Configuration of TTS-1nce/TTS-2 Sequences is performed in the World Properties window under TTS Sequences.
Control Network Settings (LAN-1), has an IP address field that reports the current IP address for the selected TTS that is used for IP communications with the device. The TTS IP Configuration window can be used to set this value or it can be added in this field.
The TTS 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.
Note: For TTS-1nce units, 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. There are 140 voices installed and available on the TTS-2.
Individual voice packages must be purchased and installed on the TTS-1nce.
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 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. 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 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-2 (or 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 will not monitor the Serial Communications link. If the Passive Mode is enabled, the Serial Communications Monitoring will automatically disable.
