5. Receivers
Follow the instructions for setting up receivers below. For additional information, refer to the receiver
manual.
5.1. Radionics D6500/D6600 Receiver
These receivers are configurable for two output formats: SIA and 6500. Each of these modes handles the
default and SIA event code templates stored in the database differently. Therefore, an event that is generated
in 6500 mode would be reported in Alarm Monitoring differently than an event in SIA mode.
A NULL modem cable is required to connect a host computer to the D6500 receiver. The D6500 receiver is
programmed using the Radionics keypad. For more information, refer to the manufacturer manual.
The D6600 receiver connects via COM 3 on the back of the unit.
Note: For a list of supported protocols, refer to the Radionics documentation.
5.1.1 D6500 Firmware Requirements
The Radionics D6500 requires a minimum firmware, based on the Main Processing Unit (MPU).
In order to determine the MPU number and firmware version, perform the following procedure:
1. Disconnect the backup battery in the receiver.
2. Turn the receiver power off.
3. Wait 10 seconds.
4. Turn the receiver back on.
5. The LCD will display the line card, MPU, printer version, and firmware version.
D6500 receivers with a firmware that is lower than what is specified are not supported. If you attempt to
connect a receiver not meeting these specified requirements, the receiver will fail to come online in Alarm
Monitoring.
