Mounting the Communicator
This communicator comes fully assembled, except for the antenna.
The communicator must be installed within M2M FC08 Enclosure for Cellular
Alarm Communicators, Altronix BC300R, or any other UL Listed (UOXX, NITW
or CYIV) metal enclosure. All the wiring must be routed through a conduit.
For UL installations, the communicator must be mechanically secured to a UL
Listed enclosure such as a UL Listed junction box.
For detailed mounting and installation instructions refer to the extended
manual located at https://www.m2mservices.com/support/
Connecting the device via LAN
If the device is connected to a local area network with DHCP enabled, it will
automatically get a dynamic IP address. External IP address or router port
redirections are NOT needed. If required, static IP can be configured from
M2M portal >> Device Dashboard >> LAN Settings.
Programming
Out of the box the communicator is ready to use and does not require
additional programming. You need to program the control panel to work with
the MQ03-LTE-M-FIRE-AV-V2.
Programming the Control Panel
For information about how to program the control panel, please refer to the
corresponding control panel guide. Ensure that the following programming
is done:
• Enable the PSTN dialer of the FACP.
• Select DTMF mode.
• Select Contact ID, SIA or Pulse* 4/2 communication format.
• Enter a telephone number for dialing (you can use any number, e.g.,
999999)
• Enter a 4-digit account number
*
Pulse 4/2 reporting requires additional configuration in the
M2M portal >> Device Dashboard >> Dial Capture
Troubleshooting
If you have issues receiving the events:
1. Verify the RING/TIP connection
• Make sure the RING and TIP terminals are connected to a TELCO ring and
tip, not R-1/T-1 terminals.
