Receiver Tab
COM Port : Set the COM Port option to the COM
port that you want to connect to the receiver.
Be careful to select a setting that does not
interfere with your mouse, modem, or any other
device on your computer. The COM port cannot be
used for any other purpose while System Link is
running.
Baud rate : Set the baud rate to the same setting
as your receiver. The default setting is 9600. If
you are using an SCS-1 Receiver Version 812 to
access your alarm panels, you may set your baud
rate to 19200. The baud rate set here must also be set in the SCS-1 or SCS-1R Receiver.
For more information about configuring your SCS-1 Receiver, see LT-0065 or SCS-1R
Receiver, see LT-0717. If you are using an SCS-105 Receiver to access your alarm panels,
set your baud rate to 9600.

Receiver should use to dial out. If you are using an SCS-105, set this value to 1.
