Pre Installation Configuration
Encryption
The communicator uses 128 Bit AES encryption. Encryption can only be enabled from the monitoring station receiver. Each
receiver (Ethernet 1 and 2) can independentlyhave encryption enabled or disabled. When encryption is enabled, the central
station will configure the device to encrypt communicationsthe next time the communicator module performs a communication
to that receiver.
NOTE: Packets will start being encrypted only after the nextevent issent to that receiver, or ifthe unit is restarted.

This Ethernet communicator shall be installed byservice persons only(service person is defined asa person having the appropriate technical training and experience necessary to be aware of hazards to which that person may be exposed to in performing a task and can also take measures to minimize the risks to that person or other persons). The Communicator shall be
installed and used within an environmentthat providesthe pollution degree max2, overvoltages category II,in non-hazardous,
indoor locations only. This manual shall be used with the installation manual of the panel which is connected to the communicator.All instructions specified within the panel manual must be observed.
All the local rules imposed by local electrical codesshall be observed and respected during installation.
Installing the Ethernet Cable
A Category5 (CAT 5) Ethernet cable must be run from a source with Internet connectivity to the communicator module, inside
the panel. The communicator end of the cable mustbe terminated with an RJ45 plug, which will connectto the communicator’s
RJ45 jack after the communicator isinstalled. All requirementsfor installation ofCAT5 Ethernet cable mustbe observed for correct operation ofthe communicator, including, but not limited to,the following:
l Do NOT strip offcable sheathing more than required for proper termination.
l Do NOT kink/knot cable.
l Do NOT crush cable with cable ties.
l Do NOT untwistCAT5 pairsmore than ½in. (1.2cm).
l Do NOT splice cable.
l Do NOT bend cable atright angles or make anyother sharp bends.
NOTE: CAT5 specification requires that any cable bend must have a minimum 2 in. (5 cm) bend radius. Maximum length of
CAT 5 cable is 328 ft.(100 m).
Running the RS-232 Cable (R models only)
When installing the communicator for use with 3rd party applications an RS-232 cable must be connected between the 3rd
party device and the communicator module.
NOTE: Maximum cable length for RS-232 cable is 8 ft.(2.4 m).
Please refer to the installation manual for the 3rd party device for wiring instructions.

Install Network Cable
1. Route the CAT5 Ethernet cable through backof the panel and plug it into the communicator’s RJ45 jack.
2. Perform the following stepsfor initial power on of the panel with communicator installed:
a. Reconnectthe AC power, telephone line, and battery+ connector to the panel.
(The communicator and panel will power up together).
b. Observe that the communicator’s red and yellow LEDsare flashing together while itinitializes.The red and yellow
LEDs will continue to flash until the communicator has successfully communicated to all programmed receivers. If this
is the first time the communicator hasbeen powered up, the module will not be able to initiate communication untilit
has been programmed.
NOTE: Initialization maytake several minutes to complete. Red and yellow LEDswill flash together during initialization. Do not
continue to nextstep until the red and yellow LEDs have stopped flashing. (If onlythe yellowLED is flashing, there is a
communicator trouble). Correct trouble indicated by flashes on yellow LED before continuing. (for troubleshooting
assistance see Table 6 ).

Communicator Troubles displayed on a HS2016/2032/2064/2128
The communication trouble is the only trouble thatwill appear on the keypad Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) when encountered
by a communicator installed in a HS2016/2032/2064/2128. For more information about the trouble on the communicator module refer to the panel eventbuffer or by accessing *2 to viewthe individual trouble types.Log entrywill showFault or Restore for

Communicator Status LEDs
The communicator has 2 on-board LED indicators:a yellow trouble LED and ared network connection statusLED.
Yellow Trouble LED
This yellow LED will flash to indicate a trouble on the unit. The number of flashes indicates the type of trouble. See the table

The following paragraphs describe the conditions associated with the trouble indicated:
Panel Supervision Trouble (2 Flashes)
This trouble will be indicated when communication between the communicator module and the panel fails. Ifthe module can
not communicatewith the panel (e.g., loss of power to the panel) the communicator will send the ‘Panel Absent Trouble Event’
message to the central station receiver. When communication returns, a ‘Panel Absent Restore Event’ is sent by the communicator to the central station receiver. The reporting codes are ET0001 for trouble and ER0001 for restore. The panel
absent event always uses the primary receiver account code when communicating to the central station.
NOTE: The panel supervision trouble/restore are internally generated events bythe communicator. Trouble is generated if the
communicator misses6 polls. Trouble is restored on receipt of first poll from the panel.

Ethernet Trouble (6 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated when Ethernet link between the transmitter and the local switch or router is absent. This trouble will
also be indicated if the unit fails to get DynamicHostControl Protocol (DHCP) settings from the DHCP server. (Not activeif Ethernet receiversare not programmed).
Receiver Not Available (7 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated if the unit is not able to successfully initialize with any ofthe programmed receivers. Unprogrammed
receivers are excluded.
Receiver Supervision Trouble (8 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated when receiver supervision is enabled and communication between the communicator module and the
receiver fails. Trouble is indicated if Ethernet 1 is supervised and does not receive aheartbeat fromthe receiver.
FTC Trouble (9 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated when the unit fails to communicate module eventsto the central station. Trouble is displayed after the
unit has exhausted all communications attemptsto all programmed receivers for eventsgenerated by the communicator.
Module Configuration Trouble (12 Flashes)
This trouble is indicated when the system accountcode or the receiver account have not been programmed.Disabled receivers are excluded.

Ethernet Programming Options
The programming sections described in this document can be viewed at the keypad LCD. To start programming enter: [*][8]
[installer code][851][section number], where section number is the 3-digit section number referenced in this section. The programming worksheets at the end of this document can be used to record the new values when programming changes have
been made fromthe defaultvalues.
Programming sections are accessed through the panel keypad. Installers may set/review/record programming options at the
panel keypad.

the unit will operate with static IP (DHCP disabled). Sections [002] and [003] must also be programmed when using static IP
addresses.
NOTE: Default for this section is DynamicHost Configuration Protocol (DHCP) enabled. When enabled, the DHCP server will
set values for: IP address [001], subnet mask [002], and gateway [003].Programming an IP address in this section will
disable DHCP (StaticIP).
