The configuration parameters to perform a communication with Alarm Panels are available on the ISEC tab of this Driver's Properties Window, shown on the next figure.

DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
ID/MAC File Path |
Folder to save the file ISECIDMAC.ini with a list of identifiers and MAC addresses of Alarm Panels |
GI Interval (s) |
Interval in which this Driver must request a forced reading (General Interrogation) of all Tags. Whenever a connection or reconnection occurs, this Driver requests a forced reading after 5 (five) seconds of idle time without receiving new events from a Panel. When connecting, a Panel sends events that occurred during the disconnection period |
Check ID/MAC |
Indicates whether this Driver must check the MAC address of each Panel that connects and disconnect if that address is not correctly configured |
Use synthetic values for zone 0 |
Indicates whether the Tags from zone 0 (zero) must report synthetic values, according to the next rule: //Bit 0: Overload auxiliary output - 1300 |
Use synthetic values for zones > 0 |
Indicates whether the Tags from other zones, greater than 0 (zero), must report synthetic values, that is, 0: Closed - Events 1133/1130 or 1: Open - Events 3133/3130. If the Tag's N3 parameter is greater than 0 (zero), this value is inverted, that is, 0: Open - Events 3133/3130 or 1: Closed - Events 1133/1130 |
The file ISECIDMAC.ini must be created in an ASCII editor, such as Notepad, containing one line for each Panel, in the format ContactID;MACAddress;Password, where ContactID is the Panel's ID, MACAddress is a text with the last 3 (three) bytes of the Panel's MAC address, in hexadecimal format, and Password is the password configured so that the Panel can respond to a General Interrogation (GI) request, such as "1674;0B230A;1234".
The MAC address is checked against the MAC address reported by the Panel and, if they are not the same, this Driver disconnects that Panel if the Check ID/MAC option is selected.
In addition to the Properties Window, these configurations can be also defined at run time in E3 or Elipse Power applications. To do so, start this Driver in Offline mode, that is, execute the application with the Start driver OFFLINE option enabled, which is configurable on the Setup tab of the Properties Window. The configuration options of this Driver are described on the next table.
