IP
The
IP
option group is to setup the
IP
Module as de-
scribed below.
+
Every time an option in this group is download to
the Control Panel the Keypads will be locked for
the time required for the Control Panel to program
the IP Module.
Remote interruption of remote monitoring
!
The central station may decide to stop remote
monitoring without the need for end user con-
sent. In this case, the central station will no lon-
ger receive any events from the panel, even if
the
IP
Module
is
enabled
and
properly
programmed.
The interruption of remote monitoring is reported with
the faults
Main Receiv.Lost
for the
Main Receiver
and
2nd Receiv. Lost
for the
Backup Receiver
.
These faults can also be triggered by other causes.
If the fault is due to the interruption of remote monitor-
ing, the event log will include the events
MainRec
OFF-CMS
for the
Main Receiver
and
2ndRec
OFF-CMS
for the
Backup Receiver
.
To reset remote monitoring, the central station must
re-enable the reception of events and:
Ø
the IP Module must be first disabled then re-enabled
using the specific command in the installer menu
(see “KEYPAD OPERATIONS > 3.5) View IP Mod-
ule Status”) or in the user menu (see “OPERATIONS
FROM TOUCH KEYPAD > System > IP” or
“OPERATIONS FROM LCD KEYPAD > View > IP
Module status (3.5)” in the User Manual), or
Ø
the BOSS must send to the panel a program in which
at least one option of the
IP
group has been modified.
Present
If this option is enabled, the options concern-
ing the IP Module can be set.
Default:
disabled.
+
The control panel can use the IP Module ONLY if
this option is enabled.
+
This option is enabled automatically if the control
panel is powered with the IP Module already in-
stalled in its connector.
If this option is enabled and the control panel fails to
communicate with the IP Module for 30 seconds, the
event
IP Absence
occurs: the event ends when the
control panel succeeds in communicating with the IP
Module.
Enabled
If this option is disabled, the options concern-
ing the IP Module (maintenance) can be uploaded or
downloaded.
Default:
disabled.
+
The IP Module may also be enabled/disabled from
the Installer Menu and the User Menu.
Obtain an IP address automatically
If this option is
ENABLED it will be the server or router the IP Module is
connected to that will provide the IP Module with the in-
formation required to connect to the sub-network it is
part of:
IP Address
,
Subnet Mask
,
Default Gateway
,
DNS Server Address
.
If this option is disabled the connection options should
be set manually as described in the following sections.
Default:
enabled.
IP Address
Enter the IP

Address to be assigned to
the IP Module: the network administrator will provide
this information.
Default:
192.168.0.101
+
This option is locked if the
Obtain an IP address
automatically
option is enabled.
Subnet Mask
Enter the Sub-network Mask
17
for the lo-
cal sub-network: the network administrator will provide
this information.
Default:
255.255.255.0.
+
This option is locked if the
Obtain an IP address
automatically
option is enabled.
Default Gateway
Enter the IP address for the local
gateway
18
that will be used by the IP Module to connect
to a PC outside the LAN (Ethernet): the network admin-
istrator will provide this information.
Default:
192.168.0.1.

An Internet Protocol (IP) Address is a numerical label that uniquely identifies a device (host) connected to a
computer network that uses Internet Protocol as a communication protocol. An IP address basically performs two
main functions: it identifies a device on the network and consequently provides the path for it to reach another
device on the network.
17
The
sub-network mask
indicates the method used to define the given range for a host within an IP sub-network, in
order to reduce network traffic and assist in searching for and reaching a determined host with relevant sub-network
IP address.
18
A
gateway
is a network device whose main function is to carry network data packets outside to a local network
(LAN); the hardware device that implements this task is usually a router.
19
The
Domain Name System
(
DNS
) is a system used to break host names down into IP addresses and vice versa.
