This document discusses connections to an automation system. The automation system is provided by others.

Compliance with Listing Agencies: Listing agencies may require on-site storage of replacement components for central station equipment, and certain power backup system requirements. Contact your listing agency for requirement information.

MX8000 Security Receiver

The MX8000 Security receiver is a central station digital receiver. See the MX8000 Site for more information and documentation.

Advantages

The MX8000 Security Receiver supports up to 36 incoming telephone lines in a single receiver. You can Link up to three MX8000 receivers on a single automation port, allowing you to monitor up to 108 telephone lines. The receiver line cards support most major digital communication formats. For a list see the MX8000 Site. In addition, the receiver interfaces with AlarmNet receiving equipment like the 7810RT transceiver, the 7810iR Internet receiver and the 7810iR-ent Enterprise network receiver. The receiver supports Caller ID, making it easier to trace incoming calls when necessary. It also supports listen-in services. All line card programming is stored in the central processor unit, so cards can be quickly replaced without emergency programming.

Benefits

The receiver saves space by concentrating three phone lines into each of 12 line cards (36 incoming lines for each receiver). The MX8000 is compatible with three line card types: MX8000-LC1 (1 line), MX8000-LC3 (3 line), and MX8000-LRR (AlarmNet Services).

Connect up to three MX8000 Receivers in tandem. Adding up to two MX8000 slave receivers allows you to monitor up to 108 incoming telephone lines on a single automation communication port.

The MX8000 can be used as a direct replacement for Ademco 685 and CPP receivers (The MX8000 Receiver uses only eight single-line cards in this mode).

Preparation

The MX8000 Receiver mounts into standard equipment racks. Plug the MX8000 into a 120V electrical outlet. Route a grounding wire to the back of the receiver location. Route the serial cable from the Automation computer communications port to the back of the receiver. Route up to 36 standard telephone lines to the back of the receiver location. Provide a parallel printer or listed spooling software for the receiver. Be sure to enable Caller ID for the telephone lines. To cause multiple receiver line cards to answer the same incoming telephone number, ask the telephone company to group telephone lines into “hunt groups.” If using listen-in features, make appropriate connections and preparations.

AlarmNet service registration and an 800 phone line is required to route backup AlarmNet-A, AlarmNet-C, AlarmNet-M, and AlarmNet-I messages from AlarmNet to this receiver using an 800 telephone line. See www.alarmnet.com for more information.

AlarmNet Communication Services

AlarmNet Communication Services provide line supervision, encryption, redundancy, and flexibility that benefit all central stations. With AlarmNet, critical system messages are delivered in a fraction of the time it takes for a phone call. Message routing occurs through the fastest available service through a special high security, control-channel cellular signal (M), through a secure encrypted internet connection (I), or through AlarmNet’s 800+ service (P). The system regularly tests the vital communication pathway to each site, ensuring a good connection when the critical moment occurs.

7810iR AlarmNet-I Internet Receiver

The 7810iR Internet receiver is an Internet receiver. See the 7810iR Site for more information and documentation.

Advantages

Through AlarmNet communication services, the 7810iR can receive signals from AlarmNet-A, AlarmNet-C, AlarmNet-I, and AlarmNet-M communicators, anywhere that they are installed.
AlarmNet service can run independently from telephone line connections, so your high-security accounts can be completely independent from telephone line service, and all of its disadvantages.

The service offers a higher security level of Encryption than any other security communication service in the industry, with up to 1024-bit Encryption.

Benefits

This method of communication provides a higher security level of Encryption than any other security communication service in the industry, with up to 1024-bit Encryption.

In the event of a failure, all messages are redirected through AlarmNet communication to onsite “Always On” AlarmNet-M receivers or to AlarmNet’s 800+ backup service when using a telephone line connected to your 685 or MX8000 receiver (see www.alarmnet.com).

Preparation

The 7810iR Internet receiver mounts near standard equipment racks on a flat surface. Connect the 7810iR Internet receiver into a 12VDC transformer or power supply. Route a serial cable from the 7810iR to the back of the MX8000 or 685 receiver and install a LRR Line card into the receiver. Route appropriate CAT5 cable from the back of the 7810iR Internet receiver to the Always-on, 24-hour Internet router or modem.

AlarmNet 800+ service registration is required to route backup AlarmNet-A, AlarmNet-C, AlarmNet-M, and AlarmNet-I messages from AlarmNet to a 685 or MX8000 receiver using an 800 telephone line. AlarmNet-M can also receive backup messages from AlarmNet-I accounts using the 7810RT.

7810iR-ent Intranet Receiver

The 7810iR-ent is an Enterprise Network receiver. See the 7810iR-ent Site for more information and documentation.

Advantages

When using AlarmNet communication services, it can receive signals from AlarmNet-A, AlarmNet-C, AlarmNet-I, and AlarmNet-M communicators, anywhere that they are installed. When installed on an Enterprise network, it can receive messages from 7845i-ent communicators at protected sites.
AlarmNet service can run completely independent from telephone line connections, so your high-security accounts can be completely independent from telephone line service, and all of its disadvantages.
