2G Alarm Communicator Installlation Manual Encryption

NOTE: Following initial installation, you can log in to the Connect24 website at any time to re-configure the Communicator remotely,
using the account created for this installation. For more information, refer to the Connect24 website.
Before leaving the installation site, the Communicator GS2055 or TL255GS shall be connected via an APPROVED (acceptable
to the local authorities) Network Interface Device (NID) (e.g., for UL Installations, U60950 listed NID). All wiring shall be per-
formed according to the local electrical codes.
ENCRYPTION
The Communicator uses 128 Bit AES Encryption. Encryption can only be enabled from the monitoring station receiver. Each receiver
can independently have encryption enabled or disabled. When encryption is enabled, the central station will configure the device to
encrypt communications the next time the Communicator module performs a communication to that receiver.
NOTE: Packets will start being encrypted only after the next event is sent to that receiver, or if the unit is restarted.
NOTE: The Alarm Communicator is installed in the
SCW prior to shipment by Digital Security Controls
(DSC). The Factory Installation includes insertion of
the SIM card. The SCW should not be mounted in its
final location without performing a Communicator
Test to ensure adequate HSPA/2G coverage for the
GS2055 and TL255GS Alarm Communicators
INSTALLATION LOCATION
The Communicator shall be installed in an indoor
location only.
This HSPA/2G/Ethernet Communicator shall be
installed by Service Personnel only. (Service Person is
defined as a person having the appropriate technical
training and experience necessary to be aware of haz-
ards to which that person may be exposed in perform-
ing a task and can also take measures to minimize the
risks to that person or other persons). The Communi-
cator shall be installed and used within an environ-
ment that provides the pollution degree max 2, over
voltages category II, in non-hazardous, indoor loca-
tions only. This manual shall be used with the Installa-
tion Manual of the alarm control panel which is connected to the HSPA/2G/Ethernet Communicator. All instructions specified within
the control panel manual must be observed.
All the local rules imposed by local electrical codes shall be observed and respected during installation.
INSTALLING CAT 5 CABLE (TL255GS ONLY)
A Category 5 (CAT 5) ethernet cable must be run from a source with Ethernet/Internet
connectivity to the Communicator module, inside the Self Contained Wireless Control
Panel cabinet. The Communicator end of the cable must have an RJ-45 plug, which con-
nects to the Communicator’s RJ-45 jack. All requirements for installation of CAT5 eth-
ernet cable must be observed for correct operation of the Communicator, including, but
not limited to, the following:
• Do NOT strip off cable sheathing more than required for proper termination.
• Do NOT kink/knot cable.
• Do NOT crush cable with cable ties.
• Do NOT untwist CAT5 pairs more than 1.2cm (½”).
• Do NOT splice cable.
• Do NOT bend cable at right angles or make any other sharp bends.
NOTE: CAT5 specification requires that any cable bend must have a minimum 5 cm (2
in.) bend radius. Maximum length of CAT 5 cable is 100m (328 ft.).
NOTE: The Ethernet cable shall not be visible when the installation is complete unless
the install is a surface mount installation.
