Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
Protocol used by a device to learn the MAC
address of another device so it can send it an
Ethernet packet.
Area Alarm Panel
Alarm panel that monitors medical gas and
vacuum systems serving a specific area.
Auxiliary Fault Relay
Single-pole double-throw dry-contact relay
output located on annunciator module. Used
to activate a remote alarm or building
management system. The relay will activate
whenever ANY audible alarm on panel is in
progress. Pressing MUTE button on
annunciator module deactivates relay until

pairs so cable can be used to connect two
computers or devices without the use of a hub
or switch.

matched to IP addresses. Browsers use this
resource to locate the IP address of a named
device. NetBIOS name service provides this
function on a local network.
Dry-Contact

any electrical source.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP)
A protocol used by a server to assign IP

Introduction
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Verification that a product meets required
standards for emmisions of and immunity from
electromagnetic energy in its intended
environment.
Ethernet
A standard high-speed network medium
specified by IEEE standard 802.3.
Ethernet Hub
A device that connects many Ethernet devices
together. All devices on the hub receive
messages sent from all of the other connected
devices.
Ethernet Switch
A device that connects many Ethernet devices
together with optimization. Message
destinations are examined and passed only to
the correct device.
Firewall
A computer or computer software that prevents
unauthorized access to private data from
outside computer users.
Gateway
A computer or device that connects two
computer networks together (such as a private
network and the Internet).
General Fault Relay
Single-pole double-throw dry-contact relay
output located on annunciator module. Used to
activate remote alarm or building management
system. Relay will activate whenever ANY
audible alarm on panel is in progress. Unlike
Auxiliary Fault Relay, pressing MUTE button
on annunciator module WILL NOT deactivate
relay. General Fault Relay will deactivate only
after alarm condition is corrected and alarm
panel resumes normal status.
HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
Protocol used to manage the request and
transfer of web pages to a computer.
Internet Protocol (IP) Address
Unique number that identifies a device on a
network.

alarm panel back box. Sensor rough-in must
be piped to medical gas / vacuum pipelines.
Media Access Control (MAC) Address
A unique hardware address of a device on an
Ethernet.
Master Alarm Panel
Monitors medical gas and vacuum source
equipment and main pipelines.
NetBIOS Name Service
Local method of addressing a device by name.
This allows a web browser to reference a
device by name, such as TA2_12345, instead of
an IP address, such as 192.168.2.3.
Remote Sensors
Pressure / vacuum sensors mounted outside of
alarm panel back box. Sensor rough-ins may
be mounted separately or ganged together near
pressure / vacuum pipelines. Sensors must
then be wired to alarm panel.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
Protocol for sending email on a network.
Subnet Mask
A binary number used to separate the network
portion from the host portion of a network
address.
SMTP Client
Computer or device that uses SMTP to send
email by communicating with an SMTP server.
The TotalAlert 2 acts as an SMTP client.
SMTP Server

email from an SMTP client and then transfer it
across the internet.

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
Protocol used to send data streams between
two devices. TCP guarantees reliable and in
order data from sender to receiver.

Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an
electromagnetic site survey, ashould be less than the compliance
level in each frequency range. b
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with
the following symbol:
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.

structures, objects and people.
aField strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios,
amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the
electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, and electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the
measured field strength in the location in which the TotalAlert 2 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the
TotalAlert 2 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be
necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the TotalAlert 2.
bOver the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
