Virtual Zones Programming (Single Panel): DSC PowerSeries Neo allows the assignment of up to 32 of its total zones as virtual zones. A DSC PowerSeries Neo zone can be triggered in Alarm, Trouble, Tamper by Kantech inputs, doors or controller events using Virtual zones. The benefit is that a Kantech Controller Door can cause an event on a DSC PowerSeries Neo zone without any wiring, and transmit the event to the monitoring central station if needed. Note - the following Firmware is required: o KT-400 Firmware 1.17 or higher o KT-400 rev1 Firmware 1.23 or higher o KT-1-M or PCB Firmware 1.03 or higher Note: HS2016 can only have 16 virtual zones The following steps describe the method to program a single panel as a virtual zone: 1. DSC Virtual zones need to be assigned to a DSC physical zone using the DSC keypad using option a. On the keypad: [*8]-[installer Code],[560] b. Scroll the Virtual Zone desired and press * c. Choose the physical zone to be linked: ex: 009 d. Press # when done 2. Go to the Devices tab and select the Integrated Panel button a. Select the previously created DSC PowerSeries Neo panel b. Click the Panel Component tab c. Under Virtual zone select the number of virtual zones you have d. Save the integration module 3. Go to the Devices tab and select the Integrated Component button. a. Select the appropriate Virtual Zone in the Component dropdown list b. Click on Configuration c. Choose the Kantech component type to link in the Component type dropdown list d. Choose the Kantech component in the Component source 10
e. Check the proper DSC Component action the Virtual zone will cause on the DSC PowerSeries Neo f. Press Ok g. Save the virtual zone Virtual Zones Programming (Multiple Panels): The following describes the method to program a multiple panels as virtual zones using the virtual zone mapping window: In order to link components from multiple controllers, the gateway will manage or supervise the events of all controllers, other than the one where the Neo panel is used. The virtual zone mapping window will now be populated with all appropriate devices. When opening the mapping of components to a virtual zone, the list of components is based on the devices of the same gateway and same account where the Neo panel is used. For example, doors: the doors will be listed where Neo is connected, along with and doors of all the other controllers using the same gateway. 11
The Gateway will monitor the events from the other controllers and send commands to the KT s DLL to update the virtual zone, accordingly. Communication With NEO Panel RS-232 IP / 485 KT-1 KT-1 / KT-400 Neo passthrough IP / 485 Update KT DLL Command to Neo Panel IP State of components are reported to the gateway based on the normal process. Integration DLL at the gateway level process link between EntraPass Controller- Door-Input and, if required, send command to the KT/NEO interface to change the steate of the virtual input on the NEO panel. IP / 485 Slave Controller Gateway IP / 485 KT-300 slave controller IP Server Using this connectivity, where the gateway is sending commands to Neo (through a KT-1 or KT-400), it is possible to interact with all types of controllers on that gateway (KT-100, KT- 200, KT-300), even if connected through RS-485 bus. 12

The PowerSeries Neo/Kantech integration provides users with the following abilities: Receiving programming of the intrusion system: the partition and zone names can be uploaded to the EntraPass software from the intrusion panel. The partitions and zones can be used for various actions, such as operator operations. Additionally, the user codes can be uploaded from the intrusion panel and stored in the EntraPass software. The EntraPass operator can program and download new user codes to the intrusion panel or modify existing ones. Receiving events from the intrusion panel: the intrusion panel events can be viewed on the message list, and be used for reporting in conjunction with the standard access events. Furthermore, these intrusion events can be used to trigger video recordings, pop-up alarms, email notifications and other actions. Manual operations from EntraPass: the operator can perform manual operations on partitions from the EntraPass software, operations such as: Partition arm away, partition arm stay, partition arm no entry delay, partition arm with code, and disarm partition with code. Using intrusion components on graphics: the uploaded zones and partitions can be used in graphic floor plans to visualize where each zone, partitions and traditional access control components, are located on the floor plan. The operator can view the status of each of the components and perform operations on partitions. Arm and disarm partitions: the intrusion panel partition can be linked to a reader or readers to request an arming and disarming of the partition via a card. When a card holder presents a card and pushes the appropriate button on the reader, the KT- 400/KT-1 will send an arming request to the intrusion panel. When a card holder presents a card and opens the doors, the KT controller will send a disarming request to the intrusion panel. The EntraPass software supports single partition management per reader or multiple partition management per reader. There is no support for Virtual Keypad at this point with this integration. 14
