Note that Trouble modules 1 and 2 on Panel 1 are emulated with two separate Map Descriptors.

Notes:

Specifies the panel number being emulated by this Server Map Descriptor.

Specifies the module number. A typical Cerberus Server has 256 points per module.

Specifies the number of points represented within the indicated module.

1MXL/XLS Server Map Descriptor fields differ in many respects from MXL/XLS Client Map Descriptors. Please follow the examples clearly and read all notes to ensure a working configuration. No poller Map Descriptors may be defined in a configuration file that is used to configure a MXL/XLS Server.

2Only one module specified by Block_Number can be emulated with a Server Map Descriptor whereas a Client Map Descriptor specifies a starting module number with one module for every 256 counts of the Map Descriptor length. You have to use separate Map Descriptors for each module to emulate when doing a Server configuration.

3More than one Msg_Type Map Descriptor may be used to represent other modules.
