Special Redcare Receiver Settings

Redcare Leg Options Redcare connects using two separate legs. Leg A and B, only one needs to be connected in order for the task to run. Unlike the serial version there is no extra hardware needed and the redcare task will communicate directly with the Redcare external servers.

Redcare Setup

In order to receive signals from the Redcare servers the client accounts must be acquired from redcare and created as clients in Patriot, the alias field must contain the clientID. Signals from unknown or non-configured clients will be ignored

Legacy Redcare Serial

There is currently no difference between how the serial and ip version of redcare decode signals. The only main difference is that the serial version requires hardware and setup from redcare. Contact BT Redcare for more information on this.
