Remote Connections - Tait TB8100 User Manual

Remote Connections

12 Part A: Introduction
The TB8100 base station is designed for remote monitoring, diagnostics,
configuration, and control. The Service Kit can carry out all these functions
remotely. Provided a remote link is in place, you can use the Service Kit to
connect and log on to the base station just as if you were directly connected.
The remote link can consist of a telephone line with modems at each end, a pair
of radio modems, or a pair of Tait radios that support the CCDI2 protocol.
For each remotely linked base station, you need to create a 'connection,' which
is a named configuration that tells the Service Kit how to communicate with
the base station.
It is possible to limit remotely connected Service Kit users to read-only access
to diagnostics and configuration or even to deny access completely. Local and
remote connections have separate access profiles.
With a Remote Monitoring license, the base station can be remotely connected
to an Alarm Center. On Task Manager instruction, the base station uses its
modem to dial up an Alarm Center and pass on its alarm log or send a status
message for emailing.
