VISTA-GSM4G Module Installation

General Information

The VISTA-GSM4G is an optional communication module and provides cellular radio
communication with the AlarmNet network for delivery of alarm and other messages to the
monitoring central station, and allows upload/download via the Internet using GSM technology
in combination with Compass Downloading Software.
The VISTA-GSM4G module's parameters are programmed using the control's *29 Menu mode.
IMPORTANT! This device requires activation of its SIM card. See the SIM Activation Note in
the Registering the Control with AlarmNet section later in this manual for the procedure.

Connection to the Internet can be made via hardwired high speed Internet connection
and/or via an optional on-board VISTA-GSM4G module (using the wireless GSM digital
cellular network). Use ∗29 Menu mode to program various internet reporting and
supervision options.
Hardwire Internet Connection: Connect an active Ethernet cable (with RJ45
connector) to the IP connector on the upper left corner of the control board. The control
must be registered before internet communication can occur. Refer to the Registering the
Control section for details.
IMPORTANT! (1) Use of the Internet connection (hardwire or VISTA-GSM4G module)
requires an AlarmNet–I account. If an account for the control does not yet exist, please
obtain the account information from the central station prior to programming this module.
(2) The control must be registered with AlarmNet before normal operation. See
Registering the Control with AlarmNet section for registration procedures.
When the internet connection is active, the Network LEDs have the following functions:
IP (web) Network LED Functions
LED Color LED
Top Green Ethernet Link/Activity
Middle Green Link Speed
Yellow Network Collision
VISTA-GSM4G module: See VISTA-GSM4G module Installation below.
IMPORTANT! Disconnect power from the control, including the battery, BEFORE installing the
VISTA-GSM4G module.
CAUTION: ESD SENSITIVE DEVICE. To discharge any static buildup, briefly touch a chassis
ground point before installing this module. Avoid performing this installation while standing on a
carpeted floor.
a. Push the three standoffs into the appropriate holes on the VISTA-21iP control board
until they snap into place.
b. Carefully align the VISTA-GSM4G board over the standoffs and the mating connector,
then, one at a time, gently push down on the board near each standoff until it snaps
into place and the connector is fully seated.
c. After installation, affix the "Contains Transmitter Module" label (800-13423) to the
outside surface of the control panel cabinet so it is visible.
