Specifying Generic Events

What is a generic event?

This is a function that uses TCP or UDP protocol communication as an input event for this unit.

When character strings in the communication data received by the unit matches the predetermined conditions, the corresponding generic event is triggered. To define a generic event, you need to configure the incoming data settings at this unit as well as the outgoing data settings at the camera (or network device to be used).

The procedures for configuring the incoming data settings at this unit are described below.

Memo :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

● The following characters cannot be used

 

 

 

 

as part of the event name.

Event Protocol

For selecting the protocol that this unit uses

 

 

 

 

to receive data when detecting the event:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any

 

Receives and analyzes data that uses either

 

 

 

 

the TCP or UDP protocol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TCP

 

Receives and analyzes only data that uses

 

 

 

 

the TCP protocol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UDP

 

Receives and analyzes only data that uses

 

 

 

 

the UDP protocol.

 

 

 

 

 

Event rule type

For specifying the rules when analyzing the

 

 

 

 

received data.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Match

 

In order for an event to be triggered, the

 

 

 

 

received data must totally coincide with the

 

 

 

 

message specified in the [Event message

 

 

 

 

include] field of the [Event rules string]

 

 

 

 

section C, and must not contain any other

 

 

 

 

messages.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Search

In order for an event to be triggered, the

 

 

 

 

received data must contain the message

 

 

 

 

specified in the [Event message include] field

 

 

 

 

of the [Event rules string] section C. Other

 

 

 

 

messages may be included in the data.

 

 

 

 

 

Event priority

The same data may be used by different

 

 

 

 

events. Assigns the order of priority to each

 

 

 

 

event for determining the event to trigger

 

 

 

 

when the received data matches the criteria

 

 

 

 

of multiple events. Set the priority level to a

 

 

 

 

value between A0B (lowest priority) and

 

 

 

 

A1000B (highest priority).
