IP Internet and Digital Cellular
Fire•Communicator

General

The IPGSM-COM is a compact alarm communicator panel. It
connects to the primary and secondary communication ports
of the Fire Alarm Control Panel’s DACT. In the event of an off­normal condition, the panel sends contact ID formatted infor­mation to the IPGSM-COM communicator panel. The IPGSM­COM then reformats the data into highly encrypted Ethernet
packets for transmission to the AlarmNet receiver via cus­tomer-provided internet/intranet connection.

Alternative communication methods are critical in the market­place due to VoIP (Voice over IP), migration from POTS (“plain
old telephone service”) and growth of digital radio networks.
The IPGSM-COM delivers secure, reliable and complemen­tary Internet and digital communications via the GSM (Global
System for Mobile) network. Our exclusive, Triple-Path Com­munications solution combines Internet service with GSM for
added reliability and an extra level of security. The GSM radio
technology is unique in that it uses GPRS service (General
Packet Radio Service) for data and alarm communications and
automatically switches to SMS (Short Message Service) for
alarms if GPRS is unavailable. Through the Internet or GSM
radio, the IPGSM-COM offers contact ID reporting with any
Fire Alarm Control Panels.

All signals from the IPGSM-COM communicator panel 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.

Features

• Saves the cost of two dedicated phone lines. Only the cus­tomer's shared IP equipment is required.

• Triple path communications: Uses Internet as primary with
dual GSM technology as back-up. GSM path utilizes GPRS
and automatically switches to SMS if GPRS is unavailable.

• Requires no change to the existing Fire Alarm Control
Panel configuration. The IPGSM-COM connects directly to
the primary and secondary telephone ports.

• Works over any type of customer provided Ethernet 10/
100Base network connection (LAN or WAN), DSL modem
or cable modem.

• Data transmits over standard contact-ID protocol but is
secured with the industry's advanced encryption standard
(AES 256 bit).

• Supports both dynamic (DHCP) or Public and Private Static
IP addressing.

• Built-In Power Supply module: On board charging circuit
design accommodates back-up battery. Includes primary
power and battery supervision.

• Diagnostic LEDs: Signal strength and status indications.

• Reliable connection: IP and GSM tested everyday

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

• Web-Based Programming or Handheld programmer for
setup.

Miscellaneous

Operation

When an event occurs, the Fire Alarm Control Panel goes off­hook to dial the central station. The IPGSM-COM Dialer Cap­ture Module detects the off-hook condition and provides the
fire panel with a dial tone. When the fire panel detects the dial
tone, it begins dialing the central station. The Dialer Capture
Module considers the three second period after dialing as the
number dialing has been completed. After the dialing is com­pleted, the Dialer Capture Module returns a handshake to the
fire panel. The fire panel then sends the contact ID reports to
the Dialer Capture Module, which in turn sends a kiss-off after
the report is successfully received from the fire panel. The
Dialer Capture Module sends the contact ID reports over the
ECP bus to the iGSM communications module. When all the
reports are sent, the fire panel goes on-hook. The iGSM com­munications module then transmits the messages to the cen­tral station (either over the internet (primary) or the GSM
network).

Easy to Program

There are two ways to configure the IPGSM-COM communica­tor panel:

1. Handheld programmer 7720P

2. Web-Based Programming - Allows complete interactive
programming from AlarmNet Direct.
https://services.alarmnet.com/AlarmNetDirect

The IPGSM-COM Communicator can be pre-programmed.
Use the 7720P programmer or the Web-Based Program to
enter all central-station information. This is saved to the
IPGSM-COM communicator panel memory. When the IPGSM­COM Communicator is installed at the site and connected to
the Internet/Intranet, it registers itself with the AlarmNet
receiver. This eliminates the need for a PC at the remote site
for programming.

For most installations, the only required parameters are:

• Primary City ID (two digits) obtained from your monitoring
station.

DN-60656:B1 • 02/23/2011 — Page 1 of 2

• Primary Central Station ID (two digits) obtained from your
monitoring station.

• Primary Subscriber ID (four digits) obtained from your mon­itoring station.

• Communication Module's MAC ID, and MAC CRC number
located on outside of box, and inside of the module.

All of these parameters are assigned by the monitoring station.

See IPGSM-COM Installation and Setup Guide for full details.
NOTE: Some assembly is required.

Panel Capabilities

The IPGSM-COM communicator panel is compatible with fire
panels that use the Contact ID communications format as
described in the SIA DC-05 standard. Any NOTIFIER fire
alarm control panel with a Contact ID-capable DACT meets
that standard — including ONYX series panels wtih UDACT,
FireWarden series panels, 411 series panels, SFP-5UD/10UD,
and NSP25.

AlarmNet

Honeywell's AlarmNet has been the nationwide leader in
alarm communications technology since 1986. A reliable alter­native for the transmission of alarm signals, our radio network
provides extensive coverage in the United States and Canada

AlarmNet Network Control center processes signals from pow­erful servers in multiple locations equipped with 24/7 infra­structure support. The AlarmNet network consist of redundant
hardware servers, hot back-up databases and generators with
battery back-up at all locations to ensure continuity of service.
Signals from AlarmNet are transmitted to the central station's
receivers using multiple communications paths consisting of
the Internet, radio network or toll-free POTS service.
