Honeywell IPGSM-4GC User Manual

 

– 2 – 

The communicator requires a subscriber account (customer account) to be setup with AlarmNet Direct.  This is 
accomplished by registering the communicator with AlarmNet.  Registering, enables the fire panel to send reports. 

To setup the customer account you will need to contact the central monitoring station to get account information, and 
have access to the AlarmNet Direct website.  To access the AlarmNet Direct website visit – 
https://services.alarmnet.com/AlarmNetDirect 

If you do not wish to use the AlarmNet Direct website, you may call AlarmNet to setup the account, just phone 800-
222-6525, then select option 1.  (Monday–Friday 8:00 am to 9:00 pm, Saturday 9:00 am to 5:30 pm EST) 

Have the following information ready: 

 

Primary City ID (two digits), obtained from your 
monitoring station. 

 

Primary Subscriber ID (four digits), obtained from 
your monitoring station. 

 

Primary Central Station ID (two digits), obtained from 

your monitoring station. 

 

Communicator's MAC ID, and MAC CRC number 
located on outside of box, and inside the 
communicator. 

 

Note: The SIM supplied for the IPGSM-4GC is already activated.  Therefore no SIM activation is 
necessary. 

 

Registering the communicator activates the account with AlarmNet and enables the fire system's control panel to send 
reports.  There are three methods that can be used to register the communicator. 

 

Register the communicator by logging into AlarmNet Direct and choosing “Show Programmed Devices GSM/I”.  
Search for the account using the Account Information or MAC ID.  Under the “Actions” column, use the 
pulldown menu and choose Register.  OR 

 

After the IPGSM-4GC is installed and programmed, you can register the communicator by clicking the Tamper 
Switch 3 times.  OR 



IMPORTANT - Do Not mount this device outdoors.  

Warning – The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance 
of at least 20 cm (7.8 inches) from all persons and must not be collocated or operating in conjunction 
with any other antenna or transmitter. 

When choosing a suitable mounting location, understand that signal strength is very important for proper operation.  
For most installations using the supplied antenna, mounting the unit as high as practical, and avoiding large metal 
components provides adequate signal strength for proper operation.  

In this procedure, you will use the Communicator to determine signal strength in order to find a suitable mounting 
location. 

Note: Since the SIM is already activated, the RSSI signal strength indicators will indicate signal 
strength.  

1.  For this procedure you will need a fully charged 12V battery. 

2.  Attach the Antenna Mounting Adapter, RF cable, and Antenna (see illustration on page 6).
