FAQ

Q:What is Integlex FACP Driver?A: The Integlex FACP protocol driver can be used to connect to suitably enabled Integlex FACP panels fromNohmi Bosai Ltd.  The Integlex driver is a passive client driver intended for connection to the serial port of an Integlex FireAlarm Control Panel (FACP). A passive client driver waits for messages to be sent to it (by the panel). Thedriver cannot send messages to the panel and hence it cannot request the state of any point in thepanel.  The driver can process alarm and trouble events, system troubles and some other messages from thepanel.The driver can only be used as a client. Minimal server functionality is provided only to support ourongoing quality assurance program by facilitating automated testing of the driver. Server operation isnot documented or supported… Q:How to configure FieldServer as a Integlex Passive Client?A:For a detailed discussion on FieldServer configuration, please refer to the FieldServer ConfigurationManual. The information that follows describes how to expand upon the factory defaults provided in theconfiguration files included with the FieldServer (See ".csv" sample files provided with the FS).This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the FieldServer tocommunicate with an Integlex system.  The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In orderto enable the FieldServer for Integlex monitoring, the driver independent FieldServer buffers need to bedeclared in the "Data Arrays" section, the destination device addresses need to be declared in the"Client Side Nodes" section, and the data required from the servers needs to be mapped in the "ClientSide Map Descriptors" section. Details on how to do this can be found below.  Note that in the tables, * indicates an optional parameter, with the bold legal value being the default… Q:What is MultiState Data?A:The driver presents a system for building a MultiState value for device / module states.If a device is in an alarm state, the driver provides a number whose value reports the mostimportant / serious of the possible active states. For example, if a device is in Alert and AlarmStates simultaneously then the driver will report the Alarm state since it is considered a higherpriority.  If a device is a trouble state, then the driver provides a number whose value reports whichtrouble state is active (if only one state is active) or which reports that multiple states are activewhen more than one trouble is active…Q:What are Unsupported Features?A:Any functionality not specifically specified as supported above can be regarded as excluded. Inparticular:

• Panel configuration messages such as those detailed in sections 8 and 9 of the Integlexspecification are excluded.
• Legacy messages such as those directed at the LaserCOMPACT device are excluded
• Zone status' are excluded since there are no direct messages coming from the panel thatindicate the status of the specific zones.
