UPLOADING/DOWNLOADING VIA the INTERNET
UL: Up/downloading via the Internet has not been evaluated by UL.
This control, when used with a compatible Internet/Intranet Communication Device, supports upload/download programming
capability via the Internet using the AlarmNet network or, depending on the communication module used, a Private local area
network (Intranet). This allows site maintenance independent of central station monitoring, and modification to sites globally
via the Internet. Depending on the module used, Internet connection from the protected premises is either via high speed
(broadband) cable or phone service, or via the GSM/GPRS digital cellular network (GSM modules).
Refer to the instructions provided with the communication module for information regarding its installation, programming, and
registration. The System Requirements table below lists two sets of system requirements, depending upon whether you
intend to communicate over the Internet or whether you are communicating over a Private LAN (Intranet).
Compatible Communication Modules: The following modules support Internet uploading/downloading, but future modules
may also provide Internet upload/download support; refer to the module’s instructions for compatibility. Compatible Modules:
7845i-ent (supports LAN), GSMV4G, GSMX4G, IGSMV4G
