2-2c. CCTV with data (1) - Event Handler (solution)

System configuration

Pressing the call button at the Entrance or at the SOS Point should generate a Call Request (623 + 101) to the Control Room.

Program DAK 1 of the Entrance station to "I 623 I 101"

Program DAK 1 of the SOS Point station to "I 623 I 101"

CCTV Control:

When a Call Request (= mail) is received at the Control Room, the AlphaCom should send ASCII text on the EDO port 1 to the CCTV system, telling which camera to connect to which monitor.
The EDO output should be "C1M1" when station 107 is calling, and "C2M1" when station 108 is calling.

When the Control Room receives Call Request (The Received Mail event goes ON), and the caller is station 107, send "C1M1" to the EDO port:

Received Mail ON at 101 when called from station 107 will trigger the EDO command

When the Control Room receives Call Request (The Received Mail event goes ON), and the caller is station 108, send "C2M1" to the EDO port:

Received Mail ON at 101 when called from station 107 will trigger the EDO command

The AlphaCom should be set as a "TCP/IP Server", and TCP port number 4005 should be used for the communication (Hint: Remember to define the port in "Filters" setting).

In Exchange & System > Serial Ports, set the EDIO 1 port as TCP/IP Server, using port 4005:

EDIO 1 port as TCP/IP Server, using port 4005

In AlphaWeb, Filters settings, define TCP port 4005:

Defining TCP port 4005

In AlphaWeb, Filters settings, enable the TCP port 4005 on relevant ethernet port:

Enabling the TCP port 4005

Use the software "PuTTY" to verify that the correct data is being transmitted from the AlphaCom (In PuTTY use the Connection type = "Raw").

In PuTTY, enter the IP address of the AlphaCom, port number 4005, and Connection type = "Raw":

PuTTY settings

In PuTTY, verify that the correct data is beinfg transmitted when a Call Request is made from station 107 or from station 108:
