Chapter 3: System functions

Alarm reporting

Alarm reporting is a procedure to transmit alarm events or other events to the
central station by means of a dialler or other device, and a set of rules called a
protocol.
The Advisor Advanced reporting features are configured via menu "9 Dialler
menu" on page 258 in Chapter 5 "Menu reference".
Available reporting codes for different protocols are listed in Appendix B "Advisor
Advanced reporting codes" on page 327.

Reporting principles

See Appendix B "Advisor Advanced reporting codes" on page 327 for a list of
events that can be reported to central stations.
When a new event occurs, the system performs a few checks below before it is
reported to central stations.
Is it mapped to any central station?
Every event in Advisor Advanced system has defined a particular set of central
stations that it can be reported to. It is done via menu "9.2.1 CS mapping" on
page 266.
For example, central station 1 is the Fire Brigade Station. All fire events then can
be mapped to CS 1. CS 3 is a security company, which monitors burglar alarms.
Burglar events as well as tamper alarms are mapped to it.
If the event is not mapped, is not reported anywhere.
Is this event already waiting for reporting?
If exactly the same event (from the same area and source) is already waiting for
reporting, such event will be reported only once.
Are there restored events?
There are two possible situations when two consecutive events are ignored
during reporting:
• The new event is a restoring event for the other one, which is already waiting
for reporting.
• The new event is an event, which restoring event is already waiting for
reporting.
If the first complementary event is configured as a delayed one in "9.2.3 Delayed
events" menu on page 267, both events are excluded from reporting.
