Napco NL-CSRCV NetLink Receiver Application PC Based Software

The NAPCO NetLink Receiver Application (NL-CSRCV) is a PC based software program that is designed to act as a remote monitoring receiver or as a remote monitoring system. In place of receiving alarm data through a telephone line, the NetLink Receiver Application receives data sent through a TCP/IP network encrypted with AES 128 bit encryption. The NetLink Receiver Application can supervise each control panel, receive alarms, maintain accounts and provide a means of displaying alarms, status and event history. The NetLink Receiver Application can also take the place of the automation system or work in tandem with one.

The software consists of two parts, a NetLink Server for receiving the check-in and event data from a NAPCO alarm panel and the NetLink User Interface, for interpreting and displaying the event data. After the initial setup, central station operators must first start the NetLink Server program (which runs in the background) and then open the NetLink User Interface to begin receiving alarm data.

For each alarm control panel, a device called a "NetLink Module" (NL-MOD) connects the control panel to a TCP/IP based (Intranet or Internet) network, allowing data (using 128bit AES encryption) to be sent to the NetLink Receiver Application software. One NL-MOD is used for each account, connecting a single panel to that network. Although an automation system could manage individual areas of a control panel as separate Accounts, the NetLink Receiver Application detects each NL-MOD as a separate Account and not areas of a panel.
