Galaxy Programming Manual
56 - Communications (cont'd)
The Ethernet module allows the Galaxy control panel to communicate over Ethernet local and wide area
networks, using both UDP and TCP Ethernet protocols. The Ethernet module supports both alarm signalling
and remote servicing. Features included in the Ethernet module communications are data encryption and path
supervision between the Ethernet module and alarm receiving applications.
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 recognise 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.
02 = Alarm Reporting
This option allows selection of the alarm signalling 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 signalling format of the receiver and has the following two formats:
1 = 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 Galaxy events indicated in Appendix C of this manual.
