• A local connection to a PC may be
achieved with FASTLINK software using
the RS232 interface present on the control
unit board. A straight, 9-pole cable and a
DB9 female-to-female connector shall be
used. Do not connect pin 1 (on the control
unit side).
7.3 SERIAL ALARM MANAGEMENT
The MP 200 is capable of sending different types of alarms, in real time, through a direct RS232 connection to a
dedicated PC with the Fast Link being run.
Connection between the PC and the MP 200 shall always be active to ensure continuous monitoring. The serial
cable shall be wired and connected as described in paragraph 7.1 (“Connecting to the local PC”).
Note. Using this performance will automatically exclude the event dispatch through the telephone communicator in
any mode (vocal, modem, numeric). Therefore, the installation of the STM 200 Modem Communicator card
may be avoided, or a telephone number (if any) need not be programmed.
The alarm dispatch through serial line shall be enabled by accessing the User Menu through the Master code
(default: 111111). Scroll through the menu items until you reach the “Remote Access Program.” Item, then enable
“Remote Surveillance Remote Access” in the “Always Enabled” mode.
From the Fast Link main page corresponding to the MP200 system to be monitored, get connected (after selecting
“RS232 direct”) by means of the “Call” button. After connection has been made, open the “Alarm Archive” page.
Manual Control shall be enabled on the Fast Link (Archives > Configuration > Call Management).
Below are the events that can be sent through the RS232 line:
Theft (Instant, Delayed, 24-h with sirens, Delayed path, Last exit) – Sabotage – Fire – Line error – System faults –
Battery low – No mains supply – Maintenance.
