Preparations
Before installing make sure the following components are present:
Alphatronics AlphaVision NG or XL security alarm system with RS-485 bus
12VDC power supply available from the alarm system (via the RS-485).
Router or switch with a free LAN connection
Working Internet connection
Computer / laptop with Internet Explorer 6 or higher#,Mozilla FireFox, Google Chrome
or compatible browser.
Network cable and optional cross-over network cable for programming
# Note: Internet Explorer 5.0 (or lower) is not supported!
Before installing make sure the following information is known:
The IP address and registration port of the RC-4001 IP or RX-5000/8000 receiver in
the central station including the subscriber number.
The IP address, subnet mask and (local) Gateway that must be programmed into the
AlphaVision IP (+ GPRS) when not using DHCP configuration in the Ethernet settings.
Mounting
1. The AlphaVision IP alarm transceiver (art. code. 003609) is delivered as a plug-on
board and can be mounted on top of the AlphaVision NG main board using the
delivered mounting studs. Connect the supplied flat cable between the AlphaVision IP
transceiver and the AlphaVision NG mainboard. The AlphaVision is now connected to
the RS-485 bus of the control panel. The AlphaVision IP receives it power supply
through the RS-485 bus.
2. The AlphaVision IP + GPRS alarm transceiver (art. Code. 003614) is delivered in a
synthetic casing. It is advised to place the AlphaVision IP + GPRS alarm transceiver in
the enclosure of the AlphaVision NG or XL control panel. If the enclosure of the control
panel is a metal casing the casing must be equipped with a proper grounding. Connect
the AlphaVision IP + GPRS alarm transceiver to the RS-485 bus connection of the
Alphatronics control panel using the 4 blue terminals (+, A, B, 0).
3. Then connect a network cable between the AlphaVision IP (+ GPRS) and the router,
the transceiver can now be accessed via the internal network. Use the free Device
Discovery Tool (see www.alphatronics.nl) to detect Alphatronics IP devices on the
network.
4. It is also possible to connect directly to the PSTN-2-IP (GPRS) using a Cross-over
network cable (art. code. 003620) between the LAN port of the laptop and the PSTN-2-
IP (GPRS). Ensure that the laptop has a fixed IP address in the same range
(192.168.0.xx) as the PSTN-2-IP (GPRS). Set dipswitches 2 * and 3 ** to ON.
*dipswitch 2 to ON ensures that it is always possible be log-in to the web server with Username "admin" and no
Password needs to be entered. Also, the IP address of the AlphaVision IP (+ GPRS) is temporarily set to
192.168.0.48 (http port 80). Dipswitch 2 can remain OFF if the Username, Password and the IP address of the
PSTN 2 IP (GPRS) is known.
** dipswitch 3 to ON (default) ensures that the programming can be accessed / modified.
If dipswitch 3 is set to OFF then the webpage of the AlphaVision IP (+ GPRS) is completely blocked and it is
not possible to get into the programming.

Alphatronics Device Discovery
All Alphatronics IP devices (including the PSTN 2 IP (GPRS)) can always be easily found on
an internal network by using the 'Alphatronics Device Discovery tool. This tool is present in the
AlphaTool software but is also available as a single tool which can be freely downloaded from
the website www.alphatronics.nl (installer, service & support). Start the tool and then double-
click the desired device. The default browser on your laptop will open automatically and opens
the webserver of this device with the selected IP address.
Login
Once your browser has been opened, the login screen of the selected IP device is shown. For
the AlphaVision IP (+ GPRS) transceiver it is the following screen:
When dipswitch 2 is set to ON you can login using the user "admin". The Password field
should be left empty. The temporary IP address is now 192.168.0.48. When dipswitch 2 is set
to OFF, then the correct username and password must be entered.
If too often an incorrect user / password combination is entered then access to the web server
is temporarily blocked and optionally an alarm message is generated.
