INTRODUCTION

Encrypted Communications (XR550 with Encryption only)
An XR550 panel with encryption communicates using 128-bit or 256-bit AES encryption. If you currently have an
XR550 panel installed, you may contact DMP Customer Service with the panel serial number. The serial number(s)
should be sent in writing via e-mail or fax. A separate feature key is sent for each panel to activate encrypted
communications using the Feature Upgrade process. Encrypted communication cannot be enabled on a standard
XR550 panel. For more information on the Feature Upgrade process see the XR150/XR550 Series Canadian
Programming Guide (LT-1232CAN).
Note:
256-bit encrypted messages to SCS-1R receiver only communicate when using SCS-104 Receiver Line Cards
with Version 102 or higher software.
2.6 Caution Notes
Throughout this guide you will see caution notes containing information you need to know when installing the panel.
These cautions are indicated with a yield sign. Whenever you see a caution note, make sure you completely read
and understand its information. Failing to follow the caution note can cause damage to the equipment or improper
operation of one or more components in the system. See the example shown below.
Always ground the panel before applying power to any devices:
The panel must be properly grounded
before connecting any devices or applying power to the panel. Proper grounding protects against
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) that can damage system components.
