GET Cellular Communicator¶

1. Description¶

The communicator is designed to transmit event messages from the control panel to the CMS (Central Monitoring Station) and the Protegus2 application.

Cellular/Ethernet communicator GET can be directly connected to DSC, Paradox, UTC Interlogix (CADDX), Texecom, Innerrange, Honeywell control panels. The communicator can also be connected to the telephone communicators (which supports the Contact ID communication protocol transmitted by DTMF tones) of control panels.

Communicator transmits full event information to the Central Monitoring Station.

Communicator works with Protegus2 application. With Protegus2 users can control their alarm system remotely and get notifications about security system events. The Protegus2 app works with all security alarm panels from various manufacturers to which the GET communicator is connected. Communicator can transmit event notifications to the Central Monitoring Station and work with Protegus2 simultaneously.

1.1 Features¶

Connects to the control panel's serial or keyboard bus or telephone line (TIP/RING).

Sends events to monitoring station receiver:

• Sends events to TRIKDIS software or hardware receivers that work with any monitoring software.

• Can send event messages to SIA DC-09 receivers.

• Can send event messages to SUR-GARD receivers. The annex has a table for converting Contact ID codes to SIA codes.

• Monitoring the connection by sending a PING request to the IP receiver every 30 seconds (or by user defined period).

• Backup channel, that will be used if connection with the primary channel is lost.

• With parallel communication channel events can be sent to two receivers at same time.

• When Protegus2 service is enabled, events are first delivered to CMS, and only then are sent to app users.

Works with Protegus2 app:

• “Push” and special sound notifications informing about events.

• Remote system Arm/Disarm.

• Remote control of connected devices (lights, gates, ventilation systems, heating, sprinklers, etc.).

• Different user rights for administrator, installer and user.

Notifies users:

• Users can be notified about events with Protegus2 app.

Controllable outputs and inputs:

• 2 double I/O terminals that can be set either as input (IN) or controllable output (OUT) terminals.

• Outputs controlled by the Protegus2 app.

Quick setup:

• Settings can be saved to file and quickly written to other communicators.

• Two access levels for configuring the device for CMS administrator and for installer.

• Remote configuration and firmware updates.

6. Communicator settings¶

Most GET settings described below can be changed in the Protegus app or in TrikdisConfig; settings and actions available in only one tool are marked. What each setting does is described once; each section shows where to find it in each tool. Names in brackets are the Protegus app's labels where they differ from TrikdisConfig's.

6.1 Connecting to the communicator¶

6.2 System settings¶

“General” settings group

• Object ID (Account No.) – if the events will be sent to the CMS (Central Monitoring Station), enter the account number provided by the CMS (6 characters hexadecimal number, 0-9, A-F. Do not use FFFE, FFFF Object ID).

• Module ID (Device account No.) – enter the identification number of the module.

• Time set - select which server to use for time synchronization.

“Access” settings group

When setting up the communicator GET there are two levels of access for, the administrator and the installer:

• Administrator code - allows you to access all configuration fields (default code - 123456).

• Installer code - limited access for configuring the communicator (default code - 654321).

• Only an administrator can restore - if the box is checked, factory settings can be restored only by entering the administrator code.

• Allow installer to change – the administrator can specify which settings can be changed by the installer: Account number, CMS reporting, User reporting, SIM card and Event summary.

6.3 Panel settings¶

“TLC” settings group

The communicator is connected to the TIP RING terminals of the telephone communicator of the control panel.

• Communication protocol (Security panel model) – enable/disable DTMF landline interface on the communicator.

• First HSK tone / Second HSK tone – handshake tone of control panel.

• Use security panel account ID – if the box is marked with a check mark, the communicator will not send the value set in the "Object ID" field, but the object number entered in the control panel.

• Wait acknowledgment from CMS – if the box is marked with a check mark, after sending each event message, the communicator will wait for confirmation from the IP receiver that it has successfully received the message. If the communicator does not receive a confirmation signal, it will not generate a “kiss-off” signal. If the communication end signal is not received, the control panel's telephone communicator will repeat the event message.

• Dial tone frequency - the frequency at which the communicator communicates with the control panel through the telephone communicator.

  In the Protegus app, the TLF screen also has Dial tone enabled, which turns the dial tone on or off; Dial tone frequency can only be changed while it is on.

“Serial bus” settings group

The communicator is connected to the control panel via a Serial Bus.

• Event coding protocol (Protocol) – select the event reporting protocol (CID or SIA).

• Security panel model – select the control panel model that will be connected to the communicator.

• Remote Arm/Disarm – when the checkbox is selected, the GET will directly control the control panel remotely. This setting will be visible only for directly controlled panels. For direct control of the control panels you need to change the panel settings, as described in section 4.1 “Programming of control panels when the communicator is connected to the keypad bus or serial bus”.

• Event – check the box so that the communicator sends events to the CMS and to Protegus2. In the Protegus app this switch is shown but cannot be changed.

