CONNECTING THE IC-1600 WITH RS-232 COMMUNICATIONS Hardware Steps: PIN Settings/Cable Conections All switches should be OFF for S2 when connecting in RS-232 communications. If using Access Gold software on the host, also turn pin 6 on S1 to the ON position. Access Specialties provides a 15 RS-232 cable with each IC-1600. The blue wire is the transmit, the white wire is the receive, and the orange wire is the ground. The blue wire goes to pin 1 on J5 of the IC-1600, the white wire goes to pin 2 on J5 of the IC-1600, and the orange wire goes to pin 5 on J5 of the IC- 1600. The maximum distance, in normal RS-232 communications, is 50. This length can be extended up to 10,000 with the use of short-haul modems. Software Steps (How to add a Panel): In Access Gold, click on the System Device button on the far left side of the screen. Select Device Defintitions. This screen brings up all of the devices in the security system. Press F5 on the keyboard to add a device. Highlight the IC- 1600 and click on OK. There are several different tabs that organizes the information for the panel. In ASI 2000, open the Device Center module where you will see a Default Zone. Highlight the Zone for which you are defining the panel and right click. This will display the option to Add a Panel. Select this option to call up the Panel Definition window. You will see several tabs that are used to define the panel. These tabs are described in the following paragraphs. Panel Info Tab In Access Gold, each panel requires a Panel # which is a user-definable number between 1-32,765. For ASI2000, this number is optional. The Location field is the panel label or full description of where it is located. The field that states, The ID # of this Panel s PC, is linked with the panelcom.ini file. The number in the, The ID # of this Panel s PC, must match with the PCID line in the panelom.ini file local to that computer. When there are multiple panelcom computers, then each PCID number of each panelcom.ini file will be a different number. For ASI 2000, this field is called Panel Manager ID. Com Port identifies the serial port to which the IC-1600 is connected. When entering a Com Port number in the range between 1-4, Access Gold will automatically enter the commercial standard IRQ and Address Range. These settings may be entered by the user, if they do not match the actual values for the computer s com port. With Access Gold version 3.01b and later or ASI 2000, a Com port number may be defined up to 32. Page 7 Copyright 2009, Access Specialties International, LLC All Rights Reserved.

Settings Tab/Channel Led s This is the location where the Channel of a specific IC-1600 can be turned ON or OFF. A checkmark indicates that a channel is ON. When a channel is ON, and communicating properly to a device, then the LED for that channel will flash continuously. Channels should be turned OFF, when there is not a device connected to it. This will allow efficient polling to the connected devices. If a channel is ON, while the the device connected to the channel is not comunicating properly, then there may be a delay for that IC-1600 s overall functions. This delay can also be caused by unused Ports on a CE-1600 that are turned ON. Unused Ports on the CE-1600 can be turned OFF with dip-switches. See the CE- 1600 manual for more information on this. Memory Configuration Button/Memex Under the Settings Tab is the Memory Configuration button. This button takes the user to the screen that sets up the memory for the IC-1600. Setting up memory is done with ALL IC-1600 s. This must be done as the IC-1600 is first defined (preferably while PCW or Panel Manager is not running for that IC- 1600). The memory settings depend on the the size of the database fields and the memory capabilities of the IC-1600. Table 1.2, on page 16 illustrates the appropriate settings for a panel with a memex and for a panel without a memex. Memex stands for Memory Expansion Module. A memex is required on all IC- 1600 s allocated for 1000 cardholders or more. Updating Tab In the RS-232 direct connection configuration, always define the panel to be updated continuously. This is also the same for RS-485 panels and panels using short-haul modems to communicate to the computer. RS-232 Dial-up modem communications is the only connection type that may allow a panel to be updated on a schedule. Notes Tab The Notes Tab is available for you to enter any comments, installation notes, etc. that you may have on that specific device. The system also lists when the panel was defined and each time the device defintion is changed. Every log entry will note the Date, Time and which operator made the changes. Access Gold - Turning off a Panel from PCW Turning off a panel from PCW means that the panel will not be polled when PCW is running. Turning off a panel from PCW is rather simple. First stop PCW and determine what the PCID numbers are for all of the Panelcom computers. The PCID number can be found in the panelcom.ini file. If there is only one panelcom machine then the default PCID is 1. You need to change one field for each panel that you want to turn off from PCW. Change the field that is under the Panel Info tab that states The ID # of this panel s PC to a PCID number that has not been used. There are several situations that would benefit from turning off a panel from Page 8 Copyright 2009, Access Specialties International, LLC All Rights Reserved.

