Features

  • Listed under UL ® Standard 864, 9th Edition.
  • Operates with the Gamewell-FCI's E3 Series panels equipped with DACT-E3 units and GF505/GF510 Flex Series Systems.
  • Saves the cost of two dedicated phone lines. Only the customer's shared IP equipment is required.
  • Provides compatibility to newer low-cost, non-analog, digital telephone services such as cable, or fiber optics.
  • Increases connection supervision to the Central Station from the once-a-day test signal to once every 90 seconds.
  • Requires no change to the existing panel configuration. The IP Communicator connects directly to the primary and secondary analog panel telephone ports.
  • Produces fast alarm transmission (less than 10 second transmission time).
  • Performs over any type of customer-provided Ethernet 10/100Base network connection (LAN or WAN), DSL modem or cable modem.
  • Transmits data over standard Contact-ID protocol but is secured with the industry's highest level of encryption (AES 512 bit).
  • Supports both dynamic (DHCP) or Public and Private Static IP addressing.
  • Maintains dual-destination IP receiver address for high redundancy configurations: all signals are sent to a sec- ondary address should the primary become unavail- able.
  • Offers user programmable UDP ports for flexibility and compatibility with firewalls and other network security components. IPDACT-2

9021-60504 Rev. E page 2 of 2 www.gamewell-fci.com Programming Options: To configure the IPDACT-2, the following three (3) options are available:

  • Use a HyperTerminal or TeraTerm software program
  • Local or Remote Telnet session via an Ethernet connection.
  • Windows ®-based configuration software (shipped with the IP Communicator). Note: It is possible to pre-program the IP Communicator at the panel before the installation. To pre-program the IP Communicator, the following is done: 1. An auto-registration password is entered (along with all other Central Station information) and saved in the unit's flash memory. 2. When the IP Communicator is installed at the site and connected to the Internet/Intranet, it auto-registers with the Central Station receiver. 3. This feature eliminates the need to program from a PC at the remote site. 4. The IP Receiver at the mo nitoring station will automat- ically configure other parameters during registration. For most installations, the only parameters required are as follows:
  • Selection of either DHCP or Static IP
  • Destination primary and secondary receiver IP addresses
  • Account identification number (CID)
  • Port number
  • Installation password Installation Requirements To install the IDPDACT-2, the following criteria are required:
  • Mounted locally next to the supported fire alarm control panel.
  • The Central Station must be equipped with a compatible VisorALARM PLUS™ IP receiver
  • At least 136mA of electrical power available from the power supply to use for the IPDACT-2 unit.
  • Ethernet network connection (ITE-listed router/gate- way).
  • It is recommended to use a small UPS, to provide backup power for customer-provided router/switch/ modem.
  • Dynamic or static IP add ress (dynamic addressing requires DHCP server present on the local network. Note: DSL and cable modems typically use dynamic addressing as supplied by network providers).
  • UDP port for IP communicat ion with the monitoring sta- tion (default port: 80 may be changed by the Central Station).
  • Destination IP addresses of the IP receivers where the IP Communicator will be sending alarms and other events (If installed on a private Intranet, the gateway address of the public router will be required to allow the IP card to access the Internet and the public router at the Central Station).
  • Panel account ID number (CID).
  • Installer password (provided by the monitoring station managing the IP receiver). Specifications Operating Voltage: 24VDC Operating Temperature: Not to exceed the range of 32°C to 120°C (0 to 49°C) Relativity Humidity: Not to exceed 93% non-con- densing at 90°F (32°C)
