General Purpose Interface
216 victor 4.4 Installation and Configuration Guide
The General Purpose Interface can work with any device which uses ASCII code communications
protocol for event monitoring, such as:
The third party device sends pure ASCII messages via a serial port (RS-232) or remotely via a
TCP/IP port (Lantronix or Systech) to the General Purpose Interface Driver.
This means that you can respond to alarms from many types of third party devices as well as the
system video and health alarms described in ‘Events’.
The General Purpose interface supports the following functionality:
• Input - Where the input strings are sent from the device through the
Serial/Network port to victor
• Output - Where the output is an action and requests a response from the device
• Poll - Where the poll is an action which requires a response from the device
Monitoring Points
Monitoring Points are victor data types which change state based on incoming messages from the
device. Monitoring Points can be configured to directly trigger Events.
Events can be designed to activate any victor event action.
