1. Introduction
The D6500 Receiver processes incoming phone calls (with one or more messages in each phone call) from
various types of digital alarm communicators simultaneously on up to eight individual phone lines. The receiver
presents these messages using the D6500 LCD display, buzzer and internal printer. The messages can also be
sent to a computer or external printer. The D6500 can supervise the response from the computer and can alert
an operator to a message that the computer did not accept. The D6500 can be programmed to display each
message as it is received, or wait until all of the messages in the incoming call are completed to begin
presenting them.
The D6500 cable "pinouts" are controlled with a set of jumper pins and plugs on the D6515 MPU Terminator
Card (see Figure 1, section 3.1). RS-232 protocol and additional controls are set in the D6500 MPU program.
These can be easily changed with the D5200 Programmer loaded with the 6500 Product Handler program.
The D6500 will respond in different ways to the received messages, depending on how the available options
are selected in the D6500 MPU program. The messages and the responses are described in this manual.
2. How It Works
A message is received from a digital communicator (or other compatible device). As each part of the message
is received and accepted, the D6500 Line Card sends the communicator an "ACK TONE" (acknowledgment
signal) telling the communicator that the message was received. This message is given to the MPU which then
decides what to do with the message (depending on how the MPU is programmed). Typically, the choices are:
1. Display the message on the D6500 LCD display and print the message on the D6500 Internal
Printer and/or External Printer.
2. Send the message to the computer via the RS-232 port.
3. Both of the above.
Most of the other choices in the D6500 Program describe HOW to send the messages to the computer or what
to do if the computer is not able to accept a message.
IMPORTANT
The D6500 can output and display messages in the D6500 and the SIA modes only. All references to the
D6000 Mode have been removed and are no longer supported in the D6500 receiver.

3. Making the Right Connections
There are a number of programming options in the D6500 MPU program that affect the output of the D6500 to
an automation system. This section will serve as an addendum to the
D6500 Program Entry Guide (74-07253-
000)
and the
D6500 Operation and Installation Manual (74-04651-000).
3.1 Setting the Jumpers on the D6515 MPU Terminator
WARNING!
Before adjusting any jumpers, make sure the D6500 Receiver is powered down as
described in the
D6500 Security Receiver Operation and Installation Manual.
The D6515 MPU Terminator Card can be accessed from the back of the D6500 Receiver. The J3 Configuration
Jumper on the MPU Terminator Card can be configured in two different ways (see Figure 1). Mode 1 uses RTS,
CTS, DSR and DTR protocols and can be used with either Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) or Data
Communication Equipment (DCE). In a Mode 1 configuration the automation system must first give permission
before data is sent. In Mode 2 the automation computer is always ready to accept data.

3.2 Selecting the Program Options in the D6500 MPU Program
Use the 6500:MPU Product Handler to program the D6500 Receiver. Program options allow the D6500 to send
reports to the automation system in D6500 or SIA message format. Below are the most common and
recommended selections for programming the 6500:MPU Handler when connecting the D6500 Receiver to an
automation system. Additional selections can be found in the D6500 Program Entry Guide.
Global Parameters
Receiver Number
(Receiver Number) selects a number (ØØ to 99) that will appear in the receiver LCD
display and print on the receiver's internal printer (40 Character Mode) for internally
generated messages. The Receiver number is included in every message to the
computer in both D6500 and SIA modes.
Armed Status
(Armed Status) (Yes or No) is normally set to No. When programmed Yes, the
arming status of the D4112 and D6112 panels is displayed with transmitted test
reports.
Auto Ack
(Auto Ack) (Yes or No) should be set to Yes when using a computer. Yes puts the
D6500 in "automatic" mode, allowing it to process signals without any operator
interaction. If this item is No the D6500 is in "MANUAL" mode, requiring two presses
of the SLNC button after each signal is received before the receiver will proceed to
the next message (one to silence the buzzer and one to clear the display). The
buzzer re-starts about 45 seconds after the SLNC button is pressed once (if the
display has not been cleared with a second press).
Buzz In Auto
(Buzz in Auto) (Yes or No) should be set to Yes when using a computer (see the
D6500 Program Entry Guide).
Buzz Alarm
(Buzz Alarm) (Yes or No) is normally set to No. When programmed Yes, the
Operator Alert buzzer will not sound upon receipt of non-alarm events (i.e., trouble,
restoral, open/close, etc.). see also
Buzz In Auto
Busy Second Rpts
(Busy Second Reports) must be programmed Yes for monitoring UL Certified
accounts.
Call Blocking
(Call Blocking) (Yes or No). Radionics recommends Yes to group all messages
from a call before presenting them. A blank line is inserted by the internal printer
after the last message in the call. When
Call Blocking
is set to No, no blank line
appears after the last message.
Point/User Text
(Point/User Text) is normally set to Yes. When programmed No, the D6500 will
delete Point Text and user Text information from all output devices even if it is sent
from the control panel.
Time Set Enable
(Time Set Enable) (Yes or No). Radionics recommends Yes to allow date and time
setting from the front panel of the D6500.
Time Set Report
(Time Set Report) (Yes or No), if No setting time and date will not report to either
the receiver display, receiver printer or any of the RS-232 outputs from the receiver.
Power Supv Rpts
(Power Supervision Reports) (Yes or No). Radionics recommends Yes to allow
power loss and power restoral reports.

