TWP
Communicator allows user to receive messages from other TWP Communicator as well
as from regular TWP devices and respond back by choosing one of the answers
attached to the message or one of pre-programmed answers. Wireless Keyboard can
be used with TWP Communicator to create a new message and send
this message to another unit within covered area or to outside recipient through
the Internet. When sends a message, TWP Communicator always checks for the
message delivery acknowledgment. If a message cannot be delivered it warnings
the user immediately.
This TWP Communicator can be used as
a panic button. In the Panic Mode the Communicator sends a pre-programmed alarm
message when a Communicator button is pressed. Like any other TWP wireless Panic
Button this Communicator supports escalation procedure. It means that if a
message cannot be delivered to a recipient or if the recipient did not responded
back in proper time this message can be sent again to another address according
to escalation list.
Communicator’s display has some
graphic capabilities. It can show some pre-programmed icons or animations in
case of receiving of some particular messages. It can also “zoom” the text -
display the text of the message with bigger characters.
One more useful feature of this
Communicator is the Locator Mode. Communicator that got appropriate rights
during the subscription process can display the current distance between itself
and other unit. It helps, for example, to discover the current location of a
panic button in case it was moved after it sent an alarm message. Locator Mode
does very good support during the maintenance of a system. Using this mode we
can easily find a device that requested a battery replacement.
This Communicator has several special
security features. The first one is the message encryption. All the
communication between Communicators that belong to some group can be encrypted
with a randomly generated key. No person outside of the group including the
administrator or a technician that is currently maintaining the system can read
the encrypted message. Different groups of Communicators can use different keys.
If this key is not registered in the computer database the text of such message
cannot be recorded in the message log.
Special protection can be used to
prevent an unauthorized access to this Communicator. In addition to the regular
password protection a TWP Communicator has a Wireless Key protection capability.
Any another TWP Wireless unit can be used as a Wireless Key to protect TWP
Communicator. If the distance between a Communicator and its wireless key
exceeds the selected level the Communicator turns itself into the locked state.
It is a good idea to use a belt clip alarm unit as a wireless key. In this case
the alarm unit vibrator will notify the user if he or she left the Communicator
on a cafeteria table. And vice versa. The Communicator will warn the user to
pick up the Wireless Key by activating an appropriate alert.
Since this Communicator cannot be
lost it can be used as a reliable personal ID. This system is more convenient
than a regular magnetic card. Door lock releases automatically as soon as a
person with authorized Communicator approaches the door. There is no need to
swap the card. In the same time it is much more secure because, in contrast to
magnetic card, our Communicator cannot be copied.
One more advantage of this
Communicator as well as any other TWP Wireless unit is its inherent anti-theft
capability. After a Communicator has been subscribed to one system it cannot be
used in any other one. There is no way to change the information about
subscription. This feature makes the theft of a TWP Wireless Communicator
useless.
