Introduction
AlarmNet’s 7847i Internet Communication Module and 7847i-E Internet/Intranet Communication Module were developed to transport alarm signals via the Internet or Private LAN
(7847i-E only). These easy-to-install devices provide sophisticated data security and
communicate with all AlarmNet central stations through AlarmNet’s server, or directly to a
7810PC or 7810iR-ent Internet/Intranet receiver in a private network application (7847i-E).
In addition to alarm reporting, the 7847i and 7847i-E provide upload/downloading capability
via the internet or a Private LAN (7847i-E only).

The 7847i-E is not UL Listed.

System Features
Basic features of the 7847i and 7847i-E include:
•

Easy CAT-5 10 BaseT connection to a hub or router

•

Installs behind firewalls without compromising network security

•

Supports dynamic or static IP addressing

•

Quick connection to compatible Honeywell series control panels

•

Simple programming using a 7720P programming tool or AlarmNet Direct website

•

Reports fire, burg, and status messages via the Internet (or Intranet for 7847i-E)

•

Allows uploading and downloading of control panel data over the Internet (or Intranet for
7847i-E)

•

Supports remote control of alarm systems via Remote Access feature, and email notification
of events via Multi-Mode feature (Web Service)

About Private Network Application
The 7847i-E may be configured to transmit signals within a private network application to a
7810PC or 7810iR-ent receiver. Up to 300 7847i-E Internet/Intranet Communication
Modules may be routed to a single 7810PC or 7810iR-ent receiver. In a private network
application, the signals are not routed to the AlarmNet Control Center (see Figure 1).

Figure 1. 7810PC or 7810iR-ent/7847i-E Intranet/Internet Block Diagram
The 7847i/7847i-E module requires an AlarmNet–i account. For new installations, please
obtain the account information from the central station prior to programming this module.
For replacement installations, the AlarmNet-i account is created automatically when the
module is registered (based on the existing account).

About AlarmNet-i Internet Application
AlarmNet-i is a fully encrypted, secure method of delivering alarm messages from a
protected premise to an AlarmNet equipped central station. An Internet Communicator
Module transmits status, supervisory, and alarm messages to the AlarmNet Control Center
using a broadband Internet connection (see Figure 1).
The AlarmNet Control Center identifies, validates, and forwards the messages to the
appropriate AlarmNet central station. An Internet receiver, 7810PC or 7810iR-ent, is
required when receiving Internet signals from the AlarmNet Control Center. AlarmNet-i
has an unlimited account capacity.

Encryption
The 7847i/7847i-E and 7810PC or 7810iR-ent support private key encryption. Private key
encryption means that both the sender and the receiver know the KEY used to encrypt the
data. Each device produced by Honeywell is loaded with a globally unique identifier called a
MAC number, and a large random number or KEY. This KEY and MAC number are also
stored in the AlarmNet servers. When a device contacts AlarmNet it sends the MAC number
in the clear followed by the message that is encrypted using the KEY data. The server looks
up its copy of the KEY based on the MAC number and uses that KEY to decrypt the
message.
The communication devices use 256 bit AES (Rijndael) encryption (which is required for
certain government installations). The AlarmNet-i AES Encryption Software Module
Version 1.0 contained in the Honeywell products has NIST approval. Listings for this
approval can be found at http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/aes/aesval.html Certification
number 127.

Enterprise Encryption Related Functions
The previous paragraph described general encryption, and how it functions with AlarmNet.
When used in a Private closed network or Enterprise installations, some additional processes
are required to support encryption. In an enterprise installation the 7810PC or 7810iR-ent
takes on the server function that exists in the AlarmNet Internet installation and has a
process to learn the MAC numbers and KEYs for which it will be responsible.

