The GSMX4G communicates with AlarmNet using GSM (Global System for Mobile) technology utilizing GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) as a means of data transfer. If the GPRS part of the GSM cellular network is unavailable, it will attempt to send a transmission via SMS (Short Message Service) also known as a text message.
GSMX4G / GSMXCN4G Installation and Setup Guide Modes of Operation The GSMX4G is for control panels that support ECP communication. • The control panel treats the communicator as an ECP device, so • ensure to program the control panel with the communicator’s device address.
KEY used to encrypt the data. Each device produced by Honeywell is loaded with a unique identi- fier called a MAC number, and a large random number or KEY. This KEY and MAC number are also stored in the AlarmNet servers.