= the identifier for the telephone rotary group (G1, G2, G3,
etc.) appears in positions 13 and 14 of the internal printer reports. No = The
transmission format identifier (pulse, BFSK, modem, etc.) and line card number
appears in reports.
"B" if
Group Reporting
is programmed No, and the transmission format is BFSK.
"L" if
Group Reporting
is programmed No, and the transmission format is Pulsed.
"L" if
Group Reporting
is programmed Yes or No, and Internal Line Card
Information is processed (e.g.: Busy Seconds, LC Boot Up, and card
Trouble/Restored).
"M" if
Group Reporting
is programmed No, and the transmission format is Modem
II.
"G" if
Group Reporting
is programmed Yes, and any transmission format is

BFSK Fire Bit
(Automation Fire - BFSK) (Yes or No) Set to Yes if the automation system supports
the D6500 mode Fire event codes (sF – Fire Alarm, Gs – Fire Trouble, and Hs –
Fire Restoral) when monitoring in BFSK. See the
D6500 Program Entry Guide
for
more information.
ModemIIe Fire Bit
(Automation Fire - Modem IIe/IIIa2) (Yes or No) is normally set to Yes. Fire Events
are sent to Automation systems as Fire Event codes. When programmed No, Fire
Events are sent to Automation systems as Burglary/Alarm Events. See the
D6500
Program Entry Guide
for more information.
SIA Fire Rest.
(Modem IIe/IIIa2) (Yes or No) is normally set to Yes. All Radionics
control/communicators using the Modem IIe/IIIA2 format differentiate between
Fire
Restoral after Alarm
and
Fire Restoral after Trouble/Missing/Supervisory
in the
message that is sent to the D6500 Receiver. SIA Automation Output Mode can also
differentiate between these two message types, or it can combine them into a
common
Fire Restoral
message. See the
D6500 Program Entry Guide
for more
information.
Comp Confg
(Computer Configuration) determines how the "bits" are set in the data sent out of
the RS-232 port of the D6500, usually 7,P,2 (7 data bits, parity, 2 stop bits). Set
CompConfg
to 8,N,1 (78data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit) for ABM automation
systems when
Output Format
is set for SIA communications.
Comp Parity
(Computer Parity) determines how the parity "bits" are set in the data sent out of the
RS-232 port of the D6500, usually Odd parity. Set
CompParity
to Ø Fixed for ABM
automation systems when
Output Format
is set for SIA communications.
Baud Rate
(Computer Baud Rate) determines the serial data transmission rate (BPS) of the
D6500, usually 1200 baud. Set
Comp Parity
to 9600 for ABM automation systems
when
Output Format
is set for SIA communications.
Handshake
(Handshake) usually an ACK type handshake from computer. NOTE: This program
item has no effect if
Output Format
is set to Ø SIA communications mode.
Ack Character
(Acknowledge Character) usually a 6(ACK). Do not program ACK as a blank or ØØ.
This will result in "all" characters acting as an acknowledge for transmitted data.
Nack Character
(Not Acknowledge Character) usually a 15 (NACK).

D6500 Computer Interface Manual
74-05313-000-G 10/16/97 Page 6 © 1988-1997 Radionics, Inc.
Trailer Character
(Trailer Character) sent at the end of D6500 Mode messages, usually a 14.
Automation Wait
(Automation Acknowledgment Wait Time) (0 to 255 seconds) is normally 7
seconds. If the Automation Acknowledgment message is not received by the end of
this time interval, the D6500 will generate a Computer trouble message and activate
its buzzer.
6500 Header Char
(Header Character) This character is sent in front of every standard D6500 Mode
message (normally 21 characters long) and makes the message 22 characters long.
Input Commands
(Input Commands) (Yes or No) is usually No for Automation systems
communicating in SIA mode and Yes for Automation systems communicating in
D6500 mode. See the
D6500 Program Entry Guide
for more information.
Link test
(Link Test) (Yes or No) is usually No to disable/reject Link Tests. Set to Yes to
initiate/accept a Link Test to/from the Automation system.
Packet Sep.(/)
This prompt enables the final packet separator (/) (in SIA output mode) when
messages with event modifiers are sent to automation. Usually set to No.
Sub Subscriber
This is a programmable, Modem Format only, item that determines whether the
specific access control card or token number identifier (sub user) is additionally sent
to the SIA automation output. Usually set to No.
3.3 Other Important MPU Program Options
Operation of the buzzer, the internal printer, the external printer, and the RS-232 output depends on the
configuration of these devices: "Always Off, Primary, Secondary or Always On". Operation also depends on
whether the D6500 is in the Manual or Automatic mode.
