How to set up a Poll Rate & Ack Wait Time for IP Comunication.

How to determine the values to enter for the Poll Rate and Ack Wait Time.

• Note: The calculation described is only be required on legacy control panels.  The B8512G/B9512G and GV4 types only need a Receiver Supervision Time selection.  The Poll Rate, Ack Wait and Retry count will automatically populate. 

• The formula for determining Poll Rate and Ack Wait Time is as follows:
  • Panel setting: Poll Rate + Ack Wait + ( Retry Count X Ack Wait)
  • Receiver setting: Panel Poll + Ack Wait
  • Panel setting = Receiver setting

Example: 
 
Panel Setting: Poll Rate = 240; Ack Wait = 10; Retry Count = 5
Panel setting: 240+10+ (5 X 10) = 300

Receiver Settings: Poll = 240; Ack = 60
Receiver setting: 240 + 60 = 300

300 = 300
