MIP-2/UD

IP Communicator for Burglar Alarm Panels

General

The MIP-2/UD is a simple communications device that allows the transmission of alarms generated by a conventional control panel through any kind of IP network (ADSL, cable, Inter- net…), at the same time that it keeps the standard telephone line as a back-up mechanism.

Designed to work with most of the already installed control panels, the MIP-2/UD allows for a faster and more economic alarm transmission, improving response times, decreasing costs and offering value added features such as the super- vised line functionality that allows the central station to detect if any of the alarm panels go off-line. At the central station side, Teldat has designed an IP receiver, the VisorALARM PLUS, that will integrate seamlessly into conventional central station architectures

Features

•Allows any Contact-ID Burglar alarm panel to transmit alarms over IP networks.

•Saves the cost of an 800 number to receive alarms. Trans- mission is done through a flat rate Internet connection that is shared with other devices.

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

•Can use newer low-cost, non-analog, digital telephone ser- vices such as cable or fiber optics.

•Increases connection supervision to the central station from the once-a-day test signal to once every 30 - 90 seconds.

•Requires no change to the existing panel configuration. The IP Communicator connects directly to the primary and sec- ondary analog panel telephone ports.

•Fast alarm transmission (less than 1 second transmission time) for better response times to burglar alarms.

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

•Data transmits over standard contact-ID protocol but is secured with the industry’s highest level of encryption (AES 512 bit).

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

•Supports dual-destination IP receiver address for high redundancy configurations: all signals are sent to a second- ary address should the primary become unavailable.

•MIP-2/UD can be installed inside the alarm panel or inside its own wall mount enclosure.

•Upload/Download capabilities: Allows central station opera- tors to manage the remote alarm panels over IP using the VisorALARM PLUS receiver to manage all the connections, protocols and additional features. You will be able to pro- gram, upgrade, download or perform any operation. Teldat actually supports panels like Vista, Paradox, and Networks.

•Supports an optional third maintenance receiver installed at the end user’s facility that permits local alarm monitoring. Alarms are received simultaneously at both the central sta- tion and the customer’s facility. A filter can be applied to annunciate specific alarm types such as trouble-only events.

Easy to Program

There are three ways to configure the IP Communicator:

1.Console terminal using the HyperTerminal™ software program found on all Microsoft® operating systems.

2.Local or remote Telnet session via Ethernet connection.

3.Windows-based configuration software (shipped with IP Communicator).

The IP Communicator can be pre-programmed. The program- mer enters all central-station information and an auto-registra- tion password. This is saved to the unit’s flash memory. When the IP Communicator is installed at the site and connected to the Internet/Intranet, it registers itself with the central station receiver. This eliminates the need for a PC at the remote site for programming. The IP receiver at the monitoring station will automatically configure other parameters during registration.

FOR MOST INSTALLATIONS, THE ONLY REQUIRED PARAMETERS

ARE:

•Selection of either DHCP or Static IP.

•Destination primary and secondary receiver IP addresses.

•Account identification number (CID).

•Port number.

•Installation password.

All of these parameters are assigned by the central station.

NOTE: See the MIP UD manual for instructions on UL installa- tions)

Installation Requirements

•Burglar panel compatible with Contact-ID format.

•At least 250mA of electrical power available on the power supply to use for the MIP UD unit (500mA recommended).

•Ethernet network connector (10/100 Mbps).

•DHCP server present on the local network or an available IP address to be used with the MIP UD.

•UDP port to use with for the MIP UD communication with the monitoring station (default port: 80).

•Destination IP addresses of the VisorALARM receivers where the MIP UD will be sending alarms and other events.

•Panel account ID number (CID).

•Installer password (provided by the monitoring station man- aging the VisorALARM IP receiver).
