Description
Providing much-needed flexibility, the ePAD™ 5.0 Mobile Keypad allows users to control their DMP security system
using an Internet browser. The ePAD communicates to the DMP panel through the Internet, an intranet, or your home
or commercial business local area network.
When the user performs a command at the ePAD, such as arming the system, the alarm panel arms, just as it would
from a standard keypad. Basically, the ePAD is an Internet keypad.
It is necessary to program your ePAD to communicate on your local
network. You may program your ePAD using the browser on your
computer or by connecting a DMP LCD Keypad directly to the ePAD.
You can assign a hyperlink to the panel User's Guide on a network so
users can easily access the User's Guide for their panel. A hyperlink
is text or an image that automatically opens the assigned Web page
or document when the user selects it. You may also assign other
hyperlinks, such as dealer Web sites, for use in the ePAD.
Compatibility
The ePAD can be used as an auxiliary keypad for XT30/XT50 Series
panels and XR100/XR500 Series panels.
What is Included
The ePAD includes the following items:
• One ePAD 5.0 Mobile Keypad
• One 4-wire harness to connect to the panel
• One 330 Programming Cable
What is Needed
The ePAD installer, or the network administrator for a commercial business installation, must provide the items
listed below. For later reference when programming, please enter the ePAD IP Addressing information in the spaces
provided. These instructions explain where to obtain the necessary information.
Broadband Connection
A constant broadband connection, such as DSL, cable modem, or T1, is required to allow a browser to contact the
ePAD through the Internet.
Network Cable
The ePAD needs to be connected to the network using a standard RJ45 Cat 5 patch cable. This is the same type of
cable used to connect other devices to an Ethernet 10BaseT or 100BaseT network. These cables are available in
various lengths and can be obtained at a local retail electronics outlet. Do NOT use a crossover cable.
Network Router
A router is required to connect the ePAD to the user's local network/Internet. For a commercial installation where
a network administrator is available, the network administrator provides the connection to the router. Otherwise,
an Ethernet Cable/DSL Router, such as a LinkSys or D-Link router, is required. These can be obtained at a local retail
electronics outlet.
Note: The router must be completely connected and running on the network before the ePAD can be connected
to the network and programmed. Refer to the ePAD Technical Note: Configuring your Router (LT-0670) for complete
information.

Figure 1: ePAD by Default in Web Browser What is Included The ePAD includes the following items: • One ePAD 5.0 Mobile Keypad • One 4-wire harness to connect to the panel • One 330 Programming Cable What is Needed The ePAD installer, or the network administrator for a commercial business installation, must provide the items listed below. - Page 2 Local IP Address: _________________________ The ePAD requires a static IP Address, such as 192.168.000.251, which is the ePAD default IP Address. This IP Address must be outside of the range of DHCP addresses supported by the router. The ePAD default IP Address is appropriate for most LinkSys and D-Link routers.
- Page 3 DNS IP Address: __________________________ A DNS (Domain Name Server) address is needed to allow the user to enter a domain name at their browser such as bill.virtualkeypad.com to access the ePAD instead of entering a numeric address. For a commercial installation, the network administrator may provide you the DNS IP Address.

If two administrators are logged on to the ePAD at the same time, conflicts may occur. - Page 6 Figure 6: ePAD System Options Page Upgrade Port The Upgrade Port is the connection port for remote software upgrade. This must match the settings you use in Remote Link for software update. Enter the port number to be used when upgrading the ePAD. The recommended range is 2000 through 65535.
- Page 7 Figure 7: Example of an ePAD System Options Page: Web Setup Section Web Page Setup The bottom half of the System Options Page, shown above, contains fields used to setup the ePAD Web page.
