GSMX4G / GSMXCN4G Installation and Setup Guide
General Information
The GSMX4G GSM Communicator (GSMXCN4G in Canada), herein referred
to as the communicator, easily connects to your security system's control
panel and sends alarms and messages to AlarmNet for subsequent transfer to
the central monitoring station. It can be mounted directly on the control
panel or remotely.
The new 4G connectivity brings faster GSM data transfers with lower latency
(response time); together it results in speedier data transfers.
The GSMX4G requires an AlarmNet account. For new installations,
please obtain the account information from the central station prior to
programming.
The GSMX4G communicates with AlarmNet using GSM (Global System for
Mobile) technology utilizing GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) as a
means of data transfer. If the GPRS part of the GSM cellular network is
unavailable, it will attempt to send a transmission via SMS (Short Message
Service) also known as a text message.
In addition to alarm reporting, the communicator provides two-way voice
communications with the central station (when used with Honeywell’s AVS
Audio Verification System) and provides upload/downloading capability of
Honeywell's control panel data over the Internet (via the AlarmNet-G
network), using GSM (Global System for Mobile) technology.
UL / ULC
Two-way voice has not been evaluated by UL / ULC.
NOTE: Two-way voice is not compatible with Honeywell Commercial
Control Panels (such as the VISTA-128/250 series).
Features
• Reports fire, burg, and status messages via GSM.
• Internal antenna provides additional security.
• Simple programming using the 7720P programming tool or via the
AlarmNet Direct website.
• Uses 2 way ECP communication with the control panel.
• Sends reports in Contact ID format.
• Supports remote control of alarm system via Remote Services
feature.
• Allows uploading and downloading of control panel data via GSM.
• Fully powered (primary and backup battery) from the control panel.

GSMX4G / GSMXCN4G Installation and Setup Guide
Modes of Operation
• The GSMX4G is for control panels that support ECP communication.
• The control panel treats the communicator as an ECP device, so
ensure to program the control panel with the communicator’s device
address.
• 4204 Mode, and two 4204 Mode operation.
Supervision and Fault Detection
• Network communication failure – In the event the AlarmNet
network does not hear a supervisory message from the communicator within a specified time (“Supervision” option, 24 hours, 30 days,
or none), AlarmNet notifies the central station of a communication
failure.
• Communication path failure – In the event the communicator
detects a communication path failure, the control panel can be
notified of a trouble condition with the communicator after a
specified time has elapsed.

GSMX4G / GSMXCN4G Installation and Setup Guide
Data Encryption
The communicator supports private key encryption. Private Key encryption
means that both the sender and the receiver know the KEY used to encrypt
the data. Each device produced by Honeywell is loaded with a unique identifier called a MAC number, and a large random number or KEY. This KEY
and MAC number are also stored in the AlarmNet servers.
When a device contacts AlarmNet, it sends the MAC number followed by the
message that is encrypted using the KEY data. The server looks up the MAC
number and uses the KEY associated with it to decrypt the message.
The KEY uses 256-bit AES (Rijndael) encryption (which is required for
certain government installations). Further, the AlarmNet AES Encryption
Software Module Version 1.0 contained in the Honeywell products have NIST
approval. Listings for this approval can be found at
http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/aes/aesval.html Search for “Certification
number 127.”
Remote Services Features
UL
Honeywell offers secure web based services that enable users to remotely
monitor and control their security system. These web services enable
users to:
• Monitor and control their security system from a website
• Receive e-mail and text message notifications of system events
• Control the system and receive confirmations using text messages
• Monitor and control IP video cameras
Dealers can enroll their customers for "Remote Services" by using the
AlarmNet Direct website. Once enabled, the specific programming fields
associated with these features can be programmed into the communications
device either remotely using the AlarmNet Direct website or locally using the
7720P programming tool.
Remote Access and Multi-Mode have not been evaluated
by UL.
E-mail notification (Multi Mode) is intended as a convenience for the user,
and does not replace Central Station reporting of critical events (alarms,
troubles, etc.).
Testing the System
After installation the security system should be tested. Refer to the control
panel installation instructions for procedures to test the entire system.

Compatibility
The communicator functions with any control panel that utilizes a Honeywell
ECP bus and supports a GSM communicator (or LRR).
Compliance
This device has been tested by ETL to meet the following standards:
• UL985 – Residential Fire • Canadian ULC Compliance
• UL1023 – Residential Burg
Mount and Wire the Module
Select a Mounting Location
When choosing a suitable mounting location, understand that it must be
mounted indoors, and for best signal strength it should be mounted
vertically. Signal strength is very important for proper operation. For most
installations, mounting the unit on the control panel provides adequate
signal strength and we suggest that this method is tried first. Especially if
the control panel is not in a basement location or in an area that contains
large metal objects.
Warning – The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to
provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not
be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
RF Exposure
If the control panel location does not provide adequate signal strength, then
the communicator can be mounted remotely.
Activate the SIM
NOTE: The SIM in the communicator must be ACTIVATED first in order for
signal strength to be determined. However the SIM supplied for the
GSMXCN4G is already activated.
Once the communicator is installed and programmed, it must be Registered
with AlarmNet. Registering activates the account with AlarmNet and enables
the security system's control panel to send reports.

Log in and follow the on-screen prompts. At this time only activate the SIM
so signal strength may be checked. DO NOT register the communicator at
this time. Please have the following information available to activate the
SIM:
• MAC number and MAC CRC (located on the box and inside the
communicator).
You may log out of the AlarmNet Direct website.
Once the communicator is installed and programmed, it must be Registered
with AlarmNet. Registering activates the account with AlarmNet and
enables the security system's control panel to send reports.
Verify Satisfactory Signal Strength
In this procedure you will temporarily power up the communicator to check
for satisfactory signal strength. You can power it from a 12V battery or from
the control panels AUX PWR terminals. In buildings where reception may be
a problem, powering from a battery would allow the communicator to be
portable. The following procedure assumes the control panel will be used for
power. (If satisfactory signal strength is present at the control panel that is
the preferred mounting location.)
1. Ensure power to the control panel (both AC and battery) is off. Open
the enclosure and connect the ECP cable to the communicator.
Temporarily attach the Black and Red wires to the GND and AUX
PWR terminals of the control panel. DO NOT connect the Yellow
and Green wires at this time.
2. Turn power on and wait about one minute for the communicator to
initialize. Position the communicator near a suitable mounting
position. Verify the SIGNAL LED (green) lights steady. This
indicates satisfactory signal strength.
