How is the RDAS VPS GPRS System Setup & Configured?
You would think a system this complex would be a 'nightmare' to set-up, but not with the RDAS VPS GPRS! Two web-based programming options are offered:
- Online application. A simple online form is completed and a qualified RDAS engineer checks the instructions before programming the system for you.
- Direct Instruction. You can program the device through our web based programming application (for those with a little more experience)
During installation the installer can log onto the web log and check the signal strength of each individual detector as they are being installed using either an Internet connected computer or smart phone.
