Central Station Automation System

If using a Bosch Security Systems, Inc. receiver, connect a central station automation system
computer to the COM3 port (automation computer port) on the rear of the receiver with a
null-modem cable. Refer to the D6600/D6100IPv6 Computer Interface Manual (P/N:
4998122703) for additional information.
Standard automation reporting usually sends RS-232 serial data from the receiver COM3 port
to a COM port of a separate automation PC (refer to COM3 Automation Configuration in the
D6600/D6100IPv6 Program Entry Guide (P/N: 4998122702). With no additional programming
required at the network device servers such as the D6680s/D6682, you can use the same
serial communication across a network connection by using D6680s at both ends of the
automation communication path. The D6600 still sends the standard serial data, but the
network device servers create a "serial tunnel" and communicate with each other, convert data
back to the standard RS-232 that the automation computer can interpret, and transmit data
over the network.
Notice!
Some messages might remain unacknowledged (NACK) because of increased network activi-
i
ties. This forces the D6600 to send these messages again. Refer to Network Communications,
page 42 for complete details on network communications and programming.