Installation Key (for Private LAN)
At installation a 10-digit installation key needs to be programmed into every device in the
network. This 10-digit key should be the same for all devices used in the Private LAN mode.
The purpose of this key is to encrypt the private KEY of each subscriber device as it is
registered to the 7810PC or 7810iR-ent so this sensitive data is never sent in the clear. This
KEY is only used for registration purposes and is not used for supervision or alarm
1-2

Section 1: General Information
transmission. Once a device is registered the 7810iR-ent will have a copy of the 7847i-E’s
factory KEY. From this point on the unique factory key is used for communications.

Recovery Mode
Recovery Mode is only available when in Private LAN mode. In the event of a failure of the
7810PC or 7810iR-ent requiring the replacement of the hardware or the erasure of its
memory, the 7810PC or 7810iR-ent supports a Recovery Mode. In Recovery Mode, the
7810PC or 7810iR-ent is programmed with the same 10-digit installation key. When a
7847i-E communicates with the 7810PC or 7810iR-ent and is found not to exist in its
database, a special response is sent back to the 7847i-E requesting it to re-register itself.
The 7847i-E then registers using the 10-digit installation key. When all accounts have been
recovered, Recovery Mode can be turned off to provide better control of registration.

Remote Services

Remote Access and Multi-Mode have not been evaluated by UL.

Honeywell now offers a new series of web based services that provides consumers with the
ability to communicate with their security system remotely in a number of ways. These new
web services will allow users to:
•

Access their security system from a computer via a website (Remote Access feature)

•

Receive email and text message notifications of system events (Multi-Mode feature)

•

Perform system functions and receive confirmations using text messages (SMS feature)

Dealers will initially enroll their customers for web services during account programming
through the AlarmNet Direct website. The features that can be enabled include Remote
Access and Multi-Mode. Once enabled, the specific programming fields associated with these
features can be programmed into the communications device either remotely using the
AlarmNet Direct website or locally using the 7720P programming tool.

Modes of Operation

ULC

Only ECP Mode has been approved for ULC installations.

The 7847i and 7847i-E provide four modes of operation so they can be used with various
types of control panels, as summarized below:
ECP Mode
•

This mode is for use with Honeywell controls that support LRR-ECP communication

•

The module connects to the control’s keypad terminals and provides 2-way communication
with the control using ECP messaging

•

The control treats the module as a Long Range Radio (LRR) device, so program the control
accordingly, including setting the module’s proper LRR device address

•

Panel-generated reports are sent in Contact ID format

•

The module also supports two hardwire zone trigger inputs (zones 6 and 7) – these report in
ADEMCO High-Speed format

Zone Trigger Mode
•

This mode is for use with controls that do not support LRR-ECP communication nor 4204
Relay Modules

•

The module provides six input zones

•

Each zone can be configured for +V, -V, or EOLR triggering

•

Each zone can be programmed for inverted operation, delayed reporting, and restoral
reporting

1-3

7847i/7847i-E Installation and Setup Guide
•

Zone 1 and 2 inputs can distinguish between pulsed and steady signals and report fire or
burglary alarms respectively

•

Zone 1 and 2 inputs can also be programmed to report LYNX panic (if used with LYNX
control)

•

Reports are sent in ADEMCO High-Speed format

4204 Mode and Two-4204 Mode
•

This mode is for use with Honeywell controls that do not support LRR-ECP communication,
but that do support 4204 Relay Modules

•

The module connects to the control’s keypad terminals

•

The control treats the module as 4204 Relay Module(s), so program the control accordingly,
including setting the module’s proper 4204 device address

•

4204 mode provides up to four zone inputs, plus two optional trigger zones, depending on
options programmed

•

Two-4204 mode provides up to eight zone inputs, depending on options programmed

•

Each 4204 zone can be programmed for delayed reporting and restoral reporting

•

Reports are sent in ADEMCO High-Speed format

Module Supervision Features
The 7847i/7847i-E provides the following types of supervision and module fault detection:
•

Network communication failure: In the event the AlarmNet network does not hear a
supervisory message from the module within a specified time (“Supervision” option),
AlarmNet notifies the central station of a communication failure.

