INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
1. Install EA800-ip Device
Do not connect or disconnect sensors or wiring to a security panel while
power is applied to the device. Connecting and disconnecting the Device
with power connected may damage the Device or result in improper or
unreliable operation.
-Connection of unsuitable loads to the AUX Power Out connection may
damage the power supply and Device, or result in improper or unreliable
operation.
Web Based Monitoring: To manage or monitor the Device through the
cloud-based software application, it must be connected to a wired
Ethernet connection with Internet access. The Device works in the same
way as a PC with the Device being a client. The Device is hosted on our
customized Web Services Platform. The Device will only connect to this
server. It is not possible to connect to an internal server.
- Location: Device should be installed in a clean, non-condensing
environment.
- Using the terminal block adapter supplied, connect power supply + and
- leads to POWER IN (+ and (- on J5. Observe proper polarity.
- EA800-ip Input Voltage: 11 to 26VDC at ≤ 500mA Note: The input
voltage specification does not include requirements for loads connected
to the Aux Power Out.
- When Device is powered, a 30-minute timer starts. The Device will
alarm after this timer expires unless one or more sensors are set-up.
- If Aux Power Out is to be used, connect + and - leads to AUX POWER
OUT (+ and (- on J5 using a terminal block adapter.
2. Test Network Connection
Connect the Device Ethernet cable to a laptop computer that is set for
a wired Internet connection. Browse to a reliable website to
validate I nternet connectivity .
3. Connect Wired Et ernet to Device
The Device requires a wired 10/100BASE-TX/FX Ethernet connection to
communicate with the cloud application and is conforms to IEEE 802.3u
standards.
4. Verify Network Connectivity
Device Network Settings: Unless a static IP address is needed, you will
not need to modify the Device’s network settings.
On power-up the Device first automatically attempts to obtain an IP
address using DHCP. It will then attempt to contact a DNS server to get
the host IP address. Then it will contact out Host Server.
To verify Internet connection, troubleshoot connection, or to manually
assign the Device’s IP settings, navigate to the Network menu. The
Device must first be unlocked to access this menu. (Press F1 and enter
password.
5. Verify t e Internet Connection
When successfully connected to the Host Server, the “DIAGNOSTICS”
screen should look similar to this:
A “IP-^:” (Host Server address must
be present for the Device to communi-
cate with the Host Server (the actual
address may be different than the
illustration .
Information for Network Administrators
The device needs to be able to make a DNS query. It also needs to make an
outbound TCP/HTTP or HTTPS connection to the host using a URL
programmed into the firmware, on port 443.
DNS: If DHCP is enabled, the device makes a DNS query to the DNS server
based on assigned network settings. If DHCP is disabled (i.e. static IP is
enabled it will use the DNS server at the specified IP address. DNS uses UDP
and connects to the DNS server on port 53. There are situations where the
DNS may get reissued using TCP on port 53.
Once installed and configured the EA800-ip communicates to the Host System
on a 30-second interval. It does not accept any inbound connections.
Attention: Experience has shown that some firewall rules may consider this
frequent traffic as abnormal and cause the connection to be shut down. To
avoid connection trouble, check with your network administrator.
