Napco NETLINK DATASHEET

Get security staff on the scene faster with

NetLink online alarm reporting at a standard PC,

plus dramatically reduce T1 phone line costs.

In an emergency every minute counts …

NAPCO NetLink intranet/internet alarm
reporting puts campus, retail or private
security staff directly online with their
security system using their standard PC.
Receiving pinpointed alarm reports as they
happen enables faster dispatches. Plus,
using the internet or their own intranet
instead of phone lines for alarm reporting
can save thousands of dollars in traditional
T1 phone line costs.

• Transform a security office’s standard PC into an onsite monitoring

receiver using campus or retail intranet

• Uniquely, NO dedicated central station receiver required; uses

Napco NetLink CS Software Application – ideal in a guard station

• Saves thousands in budget dollars on phoneline charges

• Use for primary and/or backup reporting of alarms over a TCIP/

IP based network and/or telephone lines (telco)

• Security system with NetLink module sends encrypted alarm data

(alarms, status, supervisories) through TCP/IP network, securely
with dynamic IP addressing.

• Allows high-speed downloading via campus LAN ;

supports network-based automation routines

The NAPCO NetLink System enables Napco Gemini GEM-P816,
1632, 3200, 9600 and X255 Hybrid Panels to report alarms and status
over the Internet or a local intranet (providing primary or backup
reporting), using a programmable NetLink Panel Module and
Windows-based NetLink Software (NL-CSRCV) on a standard PC (no
dedicated central station receiver required).

With NetLink Software (NL-CSRCV) the standard PC is virtually
transformed into a remote monitoring receiver, eliminating new
equipment costs and saving maintenance costs on old, proprietary
receivers. The PC securely receives encrypted alarm data sent from
the NetLink Panel Module thru a TCP/IP network. Plus, NetLink
Software supervises each NetLink Module, receives alarms and easily
enables a security office, for example, to view alarms in real time, as
well as reviewing event history (openings/closings) and managing
data by account. The software can also be used to route events to an
automation system. Furthermore, Napco Panels’ PCD-Quickloader
Software can support panel program downloading through the
intranet or a corporate WAN, in addition to the uploading of logs

and other data.

Manufacturing great security products is all we do. It’s that simple.

PRELIMINARY SPECIFICATIONS:

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

NETLINK PANEL MODULE (NL-MOD):

The PC-configurable NAPCO NetLink™ NL-MOD enables
reporting of alarms over a TCP/IP based (Intranet or Internet)
network. Alarm reporting, previously via telephone lines/
telco only, can now be
communicated over
both a TCP/IP network
and/or Telco, or via the
TCP/IP network as a
backup. The NL-MOD
module is connected to
the on-board serial port
of the GEM-X255, GEM­P3200 and GEM-P9600
NAPCO GEMINI Control Panel, or is connected via the bell
and PGM wires from the GEM-P1632, GEM-P816, NAPCO
Express and other control panels.

NetLink Central Station Receiver Application (NL-CSRCV)
The NetLink Software, NL-CSRCV, is a Windows-based
application that is designed to act as a remote monitoring
receiver. In place of receiving alarm data through a telephone
line, the NL-CSRCV application receives encrypted alarm
data sent from the NL-MOD through a TCP/IP network. The
NL-CSRCV software can supervise each NL-MOD, receive
alarms, provide a means of maintaining accounts and provide
a means of displaying alarms and event history (opening/
closing, etc.). The NL-CSRCV could be used to display
alarm events locally or can be used to route events to an
automation system. For more information, see the NL-CSRCV
User Guide OI294.

System Hardware Requirements:
