GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The INT-TCP/IP-WEB is an interface that extends new advanced features and functionalities to Chameleon Panels (GEKKO
and OCTO+). Its enhanced hardware allows for an easier integration with existing LANs via Wi-Fi or optional Ethernet cable.
An SD Card socket permits the interface to hold and store valuable data or simple firmware upgrades when needed. This is
extremely handy on network debug and log needed situations.
Using our proprietary ODYSSEY protocol for Panel communication and a secure connection to a dedicated internet broker
(external server), it is possible to receive “Live” events and monitor the connected panels 24/7, controlling and viewing in real
time the panel status. The user-friendly dedicated webpage via internet browser provides a new and safe level of customer
experience. The new added features, such as SMS and e-mail alerts, will push the remote monitoring capabilities even
more.
Interface configuration network, remote internet broker address, and all local parameters are all configured by means of an
user friendly config web page that can be accessed directly by Wi-Fi AP mode (the interface must be in Access Point mode)

Configuration using Wi-Fi with module in AP MODE
ATTENTION:
- DURING THE CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE THE ETHERNET CABLE SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED.
- The interface comes by default as an Wi-Fi network access point mode. You must associate a computer
with this “AP mode” wifi network to gain access to the interface configuration page.
- Every 30 minutes the interface will automatically restart (Time out) if no configuration has been
programmed. A new connection will be needed.
- In case of malfunction we recommend the use of a micro SD card to easily access config.txt and debug.txt
files. This is not mandatory. Please check the Advanced Debug Mode chapter of this manual.
1) Connect the interface to panel’s BMS channel (ODYSSEY).
2) Both LEDs will flash once on restart. Wait until both LEDs are in the
fixed position, without flashing.
3) Using your own personal device (Ex.Computer, Tablet or mobile
phone) search in the Wi-Fi networks for the interfaces SSID MAC
address. This can be identified as “GFE-AP-XX:...:XX:XX”.
As an example in the image above there is one interface connected (MAC address), select the interface to your Wi-Fi
network, it’s an open Wi-Fi network without the need of a password.
INT-TCP/IP-WEB / CONFIGURATION MANUAL / © GFE 210622 5

4) Once a connection has been established with the interfaces “AP” MAC
address, open a Web Browser and enter the configuration page IP address
http://192.168.4.1
5) Push “Configure Interface” wait a few seconds and a new page will
load. You are now ready to begin programming.
6) All the Wi-Fi networks that the interface was able to detect on site will
appear, as well as the configuration parameters.
7) Select a Wi-Fi network to be used with the interface, if it's a protected
network, enter a network access password. The lock symbol means that
the network is protected, it is also possible to view the percentage of the
signal strength.
ATTENTION:
- Always select a Wi-Fi network that has a signal strength
greater than 20%.
- If you do not want to add any WIFI please assign "0" to the
SSID (WIFI OFF).
- Double Check if the panel is already configured as
ODYSSEY (menu 8-5-6) and have a BMS ADD = 01.
8) Optional: it is possible to configure or add a Wi-Fi network that is not
present in the search page. The interface can be programmed offline and
as soon as it is connected, the interface will detect the configured SSID to
the selected wifi network.
9) NETWORK: choose the connection type, value 0for RJ45 cable
connection, value 1for Wifi connection.
10) DHCP Set a value of 0 to activate or a value of 1 to off.
11) IP Address - if you choose a connection without DHCP and cable
(RJ45) configure a valid IP address.
12) Subnet Address. configure a subnet address in case of cable
connection and without DHCP enabled.
13) Gateway Address. configure a valid Gateway address in case of
connecting via RJ45 and without DHCP.
14) DNS_1- configure the primary DNS address for cable connection and
DHCP disconnected.
15) DNS_2- configure a secondary DNS address for RJ45 connection and
DHCP disconnected.

Email or SMS Alerts
Starting with firmware version 1.1.1, the interface can send alerts by SMS or by email, or in both modalities. For alerts to be
enabled, you must make the respective settings. The alerts you receive, is a short text message describing what originated
the alert, and identifies who sent by the client ID and channel configured in the interface. The alerts you can receive are as
follows:
● When the interface starts communications with the internet broker (external server).
● When the panel on fire, and also when I came out of the fire alarm.
● When the panel fails and then when I left the failed state.
● When the panel disabled and then when I left that state.
● When the panel a pre-alarm or when I'm out of that state.
● When the panel test mode or then when I left like this.
● When communication begins with the panel and the System LED is turned on.
ATTENTION: There are no guarantees of receiving alerts. If the connection to the mail or SMS server is not possible,
the alert will not be sent, but the interface continues with its normal operation. For SMS server detailed function
please check www.clickatell.com for further info.
