Matrix2000 repeaters
6.1.2 General Description
The MRS232/485 communication module provides Matrix2000 panels with the ability
to accommodate through the RS-485 port up to 7 different fully functional repeater key-
boards for each panel.
The MRS232/485 module’s jumper labeled JP2 is used only when the Matrix2000 panel
is connected to repeaters. In the event that repeaters are not connected then the jumper
JP2 must be left open, otherwise, repeaters connected, JP2 must be closed.

This module also provides the Matrix2000 panels the ability to connect to a local PC
through it’s serial port. Monitoring and control of the system from a PC can be performed
with the aid of specially developed software (ViewMatrix) running under Microsoft’s Win-
dows. This software simulates the keyboard and the settings of the panel in a user
friendly graphic environment on the PC screen. All actions are performed with the use
of a simple mouse.
