2006/06/13 DNA300 OPERATIONS MANUAL 5 INTRODUCTION A serial RS232 device can be interfaced to the Crisis Alert Network for the purpose of handling incoming and outgoing calls assosiated with one of the Crisis Alert master stations. Examples of other display devices would be graphics annunciator panels, touch screen annunciators, or any other graphical user interfaces not made by Ring Communications, Inc. One DNA300 is required to interface each external device to the network.
DNA300 OPERATIONS MANUAL 6 2006/06/13 J1 - 8 pin (RJ45) Network connections : Two modular jacks are provided at the rear of the DNA300. Use modular cables with straight through pin configuration only! An 8-pin (RJ45) modular jack (KB171) and cord (BF640A) are required for connection to the network. PIN# - DESIGNATION 1 - No connection. 2 - +12 VDC power input 3 - Data + (positive) 4 - No connection. 5 - No connection. 6 - Data - (negative) 7 - -12 VDC power input 8 - External Alarm.
2006/06/13 DNA300 OPERATIONS MANUAL 7 J3 - 6 pin (RJ11) RS422 signals : A two twisted pair installation utilizing RS422 signals can be used to connect two devices up to 7000 feet apart. Use a six wire RJ11 cord with straight through wiring from J3 to another RJ11 jack on both sides of the installation, and then use two twisted pairs between the two RJ11 jacks. A strap MUST be installed between RTS and CTS of J2 (DB9), in order to disable flow control for the RS422.
DNA300 OPERATIONS MANUAL 8 2006/06/13 FRONT PANEL SWITCHES AND INDICATORS SWITCHES SW1 Reset. Creates a local reset for this node only. SW2 Node & Network Address SW3 RS232 Baud Rate, Device selection L.E.D.’s (left side, network) RUN -Indicates the local processor in the DNA300 is running. Will illuminate after power up or reset. MASTER - Will light steady if this node is the master on the network. There can only be one master on each network.
2006/06/13 DNA300 OPERATIONS MANUAL 9 INPUT OUTPUT INTERFACE Set the DIP switches so that SW3-7 is OFF and SW3-8 is OFF to activate the I/O software . COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL The device receiving from the DNA300 must be setup in the following matter: The interface is using RS232 between the baud rates of 1200-19200 bps (see SETTING BAUD RATE/DEVICE TYPE SELECT earlier in this chapter). Hardware flow control (RTS/CTS). Configurable Parity, Data and Stop bits.
DNA300 OPERATIONS MANUAL The message format is in the following format for input messages to the DNA300: | STX | EVENT | RS | BUTTON ADDRESS | ETX | BCC | Events: I (hex 49) = INITIALIZE (hex string: 02 49 03 48) D (hex 44) = DIAL (accept call in que or dial a station) O (hex 4F) = OUTPUT (remote control) P (hex 50) = PARK X (hex 58) = CANCEL A (hex 41) = ACCEPT (same as DIAL) Note: Only the DIAL event needs RS | BUTTON ADDRESS in the message.
2006/06/13 DNA300 OPERATIONS MANUAL 11 CONFIGURATION One DNA100 is used as a programming interface to the DNA300. The DNA100 has one RS232 port for connection to a PC running PROCOM+. The DNA100 sets up a link between the PC and the DNA300. The Configuration is done from the PC and the information is stored in battery RAM in the DNA300. When the system is first installed the RAM must be reset before the system is configured (described earlier in this section).
DNA300 OPERATIONS MANUAL 12 ERROR HANDLING Misspelled command input will give the following error message: Unknown Command Parameter errors will print ERROR: and then prompt for the parameter again. HELP HELP COMMANDS Help lists all help commands in the Configuration program. Type HELP, H or ?.
2006/06/13 DNA300 OPERATIONS MANUAL SERIAL PORT Set Parity, Data bits, Stop bits for serial port. PROGRAMMING The following commands are used for this feature.
DNA300 OPERATIONS MANUAL 14 2006/06/13 CALL NUMBERS All intercom stations are assigned call numbers in the Ring intercom central exchange. The DNA300 interface assigns a Push Button Address to each of the intercom call number for the external device. This assignment is stored in the DNA300 and may be listed with the command LCN from the PC connected to the DNA100. The call number may be 2,3 or 4 digit decimal. The Push Button address may be 1,2 3 or 4 digit HEX.

DNA300 OPERATIONS MANUAL 2006/06/13 BACKUP Backup generates all programming commands required to resetore the configuration of the DNA300. These commands may be downloaded and stored in a file on the PC. This file can then be uploaded to restore the configuration of the DNA300 PROGRAMMING The following commands are used for this feature. BAK Backup Example: >BAKcr Call Number <10..
