Note: If you have selected cellular as the only interface, this check will be done after the cellular settings.
The terminal will now check with the AddSecure server to see if a new version is
available. If a new version is available, the «Reflash now» option will appear and
can be clicked, see section 6.22 “Reflash”.
Ethernet setup and test
5.3.3.1
Checking Ethernet connection
If Ethernet is being used, the Checking Ethernet screen is displayed.
The terminal will now confirm if an Ethernet connection has been made to the
premise’s network equipment, such as an Ethernet router or switch. If no
connection can be seen, “Ethernet Disconnected” will be displayed and the cable
between the terminal and the premise’s network equipment will need to be checked.
If the connection is good, you will see ‘Ethernet Connected’ and can click «Continue».
5.3.3.2
Dialler IP Address
The Terminal IP address screen is then displayed.
This shows or allows you to set up the Terminal IP address for the network to
which the terminal is to be connected. The terminal is setup for DHCP by default,
so the network will allocate an IP address, subnet mask and gateway.
If you are using a DHCP network connection, click «Continue». If the customer
has requested that a fixed IP address is assigned, then click «Change».
Click the «Fixed» box.
Using these menu options, enter the IP address (IP), Subnet Mask (S/N) and
Gateway information (Gway) for the customer network.
Then click «Back» and check that the information was entered correctly, then
click «Continue».
The terminal will then check the validity of the IP address and confirm if this is
OK. If "IP address OK" is displayed, click «Continue». If not, go back and check
and correct the information.
5.3.3.3
Ethernet communications tests
The terminal will send a test poll and test alarm message to the ARC to check the
Ethernet connection.
If these are not successful, the terminal will display the failure and possible
reasons. See section 5.3.1.
