Vocia Text Protocol (VTP) is an ASCII text based protocol that can be used to perform a number of Vocia paging system functions. A VTP User must be assigned to enable a third party controller access to a Vocia system via a TCP/IP or RS-232 Serial connection. When creating a VTP User in the Universe Properties the user name and password fields are limited to 16 characters, are case sensitive and cannot contain spaces. A connection is established to either a Vocia Message Processor 1 (MS-1), Life Safety Interface 16 (LSI-16(e)), Non-Emergency Paging Station (DS-x or WS-x) or Text-to-Speech Processor 1 (TTS-1). The VTP User is required to be authenticated every time a connection is established. Please refer to MS-1 VTP Interface, LSI-16(e) VTP Interface, Paging Station VTP Interface or the TTS-1 VTP Interface depending on the VTP connection method.
The New and Delete functions found in the VTP Users window are used for creating and removing Users. When New is selected a User Name and Password need to be entered. These are case-sensitive and must contain no spaces. The User Name must be unique for each VTP User account and the same code can be used across multiple VTP devices.
