Account Name/Number; Arc Ip Address; Communication Configuration - AddSecure IRIS-4 Technical Reference Manual

the 2-wire analog interface at the alarm panel and allows the terminal to indicate any status change to the
ARC.
The resistor must be fitted at the alarm panel end of the cable to enable the terminal to detect cable faults
and/or tampers correctly. The ARC will also need to enable the dial port monitoring (Panel) on the ISA
receiver software to receive alarm notifications on this status.
Alarm override
This allows the terminal to override and replace the phone and account numbers used by the alarm panel
with the IP address of the ARC and account number entered during configuration. It can be used for dial
port, serial or RS485 connection to alarm panels where you may not have access or cannot change the
account or phone number in the alarm panel itself. This can be useful when converting older alarm panel
sites to work with the IRIS-4 terminal.
Monitor serial
This sets the terminal to monitor the serial ports for activity and report any status changes back to the ARC.
The ARC will also need to enable the serial port monitoring on the ISA receiver software to receive alarm
notifications on this status.

Account name/number

The Account Name/Number screen is then automatically displayed.
To change the name, click «Change»
Enter the account (name/number) provided by the ARC, which can be
alphanumerical and up to 32 characters long. It is normal to have a simple 4- or
6-digit numerical account name. Click «Save».
The new value is then displayed. Click «Continue».

ARC IP address

The ARC IP address screen is then displayed. This address is obtained from the
ARC and would normally be the external IP address for their ISA system.
To change the IP address, click «Change» and enter the ARC IP address, then
click «Save». Confirm that the IP address is correct, then click «Continue».
Note: Only the primary/main ARC IP address needs to be entered on the
terminal, all backup or alternative IP addresses are downloaded from the
ARC to the terminal on the first polling communication.

Communication configuration

The Installation Wizard now goes through a sequence of setup and test options for each communication
path chosen, in this order; Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Cellular and PSTN. The sequences can vary depending on the
combination of paths chosen and the type of terminal being configured.
The sections immediately below (Test failure messages and Checking S/W version) describe items common
to more than one path.
