Ethernet Module
ETHM-1
ethm1_e 05/07
The ETHM-1 Ethernet Module is a TCP/IP server. It enables the INTEGRA series control
panels (program version 1.03 or later) to be operated via the Ethernet network. Data
transmission in the network is coded by means of an advanced algorithm based on 192-bit
key. The control panels can be operated via the Ethernet network with the use of PC
computers or mobile phones.
When using the computer, the control panel can be operated from the DLOADX service
program, GUARDX administrator program, as well as an Internet browser supporting the JAVA
applications. The mobile phone uses a special JAVA application to operate the control panel.
Note: The module enables only one user to be connected at a time. The next users will
receive a message on busy status of the server.
The module with firmware version 1.02 or later provides an option for the INTEGRA series
control panels (program version 1.04 and next) to perform monitoring via the Ethernet
network.
This manual refers to the ETHM-1 module with firmware version 1.02. Replacement of the
module firmware is possible by means of the EthmFlash program, available on the website
www.satel.pl

1 – RS-232 port – enables the module to be connected to the control panel RS-232 port, so
that the panel can be controlled via the Ethernet by means of the DLOADX program.
Additionally, it makes possible to replace the module firmware. Connect the port to the

SATEL ETHM-12
computer by means of the same cable that was used for programming the INTEGRA
control panels from the computer, and then run the EthmFlash program.
2 – PWR/LOG LED – steady light indicates presence of the supply voltage; blinking LED
indicates that the user has logged in to the server.
3 – BUS ACT LED – blinking LED indicates the process of communication between the
panel and the module.
4 – ADR pins for setting module address (see MODULE ADDRESSING).
5 – RJ-45 socket – intended to connect Ethernet cable to the module. It is necessary to
use a cable identical to that used to connect a computer to the network. The socket has
two built-in LEDs. The green LED indicates connection to the network and transmission,
and the yellow one – transmission rate in the network (10Mb/100Mb).
Description of terminals:
+12V – supply voltage input;
COM – common (ground);
TMP – input of module tamper circuit (NC) – connects the housing tamper contact; if
not used, it should be shorted to ground;

If necessary, the module supply (+12V) may be provided from an additional power supply
unit installed in the system.
3. Connect the housing tamper contact to the TMP, COM terminals (or short the TMP
terminal to the COM ground).
4. Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 socket.
5. If the control panel is to be operated via the network by means of the DLOADX program,
connect the RS-232 ports of module and control panel with a cable made according to
Fig. 2.
Fig. 2. Connecting the RS-232 ports of control panel and ETHM-1 module.
4. Starting the module
Note: In the systems having modules with own power supply, it is recommended that you
start the panel first, and then, successively, the other system components.
1. Switch on power supply of the security system and the module (module power-up will be
confirmed by the PWR/LOG LED going on).
2. Identify the new module in the security system by starting the LCD KEYPADS ID.service
function in the keypad (ÁSERVICE MODE ÁSTRUCTURE ÁHARDWARE ÁIDENTIFICATION).
After successful identification, the "I" letter will be show on the keypad display under the
module address.

SATEL ETHM-14
Note: During the identification process, the control panel saves in module memory a special
(16-bit) number, intended to check the module presence in the system. Replacement
of the module with another one (even with the same address set on the jumpers)
without a new identification will trigger the alarm (module tamper).
3. Program correct module settings (see DESCRIPTION OF SETTINGS) by means of the security
system keypad in service mode, or using a computer with DLOADX program. If the module
and the control panel are connected through RS-232 ports, disconnect the cable
connecting the RS-232 ports of module and panel, and then connect the cable connecting
the computer and the panel to the control panel RS-232 port.
Note: To obtain the network configuration data you should contact the network administrator.
4. Having configured the module operating settings, save the changes in the FLASH memory
and terminate the DOWNLOADING function, if it has been started. If the cable connecting the
module/panel RS-232 ports has been disconnected for the time of programming, it should
be reconnected.
