1 CHEETAH DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Cheetah Protocol driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over either RS-232 or RS-
485 using the Cheetah device protocols (Legacy Cheetah Classic and the current Cheetah Xi).
The driver supports messages sent from the Cybercat panel. Specifically, the driver supports message 1.02 which
reports panel, zone and device states.
The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or Client but it should be noted that it can only process unsolicited
messages from the Cheetah devices. Thus, it does not provide an active Client driver. It is best to consider this
driver as a consumer only driver with the data being produced by a Cheetah controller.
