Diginet IP Module

Diginet Account Code - This is an 8 character field to store the Account Code allocated to you by the monitoring centre. Your account code will normally be 4 characters long and the rest of the characters should be padded with zeros. For example, if your account code is 1234 then this field should contain the value 12340000.

The MAC address - It is not possible to change this number. The MAC address is transmitted with every DigiNet alarm signal and can be checked by the monitoring centre for its validity.

Client Tab

The DigiNet needs to act as a client - connecting to a remote Monitoring Centre server in response to events on its inputs. In order to enable DigiNet to act as a client you will need to:
Check the "Enable Client" box.
Specify the IP address of the Primary Server.
Specify which port to use.

You can also specify the IP address of a backup server in case communication with the primary server fails. If communication with the backup server fails, you can set a Watchdog to activate output number 2 on the DigiNet after a programmable number of retires. Each attempt to connect to the primary and backup server counts as a retry, so if you have set the DigiNet to try the primary server 3 times, followed by the backup server 3 times - then you should set the Watchdog to activate after 6 retries. Alternative signalling equipment can be connected to output 2.

For remotely controlling the outputs of the DigiNet - it needs to act as a server. It will do this automatically, however, to access it from the internet either a fixed IP address or a DNS name is required. You will also need to port forward port 80 to the DigiNet.

Trigger Low on Inputs

A message can be sent to the monitoring centre by triggering any of the digital inputs. Digital inputs can trigger messages when they go high, when they go low - or both. These are selected by checking the associated boxes in the "Trigger Low on Inputs" and "Trigger High on Inputs" sections. There is no limit on the combinations of high or low triggers. The digital inputs are said to be "low" when they are at 0v and "high" when they are at 5v. Place a tick in the box of each input that you want to transmit a signal when its terminal "goes low".

Trigger High on Inputs

Place a tick in the box of each input that you want to transmit a signal when its terminal "goes high". The tick has no effect if a device is not connected to the input.

When input number 16 on the DigiNet goes low - all other inputs are disabled and a close/disarm signal is sent. When it is returned to high, all other inputs are enabled and an open/arm signal is sent.