• Security panel PC download password (PC download password; for Texecom, the UDL passcode) - for the direct control of Paradox and Texecom control panels you need to enter the PC/UDL password. It must match the password that was entered in the control panel. How to change this password is described in section 4.1 “Programming of control panels when the communicator is connected to the keypad bus or serial bus”.

6.4 CMS reporting¶

Events can be sent over several channels of communication. The primary and parallel communication channels can operate simultaneously, this way the communicator can send events to two receivers at the same time. Backup channels can be assigned for both primary and parallel channels, which will be used when the connection via the primary or parallel channel is interrupted.

Communication is encoded and password protected. With the TRK protocols, a TRIKDIS receiver is required for receiving and sending event information to the monitoring programs (DC-09 and TL150 are for universal and SUR-GUARD receivers, see Protocol below):

• For connection over IP - software receiver IPcom Windows/Linux, hardware IP/SMS receiver RL14 or multichannel receiver RM14.

6.4.1 Receiver channels¶

“Primary channel” settings group

• Communication type - select the method of communication with the monitoring station receiver (IP).

• Protocol - select in which coding the events should be sent: TRK8 (to TRIKDIS receivers), DC-09_2007 or DC-09_2012 (to universal receivers), TL150 (to SUR-GUARD receivers).

• Encryption key (TRK encryption key; for DC-09 protocols, Enable encryption key and DC-09 encryption key, with HEX for a key in hexadecimal) - message encryption key. The key written to the communicator must match the receiver’s key. In the Protegus app, the TRK encryption key takes up to 6 characters and the DC-09 encryption key up to 16 (32 in HEX).

• Domain or IP - enter the domain or IP address of the receiver.

• Port - enter the network port number of the receiver.

• TCP or UDP - select in which protocol (TCP or UDP) the events should be sent.

“Primary channel Backup” settings group

Enable the backup channel mode to send events via backup channel if connection via primary channel is lost. Backup channel settings are same as described above.

“Parallel channel” settings group

Events are transmitted in parallel with the primary channel through this channel. When the second channel is enabled, events can be sent simultaneously to two receivers (e.g., local and centralized monitoring stations). Parallel channel settings are the same as described above.

6.4.2 Test, ping and reporting mode¶

“Settings” settings group

• Test period - TEST event period for testing the connection. Test events are sent as Contact ID messages and forwarded to the monitoring software.

• IP ping period – period for sending internal PING heartbeats. These messages are only sent via IP channel. The receiver will not forward PING messages to the monitoring software to avoid overloading it. Notifications will only be sent to the monitoring software if the receiver fails to receive PING messages from the device within the set time.

By default, the “Connection lost” notification will be transmitted to the monitoring software if the PING message is not received by the receiver over a time period three times longer than set in the device. E.g. if the PING period is set for 3 minutes, the receiver will transfer the “Connection lost” notification if a PING message is not received within 9 minutes.

PING messages keep the active communication session between the device and the receiver. An active session is required for remote connection, control and configuration of the device. We recommend setting the PING period for no more than 5 minutes.

• Backup reporting after - indicates the number of unsuccessful attempts to send the message via “Primary” channel. If device fails to transmit specified number of times, the device will connect to transmit the messages via “Backup” channel.

• Return from backup after - time after which the communicator GET will attempt to reconnect and transmit messages via the Primary channel.

• Line No. - enter line number of the receiver.

• Receiver No. - enter the receiver number.

“Reporting mode” settings group

For setting parameters on how the control panel will communicate with the CMS channels and with Protegus2. The connection types are specified in order. If the control panel fails to connect using the “Main type” connection , it switches to the “Backup type”, and so on. If the backup connection type was successful in transmitting the message to the CMS, then the “Return to main” connection type will be attempted after the specified time interval.

• Main type – select a connection type (LAN, SIM1, SIM2) with the CMS receiver and Protegus2.

• Backup type – select a connection type (LAN, SIM1, SIM2) with the CMS receiver and Protegus2.

• Backup type 2 – select a connection type (LAN, SIM1, SIM2) with the CMS receiver and Protegus2.

• Communication path test – specify the time period for which the selected connection types should be tested (LAN, SIM1, SIM2).

6.5 User reporting¶

Protegus2 service allows users to remotely monitor and control the communicator. For more information about Protegus2 service, visit web.protegus.app.

“Protegus Cloud” settings group

• Enable connection (Enabled) – enable the Protegus2 service, the GET communicator will be able to exchange data with Protegus2 app and to be remotely configured via TrikdisConfig.

• Protegus Cloud access Code (Cloud access code) - 6-digit code for connecting to the Protegus2 app (default - 123456).

• Parallel reporting (shown in the app when the firmware supports it) – allow parallel report sending using the primary channel and to Protegus2. Reports will only be sent to Protegus2 and to users after they’ve been sent to the security company.
