4.4.4 Map Descriptor example 1 - Monitoring a MXL/XLS Device for Events

To monitor a MXL/XLS device we need only one “poller” Map Descriptor as shown below. The function of this Map Descriptor’s is to continuously check the MXL device for events from panels. Only one poller Map Descriptor per FieldServer port is required when monitoring more than one MXL/XLS device. The Node_Name will indicate on which port this Map Descriptor resides.
