DSC PowerSeries intrusion panel are integrated to Security Center using the Intrusion Manager role.
The Intrusion Manager role receives events from the panel over a serial connection, reports them live in Security Desk, and logs them in a database for future reporting. The role also relays user commands to the panel (such as arming and disarming the intrusion detection areas), and triggers the outputs connected to the panel through event-to-actions (for example, an Intrusion detection area master armed event in Security Center can trigger an output on the panel).
