So that a Honeywell Galaxy intrusion panel can communicate with Security Center, the panel must be configured for remote access over Ethernet. This configuration can be done locally by using the panel's keypad or remotely by using the Honeywell Galaxy Remote Servicing Suite (RSS).

Before you begin

Make sure your control panels are functioning properly and have an Ethernet module installed.

What you should know

You can use Galaxy RSS to program, service, and maintain your alarm system locally or remotely from a computer. If you don't have the Galaxy RSS, you can prepare the panel directly using its keypad.

For details not covered in this procedure, you can download the related user manual from http://www.honeywellvideosystems.com/.
