Introduction
The CM751B module allows you to interface compatible
security control panels to the building’s hard wired IP
connection point using a CAT 5E connection cable. Once
configured and operating you will be able to report to
monitoring centres that support the available IP report-
ing formats and to upload/download to the control panel
through an internet or intranet connection.
Getting Started
There are four main steps required to configure the
CM751B for reporting to the control room. The instruc-
tions assume that you are installing a new IP module and
that you are using the Solution Link RAS software.
1. Install the CM751B hardware on the control panel.
2. Configure the module’s features and parameters.
3. Configure the control panel for IP reporting.
4. Configure the control panel for IP remote access.
A number of IP connection tools are included in the Solu-
tion Link RAS software and it is recommended that you
make use of these when configuring the CM751B. At this
point you should connect your laptop to the same LAN
that the CM751B is connected and then run Solution Link.
If the premises has a Network Administrator you should
work with them to complete the installation as a number
of steps listed below can be avoided if the administrator
can provide you with the required information.
It is important at this point to record the
MAC or physical address of the CM751B IP module
for future reference. You can record this
information in the “Customer Details” on page 11

Step 1 - Installing the IP Module
Ensure that the panel is powered off before proceeding.
Plug the 3 short plastic standoffs into the module and
then plug it onto the Expansion Port header pins on the
panel as shown in “Figure 2: CM751B Module Installed On
Solution 144” on page 4. If you are connecting the
CM751B to a panel which also has a CM101B Voice Mod-
ule fitted then you should use the longer standoffs from
the HW750 Riser Kit.
Once installed, connect the ethernet cable to the CM751B
and re power the control panel. Observe the module’s
green Status LED. Under normal operation the Status LED
will remain on steady for approximately 3 seconds follow-
ing power up while the system configures the module.
During this process if the connected internal network is
DHCP enabled, the module will request an IP address from
DHCP server. Once the module receives an address the
Status LED will begin to flash slowly.
If the Status LED is flashing fast then the module has not
received an IP address or there is a IP address conflict. If
this occurs check all LAN wiring to the module and or
contact the network administrator for assistance.

Step 2 - Configuring the IP Module’s Network Settings
The CM751B module will need a fixed or reserved IP
address on the network that it is to be connected to. If
the network administrator is available then they should
provide you with the Default Gateway, Subnet Mask and
IP Address to be used.
If you are trying to determine this information without
an administrator then you will need to obtain the Default
Gateway and Subnet mask for the network. To do this run
the IPCONFIG command on your laptop or another PC
which is connected to the same network as the module.
