OPTION NUMBER FEATURES
D11-46020-41 Multiple Alarm Processor equipped with B17-46641-00 Firmware.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
T
he 46020-41 Multiple Alarm Processor (MAP) is part of a
Dantel 460 Alarm and Control System. It is a 46020 MAP
with 46641-00 firmware. This chapter describes the features of
the MAP and firmware, and how they work as part of a complete
system.
MAP PORTS
The firmware allows a MAP to operate in several different applica-
tions of a 460 Alarm and Control System. The MAP provides three
different data interface points, and all of them are affected by the
firmware. Here is a brief description of each of the ports:
Master Port
♦Reports alarm data to an alarm center and responds to control
point commands.
The alarm center may be a personal computer or an alarm
system master. For example, it could be an E-System master
the MAP communicates with through a 46033 E-System
Adapter.
♦May also connect to another device as an intermediary point in
reporting data to an alarm center.
This device could be a 46062 General Purpose Processor or
another MAP (using DCP, TBOS or DCPF protocol).
♦Uses TABS protocol to communicate with network elements
and AT&T remotes that use TABS protocol for alarm reporting.
Printer Port
♦Connects to a standard ASCII (VT-100) terminal, with or with-
out a printer,
or
CONTINUED . . .
NOTE:
In order to work, the MAP must
be configured. Configuration de-
fines how the MAP will function,
such as what alarms it will poll
and what control points it will op-
erate. The Printer Syntax in this
manual cannot be used for config-
uring the system.
To configure, use T/Shell software
with the MAP 41 Editor Module
and an IBM-compatible computer.
Refer to the software manual for
complete instructions.
UPDATED

46020-41-1299<90-00065> PAGE 3
♦Connects to Dantels 46001 Status Monitor.
You can use the terminal or status monitor for local alarm
reporting. The terminal also can operate controls.
♦May also operate as a master port (when youre using TABS,
TBOS, DCP, or DCPF protocol on it).
♦Works with T/Shell software to configure MAP memory.
Data Port
♦Can process up to 128 displays (8,192 points) of alarms and
controls. There can be any combination of alarm and control
displays; for example, 96 displays of alarms and 32 displays
of controls.
These may be discrete alarm points connected to 46009 or
46010 Multiple Alarm Transmitters (MATs) and control points
wired to 46028 or 46029 Control Point Modules (CPMs).
♦The MATs and CPMs also may be connected to SLC 96 and
Series 5 equipment.
Refer to Fig. 1. You can wire the Smart Block, using DCM
protocol, to multiple bays of SLC 96 devices. (Only one bay is
shown in Fig. 1.)
The Multiple Alarm Combiner (46023-14 Smart MAC) and the
46020 Multiple Alarm Processor (MAP) work specifically with
SLC 96 and Series 5 devices.
♦Can also communicate with alarm and control points through
TBOS serial equipment.
♦Uses TABS protocol to communicate with network elements
and AT&T remotes that use TABS for alarm reporting.
♦Can connect to another MAP (using TBOS, DCP, or DCPF
protocol) that communicates with the alarm and control points.
♦Is called the MAP port when it is connected to a 46023-14
Smart MAC and communicates with DCP or DCPF devices.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
NOTE:
With SLC 96 and Series 5 equip-
ment, use the following CPMs
only: 46028-02, 46028-03, and
46029-02. Only these CPMs allow
downloading the time period for
the alarm cutoff (ACO).
NOTE:
The 46020-41 MAPs Data Port is
usually factory-wired to one or
more 46023-14 Smart Multiple
Alarm Combiners (SMACs). The
SMAC serves to expand the MAPs
single TTL Data Port out to mul-
tiple RS-422 Data Ports. In this
situation, the MAPs port which
communicates with the SMAC is
referred to as the MAP Port 
the Data Port having been relo-
cated to the outputs of the SMAC.

DATA CAPACITY
Master and Printer Ports
The MAP can handle 8,192 alarm and control points (128 displays)
except when you use TBOS protocol.
When TBOS is used on the master and printer ports, the amount
of alarm data the MAP can address is limited. TBOS is limited to
eight displays of alarms and controls on the master port and an
additional eight displays of alarms and controls on the printer port
(a total of 16 displays).

46020-41-1299<90-00065> PAGE 7
Data Port
With TABS, DCP, or DCPF protocols on the master and/or
printer ports, the data port can communicate with up to 8,192
alarm and control points. See Fig. 2 for an illustration of these
protocols.
If TBOS is used on the master port, the data port is limited to 512
alarm and 512 control points (eight displays).
If TBOS is used on both master and printer ports, the data port
can communicate with up to 1,024 alarm and 1,024 control points.
See Fig. 5 for an illustration of TBOS on master and printer ports.

