Introduction
ipDatatel’s Cellular Alarm Transceiver (CDMA) (the "Cellular CAT"
or "Product") is a cellular radio that connects directly to the Tip &
Ring of an alarm control panel. The Product transmits alarm
signals via Verizon’s Cellular CDMA network.
The Cellular CAT is compatible with most alarm controls that
transmit Contact ID (CID) format transmitted from its digital dialer
communicator. This installation manual provides wiring examples
for DSC, Honeywell, GE controls, and generic wiring examples for
other alarm control brands.
The Product can also provide virtual key-switch access via smartphone (if alarm control has key-switch feature), and the web, as
well as alarm monitoring notifications via text/push, email, and
computerized voice call.
Key Features
Cellular Connectivity
The Cellular CAT technology replaces outdated conventional
phone lines (POTS) to provide cellular alarm monitoring
transmissions over Verizon’s Cellular CDMA Network. By
capturing the data transmission from the alarm control’s digital
dialer output, the Product emulates an alarm receiver.
The Product also resolves the communication problems that
Voice-Over-Internet-Protocol (VOIP) services create that can
chop-up alarm signal transmissions.
Alarm retransmissions are made using Contact ID format and can
be sent to your central station’s alarm receiver via landline or
direct by IP.
Alarm signals are normally routed to your central station; however,
signals such as open/close can be routed directly to the customer.
These automated features of the Cellular CAT provide you control
over what signals are sent to the central station, helping save on
monitoring costs.

Virtual Key-Switch Feature
Your customers can remotely operate their alarm system by Virtual
Key-Switch by downloading ipDatatel’s SecureSmart app through
their smartphone, and they can also access the system through
their web browser. Customers can find this feature useful for quick
and convenient arming and disarming of the system, as well as
being able to view alarm history. The SecureSmart app is
compatible with iPhone and Android platforms and is free to
download at the App Store or the Google Play Store (search for
“SecureSmart”). The virtual key-switch is also available as a web
application on www.alarmdealer.com that runs from any Internet
connected browser.
Note: The Cellular CAT does not support full featured Virtual
Keypad functionality, nor is it connected to the Internet. Please
consider installing ipDatatel’s Cellular BAT product for these
advanced features.
Alarm Notifications via Text/Push and Email
The Cellular CAT also provides notifications for alarm, supervisory,
trouble, and open/close signals. Notifications by text/push and
email identify the alarm system address, alarm signal and zone,
and zone description. Notifications are normally delivered within
seconds.
Computerized Voice Alarm Notifications
The Cellular CAT also provides notifications via computerized
voice for customers who wish a phone call, where they may not
desire text/push or email messages.

General Considerations
Before installation, your Cellular CAT must also be setup using
the dealer branded Portal located at: www.alarmdealer.com.
The Product should be installed securely within the supplied
plastic housing and be mounted next to the alarm control panel.
Choose a location with good Cellular reception by monitoring the
Product's signal strength LEDs utilizing a temporary power wire.
Power the Product down before mounting / installation.
Programming of the alarm control is fairly simple. Written
instructions are included in the “Wiring & Programming” section
of this manual.
Pre-Installation
Hardware Registration
Before the installation of your Cellular CAT, the Product must be
also registered through ipDatatel at: www.alarmdealer.com.
Here are the steps needed to register the Cellular CAT:
Log in to alarmdealer.com with the dealer login information that
was emailed to you;
Navigate to ‘Dealer Menu’ -> ’Hardware Registration; and
Enter the MAC address from the pc board you wish to register.
Adding a Cellular CAT to a Customer Account

Locating and Installing the Cellular CAT
The Product connects to the alarm panel’s power connections,
Telco, and key-switch connections (optional).
Telco - Digital Dialer
The Cellular CAT‘s signal collection requires Contact ID format
transmit from the digital dialer of the alarm control. Wire the Telco
side of the alarm control's Tip & Ring to the Product's Tip & Ring.
Obviously, you must remove the POTS line (if any) from the alarm
control as it would interfere with the installation of the Product.
Virtual Key-Switch Connection
The Cellular CAT can connect to most panels and provide a Virtual
Key-Switch, allowing the customer to use the arm/disarm function.
Virtual Key-Switch access is obtained after the customer
authenticates using the customer username and password you
have assigned them in the pre-installation phase. The customer
will then need to download the SecureSmart app from their smartphone. Additionally, the customer can also obtain access through
a web interface. The Virtual Key-Switch is an option, and is not
required to for alarm signal transmission from the Cellular CAT.
Power Connection
The final step is to wire the alarm panel’s 12VDC auxiliary positive
and negative power to the Product's positive (pin 4) and negative
(pin 3) terminals.
Basic Programming
The Cellular CAT simulates a POTS telephone service to the
panel. General programming for the control requires configuring
the signal format as Contact ID, and inputting a telephone number
to dial. The telephone number can be arbitrary (555-555-5555).
Validating the Installation
After the Cellular CAT is properly connected to the alarm control
and powered, use the following steps to validate that the system is
functioning properly:
Ensure that all alarm signals are received by your central station.
Ensure that virtual key-switch functionality works through the
SecureSmart mobile app, and/or the web at: alarmdealer.com.

Cellular CAT (CDMA) Service Provisioning
Overview
Upon installation, the Cellular CAT must be registered with Verizon
Cellular. The Product can obtain the credentials needed by its
Over-The-Air Provisioning (OTAP). During an OTAP, the Cellular
CAT obtains an IP address with the nearest cell towers and
provides IP connectivity for the Product.
Pre-Provisioned
All new Cellular CAT’s are pre-provisioned with Verizon, which means
they are linked to the network and no additional steps are required for
this Product to come online initially. If you are installing a Cellular CAT
that was previously installed, you may need to perform a reprovisioning of the OTAP, which is required by Verizon to make the
Product come online. If a Cellular CAT is removed or deactivated from
an account, you will need to make sure it is re-provision. To reprovision the Cellular CAT, please follow these steps:
Re-Provisioning
OTAP Steps (If Needed)
1. To begin, ensure that the Product is
powered appropriately with 12- volts
either from a battery or the control
panel.
2. Press and release the SW1 switch 3
times (i.e. triple click the switch),
3. Once released, the Product will auto
power cycle. When it re-initializes you
should see LEDs 3 – 6 scrolling,
4. Once acquired into the network, you
will see the signal strength indicated
on the board via LEDs 3 – 6.
5. Wait approximately 5 minutes before
sending signals.

Generic Alarm Panel Wiring and Programming
For basic Key-Switch operation with the Cellular CAT, the
following alarm panel wiring is needed.
A programmable output on the alarm panel will be used to signal
to the Product (PGM Terminal 5) that the panel has entered
Arm/Disarmed state.
The zone (Terminal 8) output on the Product will be used as a
Key-Switch connecting to a ‘zone’ terminal on the alarm panel.
General Concept: Key-Switch Programming
Key-Switch programming examples for Honeywell, DSC, and GE
NetworX are provided in the following paragraph. Most panel
manufacturers will have the capability to configure a zone for keyswitch operation and generally have at least one on-board
programmable output that can be configured to activate on a
number of different controls state conditions. Please reference the
alarm panel installation manual for details for your specific
installation.
