System configuration: TCP / IP AP-IP module.
If the AP-IP module is installed in the system and is connected to the Ethernet or Wifi network, it is
possible to program the panel using TCP / IP.
Programming requires:
- access to the network with the AP-IP system and the open port 8882,
- the ability to enter the service mode in the control panel,
- the control panel can not be in armed mode (armed mode),
- knowledge: ID of the control panel, TCP / IP key, communication password with the PC (or file with
the control panel configuration),
- TCP / IP remote programming option selected
The LAN / WiFi network parameters can be read out from the touch panel - user settings -> Internet
module (TPR-1x, TPR-2x, TPR-4):

Programming TCP / IP using AP-IP:
- start OptimaGSM Manager, enter the ID of the control panel, TCP / IP key, PC communication
password (or open the file with the system configuration),
- select from the connection mode: TCP / IP AP-IP module,
- press the 'antenna' remote connection button (the fourth icon from the left),
- start the control panel service mode during connection attempts (20), if the system does not have a
programmed touch panel, the service mode can be started by putting a jumper on connector X3 (third
vertical pair from the PCB edge), after programming the jumper must be removed!
- the OptimaGSM Manager program broadcasts an incoming TCP / IP connection with the control
panel ID and usually the connection is established automatically, if the control panel does not respond
automatically, the window for entering the control panel IP will be displayed.
(read IP address for ETH network is possible through: touch panel - user menu, SMS command,
on the OptimaGSM bottom bar during the TCP / IP connection set-up, the default IP for WLAN:
192.168.10.1).
Comments:
By default AP-IP has the following settings (in the original configuration of OptimaGSM 1.9 and
higher):
- AP-IP module programmed in the control panel configuration,
- configuration of the Wifi option from the OptimaGSM Manager level,
- operating modes: Wifi- AccesPoint with DHCP server (default IP address: https://192.168.10.1)
SSID: apip
WPA2: ropam_optimagsm
- ETH mode of operation: DHCP client,
- TCP / IP key = ID of the control panel (see sticker)
- communication password with PC: 111111
The above settings allow programming through the TCP / IP of the factory OptimaGSM control
panel!
