Setting up Third Party Alarm Panels in Sonitrol CORE

There are a number of steps to add third party alarm panels to Sonitrol CORE.

Tip: S1000 areas map directly with areas of the third party alarm panel. Doors will only map if a reader is configured on the door from the third party alarm panel. Users will be sent to the PACOM panel if they have 26-bit or 32-bit cards.
The card access database, including role mapping, schedules and calendars, is synchronized from S1000 to the third party panel if it supports card access.
Note: A third party panel can only connect to the S1000 using the isolated PL5 connection.
