Honeywell 7845GSMR User Manual

Honeywell is focused on providing the future of alarm
communication solutions for the security industry. Alternative
communication methods are critical in the marketplace
due to VoIP, migration from POTS and global growth of
digital networks.

Honeywell’s Digital Cellular Communicators deliver secure,
reliable and complementary digital communications via the
GSM (Global System for Mobile) network. Our use of
Dual-Path GPRS service with SMS backup provides
substantial benefits to protect your investment by future-proofing
your recurring revenue.

This groundbreaking communications solution offers full data
reporting and uploading/downloading with most Honeywell
control panels. In addition, with on-board zone inputs and
optional dialer capture capability, we’re compatible with other
manufacturers’ security panels as well.

The addition of the snap-in GSML and VISTA-GSM lines allow
for integration of the GSM modules directly into the Honeywell
VISTA-21iP and LYNX control panels – making installation
faster and easier.

All signals are delivered to Honeywell’s AlarmNet Network
Control Center, which routes the information to the
appropriate central station. The state of the art AlarmNet
Network Control Center is fully redundant and monitored 24/7.
AlarmNet has the ability to route messages using AlarmNet-i
and 800 PLUS services, providing true redundancy and
multi-path message delivery.

• Full Contact ID or ADEMCO
High-Speed Reporting

Contact ID reporting using ECP mode
with compatible Honeywell control
panels or combined with dialer
capture for non-ECP capable control
panels.

• 256-bit AES Encryption

Advanced encryption standard used
for secure communications.

• Dual-Path Technology

Uses GPRS (General Packet Radio
Service) as primary digital cellular
path and automatically switches to
SMS (Short Message Service)
if GPRS is unavailable.

• Upload/Download

With select Honeywell control panels
using GPRS. Requires Compass
version 1.5.8.54a or higher.

• Dynamic Signaling with Certain
Honeywell Control Panels

Provides management of control
panel dialer and digital cellular
communicator. Programmable priority
and delays determine signal path.

• Diagnostic LEDs

Provide signal strength and status
indications.

• QOS

Quality of Service diagnostics via
AlarmNet supply vital information
including when a message was
received, battery voltage, input
voltage, signal strength and
message path.

• Web-Based Programming

Allows complete interactive
programming from AlarmNet Direct.

• Intelligent Supervision

Any message generated serves as a
supervision message per optional
24 hour or 30 day intervals. This
feature effectively limits required
messages to be sent.

• Remote Services Capability*

Optional Total Connect value-added
web-based or SMS system control as
well as e-mail notification of system
events.

FEATURES

GSM Communicators

• Universal Control Panel
Compatibility

Flexible modes of operation allow
ECP alarm reporting by Honeywell
control panels, 4204 relay mode for
Honeywell controls (that do not
support ECP alarm reporting) and
zone triggering for use with other
control panels.

• Dialer Capture Ready

Compatible with Dialer Capture
Intelligence Device DCID (for LYNX) or
