1.3 How System Galaxy communicates with the Alarm Panel
System Galaxy uses GCS Services to communicate with the Alarm Panel.
• Go to the next section for an overview of the GCS Services;
SG monitors the condition of the alarm points (alarm conditions):
1. SG10.2 (or later) requests the real-time status updates
from the Bosch Panel 1-2 seconds.
In older versions of SG, the Bosch panel sent the status updates at the rate set in the panel.
2. The real-time updates
include the following:
the status of all alarm points (secure/on or unsecure/off)
the status of all areas (arm/disarm)
panel-level alarms such as low battery and AC failure
3. Alarm panel status messages are logged at the SG Alarm Panel Event Screen, the SG Alarm
screen if configured to do so, the device status screen and the graphics/floor plan.
4. The Alarm History Report is available in SG for logging of “online” status messages. “Online”
status messages are defined as the alarm panel events that occur while the panel was
connected and communicating with System Galaxy.
5. The Bosch panel does not send “off-line” status messages to SG upon reconnect. Offline
messages are defined as alarm panel events that occurred while the panel was disconnected
from System Galaxy.
SG Operators have the ability to send commands to the alarm panel:
1. arm and disarm entire panel
2. arm and disarm individual areas
3. bypass or un-bypass individual alarm points (enable/disable the point)
SG allows you to configure “user codes” and download them to the panel.
The user code
includes the passcode and authority levels for all areas.