PROTOCOLS
There are four communications protocols available for the master
port, four for the printer port (plus a printer syntax using ASCII
format), and five for the data port. Refer to Fig. 2.
MASTER AND PRINTER PORTS
TABS
This protocol is used to communicate with network elements and
AT&T remotes that use this protocol for alarm reporting.
DCP
This protocol is used when the MAP interfaces another MAP, a
personal computer, or an external alarm master (such as an
E-System master interfaced through an E-System Adapter).
CONTINUED . . .
GENERAL DESCRIPTION

PAGE 8 46020-41-1299<90-00065>
DCPF
This is a modified DCP protocol with improved error detection. It
is used when the MAP interfaces another MAP, a General Purpose
Processor, or a Status Monitor.
TBOS
This protocol is used when the MAP interfaces a TBOS serial port,
such as on an E2A remote or on the data port of another MAP
(refer to Fig. 3).
Printer
This syntax establishes the coding for the printer port to interface
a standard ASCII (VT-100) terminal. The Printer Syntax chapter
contains the user commands for operating the terminal.
DATA PORT
TABS
This protocol is used to communicate with network elements and
AT&T remotes that use this protocol for alarm reporting.
TBOS
This allows the MAP to communicate with TBOS serial equip-
ment. This can be another MAP as shown in Fig. 3.
DCM
This protocol communicates with discrete points only. The MAP
interrogates MATs (Multiple Alarm Transmitters) for alarm data
and operates control points on CPMs (Control Point Modules).
The MATs and CPMs also can interface SLC 96 and Series 5
equipment as shown in Fig. 1.
DCP
This protocol communicates with another MAP using DCP proto-
col (similar to the TBOS example shown in Fig. 3).
DCPF
This protocol communicates with another MAP using DCPF
protocol (similar to the example shown in Fig. 3).
NOTE:
DCP and DCPF are unavailable
for use by the Data Port when us-
ing a 46023-14 Smart MAC.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION

46020-41-1299<90-00065> PAGE 9
INTERFACES
Master Port
The master port requires a subassembly to be mounted on the
MAP in order to provide the proper interface to other equipment.
When TBOS or TABS is used on the master port, the most com-
mon is a 49008 subassembly providing an RS-422 interface. Other
subassemblies are available for special applications.
When DCP or DCPF is used on the master port, the subassembly
is usually a 49009 or 49029 with an RS-232 interface.
Printer Port
The printer port has a built-in RS-232 interface. If you require a
different interface on the printer port, you can add a Dantel 46035
Converter Module with the appropriate subassembly between the
MAP and the other equipment.
Data Port
The data port of the MAP communicates through transistor-
transistor logic (TTL). This means communications cannot extend
beyond the shelf where the MAP is installed. To communicate
beyond the shelf, you must connect the data port to a 46035
Converter Module, 46022 Multiple Alarm Combiner (MAC), or
46023 Smart MAC for conversion to the appropriate data commu-
nications interface.
A 46022-12 MAC or a 46023-14 Smart MAC has eight communica-
tions channels or ports. A 46022-20 MAC has one channel. This
channel, however, can be any communications subassembly such
as a 49013 202 Tone Modem. The data port supports multiple
MACs.
In communicating with alarm and control points, the data port
can use DCM, DCP, DCPF, TABS, or TBOS protocols on any of
the MAC channels. However, only one protocol can be used on any
one channel. The protocol(s) used on the data port do not have to
be the same as those used on the printer and master ports. For
example, DCP could be used on the master port, PRINTER syntax
on the printer port, and DCM and TBOS on the data port.
Transmission Distances
Fig. 6 shows the maximum cable lengths for data transmission
interfaces.
NOTE:
The 46023-14 Smart MAC cannot
be used in parallel with a
46022-12 or 46020-20 MAC
NOTE:
To communicate with SLC 96 or
Series 5 equipment, the MAC(s)
must be a 46023-14 SMAC.

BATTERY BACKUP
The MAP has a battery backup to preserve the system configura-
tion information that has been placed in memory. You can set
switches on the MAP to retain the information in memory, even if
the power to the MAP is interrupted. If you do not set the
switches to retain the memorys contents, configuration informa-
tion is erased when the power is restored. To learn how to set
these switches, refer to the Switch Settings chapter.
RESET
On the front panel of the MAP, there is a recessed reset button.
When you push this button, it executes a complete, or hard, reset.
The effect is the same as removing power from the MAP. When
power is restored later, the information in the MAPs memory is
saved ... only if you have set the switches to retain it (see Battery
Backup paragraph). If you have not set the switches to save the
memory, it will be erased.
The MAP also has a protective (watchdog) circuit. If the soft-
ware encounters a problem and is unable to refresh the protective
circuit, a complete reset automatically occurs after 1.2 seconds.
