The Permaconn system provides two-way communication between supervised premises and
the Monitoring Centre. The Permaconn PM45 is a versatile state of the art microprocessor
based 3G and IP security communicator. This unit can interface with a range of alarm
panels using RS232 and Contact ID.
The Permaconn PM45 reports Contact ID events on the 3G and IP networks.
The Permaconn PM45 polls according to the registered fault recognition time.

Atlas is a secure web portal that enables users to activate and interrogate their
Permaconn 3G/IP communicators remotely for diagnostic and control purposes.
This portal can be accessed via the web using any Smartphone, Tablet or PC. We
strongly recommend using this application to verify your install. Apply online
www.permaconn.com
Before applying power, the communicator must be activated using the Atlas ‘App’
on your Smartphone, PC or Tablet. This communicator will not operate unless it has
been correctly activated.
Place the communicator in the space where you intend to install it. Do not mount the
communicator, yet as it may need to be moved to obtain a better signal strength.
Screw the antenna onto the SMA connector.
Apply 10 - 14.5DC to the power terminals. Power is normally obtained from the
Alarm Panel. If you are using an independent power supply make sure that you have
a common negative.
The ‘HB’ LED indicates signal strength and if the microprocessor is operating.
Operational + Good Signal = [Green –Blinking]
Operational + Low Signal = [Red Blinking]

The communicator can take up to 3 minutes to register onto the cellular network.
Connection to the cellular network is indicated by the
‘MOBILE’ LED = [Green –Steady On]
If the signal strength is low you need to reposition the unit or make use of a high gain
antenna. The communicator needs to be power cycled to refresh the signal strength
indicators whenever repositioned.
Alternatively ‘Ping’ the communicator using your Atlas ‘App’. Signal strength must
be better than -88dBm for reliable communications.
If you are using the Ethernet port, connect a CAT5 cable between the PM45 and the
local router or network point.
The PM45 will automatically obtain an IP address if it is set to DHCP (default).
Connection to the internet is indicated by the ‘IP’ LED. [Green –Steady On]
A four wire connection is required between the Alarm Panel dialler and the PM45.
‘Ring’& ‘Tip’as the input and ‘R1’& ‘T1’as the return line. If the return line is not
connected the ‘CID’LED will be [Red - On] indicating a fault. This lead is also used
to monitor the interconnectivity between the Alarm Panel dialler and the PM45. If
the dialler lead is removed a ‘Dialler Lead Interface Fail’ event will be sent to the
Monitoring Centre. This will indicate that the panel has lost connectivity with the
PM45.
The PM45 obtains the Panel ID directly from the Alarm Panel - during the first alarm
event. If you need to program the Panel ID within the communicator, inform the
Monitoring Centre on activation.
The alarm panel must be programmed with:
oContact ID
oTone dialling
oFour digit Panel ID number
o8 digit telephone number
When an event is sent from the alarm panel the ‘CID’LED will be
[Green-Steady on].
Ping the communicator using Atlas to verify status of installation.

Antennas can have their performance maximised using a ‘Ground Plane’, any metal
mounting surface will suffice. Please use the supplied ‘Ground Plane’ plate if you are
not mounting this antenna on a metal surface. A significant reduction in performance
occurs if an antenna does not have an adequate ground plane.
Apply DC power and depress reset button for:
o5 seconds to reset 3G settings.
o10 seconds to reset IP configuration.
LEDS will all flash together for four (4) seconds to confirm successful default.

There are three (3) outputs available.
Outputs are ‘Open Collector’ @50mA switching negative - for heavier loads a relay
must be used.
Ensure there is a common negative between PM45 and the device being switched.
The outputs can be Opened, Closed or Pulsed remotely using the Permaconn Atlas
web portal.
Compatible with ‘Pocket Secure’ remote arming App, available on iTunes
and Google Play.
Key switch wiring guide:
There are three (3) inputs available.
Inputs are programmed as 24 hour instant zones.
Inputs must be terminated with a 3K3 resistor.

* Normal Operation
Before you start you need the following:
Laptop
Network cable
IP configuration program - ‘IP Setup.exe’ (available from www.permaconn.com)
To connect to the PM45:
Connect the PM45 to the PC (or in the same LAN with standard Ethernet cable).
Run the program ‘IpSetup.exe’.
Enter the serial number of the communicator and press [CONNECT].
Default the communicator and wait until the screen is populated with the current
values. Important - the PM45 will only attempt to connect to ‘IpSetup.exe’ after a
default.
To change values, simply modify the fields and select [WRITE]. When the PM45 is
switched on it initialises with the default settings, so a large percentage of installations
should work right away. You only need to modify the setup for Static IP networks.

All settings below are also available using the Atlas web portal, if the PM45 has a cellular
network connection.
Obtain IP address automatically
If ticked, DHCP is enabled and the unit will obtain the IP Address, IP Mask and the Gate
Way automatically. Otherwise you must enter these values yourself. Please note that these
values must be specific for the clients LAN the PM45 is communicating on.
Use DNS below
If this is ticked, you must enter valid IP addresses that point to the available domain name
servers. If not ticked, it is filled in by the DHCP service of the LAN. Note that a DNS is
only required if you are using a domain name for the primary and/or secondary server
addresses.
Local Port [55300]
You can use any port above 10000, not critical.
Remote Port [55300]
This must match the ‘listen’ port of the Permaconn server, the default should be correct for
your country.
This port is vital - if incorrect the unit will not be able to connect.
Download Port [59650]
This is set by default and you must not change this port, it is not vital for communicating
with the server during normal operations.

MAC Address
This is set by default and is unique for each unit. It should only be changed if the instructed
by the IT department responsible for that network.
Primary and Secondary Server Connection
This is also set by default and is correct for your location. This is also a vital setting and
must be correct; otherwise the unit will not be able to connect.
This field can be either an IP address or a domain name.
Messages originating from the Alarm Panel are forwarded immediately.
Alarm Panel ‘Dialler Interface Lead Fail’ is sent if not restored within 90 seconds.
