INTRODUCTION1.
EPX PRO (EPX400-A20CU) is a communicator in the dedicated casing. The device is
complete communication platform for data transfer from control panels to Monitoring
Station remotely. The communicator can be directly connected to any alarm control
panel which has a PSTN line with DTMF decoding. Thanks to PSTN line all data from
control panel can be transmitted in real time to Monitoring Station through Ethernet
or cellular network LTE/HSPA+.
The communicator of the EPX PRO (EPX400-A20CU) version is offered in the
dedicated casing. The casing is equipped with device status indicators and it has
openings for cable routing to the outside. It could be installed in 2 different ways -
using neodymium magnets for quick installation of the casing on metal surfaces or
using screws and pins.
An advanced encoding methods like a 256 bits encoding key and AES (Advanced
Encryption Standard) provides for security of data transmission. As a result reception
of this transmission is possible with OSM.Server monitoring receiver system.
Programming of receiver is possible:
oLocally: - with computer and EBS Config 2.0 pogram,
- with computer and web browser via Ethernet connection.
oRemotely : - via UMTS/LTE connection,
- via SMS commands.
Additionally, the communicators EPX PRO (EPX400-A20CU) enabling remote
configuration of control panels using ModemEmu application and remote managing of
arming using EBS Security application.
Remote configuration of the control panel by Ethernet or cellular using EPX PRO is
still performed using control’s panel configuration application supplied by control
panel manufacturer. Instead of connecting PSTN modem to it, ModemEMU
application supplied by EBS is used which translates modem communication format
to LTE/HSPA+ transmission with EPX PRO (EPX400-A20CU) communicator. It is
possible to make remote downloading session with any control panel equipped with
Bell103/V.21 modem (to be sure write to our Technical Support Department to
obtain information on which control panels have been tested).

QUICK START PROCEDURE4.
NOTE: Do not insert SIM card before the first programming of
communicator as it may block the card if PIN code is required for the card.
This chapter is purposed for users that possess experience regarding
LTE/HSPA+ data transmission systems and who work with OSM.Server
server. Other users shall skip this chapter and go to chapter 5. of this
Manual.
As many users possess protected facilities spread at vast locations, local
programming of communicator is not always available.
Two phases comprise programming in this option:
a) sending to communicator of main parameters (with SMS) that enable
LTE/HSPA+ connection to communication server (OSM.Server system).
b) full configuration of device with remote programming (EBS Config 2.0 and
OSM.Server).
Quick start procedure:
a) insert into device SIM card with PIN code 1111 or without PIN code.
b) connect power supply for module,
c) send to SIM card number with SMS parameters related to connection of device
to communication server (OSM.Server)
d) waiting for moment, when device indicates connection to server
Note: Connection to server is possible if the device was registered into it.
Registration procedure has been described in OSM.Server Operation Manual.
e) complete, remote programming with EBS Config 2.0.
SMS text message shall provide the following information:
<communicator’s service code>█SERVER=<server address>█PORT=<server port>█
APN=<access point name>█UN=<user ID number>█PW=<user password>
Where:
█: space (every parameter shall be separated with space –blank character)
<communicator’s service code>: factory settings –1111.
<server address>: address of communication server purposed for collection of
communicator signals e.g. 89.123.115.8. In case address is provided as domain e.g.
block.autostrada.com, SMS message shall include DNS1 parameter (address of main
DNS server)
<server port>: Number of port in server that receives messages from a device
<access point name>: defines access point name to GSM network.
If private network is used, SMS message shall provide the following parameters:
UN=<user ID number> and PW=<user password>.
Exemplary SMS to set the parameters of the LTE/UMTS connection is as
follows (if we use public network and provide server address as IP):
1111█SERVER=89.123.115.8█PORT=6780█APN=internet█UN=1█PW=6578
Where:

OPERATION5.
EPX400-A20CU device is able to transmit data via LTE or UMTS network, via SMS
messages and via Ethernet.
Communication mode is configurable –see chapter 0. for more information. As a
result the communicator may be used only at the territory covered with mobile
phone operator network or with wired Ethernet network.
If status of inputs is the same as programmed one (NO/NC, EOL-NO/NC, DEOL-
NO/NC) the device stays at rest. Change of status on any input results in signal
transmitting of this event by the device.
In case of voice channel communication mode there is the possibility to choose 2
signalling formats: ContactID or SIA.
Note:
Each input (IN1 –IN9) may be individually defined as normally open (NO) or
normally closed (NC). It means that when input was defined as NO, input shorting
will be an active state, and when input was defined as NC, input opening will be an
active state. EOL and DEOL (parametrized and double parametrized) are options
where you use 1 or 2 resistors to distinguish alarm from sabotage.
To avoid an excessive cost of use related in particular to false alarms a device
possesses a programmable analysis of inputs.
All inputs respond only to states change which means that transmitting will follow
only if an active state is on input and maintains during programmed minimum time.
Maintenance of active state longer than a minimum time will result in single
indicating. Another input activation (another transmitting) is possible only after input
reached based state.
Number of messages sent in SMS mode is limited (limit includes also text massages
or answers to orders sent by user). This function provides for cost reduction by
limiting messages e.g. in case of damage of sensor connected to any input. After
passage of programmed time new messages will be sent but only in a number
determined by the user.
Text message on events sent to private phone numbers may be edited.
All programmable parameters are saved in memory and in case of voltage drop that
are not lost. Supply of power starts the communicator with saved settings.

EPX400-A20CU –Manual
Page 14 / 62
PRE-CONFIGURATION VIA ETHERNET PORT6.
To enable the EPX400-A20CU to communicate properly, you need to provide basic
server connection parameters. The simplest way to do this is via the built-in web
server WWW.
To access the server, connect the EPX400-A20CU using an Ethernet cable to a PC
that has an RJ-45 Ethernet port and a web browser.
The device is equipped with Auto MDI-MDIX function –supports straight-through and
crossover cable. Connection does not require network switch.
The default settings of the device is IP=192.168.7.7 , mask = 255.255.255.0 and the
following description applies to such settings.
6.1. LOGGING IN
You must configure the Ethernet interface to which the device is connected, you need
to manually set the appropriate IP address for example. 192.168.7.42 (Control Panel
\ Network and Internet \ Network and Sharing Center -> Connections-> Properties->
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP / IPv4) -> Properties - for Windows 10) and the
mask of 255.255.255.0. In the Web browser, enter the device address
http://192.168.7.7
There will appear the home page described below. Service code is the password.
NOTE: The address of the EPX400-A20CU network and the computer to which the
device is connected should be the same, and the IP addresses should be different.

6.2. DESCRIPTION
“Description” item.
Displays information about the type of device and its serial number.
6.3. CONFIGURE GSM
Server parameters6.3.1.
In this section we define the server parameters in the monitoring station.

EPX400-A20CU –Manual
Page 16 / 62
Server address6.3.1.1.
This is the IP address of the monitoring system receiver (OSM.Server), e.g.
“89.123.115.8”. The address can be specified as a domain name of the server, e.g.
“module.gprs.com”.
For domain name addresses, a DNS sever address is also required.
Server port6.3.1.2.
Specifies the server port assigned to receive data from the communicator.
APN parameters6.3.2.
In this section we define the APN parameters needed for LTE/HSPA+ connection.
APN6.3.2.1.
In “APN” field you can enter the APN name. This parameter depends on the
LTE/UMTS network provider whose services you are going to use. It specifies the
name of the access point to the LTE/HSPA+ network. It is possible to use a private
access point. In this case, the name of the access point will be provided by your GSM
network provider.
This is usually not required with public APNs.
User ID6.3.2.2.
In this field you can enter the user name required to connect to the LTE/HSPA+
network. This is usually not required with public APNs. If you have a private APN, you
should ask your provider for this parameter.
Note: Using a private APN increases the security of the system.
User password6.3.2.3.
In this field you can enter the user password required to connect to the LTE/HSPA+
network. This is usually not required with public APNs. If you have a private APN, you
should ask your provider for this parameter.
Note: Using a private APN increases the security of the system.
Primary / Secondary DNS6.3.2.4.
Identifies the address of the primary / secondary DNS server (Domain Name
System). If you provided the server's address as a domain, at least one DNS address
must be specified.
Access6.3.3.
In this section we define the parameters of access to the device.
Service code6.3.3.1.
Protects the device against unauthorized access. It is used during the device
programming process and for remote control of the device (in TCP/IP or SMS mode).
The code is factory set to 1111. You should change this code at the first
programming the device. It may contain up to seven alphanumeric characters.
SIM card PIN6.3.3.2.
As the device works in a LTE/UMTS network, you need a SIM card from a mobile
telephone network provider. Before first use, you need to enter the PIN code of the
SIM card that will be used with the particular communicator. This is required for

EPX400-A20CU –Manual
Page 17 / 62
automatic system start-up. If you have a SIM card without PIN code protection, you
can enter any value, e.g. 0000.