Access Gold - Turning off a Panel from PCW (Continued) PCW. For example, if there is a problem with communications for a specific panel communicating to PCW and PCW talks to multiple panels, then it is easier to troubleshoot the problem with all panels turned OFF from panelcom except for the panel that is experiencing commuication problems. Another scenario is if the user suspects that a panel that was recently downloaded to is not consistent with the database on the computer. If there are multiple panels communicating to PCW, then turning PCW OFF from all other panels ensures a quicker and cleaner download to the panel that has a suspect database. ASI 2000- Turning off a Panel from Panel Manager Under the Options menu in Panel Manager, you can select Turn Transactions On/Off so that it will not poll the panel. When you select this option, you will see that you can turn the Transactions on or off by clicking on the check box next to the panel and then on Save. CONNECTING THE IC-1600 WITH RS-485 COMMUNICATIONS Hardware Steps: Pin Settings To select RS-485 communications for the IC-1600, turn pin 2 on S2 to the ON position. If using Access Gold software on the host, also turn pin 6 on S1 to the ON position. If multiple IC-1600 s are connected to one RS-485 converter, then a unique address must be assigned to each IC-1600. This is done on pins 4-8 on S2. See Table 1.1 on page 14 for the address key. This address must be the same as the address specified in the IC-1600 device definition. One Com port may communicate up to a maximum of 16 IC-1600 panels. RS-485 COM Board Install the RS-485 COM board onto the IC-1600 s CPU11 board. To attach the COM board to the CPU11 board, connect the low number on the RS-485 COM board to the low number on the CPU11 board. Normally, it is J1 to J7. If you noted that the panel would be used with RS-485 communications, then this COM board will already be installed. RS-485 Converter Next,install the RS-485 converter. Access Specialties recommends the B&B Electronics Converter. The model number is 485ptbr and their phone number is (815) 433-5100. On the converter jumper the T+ to R+ and jumper T- to R-. Connect T+ to pin 2 and T- to pin 1on J5 of the IC-1600. Page 9 Copyright 2009, Access Specialties International, LLC All Rights Reserved.

Computer s COM Port 3 Daisy-chained IC-1600 s RS-485 Software Steps: Follow the same steps noted above for adding a new panel, but specify RS-485 communications in the Panel Information tab of the IC-1600. You will also note the address of the IC-1600. The address must match the address configured on S2 of the IC-1600 panel. The rest of the tabs in the IC-1600 definition (Settings, Memory Configuration, Updating, and Notes) can be entered the same way as a regular RS-232 direct connect panel. CONNECTING THE IC-1600 TO AN RS-232 DIAL-UP MODEM Hardware Steps: PIN Settings To select RS-232 dial-up communications for the IC-1600, turn pin 1 on S2 to the ON position. If using Access Gold software on the host, also turn pin 6 on S1 to the ON position. If multiple IC-1600 s are dialing to one modem at the computer, a unique address must be assigned to each IC-1600. This is done on pins 4-8 on S2. See Table 1.1 (page 15) for the address key. This address must be the same as the address specified in the IC-1600 definition. One com port may communicate with up to a maximum of 32 IC-1600 panels with Access Gold Version 3.01b or above or ASI 2000. On many popular modems, including the US Robotics brand, the CTS (Clear To Send) line will always reflect the power-on/power-off status of the modem. The IC-1600 can monitor this line and reset the modem configuration in the event the modem is powered on after the panel (which can happen if you need to powercycle the modem to reset it). This will disable modem operation if you don t have the CTS line wired correctly, so this monitor mode is optional. Turn ON pin 8 on S1 to enable modem monitoring if you know you have a compliant cable, otherwise leave pin 8 on S1 in the OFF position. Modem Recommendations Access Specialties recommends and supports the US Robotics, external, Sportster modems. Control Strings are provided for the 14.4, 28.8, 33.3 and 56k speed modems.

