How to enable SIA Procotol on AlarmFront

AlarmFront is SIA DC09 IP Receiver Software and also it can work as SIA IP Receiver. Here is how to enable SIA Protocol on AlarmFront:
1. In AlarmFront, you can create a device that uses the TCP/IP SIA protocol.
SIA Reciver settings.

Specify the local IP address and port number you want to forward traffic to. We configured this earlier in the process.
2. If the port forwarding is configured correctly, in the message header there is no link to the object

3. Create an object using the Surgard Contact ID template.

SIA Software - create an object.

On the Parameters tab, type the ID of the object.

SIA IP Reciver Software assign object ID.

4. Go to the Program Settings and on the Global Parameters tab import the SIA_en.csv from the program's directory.

Import SIA Alarm Codes into software.

AlarmFront will start to receive events from alarm panels, decode them, and show them to operators in an appropriate format.

What is the SIA Protocol and what are its features

A central station receiver is a device that connects to other devices using the SIA protocol. This allows event information to be transmitted to a central station. The receiver must be compatible with the SIA DC09 standard to work properly.
The SIA DC09 standard defines the communication between premises equipment and a central station receiver. The standard uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) or Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) for communication.

When using UDP, the source port number can be set by the transmitter. This allows the receiver to know where replies should be sent.
The SIA alarm notification protocol is a popular choice for alarm systems due to its reliability and wide support. AlarmFront supports SIA dc09 and can work as an SIA IP receiver software, allowing you to receive alarm notifications from compatible systems.

Features of SIA Protocol

  • SIA is a text protocol that uses letters to encode information. The advantage of this is that it can be read and understood by humans. The protocol uses ASCII characters for data transmission. Here is an example of SIA messages:

"SIA-DCS"0002R1L232#78919[1234|NFA129][S123Main St., 55123]_11:10:00,10-12-2019
"SIA-DCS"0002R1L232#78919[ ][ ]_11:10:00,10-12-2019
"SIA-DCS"0266L0#alarm1[alarm2|Nri1OP0001*Familie*]_16:22:03,06-08-2018

  • AES encryption is used to protect the data in an SIA alarm message, ensuring that only authorized personnel can view the contents.
  • CRC is used to verify the integrity of an SIA alarm message and check for any errors that may have occurred during transmission.
  • The timestamp is used to indicate when an event occurred, allowing you to more easily track when alarms are triggered.
  • SIA Alarm codes are 2 chars long (BA, TD) and indicate the type of event that has occurred. A table of SIA alarm codes is included below for reference.
  • Multiple commands can be chained together in a single SIA alarm message, allowing you to perform multiple actions with a single message.
  • Heartbeat is used to keep the connection between the alarm system and AlarmFront active and will trigger a reconnect if no heartbeat is received for a set period.

Most poupolar SIA Alarm Codes:

  • BA: Burglary Alarm
  • TD: Tamper Detection
  • FD: Fire Detection
  • PA: Panic Alarm
  • AU: Audible Alarm
  • CW: Carbon Monoxide Warning
  • EX: Exit Time Violation
  • IN: Entry Time Violation
  • LA: Loss of AC Power
  • LW: Low Battery Warning
  • CL: Closing Report
  • OP: Opening Report

How does the Sia Protocol work?

The SIA Protocol is a standard that defines how information is exchanged between devices on an IP network. The protocol uses a frame that contains elements such as a header, data, and timestamp. The data element includes information about the event, and the timestamp indicates when the event occurred.

When an alarm system is triggered, the alarm panel sends a message to the receiver using the SIA Protocol. The message includes information about the event, and the receiver uses this information to determine how to respond.

SIA DC09 Protocol format

The format used for the events is based on a protocol outlined in SIA Digital Communications Standards – Receiver-to-Computer Interface Protocol.

Here is a SIA event message format:

<0LLL><"id"><#acct>[...data...][…xdata…]

Example:

B3680040"ADM-CID"0001L000000#1234[#1234|1140 00 007]_22:49:34,01-22- 2012
ACK from Monitoring to alarm panel
<0LLL><"NULL"><0000><#acct>[]
<0LLL><"*ACK"><#acct>[ ]

For more information, please refer to the description of the SIA protocol on offictial website.
