    Internet connection. The Alpha Vision IP (+ GPRS) transceiver hardware is identical to the PSTN-2-IP (GPRS) transceiver but is specifically designed for the Alpha Vision NG/96 control panels. The AlphaVision IP (+ GPRS) has an RS-485 bus connection and no PSTN interface and can therefore only be used in combination with Alphatronics control panels.

    Back-up systems connection the PSTN interface is only available in the AlphaCom PSTN-2-IP & PSTN-2-IP GPRS. the serial connection is reserved for special applications and is not part of the standard IP (+ GPRS) transceiver specifications. Service manual AlphaCom PSTN-2-IP (GPRS) transceiver Rev.

  • Page 6: Settings According To Local Requirements

    The AlphaVision IP transceiver does not have a PSTN input but only contains a RS-485 bus connection. The Alpha Vision IP + GPRS transceiver is technically the same as the PSTN-2-IP GPRS but as loose prints plug supplied for Alphatronics plants and does not have a PSTN input but only on an RS-485 bus connector.

    ADSL connection. The consequence of this is that the security alarm system no longer will be able to send its messages in a reliable way to the monitoring station. By using for instance a AlphaCom PSTN-2-IP transceiver, the existing alarm installation can still be used and the alarm messages can be sent reliably to the monitoring station using an Internet connection.

  • Page 9: Hardware Installation

    If the IP (+ GPRS) transceiver is used in combination with a Alphatronics CP-508LCD or NG control panel equipped with a RS-485 connection the transceiver can be connected to the RS-485 bus. Use the 4 blue terminal blocks (+, A, B, O).

    Figure 4: AlphaVision IP (+ GPRS) transceiver circuit board layout The AlphaCom PSTN-2-IP, AlphaCom PSTN-2-IP GPRS and AlphaVision IP + GPRS transceiver can be powered in two ways: with the RJ10 connection (net adapter art. code 200079) or directly on the + and 0V terminals of the RS-485 bus connection.

  • Page 11: Pstn Tamper Loop

    PSTN tamper loop The AlphaCom PSTN-2-IP (GPRS) transceiver is equipped with an option to monitor the cable connection between the analog dialer of a control panel and the PSTN input. To use this option jumper J19 must placed across pins 1 and 2. The outer 2 wires (1 and 4) of the telephone cable are used. Both wires 1 and 4 should be connected together on the side of the dialer in the control panel.
  • Page 12 IP connection with the monitoring station fails. If a back-up transmission path is required or requested it is advised to the PSTN-2-IP GPRS (art. code 003612) transceiver. The integrated GSM module will transmit data packages via GPRS (IP over GSM) to the monitoring station if the LAN connection fails.

  • Page 13: Programming Via The Web-Browser

    PROGRAMMING VIA THE WEB-BROWSER The IP (+ GPRS) transceiver can be used with a static (fixed) or a dynamic (DHCP) IP address. Alphatronics offers a free ‘IP Discovery’ tool to localize Alphatronics IP products on the internal network, display them and then open the standard web browser on your computer / laptop to be able to access the programming.

  • Page 18 In all other cases the IP transceiver can be triggered via the "PSTN" interface. In foreign ( non Alphatronics ) control panels the IP transceiver can be only be controlled using the ‘PSTN’ input. Only the AlphaCom PSTN -IP ( GPRS ) transceiver and AlphaCom XL (GPRS) have a 'PSTN' input , the AlphaVision IP and AlphaVision IP + GPRS transceivers only have a RS- 485 bus connector.

    Configuration method The PSTN-2-IP (GPRS) is by default configured as DHCP. This means, that the PSTN-2-IP (GPRS) obtains an IP address from the DHCP server in the router. By using the IP Discovery tool the obtained IP address can be found easily.

  • Page 23: Webserver Configuration

    When the name of the provider is displayed (for example NL KPN) this means that the GPRS connection is established and GPRS is used by the AlphaCom PSTN-2-IP GPRS. ‘Not in use’ means the GPRS connection was established during the last session but the connection is not in use by the AlphaCom PSTN-2-IP GPRS.

    After start-up, the green LED 4 (OP2) will start flashing. This indicates that the hardware on the board functions correctly. On a PSTN-2-IP (GPRS) also the red LED next to the PRIO relay on the PSTN interface circuit will illuminate. This LED indicates that the CMK input from the analog dialer of the control panel is connected to the TEL connection and the PSTN backup output is activated.