Cable Customization There are 2 ways to ensure that the cable from the IC-1600 to the modem is configured properly. First, we recommend that you use the cable that comes with the IC-1600, in conjunction with a 25-to-9 pin converter. The cable that comes with the IC-1600 has jumpers in the cable already made by Access Specialties. You must also make sure that pin 2 on the RS-232 connector goes to pin 2 on J5 of the IC-1600 and pin 3 on the RS-232 pin 1 on J5 of the IC-1600. If you are planning on using the modem monitoring feature, then pin 8 on the RS-232 connector goes to pin 3 on J5. If a 25-to-9 pin converter can not used be with the ASI cable, then a cable may be made from scratch. Here are the steps: 1. Get a 25 pin serial cable 2. Jumper pin 4 to pin 5 3. Jumper pin 6 to pin 20 4. Take pin 7 on the cable to pin 5 on J5 of the IC-1600 5. Take pin 3 on the cable to pin 2 on J5 of the IC-1600 6. Take pin 2 on the cable to pin 1 on J5 of the IC-1600 7. Take pin 5 on the cable to pin 3 on J5 of the IC-1600 Com Ports A dial-up panel may connect to a com port of 5 or higher (only up to 24) if using PCW1_6_5.exe. Prior versions may loose the carrier due to alarms and other activity on PCW. Software Steps: Panel Info Tab The IC-1600 needs to be configured as a dial-up panel. In the Panel Info tab, change the Connection Type to RS-232 dial-up modem. Enter the address for the IC-1600 that is configured on pins 4-8 on S2. Also enter the phone number for the IC-1600 s modem. Only numbers and commas can be entered in this field. Commas are used when an initial number is required to be pressed to dial an outside line. (For example: 9,,16125554512 would be a valid entry for the phone number in area code of 612, with the main number 555-4512.) The default Initialization String and the Dial prefix that automatically come up should work for all US Robotics modems. The Updating Tab When PCW or Panel Manager are calling only one panel, then the panel can communicate to PCW continuously. The continuous communications is set in the Updating tab. You would also set the communications to continuous whenever you want initiate a database download to a dial-up panel. If there is more than one panel calling the PCW or Panale Manager machine, then these panels will have to communicate on different schedules. This is also accomplished by changing the Page 11 Copyright 2009, Access Specialties International, LLC All Rights Reserved.

The Updating Tab (Continued) Updating tab of the IC-1600 device definition. Each panel should have their own schedule. Each panel must be contacted at a different beginning Times and/or Dates. This does not affect alarms. Panels will immediately call the computer to report an encountered alarm. Alarms are reported by each panel as the alarm is generated. Alarms with Alarm Response Commands only function with panels that communicate continuously with PCW or Panel Manager. Access Gold - The Panelcom.ini File When installing a dial-up panel, you must make changes in the panelcom.ini file. The following lines must be added to this file to allow the panel to call PCW back. The only time a panel calls back PCW is when the panel has encountered an alarm to report back to the PCW modem. The number 1 signifies which com port the IC-1600 is connected to. Modem1=9600,N,8,1 ModemInit1=AT&FE0Q0V1X4S0=0&C1&B1&A0&W0&U6&N6 RetryInterval=3 TransactionThreshold=75 DialBack=FALSE When all Panels in the Database use the same phone numbers when calling to report each IC-1600 s alarms, you would add the following lines below. Phone1 would be the primary number and Phone2 is the secondary number. The commas for Phone2 signify one second pauses, which helps when a number is required to dial on an outside line. Phone1=5555253 Phone2=9,,5552123 When Panels need individual phone numbers because of different area codes, you would add the following line items to the.ini file. Each panel can be downloaded two Phone numbers a & b. PhoneList=true PhonePanel1a=1234567890 PhonePanel1b=1234567891 PhonePanel2a=5555432 PhonePanel2b=5553211 Downloading the Database to a Dial-up Modem Panel Each dial-up panel should be downloaded the database individually. When reallocating to a dial-up panel, the panel must be defined as continuously under the Updating tab. (Reallocating is downloading the database to the IC-1600). Once the database has been completely downloaded to the panel, that panel may be put back on a schedule for updating by Access Gold.
