You're probably here because you want to program your Brinks system and don't have the special device the technicians use. This port has five pins, with a gap between two of them, and is labeled "J8". This provides a direct connection to the serial port on the panel's CPU. More specifically, the "ASC0" port, for anyone familiar with the C series.
The pinout is as follows:. If you are using a Bus Pirate , the following sequence of serial terminal commands will configure it properly:. The reason UART is the best option is because this way, your PC will have its own link to the panel separate from other devices that are hooked up. Furthermore, the system is capable of booting via this port, which will enable you to restore the system if its programming or firmware ever becomes corrupted to the point where it won't boot normally.
You shouldn't be able to corrupt the programming to this extent using the regular programming menus, but I've seen it happen seemingly at random before. I have had bad luck using the Raspberry Pi's built-in UART for this purpose; the Pi can receive data from the panel just fine but the panel hasn't responded to anything I've tried sending to it.
Though your mileage may vary; maybe it will work fine for you. Interestingly, this issue doesn't always occur with BSL communications more on that shortly though I have still encountered issues in the past. The other way to connect your PC is through the system's data bus, the same way that keypads and other peripherals communicate with the panel. For this, you will need an RS adapter.
If you are buying an adapter for this purpose, make sure it has either two or three terminals on it. Some have four or five, and I don't think those are compatible. If you look at your alarm's main panel, you will see several screw terminals with wires in them. This is the IntelliBus port, to which keypads and other peripheral devices are wired.
You may also notice a small connector labeled "J3" with four pins. This provides the same exact connection; the rightmost pin looking at it with the screw terminals below the connector is DATA, and the one immediately to the left of it is CLK.
This is the installer programming port, which is where a Brinks technician would plug in the handheld programmer that Soft replaces. If your adapter's terminals are not labeled A and B, just guess which one goes to which; guessing wrong won't do any damage. If your adapter has three terminals instead of two, ignore the "GND" one, or optionally you can connect it to one of the "-" terminals on the panel, which I guess is recommended if you plan on leaving it attached permanently.
The truth is, the "CLK" terminal is mislabeled. It actually carries the complementary data line, not a clock signal. Now, it's easiest to wire it to the screw terminals, as you can use regular wire for that.
However, if you have the right kind of connector this kind fits perfectly, but any standard male-to-female jumper wire should work , attaching it to the programming port will avoid the need to loosen the screws, so there's no risk of other wires falling out. Once you have it wired, plug the adapter into your computer.
You'll probably want to use a laptop for this, though something like a Raspberry Pi is ideal if you want something you can conveniently leave connected to the panel to access over a network.
You'll need to determine what serial port the adapter appears as—if you're using Windows, it will most likely be COM3 or a higher-numbered port, though you may need to install a driver before it will work. Look in Device Manager to be sure. Run s For example,. Warning: By default, this software is currently configured to listen on all network interfaces; this means anyone on your network will be able to access your system's programming.
If this is a problem, edit s If all goes well, a Web page will load. If you happen to have caught a glimpse of the handheld programmer your installer used to configure your system the S , then this screen may look familiar to you—Soft is a software-based clone of that same device, which your alarm panel will see as if it's the real thing.

Brink - Xbox Controller Support? Ask Question. Asked 10 years, 7 months ago. Active 9 years, 10 months ago. Viewed 7k times. Anyway, is it possible to use my Xbox Controller on Brink? Improve this question. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Officially there is no controller support for Brink on PC. Improve this answer. Could not get this to work. I eneded up using the Pinnacle Game Profiler — user Craig fair enough. But, if you've managed to find something that worked for you, why don't you post that as an answer to your own question so that we can upvote it?
Craig - should be an "answer your own question" button at the bottom which will pop up a warning , it's intentionally hard to find to discourage people doing it by mistake and clogging up questions with noise.
There is a simpler way that Pinnacle Game Profiler, check this out, it's designed specifically for Brink: rush-zone.
