Uploading/Downloading via the Internet
UL: Up/downloading via the Internet has not been evaluated by UL.
This control, when used with a compatible Internet/Intranet Communication Device, supports upload/download
programming capability via the Internet using the AlarmNet network or, depending on the communication module
used, a Private local area network (Intranet). This allows site maintenance independent of central station
monitoring, and modification to sites globally via the Internet. Depending on the module used, Internet connection
from the protected premises is either via high speed (broadband) cable or phone service, or via the digital cellular
network.
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 a
Private LAN (Intranet).
Compatible Communication Modules: Current AlarmNet communicators support Cell or Internet
uploading/downloading.

installed on the same computer if desired. If they are
installed on one computer, the computer must have a fixed
IP 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 module
supervision.
4. Using the module’s programming menus (via 29 Menu mode or 7720P programmer), program the
communication 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 can
take 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.
