Introduction

Micro Seven, Inc. model EM15 provides Ethernet interface to any Ademco Contact-ID alarm panel supplying loop voltage and loop current. EM15 also provides interface signals that are necessary for receiving alarm signals from alarm panels.  EM15 transmits ANSI/SIA DC-09 formatted digital alarm messages to digital alarm receiver servers. Programming of static IP addresses, port addresses, and receiver numbers are programmable via network.

IP alarm receiver with ten different IP ports is included. IP alarm receiver software simultaneously may be able to receive alarm messages from ten EM15. 

Secured communication with EM15 for receiving alarm signals from alarm panels

 

Event reporting at EM15 is transmitted to an alarm receiver/server CSR as TCP-Server. EM15 accepts any telephone number in either DTMF or pulse dialing. If there is any transmission problem including server busy condition or Internet problem, kiss-off tone will never be generated to the alarm panel. Here is a sequence of events:

 

An alarm panel goes off-hook, receives dial tone, and dials a number. The alarm panel receives handshake signal from EM15, and transmits alarm signal to EM15 in DTMF tones.

 

EM15 completes checksum test of received alarm signal in sixteen digit DTMF tones, and transmits a built-packet to CSR (server) including original alarm event information.

 

CSR checks the received CRC code with calculated CRC code, and transmits a message included “ACK” to EM15 to indicate a correct message.

EM15 generates kiss-off tone to alarm panel to end the sequence.

 

Sockets created for TCP-Client type: two for opening two sockets simultaneously after receiving calls from alarm panels and transmitting two packets for alarm receiver servers. Each packet contains a unique receiver number (see below).
 

Packets transmitted by EM15:

 

(CRC codes) “ADM-CID”) (event sequence number)(receiver number)(account pref.)(account number)(alarm events, zone, partition)(MAC address)(time stamp)<CR>

 

 

General specifications:

 

Number of TCP Sockets created by EM15: two for opening two sockets simultaneously after receiving calls from alarm panels and transmitting two packets for alarm receiver servers. Each packet contains a unique receiver number.

Internet functions included: DHCP-client, TCP-client, DNS, SNTP-client,, and ICMP-server

Unique MAC address for each EM15

Time stamp data from remote SNTP server is translated to UTC(UK time).

 

Telephone line interfaces for receiving messages from alarm panels

 

Loop voltage and loop current

Dual frequency call progress tones (dial tone and ring back tone)

Handshake and kiss-off tones

Kiss-off hold until receiver server receives messages and sends with ACK signals.

Telephone line interface type: FXS (simulated telephone line)

 

UDP:

 

Transmission to only one UDP server is supported.

No email/text messaging capability.

DNS and Dynamic DNS resolutions are also supported.

The demo/test software for UDP server is one port device.

 

Standards:

 

ANSI/SIA DC-09

DC-05 digital communication standard(contact-ID)

 

Software

Central receiver software (demo) included for PC

The sample received data is shown in the screen shot below. Received data includes MAC address of the client, alarm sequence number, received number, account prefix, time stamp, received CRC, calculated CRC, total byte length, complete received IP message, received programming data, transmitted message (by server). IP port (9990) is shown. EM15 searches a free IP port among 9990 and 9999. The large edit window on the right hand side shown all accumulated received messages. History file of all received alarm messages is created in the same disk file. Restoring alarm messages may be ignored by selecting “DO NOT SHOW RESTORING EVENTS” in the screen.

 

Programming software for IP parameters

The screen shot of the programming software is shown below. Programming of alarm sequence number, receiver number, account prefix, programming data, server IP addresses, IP port numbers, selections of adding MAC address and time stamp, Programming data field, email/text messaging, UDP/TCP selection(not shown), multi-line port(not shown) and other features is available.

 

 


 


 


Options:

International AC/DC power adapter

Email/text messaging capability, optional email/text messaging transmission is programmed in the following screen.

Dynamic DNS and programming is provided in basic unit. The button “DISPLAY IP ADDRESS” displays all IP addresses in an Ethernet network in the right edit window.
