wpan acktype type
Assigns an acknowledgment type for the Work Alone system.
There are two acknowledgment types:
type = m | CTM-200 type acknowledgment (default)
|
type = s | Server type acknowledgment
|
Notes:
- If a user initiates a ‘Man Down Emergency’ alert, the Pendant will provide the worker with either a positive acknowledgment or a negative acknowledgment.
- Entering wpan acktype with no arguments returns the current command configuration.
- CTM-200 type acknowledgment:
A positive acknowledgment (ACK) means the CTM-200 has received the alert. If the Pendant has not received an acknowledgment from the CTM-200, the Pendant will continue to send PANIC/MPANIC messages until an acknowledgment(ACK) is received. (Pendant firmware V1.1 and later)
- Server type acknowledgment:
A positive acknowledgment means that the server has received the alert from the CTM-200 and acknowledged back to the CTM-200 then to the Pendant. If the Pendant has not received an acknowledgment from the server, the Pendant will continue to send PANIC/MPANIC messages until it receives an acknowledgment(ACK). (Pendant firmware V1.1 and later)
- The remote server must also be configured to respond to messages from the CTM-200.
The message format sent from the CTM-200 is as follows:
$PPEN,0013A200402CB498,13,PANIC*03
- The acknowledgment that the CTM-200 expects from the server is as follows:
$PPQ,PAN,0013A200402CB498,13,ACK*36
The 16-digit hex number following the PPEN message is the Pendant ID and is unique to each Pendant.
Examples:
- Configured as CTM-200 type acknowledgment :
cmd wpan acktype m
- Configured as server type acknowledgment :
cmd wpan acktype s
