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 https://buildings.honeywell.com/us/en/products/by-brand/honeywell-security/galaxy.

    • Primary port number to the TCP port used to communicate with the extension. The default is 10002.
      NOTE: This value must be changed if there are multiple Honeywell intrusion panels on the same Intrusion Manager.
    • (Optional) Secondary port number to the same value as the primary port number.
  9. Take note of the Primary Port Number and the Account Number, which you will need later.
