Paradox
PARADOX® EVO48 and EVO192 are advanced, multi-area security systems integrated with a variety of wired and wireless sensors. The EVO48 supports up to 48 zones in 4 areas (partitions), while the EVO192 supports 192 zones in 8 areas. Both units support programmable outputs (PGM) and virtual inputs. The Paradox EVO driver in HSYCO supports the integration of more than one EVO unit within the same HSYCO interface. The integration with HSYCO can be accomplished via direct control through the RS-232 port on the PRT3 Integration Module.
Communication
Employ a DE-9 (often called DB-9) male-female RS-232 straight cable to connect the PRT3 to the serial port on HSYCO SERVER.
RS-232 parameters:
| Baud rate | same as defined on the PRT3 (default 9600) |
| Data bits | 8 |
| Stop bit | 1 |
| Parity | no parity |
| Flow control | none |
Using the software Winload (default user: Master; default password: 1234) set the PRT3 speed to the appropriate rate setting options 2 and 3 of section 016. You can use any of the speeds that the PRT3 supports. 9600 or higher is recommended. Enable serial communication and home automation protocol (Ascii protocol).

Options
| ID | Default | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| gui | true | true | enable support for the UI object, UISET actions and USER commands |
| false | disable UI support | ||
| language | system language | en | language of log and display messages. Supported values are it and en |
| it | |||
| zoneactivitylog | false | true | logs the open/close status of zones in the log page and security.log files |
| false | disable zone status log | ||
| maxzone | 0 | 0 ≥ n ≤ 192 | force zones status detect and data points initialization at startup (zones data points are initialized with events disabled) for zones 1 to maxzone value |
| areanamelog | true | true | adds the area name to all log messages |
| false | remove the area name (if only one area is used, having the area name in the logs could be useless) | ||
| code | code | the user code to be used when sending IO commands to the EVO, if code is not explicitly set in the command | |
| logsize | 50 | n ≥ 0 | the number of log lines to display in the UI object |
bentel.ini
The bentel.ini file is an optional configuration file located in the main directory (same directory as hsyco.ini or hsyco.jar) and used to define zones and partitions names. If defined, these names will be used instead of the original numbers in the log files and the bentel GUI object.
The bentel.ini is automatically detected at start-up. Changes to this file become effective when the I/O Server is restarted.
For each zone or partition, enter a line formatted as:
<io_server_id>.zone.<n> = <name> <io_server_id>.area.<n> = <name>
For instance:
kyo.zone.1 = kitchen kyo.zone.2 = garage kyo.area.1 = basement kyo.area.2 = second floor
