T/MonXM 4.7 User Manual

alarms to one of the intelligent controller ports. If this port is tied to

a printer in another location, the alarms that appear in window #8

will be printed.

Building Access Manager Module

The Building Access Manager Module software supports security

for building access using either DTMF or BAU hardware options.

The DTMF Building Access option allows personnel, without spe-

cial equipment, to log in using a DTMF telephone. The T/MonXM

host computer receives the log in call and (using the DTMF/ASCII

converter) logs in personnel at a building site.

The Building Access Unit (BAU) hardware monitors routine door

alarms and matches them with log in codes entered into the BAU

Keypads at remote sites. Invalid entries and door alarms without

keypad entries are sent to T/MonXM. The BAU gives operators a

way to identify unsecured illegal entries into equipment sites.

ASCII Dial-Up Module

Available in both multi-port and single port versions, ASCII Dial-

Up Modules provide dial-up Support for ASCII Devices. They

accept ASCII Messages, create rule tables for parsing ASCII infor-

mation and support control sequences for interrogating ASCII

devices. Requires dial modem.

ASCII Interrogator Module

Available in both multi-port and single port versions, ASCII

Interrogator Modules provide support for direct connect ASCII

device monitoring. This includes checking all data received from

the device for redefined alarm conditions. Once detected, a standard

T/MonXM alarm will be generated. Periodic query commands can

also be issued and their responses processed.

Auto-Databasing ASCII

The Auto-Databasing ASCII Modules automatically fill in alarm

descriptions and assign windows according to user-programmed

instructions. Available in direct connect and multi-port versions.

Ideal for TL1 and other messages that follow a pre-determined for-

mat.

TBOS Interrogator and Responder Module

TBOS Interrogators allow data to be brought into the system from

remotes that use TBOS protocol. These modules support up to 8

TBOS displays for a total of 512 alarm points per T/MonXM port.

TBOS typically requires an RS 422/485 interface, which can be

implemented via an external converter or a docking pad on the 602

card (see Hardware Options).

E2A Interrogator and Responder Modules

E2A Interrogators allow data to be brought into the system from

remotes that use E-Telemetry protocol. This protocol supports up to

255 addresses and is primarily used in the Bell System. Requires an

E-Telemetry interface (see Hardware Options).
