Hardware Features of Transmitter

2.6.1 LED
There are three LEDs on the board to indicate connection and traffic.
LED Diagnostics
LED1 Ethernet Transmit
LED2 Ethernet Receive
LED3 Ethernet Collision
Both LED1 and LED2 are normally ON in their default state after power-
up (i.e., when no Ethernet cable is connected, and there are no packets
being transmitted or received). When a packet is transmitted, LED1 will
go off for a period of about 100ms, and then on again (it will blink
once). When a packet is received, LED2 will go off for a period of about
100ms, and then on again (it will blink once). If both LED1 and LED2
are off after applying power, the T-Link is not operational.
2.6.2 Specifications
The maximum allowable current draw from the panel on the Auxiliary is
500 mA @ 12 V . Operational current draw of the T-Link is 150 mA.
DC
The T-Link module has a switched negative programmable output (50
mA @ 12 V ). This output can be activated if the T-Link module loses
DC
communication with the receiver OR with the panel.

NOTES: For UL Listed fire Installations, shared on-premises communi-
cation equipment is required to be UL Listed for Information Tech-
nology Equipment.
The communication medium between protected property and com-
munications service provider must be for the exclusive use of the
protected property and not shared with other communications ser-
vice provider subscriber.

Step 10:After all T-Link module programming is complete, you must restart the
module so the programming changes will take effect. To restart the T-Link
module enter the digits [55] in T-Link programming section [999] and
wait 15 seconds for the module to reboot. Once complete, press the [#]
key to exit T-Link programming.
4.2 Programming via the PC5020 control panel
NOTE:PC5020 Rev03 hardware required.
Programming Steps:
Step 1: Program the hex digits [DCAA] in the telephone number that will be
used for T-Link communications (section [301] to [303], 'Telephone
Phone Number Programming').
NOTE: The leading digit [D] in the telephone number for dial tone
detection is already programmed.
Step 2: Program the communication format as SIA FSK format in section
[350] and Auto SIA, option 3 in section [381] has to be OFF .
Step 3: Program the call direction options in section [351] to [376] for the
phone number being used to communicate using T-Link.
Step 4: Section [382] Option 5 'PC-Link Active' option must be ON to enable
T-Link communication.
Step 5: Enter section [851] for T-Link module programming options. NOTE:
Option [5] in Section [382] must be enabled to access this section.
Step 6: Program the static IP address for the T-Link module in section [001].
Step 7: Program the subnet mask for the T-Link module in section [002].
Step 8: Program the static IP address of the receiver (DRL-IP line card or the
PC running The Reporter IP software) in section [003].
Step 9: If the receiver (DRL-IP or The Reporter IP software) is on a different
network segment than the T-Link module, the gateway address asso-
ciated with the T-Link module must be programmed in section [004].
This is an optional step; please discuss with the network administra-
tor if this is required.
Step 10:Program section [020] 'System Status', option 2 'Receiver Supervised'
OFF (disabled). This option should only be enabled when T-Link is being
used for Canadian ULC level 3 installations
Step 11:After all T-Link module programming is complete, you must restart the
module so the programming changes will take effect. To restart the T-Link
module, enter the digits [55] in T-Link programming section [999] and
wait 15 seconds for the module to reboot. Once complete press the [#]
key to exit T-Link programming.
NOTE:The PC5020 T-Link 'Wait for Receiver Acknowledge' default is 20 sec.
(programmed in [167]).
