VISTA-15P/20P/SIA Installation and Setup Guide16System Communication and Operation (Continued)Uploading/Downloading via the InternetUL: Up/downloading via the Internet has not been evaluated by UL.This control, when used with a compatible Internet/Intranet Communication Device, supports upload/downloadprogramming capability via the Internet using the AlarmNet network or, depending on the communication moduleused, a Private local area network (Intranet). This allows site maintenance independent of central stationmonitoring, and modification to sites globally via the Internet. Depending on the module used, Internet connectionfrom the protected premises is either via high speed (broadband) cable or phone service, or via the digital cellularnetwork.Refer to the instructions provided with the communication module for information regarding its installation,programming, and registration. The System Requirements table below lists two sets of system requirements,depending upon whether you intend to communicate over the Internet or whether you are communicating over aPrivate LAN (Intranet).Compatible Communication Modules: Current AlarmNet communicators support Cell or Internetuploading/downloading.System RequirementsInternet CommunicationAt the Installation Site: Appropriate Internet Communication Module 7720P Programmer Broadband Internet Access (for wired modules) Broadband (Cable/DSL) Modem (for wired modules) Broadband (Cable/DSL) Router (for wired modules ifconnecting more than one device to the Internet) IP compatible Control PanelAt the Downloading Office: Broadband Internet Access Broadband (Cable/DSL) Modem Broadband (Cable/DSL) Router (optional, if connectingmore than one device to the Internet) Computer running Compass Downloading Softwareversion that supports Internet upload/download for thiscontrol.Intranet (Private LAN) Communication, if applicable*At the Installation Site: Internet/Intranet Communication Module 7720P Programmer Ethernet Network Connection IP compatible Control PanelAt the Downloading Office: 7810 Internet Receiver Internal Router Computer(s) running the following software:- Compass Downloading Software version that supports IPupload/download for this control.- Compass Connect Data Server Application- Compass Connect Control Server Application* see module’s instructions for applicability for LAN usageNOTE: Compass, the Compass Connect Data Server, andthe Compass Connect Control Server applications may all beinstalled on the same computer if desired. If they areinstalled on one computer, the computer must have a fixedIP Address.To set up the control panel, do the following:1. Connect the module to the control panel’s ECP (keypad) terminals.2. Internet Users: For wired modules, connect the module to the Internet via a cable/DSL modem and router.Intranet Users: Connect the module to the Intranet (LAN) via the appropriate Ethernet connection.3. Enable the module in the control panel (using 29 Menu mode) to enable alarm reporting and modulesupervision.4. Using the module’s programming menus (via 29 Menu mode or 7720P programmer), program thecommunication device module for address 3 and program the module’s other options as required.5. Register the module with AlarmNet. The module must be registered before downloading or alarm reporting cantake place.To perform upload/download functions:1. Connect the computer to the Internet and start the Compass downloading software.2. Open the control’s account, then select the Communications function and click the Connect button.3. At the Connect screen, check that the control’s MAC address is entered and the TCP/IP checkbox is checked.4. Click Connect. The Internet connection to the control is made automatically via AlarmNet.5. Once connected, use the Compass downloading software as normal to perform upload/download functions.
