6.2 Central station transmission paths
The module can perform central station reporting. Central station reporting can be configured with one path, or dual paths with a Primary
and Secondary path. The Primary and Secondary paths can be configured to use any of the external connections, telephone line, cellular,
or LAN Ethernet connections. Both IP (cellular and Ethernet) and telephone line connection types can communicate with the Digital Alarm
Communications Receiver (DACR) at the central station. See Table 3 for possible UL combinations.
Packet switched data network interface equipment that is not required for the processing of the signals shall be evaluated to the
applicable requirements of the Standard for Information Technology Equipment – Safety – Part 1: General Requirements, UL 60950-1,
either as burglar alarm equipment or communication equipment. You can configure both communication paths as telephone line.
The IPC/CSG receives system status messages from the host FACU, and communicates the information over the public telephone network
to a DACR at the central station.
The telephone lines do not need to be dedicated to the fire alarm. You can connect the lines to other telecom equipment, but you must
wire the module electrically first in the chain. The Ethernet connections are standard Ethernet that have access to the Internet.
Wire the telephone line connection such that the FACU takes precedence, see Field wiring.
Use the 2050-9101 / 2250-9101 Panel User Interface or Addressable Panel Programmer Tool to configure the module. Refer to the 2050
and 2250 Foundation Series Fire Alarm Control Units Operation Guide (579-1405) , and 2050 and 2250 Foundation Series Fire Alarm Control Units
Programming Manual (579-1421) for information about programming. Central station communications are monitored for integrity.

Note: Installations do not require all of the following connection options: cellular, Ethernet, and telephone line. Typically, an installation
comprises of two of the connection types listed.
There are two possible installation scenarios. These are as follows:
• FACU with internally installed IPC/CSG
• FACU with externally installed IPC/ CSG in external box
NOTICE: Power off the FACU before mounting or connecting the IPC/CSG.
The process for installing the IPC/CSG internally, or close-nippled, in the FACU is as follows:
1. Mount the IPC/CSG as required.
2. Optional: Mount the cellular module and antenna if required, in external box only
3. Optional: Connect the IPC/CSG to the LAN, or telephone lines if required.
4. Connect the IPC/CSG to the serial port, CPU, and power.
5. Power on the FACU.
To mount the IPC/CSG module or close-nippled, to the FACU, refer to IP Gateway External Box Installation Guide (579-1249).
7.3 Installing the telephone lines
If the installation requires telephone line connection to the central station, ask the telephone company to install the required number of
telephone lines before installing the IPC/CSG. The lines must be terminated with an RJ-31X jack immediately above, or as close as possible
to the FACU. Be prepared to supply the telephone company with the FCC information printed on the FCC or Industry Canada label located
on the IPC/CSG.
CAUTION: Do not direct-connect the IPC/CSG to a coin telephone or party line. Be sure that the telephone lines that you are connecting
the IPC/CSG to are standard analog lines and not digital (PBX), party, or coin telephone lines. The line must not have any Telephone
Company (TELCO) features such as Call Waiting.

9 Field wiring
This section describes how to connect to building LAN and telephone lines in order to connect to the central station or the Enterprise
server. Connecting to a service PC to configure the IPC/CSG is also described in this section. For cellular connections, refer to IP Gateway
Cellular Module Installation Guide (579-1248).
9.1 Connecting to the LAN
The LAN Ethernet port on the IPC/CSG are auto-crossover and compatible with 802.3u, 100Base-TX type standard RJ45 type connections.
You do not require crossover cables. Cable requirements are as follows:
• Use Category 5 (CAT5) cable or greater for 100Mbit operation. Using lower grade cables such as Category 3, can result in slower link
speeds, or shorter distances which may affect the performance of your connection.
• The maximum distance from the IPC to the next Ethernet termination, such as the router or switch, is 328 feet (100 meters) with CAT5
cable.
• Cables must conform to the TIA/EIA-568-B standard.
The IPC/CSG can connect to the central station or Enterprise server, through an Ethernet connection to the building LAN. To connect to the
LAN, do the following:
1. Insert an Ethernet cable into port 3 of the IPC/CSG.
2. Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into an Ethernet port connected to the building LAN.
NOTICE: Do not connect the LAN to port 1 or port 2. Connecting to port 1 or port 2 is a security risk. It will also cause disruption to the
building LAN.
LAN configuration is DHCP by default. If you require static IP configuration, refer to the 2050 and 2250 Foundation Series Fire Alarm Control
Units Programming Manual (579-1421) and 2050 and 2250 Foundation Series Fire Alarm Control Unit Operation Guide (579-1405).
9.2 Connecting to the telephone lines
For installations where the IPC/CSG shares the telephone line with telephones on the premises or other equipment, make the connection
to the RJ-31X jacks through the modular jack. Use 2080-9047 harnesses for this connection. The harnesses are not included.
Note: The telephone company must install the telephone lines before installation. See Installing the telephone lines for more information.
To connect to the central station using a telephone line (IP Communicator only), complete the following steps:
1. Connect the 2080-9047 harness to the screw terminals on the IPC/CSG.
2. Use cable tie-wraps to provide strain relief for the two telephone line harnesses. Secure the cables to any standoff, or metal fixture
along the cable run between the IPC/CSG and the FACU exit.
Note: The two telephone line harnesses take separate paths from the host FACU to the RJ-31X blocks.
3. Connect one harness to each RJ-31X jack.
Note: TELCO wiring is supervised.
