Rp.Pri Set the selected port as a report printe r. The report
printer port is used to manually sent report to a device
such as a printer or laptop computer. It is primarily used
for selected printing of the event buffer, test reports and
such. No fault is given if a report printer is off line or not
plugged in. Thus, a report printer can be removed at any
time. Reports are held in a buffer when the device
connected to the port is not on-line. The type of printer
(e.g. internal) can be defined.
VDU This function operates in the same manner as Rp.Pri
above, except that the report is halted every 20 lines
(one VDU screen). Pressing any character on the VDU
device will allow the report to be continued for a further
20 lines. This function is particularly useful for viewing
reports on the screen of a laptop computer. Only the
serial ports support VDU.
EMU The port is set to emulation mode. Only the serial ports
support EMU. This allows the fire panel to be operated
remotely by means of a computer. The entire fire panel
front panel keyboard and display is accessible via the
serial port in this mode. Special software (PC2000
series) is required at the computer to operate in
emulation mode.
CL Device This is the default function for the current loop port. It is
used to communicate to fireman’s panels connected to
the current loop port. This function should not be
assigned to any other port.
Setup Allows remote upload and download of site via the serial
port. This function is used to program site data into the
fire panel. Upload/download software is required at the
computer. Only the serial ports support Setup.
FEP The FEP function is used for the INT port only.
Modem This function assigns one of the serial ports as an
interface to a modem.
CMSI Allows communication to a French CMSI panel.
Although both serial ports can be set up to communicate
to a CMSI panel, a PE2485 CMSI interface card can
only be connected to SER2. SER1 will need an external
interface. When the CMSI function is selected the SDI
addresses can be configured. Up to a maximum of 15
firepanels can be connected to a CMSI panel. Two
different SDI addresses can be configured per firepanel
so that one panel can be seen by the CMSI panel at two
different SDI’s. If both SDI’s are set up for a 255-zone
panel, SDI-A is assigned to zones 1-127 and SDI-B
zones 128-254. Only the first 45 zones in fire per SDI
will be displayed by the CMSI. The baudrate for the
CMSI is fixed at 4800 baud.
