1. Introduction to the ARLY Interface

The ARLY interface is a serial interface that provides the VisorALARM with complete IP alarm
receiver functionality. The device performs the following tasks:

• Receives alarms from the registered mIP/IPDACTs through an IP network.
• Emulates a conventional alarm receiver sending the alarms through an asynchronous serial

port in order to be processed in automation alarm software.

• Supervises the registered mIP/IPDACTs and generates the corresponding alarm in cases of

loss of communication.

• Supports the installation and maintenance of the registered mIP/IPDACTs.
• From release 10.4.7 onwards, the network backup functionality has been added.
