Connection Types
In order to connect to a panel, you must first decide which type of connection you wish to use. The following options are available.
PSTN
By selecting this option you will be using the MD-12 modem to dial into the panel. You will need to program the panels phone number, which can be done when you are creating your account, or by right-clicking on the account from the main screen and selecting properties.
IP (T-Link)
By selecting IP, you will be connecting to the account using a network connection through the TL-250 module. You need to provide the IP address of the T-Link you will be connecting to. This can be done when you are creating your account or by going into the account properties.
You will also need to make sure all the appropriate ports for the communication are open.
*If you are unsure how to open the ports, contact your network administrator
SMS (GS2060 or TL260GS)
TL Network (TL260)
Connecting to the Panel
First you must choose the desired communications operation (Global upload, Global Download, Communicate Tags, etc).
Once you have selected the type of communication operation, a screen will appear with 3 tabs prompting you with different options. Template:Screenshot
Under the "Basic" tab, you can verify the panel you are connecting to, the type of connection you will be making, the access code and the ID code. Depending on which communications operation you select you might also have an option to "auto-detect modules" and whether you would like to upload the event buffer.
Under the "Options" tab you can turn on/off the double call feature. You can also specify the double call timer and the double call duration.
