Introduction
The
RUNNER LINK
Gateway
is a small external hardware addition to Crow’s
Runner Control Panel Series. It is connected to the Alarm System using a special
cable supplied and also connected to the Internet or LAN using the standard
RJ-45 connector.
Today the majority of businesses and domestic households that have an intruder
alarm installed already have an open connection to the Internet. The
RUNNER
LINK
Gateway
connects itself to the LAN therefore establishing a very low cost
communication link with any Monitoring Service of their choice.
When connected to a central monitoring station over the Internet the alarm
system has the ability to ensure professional protection 24/7. This is because a
watchdog timer ensures that the communication link from the control panel to
the central monitoring station is always intact and if there is a break in
communication an alarm is triggered immediately to cause an alarm.
When you are connected to a Monitoring Service you are able to get them to send
commands and send you a status report of your Alarm System whenever you
ask. For example, arm or disarm your Alarm System using the Internet
connection.
