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.

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.
Go to: https://services.alarmnet.com/AlarmNetDirect/
If you are not signed up for this service, click on “Dealer Signup” from the
login screen to set up your dealer account. You will be instructed how to
proceed upon completing the sign-up form. Only one sign-up per dealer is
required. Once an initial user is established, additional logins may be
created by that user.
– 4 –
Page 7
GSMX4G / GSMXCN4G Installation and Setup Guide
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.

Programming Conventions
• Programming is accomplished by answering a series of prompts.
Most prompts require only a [Y]es or [N]o response, while others
require a numerical response (ID numbers, etc.).
• The current value is displayed on the second line in parentheses ( ).
A "?" indicates an invalid entry.
• Use the [] key to scroll through options.
• Use the [ENTER] key to accept the current entry and proceed to the
next prompt. If the entered value is invalid, pressing [ENTER] redisplays the prompt; the next prompt is not displayed until a valid
answer is entered.
• Use the up/down arrow keys to scroll through the programming
prompts without changing any values.
• Press the [ESC] key to go to the end of the list of prompts.
Using the Control Panel
Some control panels support programming of the communicator through the
control panel programming mode. If using this method of programming, only
the ECP Mode programming options are available. Other "mode" prompts
will not be displayed, and the mode cannot be changed. For a description of
key functions on the control panel keypad, and how they map to the 7720P
programming tool, refer to the control panel's Programming Guide.
Programming for ECP Mode
The communicator supports ECP messaging to communicate with the control
panel. Likewise the control panel sends Contact ID format alarms to the
communicator via the ECP bus. Not all control panels support the
communicator interface on ECP, so be sure to check the control panel's
Installation and Setup Guide to see if it supports this feature.
ULC
Press the [ENTER] key to begin programming.
Only ECP Mode has been approved for ULC installations.

GSMX4G / GSMXCN4G Installation and Setup Guide
NOTE: The central station can remotely block access to local
device programming. If this has been done, prompt on the
right appears.
Access to Prog
Mode Denied
The default programming values for each prompt are shown in parentheses
in the PROMPTS column. Further, the “Programming Options” table (next
page) shows all the prompts for this programming mode. Depending on your
answers, unnecessary prompts will be bypassed and you will advance to the
next appropriate prompt.
Programming for 4204 and Two-4204 Emulation Modes
In this mode the communicator emulates a 4204 module (or two) and appears
to the control panel as a 4204 module. If two 4204s are enabled in the
communicator, it acts as two 4204s using consecutive device addresses.
The compatible Honeywell VISTA series or First Alert control panel sends
data (triggers) to the communicator as if it were a 4204 module. (The control
panel must be configured to recognize one or two 4204 relay modules
accordingly.) On VISTA-32FB (or higher) control panels and First Alert
equivalents, addresses 6 and 13 should not be used when the secondary 4204
is enabled. Messages are sent in ADEMCO High-Speed format.
See your control panel Installation and Setup Guide for the number of
4204 modules supported.
4204 Emulation Mode Options
For control panels that do not support ECP communication, the 4204
Emulation modes provide a means of sending up to eight unique reports
based on defined system conditions. In 4204 mode, the communicator functions as a logical 4204 Relay Module, where each relay number, referred to in
the communicator as zone number, can be programmed to send a report
based on the output function programmed in the control panel for that relay.
Each relay-zone can also be programmed to; send a restore message of the
reported condition, delay the transmission of messages, and to send reports
only when a conditional zone is triggered (armed).
In single 4204 mode, the communicator supports up to four relay-zones. In
Two-4204 mode, the communicator functions as two 4204 modules,
supporting up to eight relay-zones. Refer to the following table.
– 13 –
Page 16
GSMX4G / GSMXCN4G Installation and Setup Guide
4204 Relay Outputs map to zones
First 4204 Zones (device
address entered in Prompt 16):
Relay 1 = Zone 1
Relay 2 = Zone 2
Relay 3 = Zone 3
Relay 4 = Zone 4
NOTE: Zone 4 status is not
reported when being used as the
conditional (armed) trigger zone.
Second 4204 Zones (device address
entered in Prompt 16, plus 1):
Relay 1 = Zone 5
Relay 2 = Zone 6
Relay 3 = Zone 7
Relay 4 = Zone 8
NOTE: Zone 8 status is not reported
when being used as the conditional
(armed) trigger zone.
When using the communicator in 4204 Emulation Mode, DO NOT enable the
communicator (or LRR) in control panel programming. Instead, enable 4204
relay module address(es) and program the appropriate relay activation
functions for the relay-zones being used. In some control panels, it is called
“relay programming” and in others it is called “output device programming.”
It is recommended that “close and stay closed” (usually choice 2) action is
selected. Selection of momentary activation will cause the communicator to
generate an alarm and NOT a restore, even if the communicator is programmed to send a restore for the given zone.
In 4204 mode, messages are reported in ADEMCO High-Speed format. Zone
alarms (status 7) are reported with “1” (alarm) or “3” (restore) displayed in
the zone position for the respective zone (e.g. alarm on zone 2: 5155 5555 7;
restore 5355 5555 7). A supervision fault trouble message is automatically
sent if the communicator detects no activity on its connection to the control
panel. The message is: 5555 5515 5; restore message is: 5555 5535 5.

