GPRS communicator for alarm control panels, which converts the Contact ID
communication into SIA IP format and forwards the events towards the monitoring
station’s receiver using IP channel over mobile GPRS network. Can be used with any
alarm system which is able to report to monitoring station in Contact ID format using
PSTN landline. Using the adapter, the alarm control panel’s signals are sent to the
monitoring station’s IP receiver over the GPRS network, using SIA IP protocol based on
ANSI/SIA DC-09-2007 standard. No need for a central server, only an IP receiver with
internet connection is necessary. The module operates with the TELLMon and any other
receiver which supports the SIA IP protocol mentioned above. Recognition of the
receiver and switching between the SIA IP and TELLMon protocol is done automatically
upon connecting to the receiver, thereby configuring the communication protocol is not
necessary.
2 Functions
Converting Contact ID format and event reporting in SIA IP format
Supports receiver-side static IP and domain as well
Backup Contact ID communication over GSM voice call in case of an IP error
Forwards incoming SMS messages
Settings can be configured by PC software or SMS
Possibility to send supervision test report to multiple IP address for continuous
monitoring of the connections
Evaluates and shows estimated data traffic
The programming software and manual are available on the internal memory of the
device which acts as a USB drive
Basically, reporting can be realized in two ways: over mobile internet using SIA IP based
communication, or as a backup option, over GSM voice call towards a switched-line
DTMF receiver. If the alarm control panel dials one of the numbers assigned to an IP
address, reporting will be done over mobile internet. If the alarm control panel dials a
number which is not defined in the module, or a number configured at the GSM call
filtering option, reporting will be done over GSM voice call.
