Emizon's new Remote Online maintenance software

Logon to the Emizon website www.emizon.com.au and register for a Certificate then download your "Emizon "Online Maintenance" software.  Load all your installations and wholla ! ....you can see the status of you systems live.  You can change IP settings, panel type, check GPRS signal levels, turn outputs On and Off etc. Then you can check the log to see the events going to the Monitoring Centre.  This can be done via 3G from your laptop in the field....   A new era in online support.  Click on the picture to go to www.emizon.com.au and you can register and download.

Let me ask you a few questions....

Over the last few months, Emizon has increased its market share and has shown to be ultra reliable where other systems are left behind.  Ask yourself these questions...

- Are you happy with your current alarm transmission system ? 

- Does it do everything you need ?   or are there things missing ?... maybe the odd Poll ?

- Does your system have the ability for you to do Up Load Download over Ethernet

   with out the need for a phone line ?

- Does it have a Dual path (IP and GPRS) or have an option for GPRS Only or Ethernet Only ?

- Does the system have a full audit trail for you to verify all data i.e. commands, events,

   acknowledges etc ?

- Does the system have Class 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 Certification ?

- Can you get your device online in minutes ?

If your answer to all these questions is YES, congratulations, you must already be using Emizon.

Securitel Closure

At December 31st there were almost 3000 STUs still connected to Securitel network.  Bad planning by some companies has caused their customers to be left without monitoring.  I have also had numerous reports of customers that did not heed the numerous warning letters from their installers and now are without monitoring and feverishly trying to get back online. 

PSTN call failures in Newcastle Region

We have had numerous reports of dialers failing to report.  Many in the Newcastle region.  On investigation, many of these customers have converted to another PSTN carrier.  This is a VOIP problem.  As mentioned in previous newsletters, this problem is similar to ADSL interference.   It may work sometimes or not at all.  There is no easy test ... I am investigating a tester to detect this potential problem but although it may pass the test one day, the next day may be different due to network changes.  This is why this is going to be an ongoing issue any why I state that PSTN will not be there in the future... hence why we have been so active promoting our IP and GPRS solution.
