Setup Multicom Smart Modem (Optional)
What is the Multicom Smart Modem (MSM)?
This is a time saving feature that gives you remote
configuration access to alarm panels while
attached to Upload/Download (U/D) enabled
Multicom Devices.
When an alarm panel has been upgraded
to a Multicom communicator, and PSTN is no
longer a reporting path, MSM allows traditional
U/D programming software to maintain
communication with the alarm system.
How does MSM work?
Once connected via the MSM, commands can be
issued from the U/D software as though connected
via a traditional PSTN path. When a connection is
detected on the virtual COM port, MSM will create
a tunnel to the alarm panel via the Surepoll Servers
and Multicom Device.
