TOA VS-900 Programmer’s Guide Overview Security system installations often require integration of the VS-900 Security Intercom systems with touch-screen control systems, graphic annunciator panels, and camera controllers. TOA offers two options for meeting this requirement: 1. The VS-900DI and VS-910DI interface products offer a hardware solution—they provide the call LED outputs and select switch inputs required for graphic annunciator panels.
TOA VS-900 Programmer’s Guide Connecting to the VS-900MF Mainframe The VS-900MF Mainframe includes two RS-232 serial communication connectors for operation, monitoring, and programming of the system. Connect to either communication ports with the settings described on page 5. You can control multiple exchanges from a single serial connection.

TOA VS-900 Programmer’s Guide Remote Dial Command With the protocol below, you can remote dial and perform functions of individual Master Stations in specific exchanges. To terminate any current functions, precede remote dialing content with “CC” (Clear function x2).
TOA VS-900 Programmer’s Guide Log Data Output Request The VS-900 Log Data Output allows you to monitor most station and system activity. Send the string below to initiate Log Data flow from individual or multiple exchanges simultaneously. Once the data stream has been initiated, the VS-900MF will continue to send the log data without re-sending the request.
TOA VS-900 Programmer’s Guide Examples 1. Remote Dialing The data sequence below will remote dial Master Station #1 in Exchange #1 to dial Sub-Station #105 and initiate communication. The “CC” (Clear) is included to terminate any current Master Station functions. Note: The total Dialing Contents must be 32 bytes.
TOA VS-900 Programmer’s Guide 2. Remote Dialing – All Call Paging The data sequence below will remote dial Master Station #2 in Exchange #3 to initiate All-Call Paging by dialing *800#. Again, the “CC” (Clear) is included to terminate any current Master Station functions. Note: The total Dialing Contents must be 32 bytes.
TOA VS-900 Programmer’s Guide 3. Log Data Request The data string below requests Log Data from Exchange #1 (only). After the Log Data Request has been sent, the Log Data string will be sent to the PC in the format shown on the next page (Example 4. Log Data Format).
