Bosch Appliances D9412GV2 manual Path # IP Add4, Path # PortNum, Path # Poll Rate

Path # IP Add4

Default: 0

Selection: 0 to 255

Refer to Path 1 IP Add1.

Path # PortNum

Default: 7700

Selection: 1 to 65535

This prompt specifies the destination port number for each of the four enhanced communication route path destinations. All four IP address-and-port pairs must be unique to ensure that event acknowledgments are accounted correctly. Duplicate address-and-port pairs are not supported.

Path # Poll Rate

Default:	0
Selection:	0, 5 to 65535 sec
0	Disables the heartbeat poll (not
	recommended, refer to the first
	Important Note that follows).
5 to 65535	Enables the poll rate for the amount
	of time programmed here.

This prompt and the next two prompts determine how the SDI Path is supervised between the SDI device and the central station receiver(s). Do not confuse the SDI Path supervision with the supervision of the SDI device itself (the connection of the SDI device to the control panel). Each SDI Path can be configured to transmit a Heartbeat Poll to the central station for supervision purposes. This ensures the integrity of the connection at all times.

If using IP Addresses as the communication means for UL 864 Commercial Fire applications, program this parameter as necessary.

When sending reports to a central station receiver over a network path, you must set Path # Poll Rate to a non-zero value. Failure to program a value into this field could prevent a failed network communications path from restoring to normal.

If the control panel is programmed to send Heartbeat Poll to the central station, a rate of 75 sec maintains the virtual link in most network configurations. Decreasing the value for Path # Poll Rate increases the amount of idle communication between the SDI device and the central station receiver. Increased idle communication between the control panel and the receiver decreases the control panel’s event reporting efficiency.

The control panel readjusts the Heartbeat

Poll rate temporarily to less than 300 sec to 300 sec when online with RPS. The poll rate returns to the programmed value after the RPS session ends.

The value programmed in Path # Poll Rate is the interval at which the control panel sends a Heartbeat Poll to the central station receiver. The value programmed in Path # Ack Wait is the length of time the control panel waits for an acknowledgment of a Heartbeat poll. If the acknowledgment is not received, the control panel checks to determine if the Path # Retry Count entry is greater than 0. If so, the control panel retries the number of times programmed (in Path # Retry Count) to send the Heartbeat Poll before declaring the Path failed and generating a COMM FAIL SDI ## (Path 1 = SDI 88, Path 2 = SDI 89, Path 3 = SDI 90, Path 4 = SDI 91) Event.

If Path # Poll Rate is programmed with a value and the central station does not acknowledge the poll from the control panel, keypads annunciate a trouble condition. To send this event to the central station, refer to the Comm Fail prompt in Section 2.13.2 Panel-Wide Relays on page 81.

Example of Heartbeat:

•Path # Poll Rate is set to 120 sec

•Path # Ack Wait time is set to 10 sec

•Path # Retry Count is set to 2
