When the primary connection between Security Center and a Bosch intrusion panel fails, the failover connection takes over.

What you should know

When the intrusion panel uses the failover connection, it is displayed in a yellow warning state, and performs connection tests on the primary connection. After five successful tests, the primary connection is considered stable, the panel switches back to the primary connection.
The following custom events are triggered when the connection to the unit changes:
Bosch Intrusion: Unit switched to the failover connection
You receive this event when the unit starts using the failover connection.
Bosch Intrusion: Unit switched to the primary connection
You receive this event when the unit switches back to the primary connection after using the failover connection.

Procedure

  1. From the Config Tool home page, open the Intrusion detection task.
  2. Expand the Intrusion Manager role from the entity browser, and select the intrusion detection unit you want to configure.
  3. Click the Properties tab.
  4. In the Connection configuration section, set the Failover connection option to ON.
  5. In the fields that appear, enter the IP address and port number for the failover connection.
  6. In the Delay before switching field, enter how long you want the intrusion detection unit to remain offline when the primary connection fails before switching to the failover connection.
  7. Click Apply.
