GSM Communication

What is GSM?

• Global System for Mobile Communications– Developed in 1990s

– One of the leading digital cellular networks

– AT&T network in the U.S.

– Rogers network in Canada

• Most popular standard for mobile phones in the world.– Approximately 70% of the world’s market

– Open standard with roaming capability

GSM Communication

Two communication paths: GPRS and SMS

GPRS• General Packet Radio Service

– Always On connection• Typically faster than SMS

– Real-time confirmation

• Higher bandwidth capacity– Supports downloading

SMS• Short Message Service

– Store and forward communication• Sent via SMS Center

• Less bandwidth capacity– No downloading support

Both signaling and speech channels are digital.Higher digital voice quality and text messaging

GSM Communication

Installation Procedures

Installation of a GSM radio will consist of a few steps:

1. Activating the SIM card.

2. Finding a suitable mounting location with adequate signal strength.

3. Wiring to control panel.

4. Programming and Registration


Honeywell.com

9

GSM Communication

Activating the SIM Card

• The SIM card on the GSM device you are installing must be activated prior to completing the registration process.

• You will not have any signal strength indication on your GSM radio prior to SIM activation.

• The SIM card can be activated up to thirty days prior to registration.

• You may set up registration at the time of activation.

• If the radio is not registered to an account within thirty days, the SIM will be automatically deactivated by Alarmnet.

GSM Communication

Activating the SIM Card

There are three ways to activate a SIM card:

1) Log on to Alarmnet Direct website and enter MAC ID and CRC information

https://services.alarmnet.com/alarmnetdirect/

2) Contact your Central Station

3) Call Alarmnet SIM activation at 800-222-6525 Select option 1 for Technical Support, then press 1 for Alarmnet

GSM device activation.

You must have the MAC ID and CRC to activate the SIM.

It will take from several minutes to a few hours to activate the SIM.

Zone Mode

• When the GSM is programmed for zone mode, there are six input zones available.

• The first zone input (TB1, pin 5) can detect a pulsed signal (reported as zone 1) or a steady signal (reported as zone 2).

• When using zone trigger mode, messages are sent in ADEMCO high-speed format.

Zone Mode Programming Options

Trip Inputs 1or2 w/Bell out (N)

Enable this option when wiring zone 1/2 input (terminal 5) to control panel positive bell output.

This will help prevent false alarms caused by supervision voltage on the bell circuit.

This will also prevent the radio from causing bell circuit faults on the control panel.

►Note: Enabling this feature will raise the trip voltage on zones 1, 2, and 3 from 2VDC to 5VDC.

This option should not be enabled with negative trigger inputs on zones 1, 2, or 3.


Honeywell.com

31

GSM Communication


Zn1 Trigger Type (V+)

This selects the triggering method for this zone input.

Options are: (V+), (V-), or (EOLR)

If zone is set for (V+), the zone will report an alarm when voltage input is 2VDC-14VDC.

Trigger levels above 14VDC may damage the unit and trigger levels below 2VDC may not trigger the zone.

Remember: Enabling “Trip Inputs w/Bell out” increases minimum

trigger requirement for zones 1, 2, and 3 to 5VDC.


Honeywell.com

32

GSM Communication


Zn1 Trigger Type (V+)

This selects the triggering method for this zone input.

Options are: (V+), (V-), or (EOLR)

•If the zone is set to (V-), the negative triggering voltage must be less than 1.0VDC.

•If the zone is set to (EOLR), the zone will report an alarm when the EOLR is removed from the zone.

Recommended EOLR is 2K ohms.

This enables the zone to report when it is restored.

Delay Zn1 (secs)

(00)

This option defines any delay in reporting for this zone input (from 0 to 15 seconds).

Rpt Zn1 ONLY if

Armed (N)

This option will disable this zone from reporting unless the conditional zone is triggered. (The conditional zone is zone 7 when radio is in zone mode.)


