To complete programming the control unit please see either
“7510r Installation and Programming Guide” or “i-on40
Programming Guide” depending on the control unit.
Set Up the IP Address of the ARC
ARCs can use two types of receiver for alarm messages over
IP: an IRIS polling engine, or a specialised application
running on a PC. If the ARC employs an IRIS polling engine
then this works on a separate IP address to the PC used to
receive alarm reports and you must remember to store the
polling engine’s IP address.
When communicating with the alarm message receiver at the
ARC you can specify two IP addresses. The control unit sends
data to the second ARC IP address if a call to the first ARC IP
address fails (and you have selected Alternate in Reporting,
Alarms, Call Mode.)
In addition, you must store a string of characters that the
receivers use to identify every individual control unit. This
identifier is independent of the ARC account numbers.
To set up the IP address of the ARC:
On the 7510r select Reporting - Alarms - IP Network.
On the i-on40 select Communications - ARC Reporting - IP
Network.
The display shows the following options:
Unit name Select this option and key in a string of up to
32 characters. This string must be unique for
each control unit communicating to a receiver.
Polling Eng IP Address
Key in the IP address of the IRIS polling
engine.
ARC IP Address 1
Key in the ARC’s main IP address.
Note that this option also allows you to key in a
unique identifying name for the ARC.
ARC IP Address 2
Key in the ARC’s alternate IP address.
This option also allows you to key in a unique
identifying name for the ARC.
