SFCD: Federal Commander Digital System - Federal Signal

Federal Commander Digital System
Each selection in this window will cause the CCU to initiate one or more messages to the
currently selected RTU. In each case, the CCU will wait for an acknowledgment from the RTU, for
the number of seconds programmed for Retry Delay on the Status of Base Unit window. If the
RTU does not respond within the Retry Delay time period, and if the retries field on the Status of
Base Unit window is greater than one, the CCU will resend the message again to the same RTU.
The CCU will continue to attempt to send the requested message until either the RTU
acknowledges the message or until the maximum number of retries has been reached.
