Overview
To set up the security system in a customer premises:
1.
Complete a Home Security Survey (HSS) for the customer.
2.
Ensure the customer premise has access to the Internet.
3.
Activate the TouchScreen (see
Installing the Security System
on page 3).
The TouchScreen can connect to the managed router/modem either wirelessly or by Ethernet cable.
The TouchScreen communicates with sensors by radio frequency. Optional cameras communicate
with the uControl router wirelessly. The TouchScreen maintains communication with the uControl
servers through the Internet and by Cellular.
The uControl security network MUST be installed
“in front” o
f all other home networks relative to
the Internet.
Connect the customer’s home network to the Internet through the
security network
router by Ethernet cable as described on pages 11 and 14). The customer can install a retail router
behind the security network router and access the Internet. The customer can choose to expose their
retail router to the Internet through the DMZ of the security network router as described in the
TouchScreen User Guide
.
