PowerManage architecture

Figure 1. PowerManage architecture

Callout	Name	Description
1	PowerManage server	The PowerManage server
2	Receiver	The PowerManage receives events from the panels by IP or GPRS communication and displays them on the server. The PowerManage then forwards the events to automation applications or central monitoring stations using the following protocols: Panels to server protocols: Standard protocols, such as SIA, CID, and FIBRO Proprietary protocols, such as power-net Server to automation protocols: Standard protocols, such as MLR-2 or FEP Proprietary protocol, such as VISNAP
3	Resolve	Enables the server operator to control and view panel parameters, as well as run tests and create reports
4	One-click	Click to view recent events and any related images or video clips in PowerManage. For more information, see Setting up Visual alarm verification
5	Video Disk Control Protocol (VDCP)	Enables the operation of large numbers of panels simultaneously and enables PowerManage to connect to third party applications through a two-way interface. The two-way interface is a Python based program.
6	Interactive app
		The user application enables homeowners to perform most operations that are permitted to a panel user. For example, homeowners can view the security system status, remotely arm or disarm the system, receive image verification and view historical logs on a mobile device or remote PC.
		The installer mobile application enables the installer to view and configure the panel remotely without visiting the customer's residence.
