Test Communications –
Performs network diagnostics and sends test alarms to AlarmNet. The following
tests are available depending on the type of communications module installed.
Test Ethernet
This test is available if IP communication path is enabled. The network diagnostic process tests the integrity of the links
between the LYNX Touch and the various connection points of AlarmNet Control that are known as “Redirectors”. If a physical
link is detected and is ready, the following diagnostics are performed.
Testing Gateway…
Traces the connection to the Gateway and displays the following:
Testing Gateway – Successful!
A successful trace to Gateway. OR
Testing Gateway – Failed!
Failed to reach Gateway.
Testing Redirector * Sequentially traces the connection to Redirector 1, 2 and 3 at AlarmNet Control. The following will be
displayed.
Redirector * – Service OK
Service at AlarmNet Control on Redirector 1, 2 or 3 is functioning. OR
Redirector * – Failed
Error occurred on Redirector 1, 2 or 3.
* = Number of the director being tested is displayed
A summary of the tests is displayed after Redirector 3 is tested. The example shows that the tests of all three
connection points, or Redirectors, were successful. If an error occurred at any point, the summary will display “Failed”
next to the faulty Redirector.
Redirector 1 – Service OK
Redirector 2 – Service OK
Redirector 3 – Service OK
If no physical link is detected, the test is aborted and one of the following is displayed:
No Physical Link
No physical link is detected.
Link Not Ready
There is a link but it is not ready (address not resolved).

Setup Communication –
Performs registration of the LYNX Touch and its associated communication
module with AlarmNet updates configuration files or reset factory defaults.
Registering the LYNX Touch
Once the LYNX Touch is initialized and a communications module is programmed, it must be registered to
enable the account. Upon completion of the registration process, the LYNX Touch transmits a registration
message and receives a registration validation indicating that the account is now enabled. Wait for the
“Registration Success” message to appear, regardless of which registration method is used.
You can register the communications module by one of the following methods:
•
Through the AlarmNet Direct website
•
By Phone
•
Through the LYNX Touch Diagnostics
