Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999035623
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A security system comprising a plurality of remote wireless units (21, 34), a central control unit (12) and an adaptive console (44) for translating messages in radio frequency signals into messages in signals suitable for transmission over a wire (30) in order to augment the wireless capability of the system. The adaptive console (44) has a wireless receiver (11) for receiving the radio frequency signal, which includes identification and status information from a wireless remote units. The adaptive console (44) also has a processing unit (46) which translates the identification and status information from the radio frequency signal to correspond function data derived from a mapping of valid identification and status information to function data, the function data emulating data generated by keypresses on a keypad that is representative of a function to be performed by the security system. The adaptive console (44) also has a transmitter (13) which transmits a signal over a wired connection to the central control unit (12).
