The Ethernet module allows the GX-Series control panel to communicate over Ethernet local and wide area
networks, using both UDP and TCP Ethernet protocols. The Ethernet module supports both alarm signaling
and remote servicing. The Ethernet module communications also includes path supervision between the
Ethernet module and alarm receiving applications.
56.4.01 Module Config
Each Ethernet module is pre-programmed with a unique MAC address, which identifies the module on the
network. However in order for the module to communicate with other applications an IP address should be
assigned to the unit. The information programmed in this section is required for other applications on the
network to recognize the Ethernet module.
1 = IP Address
This is the IP address of the Ethernet module. This must be a unique, static IP address. The address will
be in the form XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX. The dot separator will be automatically added after each sequence of
three numbers or can be manually added by pressing the * key.
An example of a valid IP address is 192.0.1.152.
This address should be provided by your IT administrator
2 = Site Name
This option is not used at this time
3 = Gateway IP
When using the Ethernet module over a wide area network the IP address of the gateway router
connected to the Ethernet local area network must be entered in this field. The format of this address is
identical to the IP address of the Ethernet module.
This information should be supplied by the IT administrator
4 = Network Mask
The network mask identifies the class of network being used. This field masks off the parts of the
gateway IP address which, are common and not required for specific identification of the Ethernet
module.
This information should be supplied by the IT administrator.
56.4.02 = Alarm Reporting
This option allows selection of the alarm signaling format used to transmit the events. This option also
controls the types of events, which are sent and the destination/identification for each independent group.
1 = Format
This is the signaling format of the receiver and has the following two formats:
SIA (0-4) Security Industries Association
The SIA format can be programmed between levels 0 and 4 and provides a protocol that transmits
detailed information including textual descriptors, to a SIA compatible receiver or PC loaded with
suitable receiver software.
The SIA format is capable of transmitting the GX-Series events indicated in Appendix D of this
manual. Refer to Appendix C of this manual for the detailed breakdown of the SIA event structure
for each level.
On selecting the SIA format, the keypad prompts for the required SIA level to be entered, there are
five SIA levels available:
•
Level 0 (default) – basic event information with 4 digit account numbers
•
1 – as level 0 plus 6 digit account numbers
•
2 – as level 1 but with event modifiers
•
– as level 2 but with text descriptors
•
– as level 3 but also enables the SIA control command feature (refer option 08 SIA control)
1 = Trigger Events
When the SIA level has been selected press the ent key. The keypad displays the first trigger event
and it's On/Off status (see table 6-25 for the list of available triggers, and Appendix B for the
events which are controlled by each trigger). The triggers control the events, which are transmitted.
