System Overview

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of Honeywell's IGSMHS4G High Security Internet and
GSM Communicator (henceforth referred to as IGSMHS4G). It represents the latest and
most innovative communication technology for the security industry and uses the most
sophisticated encryption to ensure the highest level of security for your customer.
The new 4G connectivity brings faster GSM data transfers with lower latency (response
time); together it results in speedier data transfers.
In addition to alarm reporting, the communicator provides upload/downloading capability of
Honeywell's control panel data over the Internet (via the AlarmNet-G network), using GSM
(Global System for Mobile) technology.

General Information

The IGSMHS4G communicates via the Internet (when service is available) and switches to
GSM service when the Internet is not available.
In normal operation (with Internet connectivity), the IGSMHS4G communicates from your
customer's network connection to the Honeywell Network Operations Center, (NOC) via the
AlarmNet-i network. The NOC receives data and routes the information to the Central
Station of your choice, based on the account number you assign to the communicator. Note
that your 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.
If, for some reason, Internet connectivity is not available, (for example, your customer's ISP
is off line or disconnected), the communicator will transmit signals via the AlarmNet-G
(GSM) cellular network, which uses the GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) to complete
these transmissions. These transmissions are sent to the Honeywell NOC and then
forwarded to your Central Station exactly the same way as if they were received via the
Internet.
If the Internet and GPRS (part of the GSM cellular network) are both unavailable (fail), the
message will not be sent from this communicator.
The communicator requires an AlarmNet–i account. For new installations, please obtain
the account information from the central station prior to programming this communicator.
For detailed information about enrolling the communicator and replacing communicators,
refer to the AlarmNet Direct Online Help Guide.
For maximum reliability, it is recommended the device be operated in dual path
mode with Internet and GSM both enabled and connected.
