Applied Digital has their operating manual posted at
http://www.appdig.com/manual/adiconmanual.html
My Ocelot has an RJ12 jack that is labeled "X10-PSC05" which I have
connected to an X10 Model PSC05 Powerline Interface.  Although their manual
shows connection to a TW523, I tried one on my Ocelot and it fails to work
99% of the time, so evidently the manual refers to an older Ocelot model.
Page 12 talks about their "supervised" input to detect a relay closure.  On
the SECU16, I used the jumper 2-3 setting along with the 1K resistors for
all of my motion sensors inputs and all works well.

  Subject: [ECS] Need help-finally starting ECS Win


  Hi everyone,

  After 8 fabulous years of using ECS for DOS, and several minor attempts at
upgrading, I am finally ready to jump to ECS / Win.

  I have a couple questions.

  First, my configuration:

  Dell v333c with 192mb, 10gB drive
  OS: Windows 2000
  Modem: The Zoom 14.4 from our group purchase a couple years ago
  Serial: 1 native, plus 1 Byterunner PCI 8 port on Com3 - Com 10
  USB: 2
  Interfaces: Ocelot with SECU-16 and SECU-16I

  I am simultaneously running a program called WinAPRS that broadcasts my
house weather conditions and car locations on the 2 meter band. To see the
internet feed of this feature check out
http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/wxpage.cgi?KC5JIF (weather) or
http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?kc5jif-1 (my car) .

  Here are the questions:

  I just bought an Ocelot from Worthington. I guess I should have checked,
but doesn't this device include the X-10 interface port as standard
equipment?  There is a phone cable in there, but no X-10 interface. Is this
an additional option ?  I have the CM11a, will this work?  If not, what do I
need to get?

  The SECU16 and SECU16I include 1000 ohm resistors for "supervised" inputs.
Can anyone shed light on what applied digital means by supervised? My
implementation is that my window and door security loops are normally
closed, and when the window or door opens the circuit opens. My motion
detectors are normally open. When they detect motion they close the circuit.

  Can the Ocelet/ECS combo handle this like I did with the Alpha
Board/ECS-DOS did ?  What do I gain by adding the resistors ?

  Is anyone running ECS on Win2000 using the Zoom Modem ? Does the sound
work ? Win2000 identified this as "Unknown Modem - Com 2" . I don't suppose
Zoom has Win2000 drivers for this, do they ?

  From my intermittent review of the messages here, it seems that the
emulation of the Bigmouth (a feature my family loves) is a problem for
Windows based ECS. What is the best solution for ECS calling an extension
and making an announcement using the paging feature of a Panasonic PBX ?


  Thanks guys. It will take me a while, but I look forward to getting back
to a current ECS configuration !
