56 - Communications (cont'd)
the receiving station is correctly receiving the events from the Ethernet module.
On selecting this option a warning message is displayed on the keypad, WARNING!!! ENT=SEND MES-
SAGE. Press the ent key to send the engineer test.
56.4.06 = Fail to Comm
This option determines the number of unsuccessful communication attempts before the COMM FAIL mes-
sage is recorded in the event log.
When an event is to be transmitted to the monitoring station, the Ethernet module attempts to initiate a session
with the destination receiver for each programmed transmission path. If the programmed number of attempts is
reached a Fail to Comm message will be logged. The logged event will include which path has failed.
Note: if the receiver option is programmed as Dual then a successful transmission must be made to both
primary and secondary to be considered a successful transmission.
56.4.07 = Line Fail
The line fail option controls which Ethernet connections are monitored. The Ethernet module can be pro-
grammed to monitor both the network availability and the programmed transmission paths between the
Ethernet module and receiver applications.
Line fail events (whether network or transmission path) must be present for the time programmed in parameter
51.68 before the event is activated. If a line fail is present and an attempt is made to set the system within
parameter 51.68 delay period, the line fail will immediately be logged and indicated.
1 = Network
This option monitors the connection between the Ethernet module and the local network.
0 = Off
If programmed to off, the connection between the Ethernet module and local network will not be monitored. If
the local network is not available or the Ethernet module is disconnected, no line fail will be indicated.
1 = Available
If programmed as available then the connection between the Ethernet module and the local Ethernet network
is monitored. If the Ethernet module is disconnected from the network or the local network is not available a
Line Fail event will be activated at the panel. The Line Fail event logged will indicate that the Line Fail was as
a result of a network failure.
2 = Signal Path
This option determines which signalling paths, will be monitored by the Ethernet module. Monitoring is
achieved by transmission of a path supervision signal (heartbeat) between the receiver application and the
Ethernet module. The Ethernet module must receive a path supervision signal at least as often as the frequency
programmed in option 56.4.2.7 (Alarm Reporting Heartbeat). If the signal is not received a line fail condition
will become present. The line fail event will indicate the path which failed and the destination IP address of that
path.
NOTE: If groups are enabled a failure on the primary path will not provide specific IP information.
