Network Trigger

 

Ensure this box is checked to enable the LAN Relay trigger. This can be used with a 3rd Party LAN Relay which can receive text or used with the RegWATCH (SOFT1046) software.

 

Note : The software can trigger network attached relays at the time of recognition. Support for the *Zip branded access controller is built in, also supported is the entry of user-defined trigger commands in ASCII format along with an inter-command delay.

*Zip Access Controller is still in development.

 

Connection to the Zip access controller is via TCP/IP on port 8000. Be aware that the ZIP access controller only supports a single connection to it’s data port so units deployed and managed by the Zip Access Controller software suite cannot be used simultaneously via roboPlate.

 

 

Note: The user defined relay module must act as a TCP/IP server A delayed network trigger can be specified on the next tab, configured in exactly the same way but with the addition of a post-recognition delay time specified in seconds. The software accepts time slices from the Windows operating system to increment an internal time counter so timed and time-delayed Actions are only approximate.
