1.2. Overview

The IRIS range of alarm diallers allow users to migrate intruder alarm systems
away from traditional PSTN communications to IP based and/or wireless
networks, without the need to upgrade or replace the alarm system.

The majority of intruder alarm systems which are configured to make alarm calls
to a central monitoring station use the traditional PSTN analogue network as the
communications path. However, PSTN is becoming increasingly unsuitable as
users move to IP and Voice over IP (VoIP) for their fixed networks or rely purely
on mobile (GSM and GPRS) communications. In addition most PSTN service
providers are migrating to VoIP networks, so in the not too distant future PSTN
lines may be withdrawn.

The IRIS dialler range is unique in offering a quick and cost effective way to
interface any existing alarm system to alternative networks such as GSM,
Ethernet and GPRS. As a result of the flexibility and power of IRIS it has
become the IP transmission system of choice for monitoring centres across
Europe.

The IRIS 400 series is intended to be used with alarm panels that have
sufficient space inside their enclosures for the IRIS dialler to be fitted. There are
three diallers in the range:

IRIS Touch 400 - GPRS
IRIS Touch 420 - Ethernet
IRIS Touch 440 - Ethernet & GPRS

The IRIS Touch dialler should be located within the alarm panel tamper
protected enclosure and powered from the alarm panel battery backed power
supply.
