Central Station needs to give you the account number. The same account number is used for both Internet and GSM transmissions. If your current Central Station is capable of receiving signals from the Honeywell NOC, they are capable of receiving signals from the communicator.
The communicator uses 256 bit AES (Rijndael) encryption (which is required for certain government installations). The AlarmNet-i AES Encryption Software Module Version 1.0 contained in the Honeywell products has NIST approval. Listings for this approval can be found at http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/aes/aesval.html and search for “Certification number...

Input Power: (Honeywell transformer # 1361 included.) Current Drain: 220mA standby, 380mA active 6V, 3.1AH, (Honeywell # K14139 included.) Backup Battery: Expected Battery Life: 5 Years (approx.) Note: The sealed lead acid battery used for backup will have reduced life expectancy when exposed to elevated temperatures.
For UL installations, compatible control panels are: For UL installations, any UL Listed control panel may be used. Note, that any control panel that does not communicate via Honeywell’s ECP data bus is compatible using the commu- nicator’s Zone Trigger mode.

IGSMHS4G Installation and Setup Guide Mounting the Communicator The cover must be secured with the supplied screw. 1. Locate the case back over selected mounting position such that the opening in the case back is aligned with the wire / cable opening on the mounting surface. 2.
Setup Guide for the control panel you are using to see if it supports ECP communication. Connect the communicator to a compatible Honeywell VISTA control panel's ECP terminals, in parallel with keypads and other peripheral devices such as RF receiver, VIP module, etc.
IGSMHS4G Installation and Setup Guide Wiring for Zone Trigger Mode To trip a zone using a positive trigger, the voltage level must be: 6V or greater = positive trigger. (Levels above +14V may cause damage to the unit.) 4V or less = restore. To trip a zone using a negative trigger, the voltage level must be: 4V or less = negative trigger.
Section 2: Mounting and Wiring Wiring the Fault Relay You may wire and program the communicator's fault output trigger for fail-safe mode (see the prompt "FLT REL ON Y/N"). To sense a communicator fault at the control panel, see the figure below and make the following connections.
IGSMHS4G Installation and Setup Guide Power Connections and Options Powering the Communicator For a standard installation, primary power is provided by the AC plug-in transformer. For ECP communication, you must also connect the +12VDC AUX voltage output of the control panel (9.6V-13.8V typical) see below.
Section 2: Mounting and Wiring • If system power is restored before the communicator shuts down, a power restore message is sent within 1-3 hours after power is restored, and the battery is recharged using the communicator’s built-in battery charger. If system power is restored after the commu- nicator has shut down, a power-on reset condition exists, the communicator initializes itself and the battery will recharge.

) indicates whether the prompt applies to that mode. 4204 Emulation Mode In 4204 Emulation Mode, the IGSMHS4G communicates with a compatible Honeywell VISTA series or First Alert control panel as though it were a 4204 Relay Module. If two 4204s are enabled in the communicator, it acts as two 4204s at consecutive device addresses.
IGSMHS4G Installation and Setup Guide 4204 Emulation Mode Options For control panels that do not support ECP communication, the 4204 Emulation modes provide a means of sending up to eight unique reports based on defined system conditions. In 4204 mode, the communicator functions as a logical 4204 Relay Module, where each relay number, referred to in the communicator as zone number, can be programmed to send a report based on the output function programmed in the control panel for that relay.
