Section 4 Silver Network Support
The MX-7000 supports Silver Network based sensors via 2 of its 4 USB ports and Silver network interface
units (USB to fiber/422 converters). The supported sensors include fence sensors FlexPS, FlexZone-4,
Senstar LM100, plus the UltraWave microwave sensor, and the UltraLink I/O processor. Refer to the
appropriate product manuals for installation and configuration details for specific Silver Network based
devices. The MX-7000 can monitor up to 30 Silver Network based devices in a single network loop. Audio
monitoring and EDAPT processing are not available for devices on the Silver Network.
Note that the Silver Network devices on loop 4 do not affect loops 1 to 3 or any other peripheral
device connections as illustrated in Figure 2.
Figure 14 Silver Network diagram
Silver Network support requires MX-7000 software version J9SW0500-128 or above, plus the MX-7000
Silver Network drivers J9SW0501-001. No additional MX-7000 hardware is required. The Silver Network
devices connect to the MX-7000 through 2 mini NIUs (p/n 00EM0200) or through a Network Interface Unit
(NIU - p/n 00EM1301). Figure 14 illustrates an MX-7000 with a closed loop Silver Network. The Silver
Network example shows 9 transponders and depending on the MX-7000 zone configuration, up to 26
alarm zones.
