Appendix B.4. Simulation of the Xpoint command
The following notes apply only to FieldServer Technologies engineers.
The sim4100_func=xpoint keyword is used to parse unsolicited point status change messages sent by Simplex
devices. For simulation purposes, a Wrbc version of this function has been implemented to test the response
parsing ability of the slave portion of the driver.
Appendix B.5. Simplex Port Vectoring
The 4100 panels do not automatically send event messages ( xpoint messages) to the serial port card. An explicit
procedure called 'Port Vectoring' maps the events to the port.
If a card is moved from one hardware location to another, it maybe necessary to revector the port.
