Configuring COMM4 for the Fire Panel

This section describes how to configure COMM4 to communicate with
the Fire Panel. The CX9200 communicates with the Fire Panel using a
piece of software called an Xdriver, which is available from Andover
Controls. Instead of selecting Edit Commports from the Main Menu
Bar to configure COMM4, you load an Xdriver ".dmp" file into the
CX9200 using a computer that is running a communications program.
Each Fire Panel will have it's own unique Xdriver. If you are using a
Simplex Fire Panel, you will need the SPX Xdriver. If you are using an
Edwards Systems Technology Fire Panel, you will need the EST
Xdriver.

Loading an Xdriver

You should receive four files in your Xdriver package, one for each
commport. Since COMM4 is being used for the Fire Panel, you will
either use the spxcom4.dmp Xdriver for a Simplex panel, or the
estcom4.dmp Xdriver for an Edwards Systems Technology panel. The
Xdriver loading procedure is as follows:
• If your CX9200 controller name is not "INFINITY1", then you must
edit the Xdriver file and change all occurrences of "INFINITY1'' to
your controller name.
• If your CX9200 Energynet ID is not "1", then you must change the
number at the end of the line "Dictionary : CONTROLLER NAME
: 1" to your controller's Energynet ID.
• Go to the Command window on the CX9200 and type load -o-m at
the R> prompt and hit the ENTER key.
• From your computer, send the appropriate Xdriver ".dmp" file.
• When the reload is done, the CX9200 will return to the Command
window. Type print COMM4 xdriverstatus at the R> prompt and
the CX9200 should respond with "Installed".
See the section titled Creating and Editing Points for instructions on
how to create variables that use the Xdriver port.
