CM368B
Introduction
The CM368B 4G CAT-1 IP Communication Module allows
you to interface compatible security control panels to the
cellular data network providing a high reliability reporting
path. The module includes a wired Ethernet port provid-
ing a dual path reporting solution.
The CAT 1 network is widely supported by all carriers
however if the unit is being installed in a remote location,
you should insure the carrier you are using has sufficient
coverage (signal) for reliable performance. SIM's must be
on a plan that includes a data allowance.
The unit is installed onto the main control panel using
the supplied plastic standoffs, while the supplied antenna
should be mounted onto the outside of the metal cabinet.

Getting Started
There are four main steps required to configure the
CM368B for reporting to the control room. The instruc-
tions assume that you already have purchased a SIM card
and that the card has been charged with credit and acti-
vated on the network if necessary.
1. Install the SIM card into the lower card socket. (SIM1)
2. Install the CM368B hardware on the control panel.
3. Install the antenna.
4. Configure the module's features and parameters.
5. Configure the control panel for reporting.

Step 1 - Installing the Radio Module
Ensure that the panel is powered off before proceeding.
Plug the 2 short plastic standoffs into the module and
then plug it onto the Expansion Port header pins on the
panel as shown in.
Install the SIM card into the SIM 1 card position.
Step 2 - Installing the Antenna
Remove the knockout in the top of the cabinet and pass
the antenna lead through the hole ensuring the antenna
is on the outside of the cabinet. Screw the lead to the
socket on the radio module before power the panel.
Do not fix the antenna in place at this stage.
Step 3 - Configuring The Module
Connect the Ethernet port to the customers network us-
ing the cable supplied or other suitable cable.
Step 4 - Configuring The Module
Once powered the radio will attempt to connect to the
network. This may take up to a minute to complete. Dur-
ing this time the online indicator on the module will be on
solid. Once the radio has registered the online indicator
will begin to flash and the signal strength indicators will
show the current signal condition.
Experiment with the position of the antenna to find the
best signal strength before fixing it in place.
Step 5 - Configuring The Panel Reporting
Reporting configuration will vary depending on the re-
quired options and whether or not the GSM module is to
be used as the primary or secondary reporting route.
Configure the required reporting formats in MENU 5-4-0
and 5-4-1. The system can be configured to report to the
