15.11.1.5 Serial ports

The SPC controller provides a serial port (RS232) that offer the following functionality:

Logging of Events: The Serial port interface provides the ability to connect to a serial port on a

PC or a printer. With this connection, a terminal program can be configured to receive a log of

System Events or Access Events from the SPC controller.

System Information: The Serial port also provides an interface via a terminal program that

allows for the execution of a set of commands to interrogate the controller for specific system

information. This facility is available only as a tool for debug and information purposes and should

only be used by experienced installers.

To configure the serial ports:

Select Communications > Communications > Serial Ports.

The settings displayed will depend on the type of connection that the ports are used for. The

settings are described in the following sections.

15.11.2 FlexC

The SPC Flexible Secure Communications Protocol (FlexC) enables communications for an Internet

Protocol (IP) based single or multiple path Alarm Transmission System (ATS). An ATS is a reliable

communications link between a Supervised Premises Transceiver (SPT, for example, Ethernet

integrated onto the SPC panel) and a Receiving Centre Transceiver (RCT, for example, SPC Com XT or

the SPC Connect server, www.spcconnect.com). A FlexC ATS consists of a primary Alarm

Transmission Path (ATP) and up to nine backup Alarm Transmission Paths (ATPs). It enables:

two way transfer of data between the SPT, for example the SPC panel over Ethernet, and the

RCT, for example, the SPC Com XT server or the SPC Connect server, www.spcconnect.com.

Communication monitoring of a complete ATS and individual ATPs.

SPC intrusion panels support FlexC over IP with any of the following interfaces:

Ethernet

GSM modem with GPRS enabled

PSTN modem
