Notes:
1) The number of pin inputs on the 4xx can be extended by 12 using an Extension (EXT) board,
providing a total of 16 pin inputs.
2) The two basic serial RS232 ports on the 4xx can be converted to a single full port if required.
3) The 440G is virtually identical to the 440, except that:
 Ethernet and Cellular will not work/power up, without external power being supplied.
They are disabled when only powered by USB and show a fault message on the
touchscreen accordingly. USB is for programming only.
 Serial port RS232(2) no longer supports 1200 baud.
 There is an AP button, like the 6xx series, so you can default the terminal on power up.
4)
The 240AP has only 3 & 4G with frequencies required for Asia Pacific.

5 Configuring the terminal
IRIS-4 terminals need to be configured the first time they are used. All terminals can be configured with the
Installation Wizard on the physical or virtual touchscreen. The 160 can also be configured using the Installer
app, see section 5.5 “Configuring the 160 using the Installer App”.
The Installation Wizard presents configuration options in predetermined sequences. Once one option is
completed, the wizard automatically moves on to the next option. Sequences vary depending on the
terminal type and the choices you make as you go through the sequence.
5.1 Accessing the Installation Wizard
Access the Installer’s menu as described in section 4.2.4 and 4.2.5.
5.2 Initial configuration settings
If options described in this manual are not visible on the screen, it is because they are not supported on the
terminal type you are using.
Once you have entered your password, see section 4.2.5 “Installer’s password”. the main menu is displayed.
Click “Installation Wizard” to start the Installation Wizard.
Select interfaces
As the terminal can use Ethernet, Wi-Fi, cellular communication and PSTN, the
sequence of options that the installation wizard automatically displays varies to
suit the chosen communication mode:
The first task presented by the Installation Wizard is to select the network
interfaces to be used.
For single path communications, the terminal can use Ethernet, Wi-Fi or cellular paths.
For dual path communications, select cellular and one of the other paths.
If you have installed a PSTN expansion board (EXT2), then the PSTN communication path will be available,
allowing triple path communication.
If you are configuring a 160, Wi-Fi is presented as an option.
Only Ethernet or Wi-Fi can be selected, not both.
Battery backup
For terminals with integral battery backup, the menu ‘Battery backup’ will now
be shown. Tick the box to automatically use the battery backup when needed.
Additional options
Depending on your terminal type, these additional options are available.
Monitor Dial Port
This sets the terminal to monitor the dial port using the 18K resistor (as
supplied in the box). This resistor should be fitted across the A & B terminal of

page 20 IRIS-4 Technical Reference Manual.docx 12/01/2023
the 2-wire analog interface at the alarm panel and allows the terminal to indicate any status change to the
ARC.
The resistor must be fitted at the alarm panel end of the cable to enable the terminal to detect cable faults
and/or tampers correctly. The ARC will also need to enable the dial port monitoring (Panel) on the ISA
receiver software to receive alarm notifications on this status.
Alarm override
This allows the terminal to override and replace the phone and account numbers used by the alarm panel
with the IP address of the ARC and account number entered during configuration. It can be used for dial
port, serial or RS485 connection to alarm panels where you may not have access or cannot change the
account or phone number in the alarm panel itself. This can be useful when converting older alarm panel
sites to work with the IRIS-4 terminal.
Monitor serial
This sets the terminal to monitor the serial ports for activity and report any status changes back to the ARC.
The ARC will also need to enable the serial port monitoring on the ISA receiver software to receive alarm
notifications on this status.
Account name/number
The Account Name/Number screen is then automatically displayed.
To change the name, click «Change»
Enter the account (name/number) provided by the ARC, which can be
alphanumerical and up to 32 characters long. It is normal to have a simple 4- or
6-digit numerical account name. Click «Save».
The new value is then displayed. Click «Continue».
ARC IP address
The ARC IP address screen is then displayed. This address is obtained from the
ARC and would normally be the external IP address for their ISA system.
To change the IP address, click «Change» and enter the ARC IP address, then
click «Save». Confirm that the IP address is correct, then click «Continue».
Note: Only the primary/main ARC IP address needs to be entered on the
terminal, all backup or alternative IP addresses are downloaded from the
ARC to the terminal on the first polling communication.
5.3 Communication configuration
The Installation Wizard now goes through a sequence of setup and test options for each communication
path chosen, in this order; Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Cellular and PSTN. The sequences can vary depending on the
combination of paths chosen and the type of terminal being configured.
The sections immediately below (Test failure messages and Checking S/W version) describe items common
to more than one path.
