Activating the PM45-3G v1
Antenna 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 an-
tenna on a metal surface. A significant reduction in performance occurs if an antenna does not
have an adequate ground plane.
If signal strength is low, a high gain aerial may be required. The Permaconn Part N# is ‘ANTH3G’
Extension cables for the high gain aerial are available
Length in Meters Part N#
3 EXT3
5 EXT5
10 EXT10
NB: Do not exceed 10 meters.
Before powering up the PM45-3G v1 the device MUST be Activated.
The unit can be activated by: Control Room Administrators and Bureau Administrators with
activation rights.
NB: Control Rooms can restrict Bureaus from activating their own devices.
By doing so the Bureau may perform the activation procedure but must be approved
by the Control Room.
Activating the PM45-3G v1
1. Login to Atlas.
2. Select the ‘Fleet’ tab.
3. Click the ‘Activate’ button.
4. Input Permaconn serial number.
5. Fill in and follow the prompts.
NB: If the unit is powered up before activation, simply follow the Reset procedure set
out on page 5 of this manual.

Current draw has been determined.
PM45-3G v1 has been activated.
Power up the PM45-3G v1.
The PM45-3G v1 can take up to three (3) minutes to come ‘online’. Times can vary.
Connection to the cellular network is indicated by the
‘MOBILE’ LED = [Green – Steady On]
The ‘HB’ LED indicates signal strength and if the microprocessor is operating.
Operational + Good Signal = [Green –Blinking]
Operational + Low Signal = [Red - Blinking]
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 indica-
tors whenever repositioned.
Alternatively ‘Ping’ the communicator using your Atlas ‘App’. Signal strength must be better
than -94dBm for reliable communications.
Connection to the Internet
If you are using the Ethernet port, connect a CAT5 cable between the customers internet
router or switch to the PM45-3G v1 LAN port. Re-power the device after connecting the
cable.
The PM45-3G v1 will automatically obtain an IP address if it is set to DHCP (default).
Installation Procedure PM45-3G v1
RDCCO_2149_E_IN
Power is normally obtained from the Alarm Panel. In case of AC loss the PM45-3G v1 will
continue to work using the alarm panels battery backup.

Using the alarm panels dialler. (Must be connected if using Panel Client).
Using the alarm panels dialler.
A four wire connection is required between the Alarm Panel dialler and the PM45.
Option 1: Plug the original alarm panel dialler lead into the 611 socket on the
PM45 to connect the alarm panel.
Option 2: Use a 4 core cable between PM45 and alarm panel dialler terminals.
(Refer to our Technical Addendums on our web site www.permaconn.com/Install Zone)
Installation Procedure PM45-3G v2 continued.....
‘R’ & ‘T’ : when an event occurs the panel seizes the line, Contact ID data is sent from the
alarm panel to R & T of the PM45-3G v1
‘R1’ & ‘T1’ are return lines back from the alarm panel. 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 intercon-
nectivity between the Alarm Panel dialler and the PM45-3G v1. 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 PM45-3G v1.
NB: This method is used for remote upload / download with Panel Client and Alarm
Panel software

Connection using the internet is indicated by the
‘IP’ LED = [Green –Steady On]
Using the Alarm Panels dialler
The alarm panel must be programmed with:
Contact ID (format)
Tone / DTMF dialling
Four digit Panel ID number
8 digit telephone number (e.g. 12345678)
Arm & Disarm reporting must be enabled. (This is required for the Pocket Secure App)
Force the alarm panel to send a Contact ID event to the monitoring station
The PM45-3G v1 obtains the Panel ID directly from the Alarm Panel after the first valid
contact ID event is sent.
If a fixed Account ID is required - Contact the Monitoring Centre before and have them fix it
in the PM45-3G v1.
Testing
Ping the PM45-3G v1 using Atlas
Initially the CID Led will be off
Force the alarm panel to send a Contact ID event to the monitoring station
The panel dialler will seize the dialler line and send data on pins 2 & 3.
The ‘CID’ LED = [Green - Blinking].
NB: When the panel seizes the dialler line the voltage between on pins 1 & 4
The voltage on pins 2 & 3 should drops from 48vDC to 6-12vDC
Atlas will display Dialler Interface FAIL (normal)
When a valid Contact ID event is sent from the alarm panel and the panel releases the line.
The ‘CID’ LED = [Green - Steady On].
NB: When the panel releases the dialler line it restores the 48vDC on pins 1 & 4 Atlas
will display Dialler Interface OK (normal)

IP Setup
RDCCO_2149_E_IN
To view or change the IP settings,
Before you start you need the following:
Access to Atlas portal.
Connect the PM45-3G v1 to the same LAN with standard Ethernet cable).
The PM45-3G v1 must be online and can be pinged with Atlas.
Important –If the PM45-3G v1 is an online existing unit a power cycle may be required to
enable the IP.
To change values, simply modify the fields and select [Update]. 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, if this is required un-tick the DHCP box
and enter the settings the select [Update].
All settings below are also available using the Atlas web portal, if the PM PM45 has a cellular net-
work connection.
If using the customers router ensure:
Port 55300
Port 59680
Port 59682
Port 55540
These ports are not blocked, are open in UDP.
PM45-3G v1 March 2019 v1.4

IP Setup continued.....
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 cor-
rect; otherwise the unit will not be able to connect.
This field can be either an IP address or a domain name.
Obtain IP address automatically DHCP
If ticked, DHCP is enabled and the unit will obtain the IP Address, IP Mask and the Gate Way auto-
matically. Otherwise you must enter these values yourself. Please note that these values must be
specific for the clients LAN the PM45 is communicating on.
Fixed IP address Static
Un-tick the DHCP box and modify the IP, Subnet mask, and Gateway setting then select update.
Use DNS below
If 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 us-
ing a domain name for the primary and/or secondary server addresses.
Local Port [55300] UDP
You can use any port above 10000, not critical.
Remote Port [55300] UDP
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 [59680] UDP
Transmission Delay Times
Messages originating from the Alarm Panel are forwarded immediately.
Alarm Panel ‘Dialler Interface Lead Fail’ is sent if not restored within 90 seconds.
Arm / Disarm reporting may occur at the end of exit delay (Pocket Secure).
