FlexC®

The SPC Flexible Secure Communications Protocol (FlexC) enables communications for an Internet Protocol (IP) based single or multiple path Alarm Transmission System (ATS). An ATS is a reliable communications link between a Supervised Premises Transceiver (SPT, for example, Ethernet integrated onto the SPC panel) and a Receiving Centre Transceiver (RCT, for example, SPC Com XT or the SPC Connect server, www.spcconnect.com). A FlexC ATS consists of a primary Alarm Transmission Path (ATP) and up to nine backup Alarm Transmission Paths (ATPs). It enables:

  • Two-way transfer of data between the SPT, for example the SPC panel over Ethernet, and the RCT, for example, the SPC Com XT server or the SPC Connect server, www.spcconnect.com.

  • Communication monitoring of a complete ATS and individual ATPs.

SPC intrusion panels support FlexC over IP with any of the following interfaces:

  • Ethernet

  • GSM modem with GPRS enabled

  • PSTN modem
