Map Descriptor example 1 - Monitoring a MXL/XLS Device for Events
To monitor a MXL/XLS device we need only one “poller” Map Descriptor as shown below. The function of this Map Descriptor’s is to continuously check the
MXL device for events from panels. Only one poller Map Descriptor per FieldServer port is required when monitoring more than one MXL/XLS device. The
Node_Name will indicate on which port this Map Descriptor resides.