•

Fault output: Terminal 11 can serve as a fail-safe trigger for module fault conditions.
If used, the fault relay will trip when the following conditions occur; tamper*, loss of network
connectivity*, the device is not registered and the device is remotely disabled by AlarmNet.
* Alarm reporting for the noted condition must be enabled for it to trigger the fault relay.

•

Cover tamper condition (“Tamper Rpt” option).

7847i/7847i-E Installation and Setup Guide

Wiring the 7847i/7847i-E
Unshielded, 22 AWG cable is recommended for 7847i/7847i-E power/data wires.

ULC

For ULC Household Fire and Burglary installations, use ECP wiring only.

Wiring for ECP, 4204 and Two-4204 Modes
Most Honeywell ADEMCO control panels support LRR-ECP data communication, (e.g.,
VISTA-10P, VISTA-15P, VISTA-20P, LynxR-I, VISTA-128BP/250BP and the
VISTA-128FBP/250FP). However, there are some panels that do not. Check the Installation
and Setup Guide for the control panel you are using to see if it supports ECP communication.
Connect the 7847i/7847i-E to a compatible Honeywell VISTA control panel's ECP terminals,
in parallel with keypads and other peripheral devices, VIP module, etc. Wire length/gauge
limitations are the same for the module as they are for keypads and other peripheral devices.
To wire the module for ECP communication, see Figure 3 and do the following:

Figure 4. Wiring a LynxR-I for ECP Mode
Wiring for Zone Trigger Mode
To trip the zone on the 7847i/7847i-E in V+ trigger mode, the positive triggering voltage from
the control panel must be within 2.0V-14V.
Trigger levels above this range may cause permanent damage to the unit.
Trigger levels below this range result in unreliable operation.
To trip the zone on the 7847i/7847i-E in V- trigger mode, the negative triggering voltage
must be less than 1.0V.
NOTE: LynxR and LynxR-EN have a designated trigger for V- trigger.
Connect a wire from the triggering source (bell output, voltage trigger, etc.) of the control
panel to the zone input of the module, and connect a common ground between the module
and control panel.

The configurations shown in Figures 5a and 5b have not been evaluated by UL.

Power Connections and Options
Primary power for the 7847i/7847i-E is provided by the auxiliary power output of the control
panel 9.6V –13.8V, typical, or other external power source.
When calculating the total load on the auxiliary power output of the control panel, 20mA
must be budgeted for the 7847i/7847i-E. Under normal operating conditions, the unit will
not pull more than 20mA; however, it will draw 75mA during a transmission.
Connect the wires from the (+) and (–) terminals of the DC power source to terminals V+ and
GND on TB1 of the 7847i/7847i-E. Observe Polarity!
If using an external power source, connect GND from power supply to GND of the control

General Information
To the control panel, the 7847i/7847i-E Internet/Intranet Communication Modules, when in
ECP Mode, is treated as a long-range radio device.

The 7847i/7847i-E can be configured to deliver alarms via the Internet to an AlarmNet
central station or via a Private LAN (7847i-E only) directly to a 7810PC or 7810iR-ent
receiver. Both methods of communication are encrypted to ensure security. The 7847i and
7847i-E use 256-bit AES (Rijndael) encryption (which is required for certain government
installations).
The 7847i/7847i-E modules require an AlarmNet–i account, except when Private LAN is
enabled on the 7847i-E. Obtain the account information from the central station prior to
programming this module.

