1. Introduction

This document explains how you can create a connection with a pager charging cabinet delivery by Ooperon or Pager services. To control the programming and issuing of pagers by iProtect

This document provides an overview of the functionalities and steps required to connect the pager charger to iProtect.

3. How does it work

The protocol they use is espa 4.4.4. Iprotect can now send espa message to an espa node with an alarmaction. We send basically a ‘special’ version of the transaction string to the node. You can now define a ‘special’ transaction with the help of the eventlayout and transactionformat dialogue.

3.1 System setup

The connection between iProtect and Pager charging cabinet / is based on RS232.

4. Support and license

Below is an overview of support for both the hardware and the software, including the necessary license:

 5. Functionalities

A profile is issued when a user logs in/logs in to the TCS start service. A card reader is placed at each loading rack cabinet. By means of an espa 4.4.4. connection between the TCS and the Pager charging cabinet, the TCS will send a message containing the following data occurs in the text field of the ESPA string:

Overall

The ESPA 4.4.4. iProtect can send ESPA message to an ESPA node with an alarmaction. We send basically a ‘special’ version of the transaction string to the node. We cannot receive messages for e.g. an intrusion- or fire panels. It’s only used for the pager system.

 

After a card is presented on our card reader attached to their cabinet they expect a messages with the following information:

6. iProtect - pager charging cabinet hardware connection

This chapter explains how the setup can be made in iProtect.

6.1 Orion <> pager charging cabinet connection

The connection to the pager charging cabinet is made by an RS485 connection from an Orion PRT2 (using the connector marked A,B,CC,S) to the pager charging cabinet RS232 connection. The conversion from RS485 <> RS232 is done by the Delock converter,

The cable length between Ooperon and Delock RS232/RS485 converter: Max. 2 Mtr.
The cable length between Orion and Delock RS232/RS485 converter: Max. 30 Mtr.

7.4 Event format

We don’t have ‘free fixed text’ as such in event format but we can do that in the alarmaction. And we also need a ‘event format’ to strip away the extra spaces and headings of a normal transaction.

To enable the special display text for the ESPA Node, an ESPA event layout needs to be created.
