2.0 D6600 NetCom Overview
The D6600 NetCom System supports data network
communications. NetCom allows the D6600 Receiver to connect to
various network topologies, specifically Ethernet and Token Ring,
and to process messages both to and from most networks using
TCP/IP protocols. Connection to a data network can be
implemented through the use of the COM4 and/or a COM1
connection from the D6600 Receiver to the D6680 Network
Adapter. Reports from alarm control panels via phone lines OR
Ethernet and Token Ring data networks can be sent to the D6600
Receiver and onto the central station automation software. Alarm
control panels can be monitored on the network for their status.

The D6600 has two COM ports on the
back available for network communication
connections – COM4 and the optional
COM1. The D6600 requires a separate
Radionics D6680 Network Adapter for
each COM port to be used in order to
interface with either a Token Ring or
Ethernet network. Most applications will
not initially require that both COM ports be
used. The Radionics D6680 Network
Adapters are specific to the type of
network and application to which you will
be connecting.

All Alarm Panels to be used with the D6600 NetCom System (from Radionics or other manufacturers) must have
an interface similar in function to the Radionics D6680 Network Adapter to allow for network reporting. One
method of interfacing an Alarm Panel (Radionics or from other manufacturers) to a network is to use the
patented Radionics C900TTL-X Dialer Capture Module/network adapter.*

C900TTL-TR C900 Dialer Intercept Module for
Token Ring network applications
The C900TTL module will work with almost any Alarm
Panel (Radionics or other manufacturer) that uses a
standard digital dialer utilizing one of the following
industry standard formats:
BFSK,
• CONTACT ID,
• ADEMCO HIGH SPEED,
Table 4: C900TTL Part Numbers
• 4 + 2 EXPRESS,
• All Radionics MODEM formats,
• All pulsed formats such as 4+2, 3+1, etc.
The C900TTL accomplishes this through dial tone and handshake simulations. The C900TTL “intercepts” the
Alarm Panel’s signals and transmits them across the network to a network-enabled D6600. The Radionics
C900TTL Dialer Capture Modules are specific to the type of network and application to which you will be
connecting.
