the IP Communicator).

Note: It is possible to pre-program the IP Communicator at

the panel before the installation. To pre-program the IP

Communicator, the following is done:

1.

An auto-registration password is entered (along with

all other Central Station information) and saved in the

unit's flash memory.

2.

When the IP Communicator is installed at the site and

connected to the Internet/Intranet, it auto-registers

with the Central Station receiver.

3.

This feature eliminates the need to program from a PC

at the remote site.

4.

The IP Receiver at the monitoring station will automat-

ically configure other parameters during registration.

For most installations, the only parameters required are as

follows:

•

Selection of either DHCP or Static IP

•

Destination primary and secondary receiver IP

addresses

•

Account identification number (CID)

•

Port number

•

Installation password

Installation Requirements

To install the IDPDACT-2, the following criteria are

required:

•

Mounted locally next to the supported fire alarm control

panel.

•

The Central Station must be equipped with a compatible

VisorALARM PLUS™ IP receiver

•

At least 136mA of electrical power available from the

power supply to use for the IPDACT-2 unit.

•

Ethernet network connection (ITE-listed router/gate-

way).

•

It is recommended to use a small UPS, to provide

backup power for customer-provided router/switch/

modem.

•

Dynamic or static IP address (dynamic addressing

requires DHCP server present on the local network.

Note: DSL and cable modems typically use dynamic

addressing as supplied by network providers).

•

UDP port for IP communication with the monitoring sta-

tion (default port: 80 may be changed by the Central

Station).

•

Destination IP addresses of the IP receivers where the

IP Communicator will be sending alarms and other

events (If installed on a private Intranet, the gateway

address of the public router will be required to allow the

IP card to access the Internet and the public router at

the Central Station).

•

Panel account ID number (CID).

•

Installer password (provided by the monitoring station

managing the IP receiver).
