The Panel-to-PC Link

Each panel connects through an I P

connection, a physical cable, or via dia l up

access using standard modems.

Any workstation associated w ith your VEREX

Director system can be used for panel

communications. This requires:

• A proper physical connection (cable or

modems);

• Settings as required for MS Windows and

this software;

• The VEREX Director communications

component being installed (and running) on

each applicable PC.

Note: With smaller sites (Single-panel / 300 users),

remote management is also supported through the

built-in dialler (Bell 103, 300 baud modem) on each

panel.

IP Connections:

With I P con nections ( ≥ v3.3 soft ware), a

"Panel Group " can inclu de any

1-30 p anels

within an a ccount--whether they share the

same connect ion or not. I n this case, panel

groups will t ypically be s et up based on

geographic location, or network characteristics.

The VEREX Director software w ill be ab le to

communicate with any number of panels within

the group using only one port (IP Devic e) on

the specific PC.

Setting up an IP Connection: This is documented

separately. For details, refer to the installation guide

provided with the IP interface (may also be in PDF

format on your Director CD).

Settings Required for Panel

Communications

Various items must be set correctly to allow

panel comm unications (in cluding the panel

version). To set up an initial panel connec tion,

refer to "New Installation? Try the Wizard!", or

"Panel Connection Overview".

The Communications Software

All panel com munications are handled through

the communic ations soft ware that is inclu ded

with VEREX Director. Beginning w ith v4.7, the

communications softw are is installed as a

service--that starts automatically when th e PC

and Windows operating system is started up.

Ensure the Communications Software is

Running on the Specific PC(s)

At each PC associated with the specif ic panel

connection(s), check t o ensure th e

communications service is running:

Detail: If the LCD/Telephone icon on the Windows

taskbar is black-and-white (colour = running), start the

communications service by right-clicking the icon, and

selecting "Start Communications".
