What does the "Network Supervision" checkbox do? (EVL3)
Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2014 7:16 pm
Hello, new user, subscribed to Envisalink monitoring (Consolidated), everything working great, except that I can't find anywhere a description of what MANAGE DEVICE > "Network Supervision" checkbox actually accomplishes (EVL3 FW135).
I find plenty of "supervision fault" references in the forum, but nothing that describes this humble checkbox.
I figure it does one of a few things: enables/disables the "heartbeat" so that if there are frequent faults, there is no notification; or simply disables these notifications (even if the heartbeat goes on); or maybe it disables any alarm being transmitted to Consolidated Monitoring.
Can anyone shed any light? I unchecked it, but it appears that the system is still transmitting info (zone changes are still showing up), I'd rather not do either of the other two options (disconnect the internet connection or trigger an alarm).
Thanks in advance.
