What is Pegasus™ NX?
The Pegasus™ NX Alarm Panel Communicator is an extremely compact, robust device in terms of communication
interface for alarm panels. It brings the most innovative and reliable technologies for data communication to the
Fire and
Intrusion Alarm Panels prepared to operate only with conventional telephone lines.
The device is fully compatiable with alarm panels that communicate using the contact ID protocol and provides high
speed, reliable and low cost communication. It is like a modem attached to any alarm system that passes digital
information to a 24/7 alarm receiving center which is able to respond to the received signal.
The device acts as a communicator between your alarm panel and the monitoring station. Event transmission is possible
via Ethernet network TCP/IP, Wi-Fi, and/or GPRS. The device is interfaced between the alarm panel and the telephone
line (optional). When the device is ON (active), it enters the Ethernet TCP/IP network (Internet/Intranet), wireless
network (Wi-Fi) and GSM operator network via GPRS (data channel) to establish connection with the Zeus™ server,
and thus creates an online communication channel between the monitored client and the alarm monitoring company.
Pegasus™ NX transmits all events received from an alarm panel (contact ID protocol) to the Zeus™ server. All
information transmitted by the device are cryptographed (AES Rijndael, 128 bits), and thus their top confidentiality is
assured.
The Zeus™ server is a multi-task software that works as a virtual receiver which receives all events transmitted by the
device, and then transfers them to the monitoring software as a conventional receiver (it simulates the communication
protocol of receiver, such as Ademco-685, Sur-Gard, Domus-4, Silent Knight (protocol ITI) and CM Plus. It also carries
important system task management, checks communication with the device (online or offline) constantly, presence of
