Auto switch is a hot new feature

terriersc is proud to announce an important new feature that is being added to its high security alarm signalling system. Receiver Hot Standby will provide Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs) with automatic switch-over to a standby receiver.

ARCs have an obligation to be able to reinstate monitoring services in the event of an emergency at their prime ARC location and need alarm signalling to be quickly re-established at a back-up location. We’ve always offered a standby capability for our IP alarm signalling system but some form of human intervention has been needed up until now.

Now the various techniques used within the terriersc system have been re-combined with a new feature for automatic hot standby. Whether ARCs have their back-up facilities in-house or have a reciprocal arrangement with another company, the option is there to have a second receiver ready to take over at a moment’s notice.

We have updated the Config Server, which is the administrative server for the terriersc system, so that receivers can be linked together for hot standby. When communicators cannot reach their normal receiver, the Config Server will automatically provide the standby receiver address.