You can program a 7847i/7847i-E by one of the following methods:
•

Through the AlarmNet Direct website

•

Through use of a 7720P Programming Tool

•

Using the Control Panel Programming Mode
Some control panels support programming of the 7847i/7847i-E through the control panel
programming mode (e.g., Vista-128BP). If programming through the control panel, only the
ECP Mode programming options are available. The "mode" questions will not be displayed,
and the mode cannot be changed. For a description of key functions on the control panel
keypad, and how they map to the 7720P Programming tool, refer to the control panel's
Programming Guide.
Programming Conventions
Programming is accomplished by answering a series of prompts (questions). Most prompts
require only a [Y]es or [N]o response, while others require a numerical response (ID
numbers, etc.).
The current value is displayed on the second line in parentheses ( ). A "?" indicates an
invalid entry.
Use the [ENTER] key to accept the current entry and proceed to the next prompt. If the
current value is invalid, pressing [ENTER] re-displays the prompt; the next prompt is not
displayed until a valid answer is entered.
Use the up/down arrow keys to scroll through the programming questions without changing
any values. Press the [ESC] key to go to the end of the list of questions.

Important Information Regarding Multi-Mode Options
Users can receive email notification of system events by using the Multi-Mode feature. In ECP mode, this is
accomplished through emulation of a 4204 relay module, or two 4204 relay modules. When “4204-Sourced” is
selected, the user can be notified of up to four events, plus two additional events if using the optional communication
device zones of 6 and 7. When “2-4204-Sourced” is selected, the user can be notified of up to eight system events.
The Multi-Mode address must match the address of a relay module enabled in the control panel (although you don’t
actually connect a module). If using “2-4204-Sourced,” the address of the second module is automatically assigned
the next device address after the first 4204. Make sure that address is also enabled in the control panel. Program
outputs to trigger on system events the user would like to be notified of through Output Device (Relay) programming
in the control panel. Outputs 1-4 on the first 4204 Device Address map to events 1-4. Outputs 1-4 on the second 4204
Device Address map to events 5-8.
For LynxR-I/ReadyGuardR-I series controls (when available), if "4204 Sourced" is selected, you must enable MultiMode Address 6 or 7 in the control panel. If "2-4204" Sourced is selected, you must enable both (program field *86.
These events are configured at the AlarmNet Total Connect website at: https://services.alarmnet.com/TotalConnect
Multi-Mode (email notification) is intended as a convenience for the user, and does not replace Central Station

UL NOTE: Must be set to "Y."

Sends a tamper report on zone 6 when the module
detects a tamper condition. A tamper restore is
automatically sent when the tamper condition clears.
Important Information Regarding Zone Input Options
ECP mode supports two optional hardwire zone input triggers by making connections to the module’s zone 6 and/or
zone 7 terminals and programming the appropriate zone trigger options below.
Each zone input can be programmed to cause an alarm under one of the following conditions:
• (V+), where a positive voltage causes an alarm for normally low connections (voltage trigger, NO, NC)
• (V–), where a ground trigger causes an alarm for normally high connections (open collector, NO, NC)
• (EOLR) End of Line Resistor, where the input is supervised by a 2K EOL resistor. The zone can be triggered
by open collector, voltage trigger, NO, NC.
In addition to the above, zones can be programmed for an Inverted Trigger, where the alarm and normal states of the
zones are inverted; this can serve a fail-safe supervisory purpose for certain installations.
These zone inputs can also be programmed for restore reporting, and for delayed reporting, which allows time for the
user to abort false alarms.
NOTE: Optional hardwire zones report in ADEMCO High-Speed format.

ECP Status Codes
When the 7847i/7847i-E is configured for ECP mode, it sends status messages to the control
panels (e.g., VISTA-10P, VISTA-15P and VISTA-20P series), for tamper, and network
connectivity failures. Some of the control panels display these on the keypad as "LngRng
Radio" followed by a 4-digit code (listed in table 4). In addition, the Contact ID codes (listed
in Appendix B) for these conditions are sent to the central station by the module.

