General Information
System Overview
Introduction
The LTEM-P Series Communicators utilize the latest LTE technology specifically designed for loT
devices to communicate with AlarmNet. The LTE CAT-M1 technology provides improved power
efficiency and signal strength underground and within buildings. LTE CAT-M1 is available everywhere
that current LTE networks reach with strong enough reception for consistent connections.
The LTEM-P Series Communicator, herein referred to as the communicator, easily connects to your
security system's control panel and sends alarms and messages to AlarmNet for subsequent transfer
to the central monitoring station.
The LTEM-P Series includes the following models:
•
LTEM-PV (Verizon network)
•
LTEM-PA (AT&T network)
The communicator also supports the following optional plug-in modules:
•
LTE CAT-1 Cell Radio Module for enhanced cellular radio features (model PROLTE series)
•
Wi-Fi/Z-Wave Module for Wi-Fi
®
connection to the Internet and/or for control of home automation
devices (model PROWIFIZW)
•
Dialer Capture Module for use with control panels that send Contact ID signals via Dialer (model
PRODCM)
NOTES
:
•
The communicator requires an AlarmNet 360 account. For new installations, please obtain
the account information from the central station prior to programming this communicator.
For replacement installations, the AlarmNet 360 account is created automatically when
the communicator is registered.
•
Due to Resideo's continuing effort to improve our products, your device may look slightly
different than pictured.
General Information
The LTEM-P communicates via the Internet (when service is available) and switches to cell service
when the Internet is not available (provided the Communication Path is set to IP & Cell).
Connection to the Internet is made by direct Ethernet cable to the router, or via Wi-Fi
®
(requires use of
the optional Wi-Fi/Z-Wave module). Only one of these methods may be used, not both.
In normal operation (with Internet connectivity), the LTEM-P communicates from your customer's
network connection to the Resideo Network Operations Center, (NOC) via the AlarmNet network. The
NOC receives data and routes the information to the Central Station of your choice, based on the
account number you assign to the communicator. Note that your Central Station needs to give you
the account number. The same account number is used for both Internet and cell transmissions. If
your current Central Station is capable of receiving signals from the Resideo NOC, they are capable of
receiving signals from the communicator.
If, for some reason, Internet connectivity is not available, (for example, your customer's ISP is off line
or disconnected) and the Communication Path choice is set to IP & Cell, the communicator transmits
signals via the cellular network to complete these transmissions. These transmissions are sent to the
Resideo NOC and then forwarded to your Central Station the same way as if they were received via the
Internet.
If the Internet AND Cell network are both unavailable, the message will not be sent via this device.
