3.4. CONNECTING TO THE HOST COMPUTER
The Host Computer is included in a full-blown HALO system that needs central site monitoring and
control. The Host Computer runs the HALO Application Software that provides the following major
functions:
§ Management of the database that stores the identities of all the system components and Tags that
are deployed within the system
§ Management and storage of logs of all the alarm conditions that occur during use
§ Annunciation of any of the alarm conditions that may exist, showing location of such an alarm
condition in a graphical format overlaid over the floor plan of the building in which the system is
installed
Figure 11 – HALO Network with Host Computer
For HALO systems that only require localized alarm and control, the Host Computer may not be re-
uired.
All devices on the RS485 bus will require an RIM for Weigand to RS485 conversion. It is important
for the computer RS485 output be connected to the “PC Terminator”, and not directly to the RS485
network so as to provide the correct termination and loading required for the driver within the PC. The
R2 TAP boxes may be used to provide clean connections from the RIM to the RS485 network line.

The Host Computer consists of a Pentium based computer with a 17”
Color Monitor, a Keyboard, mouse, and Speakers for audible feed-
back. A ZIP drive is used for periodic, data backup. The ZIP disk is
removable, allowing for off-site archiving of the backed-up database.