Alternative Modes (Zone Trigger, 4204 and Two-4204)
Zone Trigger Mode
There are six input zones available on the 7847i/7847i-E. Zones 1 and 2 are located on TB1
pin 5 and are selectable for +V, –V, or EOLR modes, which can detect both pulsed and steady
signals. The pulsed signal is reported as an alarm on zone 1 (Fire); the steady signal is
reported as an alarm on zone 2 (Burg). The implied pulse count for zone 1 is fixed to 3
pulses. The unit can be programmed to detect a single pulse on the input, characteristic of a
Panic indication on the Lynx Control Panel. If the programming option “Lynx Panic” is
enabled, the unit reports an alarm on zone 3 when it detects this single pulse. No restores
are reported for this zone.
Zones 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are voltage trigger inputs located on TB1 pins 6-10. If the Lynx Panic
feature is being used, do not connect zone 3.
4204 Emulation Mode
In the 4204 Emulation Mode, the 7847i/7847i-E communicates with a compatible Honeywell
VISTA series or First Alert control panel as though it were a 4204 Relay Module. If the Two
4204 Mode is enabled in the module, it acts as two 4204s at consecutive device addresses.
The control panel must be configured to recognize one or two 4204 relay modules accordingly.
On VISTA-32FB (or higher) control panels and First Alert equivalents, addresses 6 and 13
should not be used when the secondary 4204 is enabled. Messages are sent in Honeywell
High-Speed format.
NOTE: See your control panel Installation and Setup Guide for the number of 4204 modules
supported. The LynxR-I does not support 4204 mode.
4204 Emulation Mode Options
For control panels that do not support ECP communication, the 4204 Emulation modes
provide a means of sending up to eight unique reports based on defined system conditions.
In 4204 mode, the 7847i/7847i-E functions as a logical 4204 Relay Module, where each relay
number, referred in the module as zone number, can be programmed to send a report based
on the output function programmed in the control for that relay. Each relay-zone can also be
programmed to send a restore message of the reported condition, can be set to delay
transmission of messages, and can be programmed to send reports only when a conditional
zone is triggered (armed), (see Zone Input Options later in this section).

7847i/7847i-E Installation and Setup Guide
In single 4204 mode, the unit supports up to four relay-zones. In two-4204 mode, the unit
functions as two 4204 modules, supporting up to eight relay-zones.
4204 Relay Outputs map to 7847i/7847i-E zones as follows:
First 4204 Zones

Second 4204 Zones

(device address entered in Prompt 23):

(device address entered in Prompt 23, plus 1):

Relay 1 = Zone 1
Relay 2 = Zone 2
Relay 3 = Zone 3
Relay 4 = Zone 4 or conditional zone trigger if
“report only if armed” is selected in
any zone 1-3 when using single 4204
mode.
NOTE: Zone 4 status is not reported when
being used as the conditional (armed) trigger
zone.

Relay 1 = Zone 5
Relay 2 = Zone 6
Relay 3 = Zone 7
Relay 4 = Zone 8 or conditional zone trigger if
“report only if armed” is selected in
any zone 1-7 when using two-4204
mode.
NOTE: Zone 8 status is not reported when
being used as the conditional (armed) trigger
zone or if tamper reporting is enabled.

When using the 7847i/7847i-E in 4204 Emulation Mode, DO NOT enable the Long-Range
Radio module in control panel programming. Instead, enable 4204 relay module address(es)
and program the appropriate relay activation functions for the relay-zones being used. In
some control panels, it is called “relay programming” and in others it is called “output device
programming.” It is recommended that the “close and stay closed” (usually choice 2) action is
selected. Selection of momentary activation will cause the unit to generate an alarm and
NOT a restore, even if the unit is programmed to send a restore for the given zone.
In 4204 mode, messages are reported in ADEMCO High-Speed format. Zone alarms (status
7) are reported with “1” (alarm) or “3” (restore) displayed in the zone position for the respective zone (e.g. alarm on zone 2: 5155 5555 7; restore 5355 5555 7). A supervision fault
trouble message is automatically sent if the module detects no activity on its connection to
the control. The message is: 5555 5515 5; restore message is: 5555 5535 5.
Refer to Table 5 for 4204 Emulation Mode programming and follow the prompts that pertain
to 4204 or Two-4204 mode. A check mark ( ) indicates whether the prompt applies to that
mode.

