Networx
NetworX is a multi-area security system. The integration with HSYCO can be accomplished via direct control through their serial or ethernet interfaces.
Communication
RS-232 parameters:
| Baud rate | same as configured on panel (default 9600) |
| Data bits | 8 |
| Stop bit | 1 |
| Parity | none |
| Flow control | none |
Networx Configuration
The panel must be previously configured to have the serial port enabled and to use the binary control protocol. Refer to its configuration manual for more details.
HSYCO Configuration
Add a Networx I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:
Communication
- Comm ID: select the comm port connected to the panel.
High Availability
- Shutdown when inactive: defaults to true.
Options
| ID | Default | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| pin | <code> | 4 or 6-digits code. Use the specified PIN code to perform operations that require user authentication. If this option is not specified it will be required to manually insert the pin every time such operations are performed | |
| gui | true | true | enable support for the UI object, UISET actions and USER commands |
| false | disable UI support | ||
| startupevents | false | true | generate IO events also during the driver’s start-up phase |
| false | start generating events only after HSYCO is aligned with the current status of the system | ||
| pollinterval | 3 | n > 0 | the data acquisition interval, in seconds |
| logsize | 20 | n ≥ 0 | the number of log lines to display in the UI object |
| maxzone | 168 | n > 0 | highest zone number among the zones used on the panel |
networx.ini
The networx.ini file is a specific configuration file located in the root directory. Here you can define the names of the users, zones and partitions so that they will be automatically added to the user interface. Add a new line for each entry using this format:
<io_server_id>.user.<n> = <user_name>
<io_server_id>.z.<n> = <zone_name>
<io_server_id>.p.<n> = <partition_name>
For instance:
nx.user.1 = Bob
nx.user.2 = Alice
nx.z.1 = Door
nx.z.2 = Window
nx.p.1 = Open space
If not specified in the networx.ini file, zone names will be retrieved from the Networx panel during the initialization phase, which will result in a longer time for the I/O Server to go online.

note
To perform this operation it is necessary to enter the user code first. To enter the user code through the user interface use user buttons to create a virtual keypad and assign them name and param values according to this table:
| Name | Param | Action |
|---|---|---|
| digit | {0 ... 9} | append the specified digit to the entered user code |
| c | delete the last entered digit |
To visualize the number of entered digits use 4 or 6 text objects (depending on the number of digits used for user codes) and set their IDs to:
| ID | Description |
|---|---|
| pin.<n> (0 ≤ <n> ≤ 5) | shows the character '*' when the corresponding digit has been entered, shows '_' otherwise |
The entered code will be cleared after a short period of inactivity.
Networx UI Object
The user interface for the Networx multi-area intrusion detection system:
The Networx object is listed in the Project Editor’s new object list only when at least one Networx I/O Server is defined.
Parameters
- server id: the server ID.
- position: the object's position. Use the pixels or rows and columns coordinates format
Log Files
A permanent record of all the log messages, also shown in the log page, is saved in a file called security.log in the logs/YYYY directory for the current year.
