Security Center for centralized monitoring, control, and reporting.
The integration allows you to do the following:
•Map Galaxy Dimension control panels to Security Center intrusion detection units.
•Map groups of inputs and devices on the control panel to Security Center intrusion
detection areas.
•Attach cameras to intrusion detection areas to view recorded video associated with events
and alarms from the panel.
•Monitor the connection between the Security Center server and the Galaxy Dimension
control panel using the heartbeat monitoring feature.
•Create event-to-actions for events that are sent from the control panel.
•Create custom events that can be used in event-to-action configuration.
•Receive events and alarms from the control panel, and monitor them in Security Desk. For
more information about monitoring intrusion detection events in Security Desk, see
“Monitoring events” and “Monitoring alarms” in the Security Desk User Guide.
•Monitor intrusion detection area state changes in real-time in Security Desk. For more
information about monitoring intrusion detection areas, see “Monitoring events” in the
Security Desk User Guide.
•Receive live notifications on input state changes in Security Desk. For more information
about monitoring intrusion detection units, see “Monitoring events” in the Security Desk

EN.550.007-V5.2.C4(3) | Last updated: March 11, 2014
How Galaxy Dimension control panel integration works
Honeywell Galaxy Dimension series control panels are integrated to Security Center using the
Intrusion Manager role. The Intrusion Manager role receives events from the control panel over
an IP network, reports them live in Security Desk, and logs them in a database for future
reporting. The role also relays user commands to the control panel (such as arming and
disarming the intrusion detection areas), and triggers the outputs connected to the panel
through event-to-actions (for example, an Intrusion detection area master armed event in
Security Center can trigger an output on the panel).

Preconfiguration checklist
This section explains the things you must know and do before integrating the Galaxy Dimension
series control panel in Security Center, and before configuring Security Center intrusion
entities.
•"Read the release notes" on page 15
•"Make sure you have the proper license" on page 15
•"Secure your network" on page 15
•"Configure the control panel for RS-232 communication" on page 15
•"Configure the control panel for IP communication" on page 17
Read the release notes
Read the release notes for any known issues and other information about this release. See
"Release Notes" on page 5.
Make sure you have the proper license
To use Galaxy Dimension control panels in Security Center, your license must include the
correct “Number of Intrusion detection units” you want to control. For more information about
licensing, see "Technical support" on page 46.
Secure your network
Best practice: It is recommended that the Galaxy Dimension control panel and the Security
Center Intrusion role run on a secure network.
Configure the control panel for RS-232 communication
If your Security Center server is in a remote location, and you want to communicate with the
local Galaxy Dimension control panel using RS-232 serial communication, the onboard RS-232
communication port must be configured on the panel.
For more information about configuring the RS232 communication port settings on the control
panel, see “56.6 - Int RS232 Port” in the Honeywell Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual.
NOTE If you are using IP communication, you do not need to perform these steps. Skip to
"Configure the control panel for IP communication" on page 17.
Before you begin: Install a Serial to IP adapter.
1Using a keypad on your control panel, set the communication Mode as Direct.
The Direct communication mode allows the panel and the Security Center computer to
interface using an RS-232 cable.