DESCRIPTION

Applies only if used with a Lynx, LynxR or
LynxR-EN control LRR trigger connected to the
module's zone terminal.
Reports a Panic alarm on zone 3 when the module
detects a single pulse on zone 1.
No restores are generated for a Panic alarm.

Important Information Regarding Zone Input Options
If desired, 4204 mode supports two optional hardwire zone input triggers by making connections to the module’s zone
6 and/or zone 7 terminals and programming the appropriate zone trigger options below.
NOTE: These triggers are not available when using 2-4204 mode.
Zone Trigger Mode provides six hardwire zone input triggers by making connections to the module’s zone terminals
and programming the appropriate zone trigger options below. Zones are numbered 1-7, with zone 2 serving as a
reporting zone only (see Bell Output Zone below).
Bell Output Zone 1 (and 2): The zone 1 and 2 terminal can detect both pulsed and steady signals. If connecting the
bell output to the 7847i/7847i-E zone causes a bell fault on the control panel, enable the "Trip Inputs 1or2" option. The
7847i/7847i-E reports an alarm on zone 1 (fire) when it detects a pulsed signal and an alarm on zone 2 (burglary) when
it detects a steady signal.
Telco Zone and Open/Close Zone: Dedicated zones can be assigned as the Telco fault zone and/or an open/close
(arm/disarm) reporting zone. When triggered, these zones report a Telco line fault or open/close report respectively, in
ADEMCO High-Speed format. Connect the appropriate trigger from the control to the selected zone input for each of
these options.
Input Trigger Types: Triggering of each zone input can be programmed to cause an alarm under one of the following
conditions:
• (V+), where a positive voltage causes an alarm for normally low connections (voltage trigger, NO, NC)
• (V–), where a ground trigger causes an alarm for normally high connections (open collector, NO, NC)
• (EOLR) End of Line Resistor, where the input is supervised by a 2K EOL resistor. The zone can be triggered by
open collector, voltage trigger, NO, NC.
Inverted Trigger: Zones can be programmed for inverted trigger, where the alarm and normal states of the zones are
inverted; this can serve a fail-safe supervisory purpose for certain installations.
Restore and Delayed Reports: Zone inputs can be programmed for restore reporting, and for delayed reporting
(allowing time for the user to abort false alarms).
UL NOTE: Zone restoral must be enabled.
Report Only if Armed option: To help eliminate redundant reports, zone alarms can be restricted to report only if a
conditional zone is triggered (armed). If this feature is desired, the conditional zone is automatically used as the
“arming” zone. Connect the appropriate control panel trigger to the conditional (arming) zone. The trigger must be
programmed as necessary in the control panel. The conditional (arming) zone on the module is a different dedicated
zone for each programming mode, as follows:
Mode
Zone Trigger

Conditional (Arming) Zone
7

4204
2-4204

IMPORTANT: If any zone (zones 1-6 in zone trigger mode, zones 1-3 in 4204 mode, zones 1-7 in 2-4204 mode) is set for
Report Only if Armed, the conditional (arming) zone becomes unavailable for reporting (as it is reserved for the
“arming” trigger connection).

To complete the registration process, a 7847i/7847i-E transmits a registration message and
receives a registration validation indicating that the account is now enabled.
You can register the 7847i/7847i-E by one of the following methods:
•

Through the AlarmNet Direct website

•

Through use of the Tamper Switch

•

Through use of a 7720P Programming Tool

•

By phone.

