PROTECT IPCard™3
This refers to PROTECT IPCardTM hardware version 1.1 and software version 1.02.
The IPCard in combination with PROTECT IntelliSuiteTM adds the following func-
tionality to the Fog CannonTM:
• General networking capability
 • Remoterealtimemonitoringoffaults,uidlevel,batterystateetc.
• Remote full report generation - including event log, settings, state of I/O
etc.
• Remote testing (test shot, relay test, acoustical annunciation)
• Remote reset
• Service Disable functionality (Blocking) by push-button or by remote control
 • Thelevelofwhatisallowedwhenconnectingovernetworkcanbespecied
during installation by setting individual network permissions
• Pump test/priming by push-button
• “Panic” release functionality
• ATM protection mode on PROTECT 600iTM, PROTECT 1100iTM and PROTECT 2200iTM
The IPCardTM also adds the general possibility of delivering customer specic
application solutions with networking capability on request.
1.1. Basic networking skills
Please note that introduction to basic networking skills are beyond the scope of
this manual! The installer is assumed to have acquired the necessary skills before
attempting to install the IPCardTM.
In general PROTECTTM will not support basic networking problems since networking
issues can be very complex and depends on local IT-planning, IT-politics and the
way things are done in individual installations.
As a rule of thumb always consult the local network administrator before even
considering the installation of networking capable devices. Such installation usual-
ly requires planning, permissions and setting up of local routers and switches in
the network and you may not be allowed access to do this yourself.

1.2. Networking security and safety
The communication protocol used between the IPCardTM and IntelliSuiteTM is de-
signed for use on secure networks only.
Access is controlled by use of a 10 digit password. No form of encryption is used
onthisspeciccommunicationprotocol.
If communication between the IPCardTM and the computer running IntelliSuiteTM
is supposed to be routed over insecure networks (e.g. the Internet), then some
form of external security measures should be taken. It is suggested to use e.g. VPN
protected communication between the PC and the secure network where the Fog
CannonTM equipped with the IPCardTM is installed. Commercial routers including
VPN capability is readily available on the marked.
A cheaper, but more labor intensive way to raise the security level, could be to
remotely manage the local router, to only open a communication channel when
needed.Afternishing the remote monitoring/control of a FogCannonTM, the
communication channel could then again be closed for security.
It should also be considered what specic actions should be permitted when
working on a remote connection.
Should it for instance be allowed to perform testing and priming of the Fog CannonTM
pump,ifthis couldpotentiallysetofrealarmsystems andbeanuisanceto
people working in the building.
Network permissions could be set during installation to only allow passive moni-
toring actions, which would increase the safety level of the installation.
ItisalsostronglyadvisedtosetupthelocationidenticationtextintheIPCardTM
during installation. In this way it will be possible, by using the real time monitor-
ing facility, to ensure that the fog cannon that you are actually connected to is
in fact the Fog CannonTM you expected to connect to.

2. Installation and use of IntelliSuiteTM
Before you can proceed with the installation of the IPCardTM you will need to
install the latest version of IntelliSuiteTM.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
IntelliSuiteTM versions before 2.40.3 will not support the IPCardTM.
Also you must acquire an IntelliConnectorTM
cable for connecting the PC running
IntelliSuiteTM with the service interface
of the Fog CannonTM.
The installation and general use of IntelliSuiteTM
is beyond the scope of this manual, and only
specicissuesrelevanttotheinstallationanduseoftheIPCardTM will be dealt with
in this manual.
3. Fog CannonTM setup and installation
The installation and setup of the Fog CannonTM itself is covered by its own manual.
Please follow the instruction enclosed with the Fog CannonTM.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
The IPCardTM will not operate with Fog CannonTM units software before version
2.70.
Different software features are available, depending on the software version
of the Fog CannonTM and the software version of the IPCardTM. See notes on this
for each individual program function listed in this document.
Software in your Fog CannonTM may be upgradable to accommodate the use of the
IPCardTM. Please consult your local PROTECTTM distributor for directions on this.
versions before 2.40.3 will not support the IPCard

4. Mechanical installation
Conictingplasticcollar
On some Fog CannonTM units a service connector on the main PCB may have to
bemodiedtogivespaceenoughtoinstalltheIPCardTM.
Ifthisisthecaseuseaworkknifetoremovetheconictingplasticcollar.
4.2. Make sure to install the IPCardTM securely using supplied washers,
spacers and screws
Correct alignmentBad alignment
The connector on the IPCardTM MUST align properly with the connector on
the main board, and mounting holes in the IPCardTM must align with spacers
before attempting to install the screws.

4.3. Cabling
When installing the network cable, please make sure to use the correct type of
RJ45 connector.
Some prefabricated cables come with a strain relief that extends behind the con-
nector.Thistypeofconnector(asshownontheleft)willnottinsidethecabinet
of the PROTECT 600iTMfogmachinesinceitwillconictwiththetopcoverofthe
Fog CannonTM. Please use RJ45 connectors as shown to the right.
Route the networking cable as shown in the picture to make sure cable will
notconictwithanyinternalpartoftheFogCannonTM. Let the network cable
exit the hole in the cabinet used for any other normal signal cable to and
from the alarm system.

Please note that dipswitch settings, on the IPCardTM, may be manipulated during
normal operation.

that particular setting.
Also, precautions should be taken to prevent unwanted fog release that may be
caused by dipswitch manipulation.

6. Setting up the IPCardTM
Before the IPCardTM can be used for monitoring and controlling the Fog CannonTM,
the IPCardTMmustbesetupforthespecicuse.
Start up the Fog CannonTM with the installed IPCardTM, connect it to your computer
using an IntelliConnectorTM cable.
Then start up the IntelliSuiteTM setup and monitoring program.
From the top menu
select [Connection],
[Device type], [IPCardTM].
Then next from the top menu
select [Connection], [Use USB],
[Auto detect]. You should
now get a message saying
“Fog CannonTM found…”.
