Communications Menu
Page 94
Silent
If the system is unset, the display indicates a telephone line fault, the LEDs around
the navigation key glow red, and the control unit logs the event. The system may be
set again with the line fault present.
If the system is set, the control unit does not give any indication or tone but does log
the event. The control unit cancels any programmed siren delay if the line is out of
order when an alarm occurs.
Disabled
The control unit does not monitor the telephone line.
Line Fail Delay
Use this option to specify the length of time the control unit waits after detecting a line-fail
fault on a communications path from the control unit before it generates an alert, actives
communications and activates line-fail outputs. You can specify different settings for the
different communication methods.
Note:
The control unit may take a few seconds to recognise a line fail. The actual delay
between line fail and the resulting alert will be slightly longer than the value you specify.
IP Network (Own)
This menu allows you to configure settings related to the Ethernet port of the control unit.
Note:
Remember that changes are not saved until you exit the Installer menu.
Web Server
This controls the availability of the control unit’s built-in web interface.
Status
Set to Enabled to enable the interface.
IP Port Number
This is the port that the control unit uses for the interface. The default is 80.
VKP Instant
This option is available only if
Status
is set to Enabled. Set
VKP Instant
to Enabled to
enable the virtual keypad, known as the Virtual Keypad Instant or VKP Instant. When
enabled, anyone on the network can access the virtual keypad through a web
browser using the url: “https://[panel IP address:4433]/keypad.cgi”. For example,
“http://198.168.0.100:4433/keypad.cgi”.
The virtual keypad allows users to perform the same functions as at the control unit,
providing they have a valid access code.
Note:
The browser must have cookies enabled for the virtual keypad to work
correctly.
The Installer access code can use the virtual keypad only when the system is
completely unset.
VKP Instant
is designed for use on PCs, mobile devices and tablets.
Downloader
You can use this option to specify the port that the control unit uses for Downloader over
IP. The default is 55132.
