PORT USE Types
TERMINAL - Used to upload and download setup information for the AD2150 from a PC. Select this use type when using the
AD2150SW12B software package. To obtain consistent performance from a PC, a 4800 baud rate is recommended.
KEYBOARD - Enables keyboard (or computer) control inputs to the port. For this use set Data Bits to 8, Parity to NONE, and
Stop Bits to 1. When a Port Expander is used, the port baud rate must be set to 4800, and the keyboards set to 1200.
ALARM - Used for an Alarm Interface Unit connection for input of alarm codes to the AD2150. Each alarm event message
sent to this port generates an output message to a serial printer via the PRINTER port (see below).
PRINTER - Outputs messages for all alarm and video loss events, both occurrence and removal, to a serial printer.
The ALARM message format is as follows:
05-MAR-1993 13:23:26 CONTACT 0001 CAMERA 0001 MONITOR 0001 CONTACT OPENED
