Interlogix NX-586E - Direct Connect Module Manual

DESCRIPTION

The NX-586E can store up to four (4) NetworX alarm panel configurations -- panel only, no modules -- within its own nonvolatile memory. These files can be created using the DL900 software (1.13 or later) without a panel attached (power must still be supplied). The files can also be created using the installer program mode on any existing NetworX panel without the need for any computer. The files stored on the Direct Connect unit can be transferred to any panel of the same type or read by the DL900 software for reviewing, editing and archiving purposes.

REQUIREMENTS

Computer running DL900 (download software for Windows) with available serial port
NX-586E Direct Connect module
Any NetworX control panel

Perform steps 1-6 in Previous Section of this document ("PC to Panel Direct Connect").

information This will overwrite the existing data without further prompting.

A screen will appear indicating that the data is being sent.
When this screen disappears, the process is complete.

READING DATA FROM THE UNIT TO THE DL900

Perform steps 1-6 in "PC TO PANEL DIRECT CONNECT" Section of this document.
In step 2, COM and POS can be connected to any 12 VDC source, and DATA does not need to be connected.
Select: DOWNLOAD READ PANEL DATA FROM 586
Select the location in the NX-586E from which the data will be retrieved.
A screen will appear indicating that the data is being read. When this screen disappears, the process is complete.

USING THE UNIT WITHOUT A COMPUTER

Attach the cable with the three alligator clips to the proper terminals on the NetworX panel.
Note: If you have a keypad installed in partition 8, keypad 8, it must be removed during this operation.
On a Partition 1 keypad, enter 8
Enter the 4- or 6-digit program code (default is 9713).
When prompted for the device number, enter 2 5 5 #
When prompted for the location, enter 0 #
To READ or WRITE:
1. Read (store the NetworX panel configuration into a file on the NX-586E):

Enter 1
Enter the number of the file (1 to 4) in which you wish to save it
Enter #
The 'Receiving Data' LED will flash if the command is being carried out. The keypad sounder will chime ('ding-dong') if the operation is successful.

Write (copy a file from the NX-586E to the NetworX panel):

Enter 2
Enter the number of the file to copy (1 to 4) #
The 'Sending Data' LED will flash if the command is being carried out. The keypad sounder will chime ('ding-dong') if the operation is successful.

LOCATION 0
TASKS & RESULTS
8 SEGMENTS
This is the only location used on the NX-586E. The seven segments have the following functions and meaning:

Segment 1:
Used to set the task to perform (read or write) and display the result of the task requested.

0 =		Idle condition
1 =	COMMAND	Read panel configuration into a file.
2 =	COMMAND	Write a file's configuration into the panel.
10 =	RESULT	Working.
11 =	RESULT	Invalid command; installer entered a value other than 1 or 2.
12 =	RESULT	Invalid file number; installer entered a file number other than 1-4.
13 =	RESULT	Incorrect panel type; the panel and file types do not match.
14 =	RESULT	Incorrect access code; the panel and file access code do not match.
15 =	RESULT	Timeout; the requested command had no data exchange for 3 seconds.
16 =	RESULT	Aborted; the previous command was aborted by attempting another command.
20=	RESULT	Transfer successful; the previous read or write command was successful.

Segment 2:
Used to hold the file number for the requested read or write command. The only valid values are 1-4. This segment is always set to 0 after any command to prevent accidentally overwriting an incorrect file.

Segments 3 – 6:
Used to indicate the panel type stored in files 1-4 respectively.
Results:
0 - 3 applies to the standard NetworX panels (NX-4 / NX-6 / NX-8)
4 applies to the NX-8E panel
10 applies to the NX-4V2 panel
11 applies to the NX-6V2 panel
12 applies to the NX-8V2 panel

Segment 7:
Used to set the baud rate for the RS-232 connection (must match that of the DL-900 program). The valid values are 0-7 and will be reset to 4 (9600 baud - factory default) if set incorrectly.

0= 600 Baud	4= 9600 Baud (9.6K)
1= 1200 Baud (1.2K)	5= 19200 Baud (19.2K)
2= 2400 Baud (2.4K)	6= 38400 Baud (38.4K)
3= 4800 Baud (4.8K)	7= 76800 Baud (76.8K)

Segment 8 (Read Only):
Internal Panel Table Revision (see DL900 for required version). This "read-only" segment is used exclusively for Sections "WRITING DATA FROM THE DL900 TO THE UNIT" and "READING DATA FROM THE UNIT TO THE DL900".
