Honeywell's IPGSM-COM delivers secure, reliable fire alarm communications via the Honeywell's Alarmnet network. Connected via the dialer output of our fire alarm panels, this unit eliminates the need for phone lines, replacing them with internet and cellular communications paths that connect to Alarmnet. Our exclusive, triple-path communications solution combines Internet service with GSM for added reliability and an extra level of security. This unique GSM radio technology utilizes GPRS service for alarm communications and automatically switches to SMS for alarms if GPRS is unavailable. Utilizing 256-bit AES encryption, these signals will pass securely through public communications pathways.
Through the Internet or cellular radio, the IPGSM-COM offers full Contact ID data reporting and uploading/downloading with most of today's fire alarm control panels manufactured by Fire-Lite Alarms, Gamewell-FCI, NOTIFIER and Silent Knight. Dry contact inputs make this communicator compatible with other manufacturers control panels as well, for dry contact reporting.

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 off-normal condition, the panel sends contact ID formatted information to the IPGSM-COM communicator panel. The IPGSM-COM then reformats the data into highly encrypted Ethernet packets for transmission to the AlarmNet receiver via customer-provided internet/intranet connection. Panel Capabilities The IPGSM-COM communicator panel is compatible with the following fire alarm panels: Notifier � NCA-2 � NFS-320 � NFS2-640 � NFS2-3030 � NFW-50 � NFW2-100 � NSP-25(E) � SFP-5UD/-10UD Gamewell � 7100 � E3 Series � GIF 100 GIF 100G Fire�Lite � MS-5UD � MS-10UD � MS-25(E) � MS-9050UD � MS-9200UDLS � MS-9600(UD)LS � 411 � 411UD, 411UDAC Silent Knight � 5104 � 5208 � 5600, 5600HV � 5700 � 5808 � 5820XL � IFP-25, IFP-25HV � IFP-50 � IFP-100 � IFP-1000 � IFP-2000 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. Installation Requirements UL COMPLIANCE To meet UL864/NFPA compliance, ensure the following: � IPGSM-COM must be mounted within the same room and within 20 feet of host Fire Alarm Control Panel sounder, or other remote sounder. � IPGSM-COM must be powered from the same un-switched facility power source branch as the host Fire Alarm Control Panel. � IPGSM-COM must use the 7AH battery to provide 24-hour backup capability. 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 IPGSMCOM offers contact ID reporting with listed 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. When an event occurs, the Fire Alarm Control Panel goes offhook to dial the central station. The IPGSM-COM Dialer Capture Module detects the offhook 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).
