Configuration consists of a series of steps that need to be followed in sequence.
The following table summarizes the configuration process for the DSC PowerSeries intrusion panel integration.
| Phase | Description | See |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ensure that the DB9 "straight-through" serial cable that connects the intrusion panel to the Security Center system is connected to the Security Center server hosting the Intrusion Manager role. | DSC_IT-100_Installation_Manual.pdf |
| 2 | Read all the required information, and perform all the required tasks before integrating the DSC PowerSeries intrusion panel in Security Center. | Preparing to integrate DSC PowerSeries intrusion panels |
| 3 | Read all the required information, and perform all the required tasks before integrating the DSC PowerSeries intrusion panel in Security Center. | Preparing to integrate DSC PowerSeries intrusion panels |
| 4 | Configure the inputs, outputs, and partitions on your DSC PowerSeries intrusion panel. | DSC PowerSeries documentation |
| 5 | Set up communication between the Security Center server and the DSC PowerSeries intrusion panel using IP network or RS-232 communication. | Preparing to integrate DSC PowerSeries intrusion panels |
| 6 | Create the Intrusion Manager role in Security Center to manage the intrusion detection unit. | Creating the Intrusion Manager role for DSC PowerSeries intrusion panel integration |
| 7 | Create the DSC PowerSeries intrusion panel as an intrusion detection unit in Security Center. | Creating the intrusion detection unit for DSC PowerSeries intrusion panel integration |
| 8 | Configure the intrusion detection unit basic properties (for example, activating the inputs, outputs, and intrusion detection areas to monitor). | Configuring properties for DSC PowerSeries intrusion panel intrusion detection units |
| 9 | (Optional) Map intrusion detection areas to cameras to view video associated to intrusion events in Security Desk. | Mapping intrusion detection areas to cameras |
| 10 | (Optional) Create events-to-actions for DSC PowerSeries intrusion panel events received in Security Center to trigger actions. | Mapping intrusion panel events to Security Center actions |
