Serial and Parallel Gateway Module

Serial and parallel gateway modulesallow you to connect virtually any standard PC-compatible printer to a Silent Knight® Series fire alarm control panel (FACP) and to generate reports on site. You can print a log of real-time events and generate user-friendly reports of event history and detector status. Locate printers strategically throughout the installationdue to multiple serial and parallel gateway modules. These modulesalso provide the gateway interface for communicating to other systems, such as a building control system. The gateway protocol is a data stream produced by the FACP that can be used to display system events on a PC monitor. The protocol allows a building-control system to handle events and to silence or reset the FACP. The gateway protocol can be used to interface with CAD graphics.
