The W485 module sends messages to the CMS (Central Monitoring
Station) and to Protegus using a WiFi internet router. When WiFi
connectivity is available, the G16T sends event messages via the
W485 module. When WiFi connectivity is disrupted, the G16T sends
messages via GPRS. When WiFi connectivity is re-established, the
G16T returns to sending messages via W485.
Configuration of the W485 WiFi module to work with the G16T is
described in chapter 6.7. „„RS485 modules” window”.
Insert SIM card into the communicator G16T for W485 to work.
The E485 module sends messages to the CMS (Central Monitoring
Station) and to Protegus using a wired internet connection. Using
the E485 with G16T, CMS and Protegus messages are sent over
wired Internet and mobile Internet is not used. If a wired internet
connectivity is disrupted, the G16T sends messages via the mobile
Internet. When the wired Internet connectivity is re-established,
G16T starts sending messages via E485.
Configuration of the E485 WiFi module to work with the G16T is
described in chapter 6.7. „„RS485 modules” window”.
Insert SIM card into the communicator G16T for E485 to work.
To start the communicator, turn on the security control panel’s power supply. This LED indication on the G16T communicator
must show:
-“POWER” LED illuminates green when the power is on;
-“NETWORK” LED illuminates green and blinks yellow when the communicator is registered to the network.
Note:
Sufficient strength of 4G signal is level three (three “NETWORK” indicator flashes in yellow color).
If you count less yellow “NETWORK” LED flashes, the network signal strength is insufficient. We recommend to
select a different place to install the communicator, or to use a more sensitive cellular antenna.
If you see a different LED indication, it indicates a certain malfunction. Diagnose it following the LED indication
table in chapter 1.5 “LED indication of operation”.
If the G16T indication does not illuminate at all, check the power supply and connections.

The communicator sends events to the monitoring station via cellular internet (IP).
Events can be sent through several communication channels. The primary and parallel communication channels can operate
simultaneously, this way the communicator can send events to two receivers at the same time. Backup channels can be assigned
for both primary and parallel channels, which willbe used when the connection via theprimary or parallel channel is interrupted.
Communication is encoded and password protected. A TRIKDIS receiver is required for receiving and sending event information
to the monitoring software:

Cellular communicator G16T_LTE-M
•For connection over IP –software receiver IPcom Windows/Linux, hardware IP/SMS receiver RL14 or multichannel
receiver RM14.
“Primary channel” settings group
•Communication type –select which connection method to monitoring station receiver will be used (IP).
•Protocol –select in which coding the events should be sent: TRK8 (to TRIKDIS receivers), SIA DC-09 (to receivers, which
receive events encoded in SIA DC-09 format).
•Encryption key –16-digit message encryption key. The key written to the communicator must match the receiver’s key.
•Domain or IP –enter the domain or IP address of the receiver.
•Port –enter the network port number of the receiver.
•TCP or UDP –select in which protocol (TCP or UDP) the events should be sent.
“Primary channel Backup” settings group
Enable the backup channel mode to send events via backup channel if connection via primary channel is lost. Backup channel
settings are same as described above.
“Parallel channel” settings group
Through this channel events are transmitted in parallel with the primary channel. When the second channel is enabled, events
can be sent simultaneously to two receivers (e.g., local and centralized monitoring stations). Parallel channel settings are the
same as described above.

“Settings” settings group
•Test period - TEST event period for testing the connection. Test events are sent as Contact ID messages and forwarded
to the monitoring software.
•IP ping period –period for sending internal PING heartbeats. These messages are only sent via IP channel. The receiver
will not forward PING messages to the monitoring software to avoid overloading it. Notifications will only be sent to the
monitoring software if the receiver fails to receive PING messages from the device within the set time.
By default, the receiver will send a “Connection lost” notification to the monitoring software if the PING message is not
received over a time period three times longer than set in the communicator. E.g. if the PING period is set for 3 minutes,
the receiver will send the “Connection lost” notification if PING message is not received within 9 minutes.
PING heartbeats keep the active communication session between the device and the receiver. An active session is
required to be able to remotely configure and control the communicator. We recommend setting the PING period for no
more than 5 minutes.
•Backup reporting after - indicates the number of unsuccessful attempts to send the message via Primary channel. If
device fails to transmit specified number of times, it will connect to transmit the messages via Backup channel.
•Return from backup after - time after which G16T will attempt to reconnect and transmit messages via Primary channel.
