Firewall Friendly Connection Type

Firewall Friendly is a new connection type that works with PowerSeries Pro control panels. This connection type was designed to allow you to easily connect over IP to panels in the field, without the need to forward ports or make other changes to the firewall setup at the site where the panel is installed. This is especially beneficial for panels installed at sites that do not have a static IP from their Internet Service Provider, since our Firewall Friendly server will act as a DNS lookup server for the site.


Firewall Friendly Setup Instructions

The Firewall Friendly programming can be done for any of the four Integration Sessions of the communicator. For Session 1, follow the section numbers below. For Session 2-4, please consult the PowerSeries Pro Installation Manual for the appropriate section numbers.

Panel Programming:

Enter Section [851] and then enter sub-sections below: 1. [424] [11111111*] 2. [425] [enable toggle options 3 and 5] 3. [426] [enable toggle options 3 and 5] 4. [427] [00010] 5. [428] [18.195.144.225] 6. [429] [01303] 7. [430] [03073] 8. [432] [03070] 9. [433] [03071]

SMS (GS2060/GS2065 or TL260GS/TL265GS)

An SMS message is sent to the wireless GSM module to trigger a return connection to the waiting DLS 5 . To use this connection, the SIM number is used as the unique Identifier. Ensure the full SIM number is entered.

One key advantage of using the SMS connection type is that there is NO PORT FORWARD required on the installation. Instead, there is a single port forward required on the DLS 5 PC's network allow the incoming c There is a of time required to connect via SMS connection type. This is due to the delays introduced at each juncture of the connection process. Please be patient, connection times of 2-5 mins are normal.
