CR/LF. The Zone Status is 208 bytes and is identical to the “data”
portion of the “ZS” ASCII command.
EXAMPLE: 00AP43SendingZoneStatus^M^J
Packet Data: SendingZoneStatus(208 bytes of ZS zone status) (CR-LF)
4.4 Ethernet Central Station Reporting (AR)
4.4.1 Alarm Reporting (AR)
Reporting of alarms through the built on serial port 0 consists of an ASCII string following
the same data format of the digital dialer’s Contact ID transmission. Programming one of
the telephone numbers with a dialer format set to “Ethernet” will enable the transmissions
of the alarm ASCII strings over the RS-232 serial port 0. Available in M1 Version 4.2.8
and after.
16ARAAAAAACCCCGGZZZT00CC<cr><lf>
16 – Length as ASCII hex, 22 bytes
AR – Alarm Reporting Command
AAAAAA – Account Number, 6 ASCII digits
CCCC - Alarm Code consists of 4 ASCII digits.
GG - Group/Partition Number consisting of 2 ASCII digits.
ZZZ - Zone/User Number consisting of 3 ASCII digits.
T – IP Address to send alarm on. Valid 1 to 8 on M1 Gold, 1 to 4 on M1 Standard and Ez8.
00 - Future use 2 digits.
CC – checksum
Example: 16 AR 123456 1134 01 001 1 00 85 - Length 22 bytes, AR alarm reporting,
account 123456, CID – Burglar Entry/Exit 1, Area 01, Zone 001, use telephone/IP address
1. Spaces are for readability only.
4.4.2 Alarm Report Acknowledge (ar)
The Ethernet Module (M1XEP) will acknowledge the M1’s Alarm Report transmission
with the reply: 06ar0067<cr><lf>. This acknowledge is sent to the M1 only if the central
station’s server acknowledges the Ethernet Module’s data packet.
4.4.3 Alarm Reporting Test (AT)
The Alarm Reporting Test string is sent every 15 minutes from the M1 as a keep alive
message to the M1XEP Ethernet Module along with which IP address to test. All IP addresses
are set into the M1XEP module.
07 – Length as ASCII hex, 7 bytes
AT – Alarm Reporting Command
T – IP Address to test, 1-8
00 - Future use 2 digits.
CC – checksum
