17.11.2 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:
l 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.
l Communication monitoring of a complete ATS and individual ATPs.
SPC intrusion panels support FlexC over IP with any of the following interfaces:
l Ethernet
l GSM modem with GPRS enabled
l PSTN modem
