STAM-1 R is a telephone receiver expansion card, which is
a component part of the STAM-1 and STAM-2 monitoring
stations. It should be connected to the STAM-1 P or STAM-1 PE receiver
base card.
The device is a complete receiver of data sent by the control panels via
a telephone line. It makes it possible to set up a supervision center
for monitoring the state of connected alarm systems. STAM-1 R can be installed
in the PCI slot of any PC computer from which it only derives power. Other
hardware solutions can also be used, e.g. the cards can be installed in
the STAM-BOX housing
or in the monitoring station system with built-in STAM-IRS micro
server. The receiver expansion card communicates with the PC computer via the
receiver base card, to which STAM-1 R is
connected via the RS-232 pin connector.
Each telephone receiver card is provided with a RJ-11 jack connector for
one telephone line, which means that one telephone number is assigned to the
monitoring station. Additionally, the device has one mini-jack connector for
audio monitoring of the given telephone line using a headset or speakers.
The module supports several transmission formats with automatic recognition and
autonegotiation of the communication protocol. The amount of data received by
the card is unlimited and their correctness is tested as they come. The card
has a FIFO buffer for 250 last received events. Functions of automatic
diagnostics and troubleshooting of the connected telephone line ensure proper
operation of STAM-1 R.
