2Overview

The ITS-DX4020-G enables two-way IP or dialed communication over a commercial GPRS /
GSM network. Typical applications are event reporting to a central monitoring station and
remote access to Bosch intrusion control panels. For a list of compatible control panels, refer
to Section 1.4 Control Panel Compatibility, page 6.
For installations using a PSTN receiver, the ITS-DX4020-G uses GSM to dial the receiver and
communicate using Contact ID.

2.3 Modes of Operation

NOTICE!

The IP over GPRS Mode requires a data plan enabled SIM from a cellular provider.

The ITS-DX4020-G supports two modes of operation. Refer to Table 2.1 for a description of
each mode.

IP over GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) Mode

Overview:

This mode provides a wireless IP connection over the GPRS network.
The control panel supervises the communication path through the ITS-DX4020-G either by
control panel heartbeats, or by periodic test reports.

Wiring connections:

Connect the bus terminals on the control panel and the ITS-DX4020-G.
Refer to Figure 3.3, Page 14.

Supported control panels:

Refer to Section 1.4 Control Panel Compatibility, page 6.

Tab le 2 .1 IP over GPRS Mode of Operation

PSTN (Contact ID) over GSM

Overview:

This mode:
– Provides a GSM dial-out option for installation sites where GPRS service is not

available or a Conettix receiver is not available
– Supports only the Contact ID reporting format
NOTICE: For control panels that detect a dial tone before dialing, disable dial tone
detection. The ITS-DX4020-G supplies phone voltage of 22 - 25 VDC and US dial tone
frequencies (350 Hz+ 440 Hz).

Wiring connections:

Connect the R (Ring) and T (Tip) phone terminals from the control panel to the PNL/PSTN
terminals on the ITS-DX4020-G.
Refer to Figure 3.4, Page 15

Supported control panels:

All. Refer to Section 1.4 Control Panel Compatibility, page 6.

Tab le 2 .2 PSTN (Contact ID) over GSM Mode

Dual Wireless Mode (Default Mode)

Overview:

This mode combines the IP over GPRS and PSTN (Contact ID) over GSM modes.

Wiring connections:

– Connect the bus terminals on the control panel and the ITS-DX4020-G.
– Connect the R (Ring) and T (Tip) phone terminals from the control panel to the

PNL/PSTN terminals on the ITS-DX4020-G.
Refer to Figure 3.5, Page 16.

Supported control panels:

Easy Series (firmware version 3.0 or later).

2.4 Configuration Options

You can configure the ITS-DX4020-G using one of two methods:
– Short Message Service (SMS). Refer to Section 4.1 Use Short Message Service (SMS) to

Configure the ITS-DX4020-G, page 18.
– USB user interface. Refer to Section 4.2 Use USB to Configure the ITS-DX4020-G, page 21.
You can configure in one of three different modes, depending on the control panel. For a list
of modes allowed by the different control panels, refer to Table 4.1, Page 18.

NOTICE!

The configuration options provide temporary connections to the ITS-DX4020-G for
configuration purposes only. They are not intended for long-term, or permanent, connection.

3 Installation

3.1 Installation Prerequisites

Before you install the ITS-DX4020-G, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
– Before installing the ITS-DX4020-G in an existing system, inform the operator and local

authority.

– Before installing the ITS-DX4020-G, disconnect all system power (AC and standby

battery).

– If you are mounting the ITS-DX4020-G in a separate enclosure, ensure that all external

wiring does not exceed 1.6 ohms: 30.5 m (100 ft) of 0.64 mm (22 AWG) or 61 m (200 ft)
of 1.02 mm (18 AWG) wire. Refer to Section 1.2 Technical Specifications, page 5, for

optional enclosures (if required).
– Separate power-limited wiring from non-power-limited wiring by 6.4 mm (0.25 in).
– Contact the central monitoring station for destination IP address and port number

settings. Provide the central monitoring station with the poll rate setting.

NOTICE!

Depending on the SIM card used, first-time registration of the SIM card might take up to 3
minutes to complete. During this time, the signal levels displayed by the signal strength LEDS
might fluctuate.

3.3 Mount the ITS-DX4020-G in the Control Panel Enclosure

Refer to Figure 3.2, Page 13.

1. Mount the ITS-DX4020-G into the control panel's enclosure using the supplied mounting
screws.
Use any of the standard three-hole mounting patterns on the control panel’s enclosure. If
necessary, remove the three knockouts.If necessary, use the D137 Mounting Bracket (not
supplied) to mount the ITS-DX4020-G on the control panel enclosure.

2. Place the magnetic antenna in the vertical position on the top of the control panel
enclosure or other metal surface.

NOTICE!

The antenna must be placed on a magnetic metal surface for proper operation.
For best performance, ensure that the surface area extends 10 cm (4 in.) or more in all
directions around the antenna.

3. Connect the antenna cable to the ITS-DX4020-G.
