2. Send the message to the computer via the RS-232 port. 3. Both of the above. Most of the other choices in the D6500 Program describe HOW to send the messages to the computer or what to do if the computer is not able to accept a message.
3. Making the Right Connections There are a number of programming options in the D6500 MPU program that affect the output of the D6500 to an automation system. This section will serve as an addendum to the D6500 Program Entry Guide (74-07253- 000) and the D6500 Operation and Installation Manual (74-04651-000).
3.2 Selecting the Program Options in the D6500 MPU Program Use the 6500:MPU Product Handler to program the D6500 Receiver. Program options allow the D6500 to send reports to the automation system in D6500 or SIA message format. Below are the most common and recommended selections for programming the 6500:MPU Handler when connecting the D6500 Receiver to an automation system.

(Automation Fire - BFSK) (Yes or No) Set to Yes if the automation system supports the D6500 mode Fire event codes (sF – Fire Alarm, Gs – Fire Trouble, and Hs – Fire Restoral) when monitoring in BFSK. See the D6500 Program Entry Guide for more information.
Trailer Character (Trailer Character) sent at the end of D6500 Mode messages, usually a 14. Automation Wait (Automation Acknowledgment Wait Time) (0 to 255 seconds) is normally 7 seconds. If the Automation Acknowledgment message is not received by the end of this time interval, the D6500 will generate a Computer trouble message and activate its buzzer.
If the receiver gets a NAK (as programmed in the D6500) the receiver retransmits the message to the computer system up to two additional times. After three attempts the D6500 acts as if the message was not ACKed, it proceeds to display the message on the LCD and print the message again on the printer along with a COMPUTER TROUBLE message.
The D6500 accepts a set of four input commands through the computer RS-232 port. An automation system would be a typical input device. Two of the four commands allow you to set the D6500's time and date. One command allows you to switch line cards during listen in. The fourth command allows you to stop a listen in session.
3 through 4 = Receiver Number This 2 byte ASCII HEX field is the number of the receiver that sent the message (as programmed in the D6500). 5 = Line Number This 1 byte ASCII HEX field is the line number of the Line Card in the receiver that sent the message.
Table 3: D6500 MODE MESSAGE BYTE COMPARISON CHART 4.3 SIA Mode Messages The D6500 can transmit automation messages in SIA mode. A message in SIA format consists of a line feed, header characters, account number, data, and a carriage return, as shown below.

The D6500 SIA mode output conforms to the standards specified in the SIA Digital Communication Standard (September 1990) and Computer Interface Standard (June 1990) with the following exceptions: • The "*" block identifier code is not supported. Messages handled in D6500 manual mode are not transmitted to the automation system.

SIA Computer Interface Standard . • The D6500 method of computer failure reporting is consistent with previous versions of the D6500. The computer failure reporting methods specified in the SIA Computer Interface Standard are not supported.
The following pages list the messages that can be seen on the internal and external printers (40 character single or double line mode), or a computer terminal display connected to the RS-232 output (D6500 or SIA Mode). See Figures 5, 6, and 7 for individual character (byte) descriptions. A detailed explanation of interpreting internal printer 40 Character Mode messages can be found in the D6500 Operation and Installation Manual.
1. The program in the D7112/D9112 determines the formats of the user identification and point data as they are sent to the automation system. If the panel requests a translation, the D6500 converts point data to ZONEX format and user IDs to COMEX format. If there is no request for translation, points and IDs are transmitted to automation and printed on the internal printer with no conversion.
Input devices, such as automation systems, can send the commands described below to the D6500 to set the time and date, switch line cards during listen in, and stop a listen in session. If the D6500 does not recognize a command it generates a REJECT COMMAND message, prints at D6500 printers and sends an ASCII text type message to the automation port (6500 Mode Only).
Automation output formats for these Input Commands are shown in Table 7. 4.6 Link Test The Link test is used to test the connection between the D6500 Receiver and the automation system to which it is connected. Input devices, such as automation systems, can cause the D6500 to generate a Link Test message. The Link Test message is only generated when the D6500 has received a request from the input device, such as an automation system (SIA Mode Only).
5. The "Auxiliary RS-232 Output" (D6555 Printer Terminator) The D6555 Printer Terminator Card is an expansion accessory for the D6500 Receiver. It supports a supervised external printer or CRT monitor from its RS-232 Serial Port. Refer to the D6500 Operation and Installation Manual for installation instructions.
