Chapter 3. Installation of the device Easy 2 For the installation follow the next steps. 3.1 Installation steps The device needs protection against unathorized access and wheather conditions. As usual in the security and safety area, that used to place into the security alarm system case or fixed closed to the alarm system to a protected area.
Page 19
Let’s wiring the cables of the monitored input to the required terminal blocks (wire pair) of it (IN1, IN2 title for the input lines) and the output to the OUT titled wire pair. The alarm center has to be wired to the alarm input line (ALR titled). You can setup the meaning of the input line with the jumpers behind the input lines (JP1, JP2).
3.2 Turning on the device When starting the device the next steps are executed: o When the power voltage given the devices turns on. The green PWR LED flashing for a short time, and for a moment the MDM RDY LED also flashes, which signs that the GSM modem was started.
Example for appropriate operation and successful GPRS communication PWR LED lights (green), STA LED (yellow) sometimes blinks, the GSM LED (red) flashes the GSM signal strength value (between 1 and 8) 3.3 Possible problems 1. When the STA (yellow) and GSM (red) LEDs are bilinking together at the same time then it signes SIM card failure.
Page 22
Malfunction – signed by the LED signals (the GSM and the STAT signed LEDs are blinking together and continuously) ATTENTION When the input or output line wiring is not properly connected or wired the LED signals will not sign the wire problems. The inout/output line LEDs will be continuously lighting IN1, IN2, OUT and ALR titled LEDs), when the wiring was properly done.
Chapter 4. Installing the system software 4.1 Computer connection a.) In case of using USB port When using the converter cable (this is not included in the package), the driver necessary for operating the device via this cable has to be downloaded and installed. ATTENTION It is important that at this time neither the Easy device, nor the USD connector be connected to the computer!
Because of this, please, check which COM ports are the actual serial port connection points. 4.2 Downloading the software components The accessories necessary for software uploading can be found on the website of WM Rendszerház, within Downloads / M2M Easy 2 Security Communicator: http://www.m2mserver.com/en/downloads...
Predefined configuration setups for the device. Upload it with the help of the ® EasyTerm program. File: EASY2_V21R01_CFG_EN.cfg c.) Easy 2 Firmware – Easy 2 system software (.BIN) The device can operate with this system software. Download from the website and ® EasyTerm always update to the latest available version.
Perform connecting and wiring according to the steps previously shown to the terminal blocks (input, output, power, etc.). If it’s necessary connect the alarm system phone line TIP-RING connector to the ALR input line. Easy 2 Place a SIM card activated with a data package into the device.
