Configure the Report IP Service : IP Polling

One of the advantages of IP reporting is that essentially it is always 'on'. This is achieved by sending regular poll messages.

In most cases, the frequency should be set to 90 seconds, however your monitoring station may request a different setting.

IP Polling should not be confused with the 24 Hour Test Signal. The 24 Hour Test signal is still required and is a Contact ID message generated by the system once every 24 hours. The polling messages are handled by the IP protocol, and don't appear as a test signal at the monitoring station. The IP receiver software handles the regular polling internally and generates a monitoring poll fail signal locally if a regular poll is not received within a predefined period.
