Kalatel DVMRe StoreSafe 
9.2  Configuration and 
Status 
 
i) Data structure 
 
Byte 1: 0xFF 
Byte 2: Command Type 
   0xAA: (SET) Update DVMRe with data. 
   0xBB: (GET) Extract data from DVMRe. 
Byte 3: Data Length (n) 
Byte 4: Data Type 
   0x61: Restart DVMRe 
 0xFE: Send configuration data to DVMRe     
   0x09: Read Alarm History from DVMRe  
   0xFF: Read configuration and status data 
from DVMRe 
Byte 5: Data byte 1 
Byte 6: Data byte 2 
           
           
Byte x: Data byte n 
    
ii) Sending data to the DVMRe 
 
a)  Restart StoreSafe 
This command will restart StoreSafe. 
 
Byte 1: 0xFF 
Byte 2: 0xAA 
Byte 3: 0 
Byte 4: 0x61 
   
b)  Send data to StoreSafe 
Configuration data can be sent to StoreSafe, 
to change the way it operates.  The data is 
arranged in the form of 16 byte blocks, 
numbered from 1 to 213.  Blocks 182, 183 and 
185 are status blocks, and hence cannot be 
written to.  For details about the contents of 
each block, contact GE-Interlogix and request 
the Block Data Structure for StoreSafe. 
 
Byte 1: 0xFF 
Byte 2: 0xAA 
Byte 3: 17 
Byte 4: 0xFE 
Byte 5: Block Number 
 
   (1-181, 184, 186-200) 
Byte 6: data[0] 
     :      : 
     :      : 
Byte 21:data[15] 
 
After sending a block or series of blocks, block 
number 255 must be updated to signal the end of 
the configuration session.  All data bytes for block 
255 must be set to 0. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
iii)  Requesting data from the DVMRe 
 
When a message of type 0xBB is sent to 
StoreSafe, it will respond by sending 16 bytes of 
requested data. 
 
a) Read Alarm History List 
 
                   Byte 1: 0xFF 
Byte 2: 0xBB 
Byte 3: 0 
Byte 4: 0x09 
 
When the "Read Alarm History List" message is 
received by StoreSafe, it responds by sending a 
start byte 0xFF, followed by ASCII strings for 
every alarm event in its alarm history list, and a 
stop byte, 0xFF.  Each string is formatted as 
follows:   
 
dd.bmm/ddbhh:mm:ssbaa<CR><LF> 
 
dd: 
index number (00 - 99) 
b: 
space character 
mm: 
month (01-12) 
dd: 
day (01-31) 
hh: 
hours (00-23) 
mm: 
minutes (00-59) 
ss: 
seconds (00-59) 
aa: 
alarm number (01-16) 
<CR> 
Carriage return (0x0D) 
<LF> 
Line feed (0x0A) 
 
Example:  03. 11/27 22:48:58 15 
 
b)  Read data from StoreSafe 
Configuration and status data can be read from 
StoreSafe. The data is arranged in the form of 16 
byte blocks, numbered from 1 to 213.  For details 
about the contents of each block, contact GE-
Interlogix and request the Block Data Structure 
for StoreSafe. 
 
Byte 1: 0xFF 
Byte 2: 0xBB 
Byte 3: 1 
Byte 4: 0xFF 
Byte 5: Block Number 1-213 or 255 if all    
blocks are requested. 
 
StoreSafe responds to the “Read data” request by 
sending all the requested data bytes 
consecutively, without any start or stop bytes.    
 
A total of either 16 bytes or 3408 bytes will be 
transmitted, depending on whether a single block 
or all the blocks were requested.
