To prepare your Advisor Master and Advisor Advanced intrusion panels for integration with Security Center, you must make sure that specific
settings are made on the panels.
What you should know
This task describes in a general way how the
Advisor Master and Advisor Advanced intrusion panels need to
be configured for them to communicate with the
UTC Advisor Master and Advanced
extension. For specific details about the configuration of your devices
and software, refer to the manufacturer's documentation.
Procedure
-
Using ATS8500, log on to the panel's configuration
page.
-
Make sure the panel is running the latest firmware and is operating as
expected.
-
Create zones on the panel.
-
If your organization's network security policies require that the IP devices,
routers, and switches in your network block unused ports, make sure to open the
TCP port used to communicate with the extension:
-
Take note of the following information, which you will need later.
- IP address of the panel.
- TCP port used by the panel to communicate with the extension.
- User name and password for an administrator-level user account.
- PIN used to log on to the panel.
- Remote access code used to log on to the panel from an external
software, like ATS8500 and Security Center.
CAUTION:
Change the default passwords that are used to access your
devices before adding them to Security Center. These passwords might be
known to others.
