SET UP ALOHASPY.INI
The ALOHASPY.INI file determines how terminal messages route to the security system. It is stored in the \ALOHA directory. Edit this
text file to reflect the settings in Maintenance and the peripheral connections. In this document, (#) indicates an applicable number
corresponding to the description.
ALOHASPY.INI consists of three sections of settings:
COMM(#) — Defines the COM port to which the security camera is attached. Each COMM section requires corresponding DEVICE
information. (baud, parity, stop bits)
DEVICE(#) — Defines the security camera number. This number is one unless there is more than one camera configured. Each
DEVICE section requires corresponding TERM information. The device type is the kind of port in which the camera is attached.
Device Type ID is the physical comm port number in which the device is attached.
TERM(#) — Defines the terminals attached to the camera in which gathers transaction information for up to four terminals. Each
terminal connected to Aloha Spy must correspond to the appropriate DEVICE.
The following is an example of a typical ALOHASPY.INI file:
[COMM1]
BAUDRATE=9600
PARITY=0
STOPBITS=1
[DEVICE1]
DEVICETYPE=COMM
DEVICETYPEID=1
[TERM1]
DEVICEID=1
SPYTYPE=TVS
[TERM2]
DEVICEID=1
SPYTYPE=TVS
The following identifies the terms as entered in the ALOHASPY.INI:
[COMM1] — Indicates the computer’s COM port to which the DVR is connected.
BAUDRATE — Set this to 9600 to conform to the DVR configuration requirements.
PARITY — Set this to 0 to conform to the DVR configuration requirements.
STOPBITS — Set this to 1 to conform to the DVR configuration requirements.
[DEVICE1] — Indicates the actual security camera peripheral. Each camera has a separate device number and the sections below it
refer to that device
DEVICETYPE — Indicates the type of port in which the DVR is connected.
DEVICETYPEID — Indicates the COM port in which the DVR is attached.
[TERM1] [TERM2] — Indicates the terminal number set in Maintenance > Hardware > Terminals. Each terminal with a camera should
be listed separately with the corresponding section. There can only be three terminals per device.
DEVICEID — Indicates the [DEVICE(#)] for the security camera to which this terminal should display.
SPYTYPE — Indicates the name of the security camera. Note
This will always be TVS
