EAS OPTION (+EAS) MANUAL SUPPLEMENT OPT-SW-PHXEAS-MS (V1.1)
+EAS Interconnect
Option
+EAS
is intended for use with external EAS alert systems which
provide both a logic GPI trigger (optionally) as well as a serial data output in
which coding is present that indicates severity level, as well as providing the
user-facing text string that is used for the alert burn-in.
Figure 2 shows typical interconnection between the external EAS alert system
and the card/device hosting the
+EAS
option.
For systems where an openGear
®
card is hosting the
+EAS
option, a rear
module with both GPI and serial (COMM) interfaces must be installed in
order to use the
+EAS
option. Consult “Rear Modules” in card Product
Manual or the card’s web page for rear module assortment and descriptions
available for the card.

For openGear
®
(card-based) installation, card slot must be fitted with a rear
module that offers both serial (COMM) and GPI interfaces. In this example, these
interfaces are broken out via shared RJ-45 connector GPIO / COMM.
For BBG-1000 desktop/standalone installation, these models use a shared RJ-45
jack providing the serial (COMM) and GPI interfaces.
