System Overview

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of Honeywell's 7845GSM/7845GSMCN Digital Cellular
Communicator (henceforth referred to as 7845GSM). It represents the latest and most
innovative communication technology for the security industry and uses the most
sophisticated encryption to ensure the highest level of security for your customer.
In addition to alarm reporting, the 7845GSM provides upload/downloading capability of
Honeywell's control panel data via the AlarmNet-G network, using GSM (Global System for
Mobile) technology.
The 7845GSM module requires an AlarmNet–I account. For new installations, please obtain the
account information from the central station prior to programming this module. For replacement
installations, the AlarmNet-I account is created automatically when the module is registered (based on
the existing "C Series" account).

General Information

Honeywell's 7845GSM Cellular Communicator transmits signals to the AlarmNet-G network
(GSM cellular network, which uses GPRS to complete these transmissions) and forwards
them to your central station. If your current Central Station is capable of receiving signals
from AlarmNet central stations, they are capable of receiving signals from the 7845GSM.
If the GPRS network is unavailable, the 7845GSM will attempt to send the transmission via
SMS (Short Message Service).
System Features
Basic features of the 7845GSM include:
• Quick connection to compatible Honeywell series control panels
• Simple programming using a 7720P programming tool
• Reports fire, burg, and status messages via wireless network
• Allows uploading and downloading of control panel data via the wireless network.

Modes of Operation

The 7845GSM provides four modes of operation so it can be used with various types of
control panels, as summarized below:

ECP Mode

• This mode is for use with Honeywell controls that support LRR-ECP communication
• The module connects to the control's keypad terminals and provides 2-way communication
with the control using ECP messaging
