Octalarm-Touch Pro
The Octalarm-Touch Pro is an alarm dialler for technical systems that require separate network interfaces and network controlled alarms via Octalarm Link (JSON REST API). The additional Ethernet port allows the dialler to be securely connected to both a technical network and a public or corporate network.
With network controlled alarms via the Adésys standard 'Octalarm Link' large quantities of alarms can be reported. This includes linking feed and climate computers, SCADA systems or any other process computer where monitoring is important.

Network controlled alarms for reporting large numbers of alarms
Network controlled alarms are alarms sent out by (technical) systems within their own network. Examples are feed and climate computers in Livestock farming, climate computers in horticulture, SCADA systems in the water world or any other process computer for critical technical processes.
Alarms via Octalarm Link (JSON REST API) make it possible to report large quantities of alarms. The available details of the alarms from your system are transferred as voice message, app alarm, text message or pager. The large amounts of alarms can be grouped into alarm categories with the corresponding priority. Each category is then linked to a handling. In this way the Octalarm-Touch Pro can be easily and automatically configured from technical systems via the REST API.
