Migrate from 'DC09 ARC Connection' to the 'Alarm Dispatcher' in evalink talos

In this article, we are going to describe how to migrate from DC09 ARC Connection to the Alarm Dispatcher.

The DC09 ARC Connection integration will soon be decommissioned from evalink talos. The replacement is the Alarm Dispatcher, an integrated tool allowing you to handle forwarding of alarms to different ARCs while selecting your criteria and the protocol.

In order to use the Alarm Dispatcher, go to Company > Settings > Dispatcher and click on “Add Monitoring Station”.

Fill in the Name of your New Monitoring Station and then click on “Add new Target” and give the name of the target.

 You can then click on the “Target”, select the protocol, and add the connection details (account, encryption, IP, port).

 

After, you go to your Site > Dispatcher and you click on “Create Alarm Dispatcher”.

On the left side of the screen, you can add a Default Destination – this means that all alarms will be forwarded to this particular destination.

On the right side, you can select Specific Destinations - alarms based on your criteria could be sent to another Monitoring Station (ARC).

Picture above: on the right side of the Dispatcher screen, you can select Specific destinations. For example, FIRE alarms to a specific Fire Brigade ARC while all the rest are handled by the
default destination on the left.

Click on “Choose a Monitoring Station” to select the Monitoring Station you created in the previous steps.

Obviously, you can create as many Monitoring Stations as you want and select them for your Sites. You can even select more than one targets per Site.

Whenever you finish your configuration, don’t forget to click on the Save button at the bottom of the page.

After you finish configuring the Alarm Dispatcher, head back to your Site's Integrations tab and delete the DC09 ARC Connection.
