1 Application area

GPRS communicator for alarm control panels, which converts the Contact ID
communication into SIA IP format and forwards the events towards the monitoring
station’s receiver using IP channel over mobile GPRS network. Can be used with any
alarm system which is able to report to monitoring station in Contact ID format using

PSTN landline. Using the adapter, the alarm control panel’s signals are sent to the
monitoring station’s IP receiver over the GPRS network, using SIA IP protocol based on

ANSI/SIA DC-09-2007 standard. No need for a central server, only an IP receiver with
internet connection is necessary. The module operates with the TELLMon and any other
receiver which supports the SIA IP protocol mentioned above. Recognition of the
receiver and switching between the SIA IP and TELLMon protocol is done automatically
upon connecting to the receiver, thereby configuring the communication protocol is not
necessary.

2 Functions

 Converting Contact ID format and event reporting in SIA IP format
 Supports receiver-side static IP and domain as well
 Backup Contact ID communication over GSM voice call in case of an IP error
 Forwards incoming SMS messages
 Settings can be configured by PC software or SMS
 Possibility to send supervision test report to multiple IP address for continuous

monitoring of the connections

 Evaluates and shows estimated data traffic
 The programming software and manual are available on the internal memory of the

device which acts as a USB drive

Basically, reporting can be realized in two ways: over mobile internet using SIA IP based
communication, or as a backup option, over GSM voice call towards a switched-line
DTMF receiver. If the alarm control panel dials one of the numbers assigned to an IP
address, reporting will be done over mobile internet. If the alarm control panel dials a
number which is not defined in the module, or a number configured at the GSM call
filtering option, reporting will be done over GSM voice call.

3 Settings

3.1 Configuri ng through USB connection

The product’s programming software and manual is available on the USB storage of the
device. If the microswitch found under the hole on the left side of the module is pushed
shortly with an appropriate tool after connected to the computer via USB, the USB
storage of the device will appear for 2 minutes among the computer’s drives. If you wish
to use the storage thereafter, push the microswitch again. By pushing the microswitch
the LED found on the module will also indicate the GSM signal level by flashing.
In case of using Windows XP, if the USB drive does not appear in a few seconds after

pushing the microswitch, then the “HID-compliant device” marked with the yellow failure

icon created by the system upon connecting the module to USB should be removed in
the system’s device manager, and the “Scan for hardware changes” icon should be
clicked to redetect the connected device.

The programming software is available on the USB storage at the following path:
[Drive letter]:\Software\Remoter\Remoter.exe

The programming software is compatible with the following operating systems:

 Windows XP SP2
 Windows 7 (32/64 bit)
 Windows 8.x (32/64 bit)
 Windows 10 (32/64 bit)

Using the programming software, the following parameters can be configured:

3.1.1 GPRS settings

 APN name: access point name for connecting to the Internet (is provided by the

GSM service provider)

 User and password: necessary only if required and provided by the GSM service

provider

The module restarts in every 3 minutes if the APN settings are wrong or missing!

3.1.2 SIA settings

Depending on the alarm control panel’s settings, the module can forward the signals up
to 4 IP addresses or domains. Filtering and directing of the events towards the
appropriate receiver is realized by the alarm control panel. The module associates the IP
addresses with the numbers dialed by the alarm panel, then it converts the received
events to IP-based format and sends towards the configured receivers.
To continuously check the connections it is possible to enable supervision test reports.
Test reports can be enabled independently for all IP addresses except for the first
(highest priority) address, for which this is always enabled. The frequency of supervision
test report sending can be configured in seconds. According to this parameter, an
estimated data traffic is calculated to indicate how much data traffic will be generated by
using the configured settings.
