Configuration of TTS-1e Sequences is performed in the World Properties window under TTS-1e Sequences.
Control Network Settings (LAN-1), has an IP address field that reports the current IP address for the selected TTS-1e that is used for IP communications with the device. The TTS-1e IP Configuration window can be used to set this value or it can be added in this field.
The TTS-1e RS-232 port is able to be used to communicate directly with a Rauland Nurse call system.
Enable Nurse Call - When selected the nurse call functions will be available. This requires additional licensing permissions in order to function. A Nurse Call Service Licence Alarm will indicate if licensing is not enabled.
Default Voice - can be specified. This must be available on the TTS-1e as a licensed voice.
Nurse Call Serial Port Options Settings:
Baud Rate can be set to - 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200. Default is 9600.
Stop bits can be set to 1 or 2. Default is 1.
Parity can be set to None, Odd, Even, Mark, Space. Default is None.
Data Bits can be set to 7 or 8. Default is 8.
RTS and DTR can be enabled or disabled. Default is enabled.
Flow Control can be None, XOn/XOff, RTS and RTS XOff/RTS XOn. Default is RTS.

Nurse Call Protocol - Rauland Responder 5 is supported.
Enable Passive Mode - Removes the monitoring of the RS-232 port if required. Please see the TTS-1nce RS-232 Wiring Topologies section for more details.
Enable Serial Communications Monitoring - This monitoring mechanism periodically checks the serial link between the Nurse Call System and the TTS-1. An alarm will be raised if the serial link is detected to be broken.
When Legacy Dial Back Pagers is disabled the TAP output format is: Area Description: Room Description: BedIndex
Example: If Area Description = CUBIC, Room Name = P1501, Bed Index = 1, and Call Priority = Patient
The TAP message would appear as: CUBICP1501:1 Patient
Area Field Width is user configurable depending on the settings in the Nurse Call system the TTS-1nce is interfacing to. For non-legacy systems a range between 1 and 5 is supported. These settings must match for correct operation.
When Legacy Dial Back Pagers is enabled the TAP output format is: Area Dial Number*Room Dial Number*Bed Index
Example 1: If Area Dial Number = 15, Room Dial Number = 1501, Bed Index = 1 (with bed index 1 and 2 being the Patient Beds in the room) and Call Priority = Patient
The TAP message would appear as: 15*1501*1 Patient
Area Field Width is user configurable depending on the settings in the Nurse Call system the TTS-1nce is interfacing to. For legacy systems the field is separated by a *. The length can be variable and longer than 5 characters. These settings must match for correct operation.
When disabled, TTS-1 will not monitor the Serial Communications link. If the Passive Mode is enabled, the Serial Communications Monitoring will automatically disable.
