Before you can use your intrusion panel in Security Center, you must enroll the panel as an intrusion detection unit in Config Tool.

Before you begin

Prepare the DMP intrusion panel

What you should know

  • The DMP Intrusion Panel extension connects to the DMP Intrusion Panel using the command port. By default, the command port is 2001.
  • An enrolled panel uses a random event callback port, which is set on both the panel and during the intrusion panel configuration in Security Center.
  • The DMP panel must be able to receive a connection on port 2001, and to connect back to the Intrusion Manager server on the random event port.
    NOTE: If an event port connection from the DMP panel fails, you do not receive events or panel state changes in Security Center. There is also no warning or feedback in Security Center or on the panel.
  • Unless the Always stay connected option is enabled, the panel releases and reconnects over port 2001 as needed. If the port is not available when it is needed (to send a command, for example), commands might fail to go through. Using Always stay connected on port 2001 ensures that commands always go through but can prevent RemoteLink and other integrations from using the network command port.
  • If Always stay connected is not used, the panel disconnection and reconnection can generate excessive connection events.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to use the Integrator Path connection where possible, as the Standard connection configuration can easily be overwritten accidentally using service operations and other integrations.

Procedure

  1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the Intrusion detection task.
  2. Click Intrusion detection unit ().
  3. In the Manual Add dialog box, configure the following:
    Intrusion Manager
    This setting is only visible when there are multiple Intrusion Manager roles. Choose a role to host the intrusion detection unit.
    IP address
    The unique TCP/IP address of the intrusion panel.
    Port
    The TCP communication port number that is configured on the intrusion panel. On the panel, this is the Listen Port and the Network Programming Port.
    Event port
    A unique port number that Security Center uses to listen for incoming events from the intrusion panel. On the panel, this is the Net Port.
    Assign automatically
    Select this checkbox.
    When selected, the panel's Net Options on the PC Log Reports page are configured correctly. The Net IP address is set to the address of the Intrusion Manager server. The Net Port is set to a unique value.
    Account number
    The account number is a one- to five-digit number used to identify the intrusion panel. On the panel, this is the Account Number on the Area Information page. The default is 12345.
    Remote key
    The remote access code for the intrusion panel that was assigned using DMP Remote Link. Security Center can only communicate with the panel when the correct remote key is provided.
    Always stay connected
    (Integrator or Entré connection) Keeps the connection between the DMP intrusion panel and Security Center open permanently.
    Enroll disconnected unit
    Select this option to add a device that is not yet physically connected to the IP network or is connected but offline.
    The Manual add window with unit configuration settings.
  4. Click Add and close.
    The configuration is saved and the Manual add window closes.

Results

The intrusion detection unit is displayed under the Intrusion Manager role in the entity browser. When the unit connects to the panel, Intrusion Manager creates the intrusion detection areas, inputs, and outputs that are configured on the panel. You can see the:
  • Intrusion detection unit listed under the Intrusion Manager role in the Intrusion detection task.
  • Intrusion detection areas in the Area View task.
  • Inputs and outputs on the intrusion detection unit's Peripherals tab.
