PACOM RTU SIGNAL

Enables events to be activated using keyboard hot-keys

OVERVIEW
Wouldnt it be convenient if a series of keystrokes entered into a Windows PC
keyboard could be used as a way of communicating alarms? Forget unsightly
cabling and installing conventional duress buttons and note-clip devices - instead
use a PC keyboard to signal a critical situation. Pacoms revolutionary RTUSignal
application makes this a reality.
RTUSignal essentially converts an ordinary PC keyboard into an alarm transmission
device. It enables the computer user (e.g. bank teller) to signal/communicate
an alarm situation, such as a hold-up, via the use of user-definable hot-keys
(e.g. CTRL+ALT+X). These hot-keys are transmitted via the LAN/WAN to one
of Pacoms intelligent alarm panels which, in turn, sends the alarm to a GMS
workstation and/or a third party central station for emergency response. If
required, a text message (SMS) can also be sent in response to the alarm.
Pacoms advanced high level interface enables the RTUSignal application to
transmit alarms via the network and be received by the appropriate field
controller. Once enabled, each Pacom field controller supports up to 16 RTUSignal
applications which can operate simultaneously.
RTUSignal runs as a background task and is discreetly disguised in the system
tray. For added security, all alarm data is encrypted to prevent tampering, and
password logon is required by the application when it first connects to the Pacom
field controller.
