IC-100 Programmer's Guide - revised September 1999 Page 1 Overview IC-100 security installations often require integration with touch-screen control systems, graphic annunciator panels and camera controllers. TOA offers two options for meeting this requirement: 1. The DI-100 and DI-110 interface products offer a hardware solution-they provide the call LED outputs and select switch inputs required for graphic annunciator panels. They also provide relay outputs for camera switcher integration. Using this off-the-shelf method requires no knowledge of computer programming or serial communication. 2. Integrators using a microprocessor-based product (usually a PC or PLC) as their integrated system's control center, often prefer direct control and monitoring of IC-100 control station activity through the IC-100's integral serial port. Using Remote Control and Monitoring eliminates the need for installing DI-100s and DI-110s and elevates the programmer's level of control. This document targets programmers who need an understanding of how they can remotely control and monitor the IC-100 by communicating through its RS-232 port. The following document sections provide the details: Connecting to the IC-100 Communicating with the IC-100 Using the Remote Dial Command Monitoring Control Station Activity Interpreting DI-100 Call LED Data Appendix A Control Station Display Data Listing Appendix B Extended ASCII Character Codes