Honeywell.com

34

Invert Zn2 Y/N

(N)

This option inverts the alarm and normal states of the zone trigger.

Lynx Panic Y/N

(N)

This option is enabled only when radio is connected to a Lynx, LynxR, or LynxR-EN. This enables a silent panic alarm to be sent when a single pulse is detected on zone 1.

(Neither Fault)_

• Basically the same as the previously discussed “GSM flt time.” In the event there is loss of contact with the network over the Ethernet connection, enter the time delay before the 7845i-GSM notifies the Central Station of the problem.

• IP failure will always be reported as “Primary Communication Path Failure”

• Programming options are: “Neither Fault” or “Both IP and GSM Faults.”

• If “Both IP and GSM Faults” is selected, the device will notify the control panel (via ECP bus or GSM fault relay) if both communication paths fail.

• If enabled, all messages (including AlarmNet network supervisory messages) are sent over GSM network in

the event of an internet failure. • If disabled, all messages (except AlarmNet network supervisory messages) are sent over GSM network in the event of an internet failure.

• If enabled, the 7845i-GSM sends a supervision ping over the GSM network once a day to verify backup communication path.

• A “secondary communication path loss” message is generated if the message is not successfully delivered.

(Y)_

For 24 UL battery backup requirement, this feature must be enabled, or the unit must be powered by an appropriate UL

listed UPS.

What does it do?

If the feature is enabled, the communicator’s NIC card will power down and will power up every 20 seconds to send a test ping (to

test internet path) then power down again. The NIC will also power up anytime the unit needs to transmit information over the

internet. If connectivity problems occur with certain routers or switches, disable this option.

Important Note AboutProgrammerless Replacements!

• The PIN is only transferred to the 7845GSM device on the first data transfer attempt.

• If your device fails to register, take the following steps using AlarmNet Direct.

a) Delete the account from “Show Programmed Devices”.b) Add the account back using “Replace C” or “Replace Other Device”.c) From the “Show Programmed Devices” page, execute the SEND

DATA command and get confirmation of the data transfer by refreshing the page.

d) After current date and time are showing in the “Transferred” column, execute the “Register” command.

• Following these steps will ensure the PIN is transferred to the device. Remember, If the device fails to register the first time, the PIN will be reset to FFFF and will not be accepted by the AlarmNet servers.

Vista-20P and LynxR-i

• The Vista-20P and LynxR-I communicates with the 7845GSM over the ECP (keypad) bus.

• To setup the control panel, do the following:1. Connect the 7845GSM module to the control panel’s ECP (keypad)

terminals as you would a keypad.

2. Enable the 7845GSM as a Long Range Radio in the control panel to enable alarm reporting and module supervision.

- Vista - *29 = 1- LynxR-I - *55 = 1

3. Program the 7845GSM and set the ECP address to 3.

4. Register the 7845GSM with AlarmNet. The module must be registered before downloading or alarm reporting can take place.

Vista-128/250BP and Vista-128/250FBP

• To set up the control panel, do the following:1. Connect the 7845GSM module to the control panel’s ECP (keypad)

terminals as you would a keypad.2. Program the 7845GSM as required using the 7720P programmer. (To

do this, temporarily disconnect the RJ11 from the 7845GSM and plug in the programmer). Remember to program:

• Question 13 (ANI ECP Address) with the same address programmed in Step 4. Two additional programming questions have been added for direct wire downloading over IP:

• Question 14 (Enable DW) to enable direct wire downloading; and • Question 15 (Direct Wire Address), to tell the 7845GSM what keypad

address the 7845GSM is going to use for direct wire downloading (same address as entered in Step 5).

3. Connect the trigger cable between the control panel trigger connector and the 7845GSM (RJ11 connection).

4. Enable an address for the 7845GSM as a Long Range Radio (LRR) in the control panel’s Device Programming Mode (*93). This enables the 7845GSM on the control panel.
