Introduction
SMTP servers use conventional connections to port 25
("smtp"). Newer servers also use port 587 in order to
receive mail for authenticated users that must be sent to
other mail servers ("submission").
Speech dialler
Component in the alarm panel for transmitting voice
messages. The alarm information is transmitted in
plain text. The text to be transmitted is recorded using
a microphone on the alarm panel.
SSL
Secure Sockets Layer, a network protocol for the secure
transmission of data.
Transport Layer Security (TLS), widely known under its
previous designation, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), is a
hybrid encryption protocol for secure data transmission
on the internet. Since version 3.0, the SSL protocol has
been further developed and standardised under the new
name TLS, where version 1.0 of TLS corresponds to
version 3.1 of SSL.
TLS encryption is mainly used today with HTTPS. Most
web servers support TLS 1.0, and many also support
SSLv2 and SSLv3 with a number of encryption methods.
Status
Alarm panel status: armed, internally armed or disarmed.
Status feedback
Feedback from the alarm panel to a module (arm
component, info module, etc.) about its current status.
Status query
Query sent to the alarm panel about the system status
(e.g. by pressing the button on the wireless remote control).
Silent alarm
(Alarm type)
This alarm does not trigger any sounders (indoors and
outdoors remains quiet and calm), but an alarm receiving
centre is discreetly notified (intruder is not scared off,
rather caught in the act, aggressive intruders are not
provoked, etc.)

Supervision
The alarm panel monitors whether detectors are present
and active. The components report approx. every 4 min.
The alarm panel responds if it fails to receive status
messages over a longer period of time.
TAE
The Telekommunikations-Anschluss-Einheit
(telecommunications connection unit) is a type of
connector used in Germany for telephone connections.
It is used as a connection to the public telephone network or
as an a/b interface for analogue telephone connections to
additional devices.
Tampering
See sabotage.
TAP
Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol, a transmission protocol
for SMS messages
Technical damage
For example, water damage or escaped gas (protection
against these things is only provided by special danger
detectors).
Partitions
An alarm system can be divided into sub-areas (partitions),
each of which functions separately as an individual alarm
system.
Each partition (e.g. apartment, workshop) can be
operated and configured separately and can contain any
number of zones/detectors.
Telephone dialler
Device used to send alarm messages from a alarm panel
by telephone line. Telephone diallers can be integrated in
alarm panels or added as additional components.
Tunstall
A social care alarm protocol.
Overlapping signal
See jamming.
UCP
Universal Computer Protocol