Registering through AlarmNet Direct Website (does not apply if using Private LAN)
If you have programmed the module through AlarmNet Direct, you must then transfer the
data to the module, and register the module.
To do this, please go to: https://services.alarmnet.com/AlarmNetDirect/userlogin.aspx.
Log in and follow the on-screen prompts.
Please have the following information available when programming the device:

7847i/7847i-E Installation and Setup Guide
Using the Tamper Switch
Initiate the registration sequence by clicking the Tamper Switch three times.
You can monitor the registration process by viewing the Status Display. The Message
(yellow) LED and the Status (green) LED will blink slowly in unison while the registration is
in progress.
Once the registration has been completed successfully, the 7847i/7847i-E enters normal
operating mode; the Status (green) LED goes out and the Message (yellow) LED is lit to
indicate that the power-on / reset message is waiting to be sent. This message will appear at
the receiving station as “E339 8xx”, where “xx” is the ECP device address. The description
may read “Trouble – Exp. Mod. Reset”. If registration is not validated within 90 seconds, the
unit times out, and the (green) LED will be lit (solid).
If repeated registration attempts time out, check your Internet connection and verify that
7847i/7847i-E account information has been entered correctly.
The power-on/reset message will be sent in ADEMCO High-Speed format if the module is
programmed for zone trigger, 4204 or 2x4204 modes.
Using the Programming Tool
The interactive registration feature allows the installer to register the 7847i/7847i-E through
a series of keyboard commands on the 7720P Programming Tool. This method of registration
lets the installer monitor the registration process.

Appendix C: IP Downloading
General Information
The 7847i/7847i-E can be used to provide high-speed up/downloading to Honeywell VISTA
and LynxR-I control panels. This allows site maintenance independent of central station
monitoring, and modification to sites through an Intranet or globally via the Internet.
Residential panels that support IP downloading (e.g., Vista-20P and LynxR-I) are connected
to the unit through the ECP bus. Currently, commercial controls such as VISTA-128BP and
FBP support IP downloading through use of a Direct Wire connection (using the trigger
cable).

Downloading may only be performed if a technician is at the site.

Direct Wire Setup
To perform IP up/downloading using Direct Wire, the unit requires that Direct Wire
downloading over IP programming is enabled (Direct Wire Y/N), and that the ECP Device
Address on which the unit communicates with the control panel as a keypad is entered
(Keypad Address). Additionally, the 7847i/7847i-E must be connected by cable as shown
below to the panels listed.
NOTES:
1. For Direct Wire IP downloading on Commercial Fire panels (e.g. VISTA-128FBP,
FA1700C), Program Field 3*19 Enable J2 Header Printer Port must be set to "1".
2. This feature is not available if device is set for zone trigger mode.
3. If using the RS232 Home Automation features, you cannot use Direct Wire Downloading.
This includes customers using WinpakSE and ProWatch.

Appendix D: Glossary
AES – Advanced Encryption Standard
DHCP – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Provides a mechanism for allocating IP
addresses dynamically so that addresses can be reused when hosts no longer need them.
DNS – Domain Name System. A distributed hierarchical naming system used to resolve
domain names (e.g., www.yahoo.com) into numerical IP addresses (e.g., 204.17.25.1.).
DSL – Digital Subscriber Line
Gateway IP Address – A gateway (sometimes called a router) is a computer and/or software
used to connect two or more networks (including incompatible networks) and translates
information from one network to the other. The Gateway IP address is the IP address for the
gateway.
IP – Internet Protocol
IP Address – A unique number consisting of four parts separated by periods, sometimes
called a "dotted quad.," for example: 204.17.29.11, assigned to every computer/workstation
connected to the Internet. IP numbers can be "static" (assigned and unchanging) or
"dynamic," assigned via DHCP at each and every startup.
ISP – Internet Service Provider
LAN – Local Area Network
MAC Address – The hardware address of a device connected to a network.
NAT – Network Address Translation
PPP – Point-to-Point Protocol
PPPoE – Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
Subnet Mask – A Subnet is a portion of a network that shares a network address with other
portions of the network, and is distinguished by a subnet number. The Subnet Mask is a 32bit address mask used in IP to indicate the bits of an IP address that are being used for the
subnet address.
TCP/IP – Transmission Control Protocol / Internet protocol