To review the programming
options (to ensure that the correct
entries have been made), press
[Y]. The programming prompts
are displayed again. Use the
up/down arrow keys to scroll
through the program fields
without changing any of the
values. If a value requires
change, simply type in the correct
value. When the last field is
displayed, the “REVIEW?”
prompt again appears.
To exit the programming
mode, press [N] in response to
the "REVIEW?" prompt, and refer
to Exiting Programming Mode
topic.
ECP Status Codes
The communicator sends status messages to the control panel to report
various failures. Some control panels, (e.g., VISTA-10P, VISTA-15P and
VISTA-20P Series) display these status codes on the keypad as “LngRng
Radio” followed by a 4-digit code. Commercial panels can supervise the
communicator by way of its ECP address, ex: 03. For example, if the
communicator is disconnected, if it's not registered, or the SIM is deactivated,
a "Check 803" will be displayed.
The control panel will display a fault message if any of the events listed
below occur.
• Module lost communications with the control panel.
– 24 –
Page 27
GSMX4G / GSMXCN4G Installation and Setup Guide
• Module lost contact with AlarmNet.
• Module is not registered; account not activated.
• Module shutdown.
In addition, the Contact ID codes for some of these conditions are reported by
the control panel and sent by AlarmNet to the central station.
Exiting the Programming Mode
To exit the programming mode, press [N] in response to the "REVIEW?"
question. Then press [Y] to the "Exit Prog Mode?" question. Upon exiting,
the message “Checking Root File TX Path” will be displayed, and the
configuration file at the server is updated to log the changes made. When
complete, the message "DONE" is displayed to indicate the file was
successfully uploaded.
If critical configuration changes were made, such as the mode of
operation, the communicator will reset to ensure that the programming
features are enabled.
If the file is not successfully uploaded, one of the following prompts will be
displayed. Follow the steps shown below until the upload is successful.

Registering the Communicator
Once you have programmed the communicator, it must be registered to
enable the AlarmNet account. Registering the communicator activates the
account with AlarmNet and enables the security system's control panel to
send reports. You can register by using one of the following methods:
• AlarmNet Direct website • 7720P Programming Tool
• Test Message
The top display LED will indicate the communicator's registration status as
follows: (Refer to the Summary of Connections topic.)
LED Indication
REG
(green)
You can monitor the registration process by viewing the display LEDs. The
TX/RX (yellow) LED and the REG (green) LED will blink slowly in unison
while registration is in progress.
When the registration successfully completes, the communicator enters a
normal operating mode; the REG (green) LED goes out and the TX/RX
(yellow) LED is lit to indicate that the power-on / reset message is waiting to
be sent. This message will appear at the receiving station as “E339 803”.
The description may read “Trouble – Exp. Mod. Reset”. If registration is not
validated within 90 seconds, the communicator times out, and the REG
(green) LED will be lit solid.

Remote Services
The dealer/installer will set up the customer account and define the events to
be notified of. These events match the output relay triggering events that
were programmed in the control panel.
At the AlarmNet Direct website, refer to the online "AlarmNet Direct User
Guide" for information on configuring the hardware and creating a Total
Connect web account for the customer.
For TC1 compatible communicators, 4204 Multi-Mode must be used.
Once the dealer assigns a login name and password, the customer will receive
a “Welcome” e-mail message with their login name along with some helpful
information. The customer will receive another e-mail message with their
