Make sure you have the proper license
To use Galaxy Dimension control panels in Security Center, your license must include the
correct “Number of Intrusion detection units” you want to control. For more information about
licensing, see
Secure your network
Best practice:
It is recommended that the Galaxy Dimension control panel and the Security
Center Intrusion role run on a secure network.
Configure the control panel for RS-232 communication
If your Security Center server is in a remote location, and you want to communicate with the
local Galaxy Dimension control panel using RS-232 serial communication, the onboard RS-232
communication port must be configured on the panel.
For more information about configuring the RS232 communication port settings on the control
panel, see “56.6 - Int RS232 Port” in the
Honeywell Galaxy Dimension Installer Manual
.
NOTE
If you are using IP communication, you do not need to perform these steps. Skip to
"Configure the control panel for IP communication"
Before you begin:
Install a Serial to IP adapter.

Using a keypad on your control panel, set the communication
Mode

interface using an RS-232 cable.
