secondary port will use the backup phone line for 24 hour test signals or when the network may go down. See your panel’s manual for correct programming. Do not forget to program the panels 24 hour test parameters.

•Test your system’s ability to communicate with the Central Station Receiver. Insure that the backup phone line is communicating with the central station. This can be done by disconnecting the primary IP connection and observing that the panel dials out the backup phone line. Confirm that the central station received the communication lost signals.

DHCP Theory of Operation:

The following information is not required for configuration but is included for further understanding of DHCP

DHCP is used in private networks to auto-configure not only the IP addresses and masks of the network hosts (PC’s, IPDACT’s, etc), but also their default gateways. As example, consider your DSL router at home, which typically supports a DHCP server. This means you don’t need to fix any IP parameter in your home PC (you just set it to obtain the IP parameters automatically). You could connect an IPDACT to your home router and activate its DHCP so it can also take the IP address, mask and gateway from your home router internal DHCP server. In other words, DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) simply selects an unused network address and supplies all network information, IP address and mask automatically so that there will be no conflicts. This can be a permanent “lease” or set to expire after a period of time. After a set time, the lease can be reacquired and a new IP address obtained.
