The CLSS Gateway mainboard operates only with the Gent fire alarm control panels as
listed in the table below:
Table C.6: Gent Panel Connection Options
C.8.2 Compact Series Panels
For a fixed CLSS Gateway mainboard we recommend using the RS-232 connection. For a
portable CLSS Gateway mainboard, we recommend using the USB connection.
To Use a RS-232 Connection
Certain Gent panel variants can directly communicate through the RS-232 connection.
1. On the CLSS Gateway mainboard Side
Connect the RS-232 cable with pre-formed connector to the RS-232 port of the CLSS
Gateway mainboard board.
The RS-232 port is labeled as 6 in the Figure C.2.
2. On the Panel Side
• The baud rate should be 19200.
At the PB6 terminal of the panel,
• Connect the White wire to a Rx1 or Rx2 pin.
• Connect the Brown wire to a Tx1 or Tx2 pin.
• Connect the Green wire to the 0V pin.
