The standard, ANSI/SIA DC-09-2007: SIA Digital Communication Standard — Internet Protocol Event Reporting, is intended for use by manufacturers of control panels and central station receivers to ensure equipment compatibility.
It also affects security system installers, specifiers, end users — central stations — and local authorities dealing with compatibility issues.
More than a dozen manufacturers participated in the standard’s development. The standard can be purchased from SIA.
