The Silent Knight IO application sends security data to the Event Processor 
The Silent Knight Alarm Interface receives serial data from a Silent Knight Alarm/Fire/Door system and outputs events from this system to the Event Processing System so that other EPS applications (namely the Alarm Server) can take action upon the Silent Knight Alarm definitions.   Many Silent Knight interface options are contained in the SKIO.Cfg file.  The SKIO.Cfg file allows for the translation of Silent Knight Event codes into EPS Tag/Item Id definitions and Silent Knight Zone definitions into EPS Location Ids. A typical Silent Knight Data screen is seen below.

A typical Silent Knight Exception screen is seen below.

In this screen you can see if any AlarmCodeOut or AlarmLocOut definitions do not match definitions in the EPS Database.  Before SKIO and EPS will operate correctly, these exceptions must be corrected.

A typical Silent Knight Translation screen is seen below.

This screen shows the SKIO.Cfg definitions for Alarm Codes and Alarm Loc Codes and how these values are to be translated by the SKIO application.  If a name is listed for the translation that is the name defined in the EPS database.
