What is a T-Link Module?

The T-Link module is DSC's IP connectivity solution for alarm panels. The T-Link comes in many different configurations depending on which control panel you wish to us it on, and what you plan on using it for. Among other functions, the T-link is the fastest and most convenient way to connect to your control panels using DLS IV.

What do I need to connect using DLS IV?

The first thing you will need to connect to the T-Link module is the IP address. This is the address on your network which the T-Link module is occupying. For ease of use, it is recommended that you use a static IP address instead of a dynamic IP address (DHCP) for the T-Link module.

You will also have to have the correct port. Under normal circumstances the default port (3062) should not need to be changed, however there are special cases where this may need to be done.

The last thing you will need is the encryption key. If you are not using encryption than this should be left blank on both the T-Link module and in DLS. If you wish to you encryption, you must ensure that the encryption key is identical in both locations.
