5. Some of ITI panels don't respond to the default 2225Hz handshake. They need a lot longer handshake duration than what we have in the MX8000 receiver. You don't want to change the default 2225Hz handshake (1st handshake group) because it's optimized for SIA panels. What you should do is to program the 2nd 2225Hz handshake group with a long handshake duration (say 2550 ms).

Section 8 – Automation Communication Formats ADEMCO 8000 Because of the additional features and program capabilities of the MX8000 receiver over its predecessor the 9000 receiver, it was necessary to develop a new automation protocol. ADEMCO 8000 protocol addresses these needs. The following sections describes the three different types of data blocks (system message, heart beat message, and call message) that the ADEMCO 8000 will send to the automation computer, and the components of these data blocks.
MX8000 Installation and Operation Guide 8.4.2.1 Dialer Format The ADEMCO 8000 format takes advantage of additional format numbers and outputs information with greater detail about the dialer format. Table 8–5 lists the dialer format code and indicates the type of dialer associated with that number.
The MX8000 receiver uses the following standards to identify a listen-in account: • First, the receiver searches for an embedded listen-in event in the panel data, depending on whether or not the reporting format supports listen-in.
Bad Data Field Indicator If the data received by the MX8000 is garbled or parts are missing the receiver will send a bad data indicator (<$23> used in the event block as a separator) before the block of corrupted data. A bad data block will contain a hex-ASCII dump of the data in ASCII form.

MX8000 Installation and Operation Guide 8.4.7.4 Common Listen-in Extend/End Request During a listen-in operation if the call requires additional time you can extend the listen-in period by sending an extend request. At the end of a listen-in call you can end the session by sending an end request.
Low Speed 3x1, 4x1, and 4x1 Express Automation Protocols When the MX8000 is operating in the ADEMCO 685 mode and receives a 3x1, 4x1, and 4x1 Express transmission, the output protocol to the computer is as shown in Figure 8–1. Note that when a 3x1 transmission is received, the account number will be padded to 4 characters by the addition of a leading 0 to the account number.

929 Log-off User 8.5.5 MX8000/685 System Messages The MX8000 generates messages to the automation computer for system generated troubles/restores and operator generated troubles/restores while operating using the 685 automation protocol. These messages are listed in Table 8–24. CAPS Automation Protocol The CAPS automation protocol is the same as the 685 except in the case of the 4x2 and 4x2 Express.
Time Adjusted For DST IMPORTANT NOTE: A "Message Queue Full" system message indicates that the MX8000 call event buffer is full and the MX8000 receiver has gone into a "Stop Answering Mode". This has occurred because either the printer or automation system has failed and the MX8000 began logging events internally (eventually filling up its internal buffer).
GROUP NUMBER RECEIVER NUMBER Figure 8–8: CP-220 FBII Superfast Protocol A space will be sent as the zone digit any time that the MX8000 receives a zero or letter a for the zone digit. 8.7.4 CP-220 Contact ID When the MX8000 receives a Contact ID ® (also referred to as Point ID – PID) transmission while operating in the CP-220 mode, the output protocol to the computer is as shown in Figure 8–9.
ALARM DIGITS ACCOUNT NUMBER GROUP NUMBER RECEIVER NUMBER Figure 8–11: CP-220/Silent Knight Format 1 (FSK 1) A space will be sent as the zone digit any time that the MX8000 receives a zero or letter a for the zone digit. 8–23...
MX8000 began logging events internally (eventually filling up its internal buffer). No more calls will be accepted until the MX8000 can free up part of its event buffer to either the printer and/or automation system (depending upon how the system has been configured).
System messages, (indicated when the first byte of the message is $01), are always sent separately. For example, if two line cards have a problem at the same time, the MX8000 will send one message for each line card. Validation Byte (V-Byte) 1 byte.
Long Calls The MX8000 can send up to 70 bytes per message to an automation computer. When event data is more than 70 bytes, the MX8000 breaks up the data into 70-byte chunks ending in a separator $2C, a V-Byte, and the end of message indicator $0D 8–26...
8.8.4 Bad Data When the MX8000 receives data it cannot interpret, it precedes the data with $23. The MX8000 accepts 20 characters of bad data. This allows operators to determine, if possible, the account number of the panel sending the bad data for troubleshooting purposes. Causes for bad data include: Noise on the telephone line and non-matching first and second rounds of data.
All system messages are sent separately. For example, if two line cards have a problem at the same time, the MX8000 will send one message for each LinePort. The V-Byte and a carriage return ($0D) always follow system messages.
• If the computer NACKs the data, the MX8000 will immediately re-send the data. • If the computer NACKs a second time, the MX8000 will generate a computer trouble message. • If the computer does not respond the second time the MX8000 sends the data, the MX8000 will generate a computer trouble message.
MX8000 Installation and Operation Guide 8.9.2.1 Control Panel Type and Zone Attribution Byte Byte 4 (see Table 8–30) of the report record is divided into upper and lower nibbles. The upper nibbles (4 most significant bits) contain the code indicating the panel type.
