D. ConneconRequirementsforRemoteMonitoring
1. IPS-M920W (Wi-Fi)
The remote monitoring module used with the IPS-M920W is a Wi-Fi
device which will access an exisng Wi-Fi network to send controller
data to the central monitoring website.
If an exisng Wi-Fi network is not available, a MiFi or “cellular hotspot”
can be added (contact a local wireless provider).
Note: The Ethernet connector on the M920W is disabled and cannot be
used.
a. How it works:
The remote monitoring module is programmed to “wake
up” at a customer-determined interval (minutes) to send all
current readings, sengs, and alerts to IPS Controllers’ remote
monitoring website.
Because the data is being sent to the website rather than the
website pulling the data from the module, the port is not le
open and a stac IP Address is not needed. This should address
any concerns regarding rewall security.
When changes are made to the controller sengs remotely,
the new sengs are delivered back to the remote monitoring
module on its next scheduled connecon.
b. Setup - Go to Secon IV-A on Page 28 for installaon
instrucons.
2. IPS-M920 (Hardwire)
The remote monitoring module included with the IPS-M920 requires:
• An Ethernet connecon provided by a hard wire directly from a
router,
• A Wi-Fi to Ethernet Adapter,
• Or a Cellular Modem (requires carrier service such as Verizon or
AT&T).
