| Feature or functionality | DMP control panel extension 5.8 and earlier | DMP intrusion panel extension 4.0 and later |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | When users install Security Center, the extension is included. | User downloads and installs the extension on a pre-existing Security Center server. |
| Panel remote session | A panel supports a single remote connection at one time.1 | |
| Remote connection | Security Center remains connected to
the panel at all times. To configure a panel using a remote configuration application, like Remote Link, you must deactivate the intrusion detection unit in Security Center. Then, make your changes, disconnect Remote Link, and then reactivate the unit. |
Security Center only
connects to the panel when required, and then releases the connection, unless the
Integrator or Entré connection is used. When either of these connections is used,
you can configure the connection to stay open. When a remote configuration application, like Remote Link, is connected to the panel, Security Center receives events from the panel, but cannot synchronize with or configure the panel. If Security Center tries to connect to the panel, but cannot, it puts the intrusion detection unit offline (red). |
| Scalability and performance | Supports 10 panels with a combined total of 890 entities per Intrusion Manager role. | Supports 300 panels with a combined total of 90,000 entities per Intrusion Manager role. |
| Modification of input behavior | To change the behavior of an input, from the intrusion detection unit's Peripherals tab, disable the Real-time status option, and then change the Contact type. | To change the behavior of an input, configure the input to raise a Trouble event. |
