Settings
The options in the Settings menu vary for the different product types. Each option can be selected
individually (there is no sequence as in the Installation Wizard),
6.1
Network interfaces
This option lets you select the communication paths to be used for polling and alarms on a multipath IRIS-4
terminal. There are several options:
Ethernet
For 160: Wi-Fi
Cellular (Machine-to-machine data (M2M))
For 4xx: PSTN (PSTN expansion board required)
6.2
Account name/number
This option lets you change the account name/number for the terminal, as
allocated by the ARC.
Enter the account (name/number) provided by the ARC, which can be alphanumerical and up to 32
characters long. A simple 4- or 6-digit numerical account name is adequate. Click «save».
6.3
ARC IP address
This is obtained from the ARC and would normally be the external IP address for their ISA receiver system.
This option lets you change it if needed.
Enter the external IP address for the ARC receiver and click «Save».
Note: Only the primary, or main ARC IP address, needs to be entered, all backup or alternative IP
addresses are downloaded from the ARC to the terminal in the first polling communication.
6.4
Eth 1: For terminals with Ethernet capability
If your terminal has one Ethernet connector, this will be called “Dialler IP
Address”. This allows you to set up the IP address of the terminal to use either
automatic (DHCP) or a fixed IP address. The settings below will show the IP
address either received (DHCP mode) or, if fixed will, let you set the IP address,
Subnet Mask and Gateway:
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Gateway
Mac Address (view only)
6.5
Eth 2: For terminals with dual Ethernet capability
By default, the Eth 2 connector is a shared Ethernet port with Eth 1 acting like a
switch.
If you require the Eth 2 connection to be separate to Eth 1, make sure “Eth 1/2
Switch” is not ticked.
