than one value, they should be semi-colon delimited values, while each list should be comma delimited,
e.g. tolist=101;114,maintlist=111.
Following is a list of Settings parameters available for use with Data Inputs, their range of values, and
their default behaviors:
•
port=NNNN
, with values including any valid IP port value
•
baud=NNNN
, with valid values of 300, 1200, 2400 or 9600 (default 9600)
•
parity=XXXX
, with valid values of none or even (default none)
•
databits=N
, with valid values of 7 or 8 (default 8)
•
stopbits=N
, with valid values of 0 or 1 (default 1)
•
tolist=NNN;NNN…
, with NNN being any pager ID value accepted by the equipment connected to
the associated Data Output (default blank). If Event Processing is enabled, the tolist will be
processed by the event processing system. Otherwise, output messages will be created for each
element of the tolist.
•
maintlist=NNN;NNN…
, with NNN being any pager ID value accepted by the equipment
connected to the associated Data Output (default blank). If Event Processing is enabled, the
maintlist will be processed by the event processing system. Otherwise, output messages will be
created for each element of the maintlist.
Protocol
The communications protocol used by the selected interface on the selected data input. For the
Ethernet interface, any of the protocols can be selected. For a USB based interface, the R5000 and
SMTP protocols are not applicable.
Cancel Prefix
If the Cancel Prefix value is non-blank, the system will try to detect alert cancel events by comparing the
original alert activation message with new arriving messages to determine if the difference between the
two messages is a prefix value matching the Cancel Prefix value. If a match is found, the alert will be
marked cancelled. This is not applicable to R5000 or SMTP protocols. To define a data separator, such
as a space char, you can use {SP}, e.g. Cancel{SP} to make it more clear that a separator character should
be included.
Cancel Suffix
If the Cancel Prefix value is non-blank, the system will try to detect alert cancel events by comparing the
original alert activation message with new arriving messages to determine if the difference between the
two messages is a suffix value matching the Cancel Suffix value. If a match is found, the alert will be
marked cancelled. This is not applicable to R5000 or SMTP protocols. To define a data separator, such
as a space char, you can use {SP}, e.g. {SP}Cancel to make it more clear that a separator character should
be included.
