Asentria Alarms
Version 1.1 (default) for TCP
An Asentria Alarm sent via TCP is called a Notice. A notice is a piece of data formatted in printable ASCII: a set of
lines delimited by CRLF. Each line is of the format <field>: <data>CRLF. The first line has <field> = "ID" (without the
quotes). The last line has <field> = "TEXTx" (without the quotes, where x is some number between 1 and 30). The
particular format the describes the alarm, and is one of the actions that can be configured for each alarm. A notice that
rides on TCP/IP is called a "talert", short for "TCP alert". Talerts are delivered according the the Asentria Alarm
Protocol, which over TCP is just a specification of message format.
Notices ride on an IP network. The IP network is facilitated by broadband internet connection or PPP in this model.
When riding on a network from a unit to SitePath, it is assumed that a notice is normally tunneled over a VPN via a
VPNG. In situations where the VPN is unavailable, the notice rides on a PPP link to SitePath via the PPPG. When
riding on a network from a VPNG to the notice receiver (or on a network from a PPPG to the notice receiver), a notice
travels in plaintext (i.e., not encrypted).
The format below is common to all events that can trigger a notice:
<Answer string (i.e., the value of
sys.answer
)>
<Sitename (i.e., the value of
sys.sitename
)>
