MIP-2/UD

IP Communicator for Burglar Alarm
Panels

General

The MIP-2/UD is a simple communications device that allows

the transmission of alarms generated by a conventional control

panel through any kind of IP network (ADSL, cable, Inter-

net…), at the same time that it keeps the standard telephone

line as a back-up mechanism.
Designed to work with most of the already installed control

panels, the MIP-2/UD allows for a faster and more economic

alarm transmission, improving response times, decreasing

costs and offering value added features such as the super-

vised line functionality that allows the central station to detect if

any of the alarm panels go off-line. At the central station side,

Teldat has designed an IP receiver, the VisorALARM PLUS,

that will integrate seamlessly into conventional central station

architectures

Features

• Allows any Contact-ID Burglar alarm panel to transmit

alarms over IP networks.

• Saves the cost of an 800 number to receive alarms. Trans-

mission is done through a flat rate Internet connection that

is shared with other devices.

• Eliminates the cost of two dedicated phone lines. Only the

customer’s shared IP equipment is required.

• Can use newer low-cost, non-analog, digital telephone ser-

vices such as cable or fiber optics.

• Increases connection supervision to the central station from

the once-a-day test signal to once every 30 - 90 seconds.

• Requires no change to the existing panel configuration. The

IP Communicator connects directly to the primary and sec-

ondary analog panel telephone ports.

• Fast alarm transmission (less than 1 second transmission

time) for better response times to burglar alarms.

• Works over any type of customer-provided Ethernet 10/100

Base network connection (LAN or WAN), DSL modem or

cable modem.

• Data transmits over standard contact-ID protocol but is

secured with the industry’s highest level of encryption (AES

512 bit).

• Supports both dynamic (DHCP) or Public and Private Static

IP addressing.

• Supports dual-destination IP receiver address for high

redundancy configurations: all signals are sent to a second-

ary address should the primary become unavailable.

• MIP-2/UD can be installed inside the alarm panel or inside

its own wall mount enclosure.

• Upload/Download capabilities: Allows central station opera-

tors to manage the remote alarm panels over IP using the

VisorALARM PLUS receiver to manage all the connections,

protocols and additional features. You will be able to pro-

gram, upgrade, download or perform any operation. Teldat

actually supports panels like Vista, Paradox, and Networks.

• Supports an optional third maintenance receiver installed at

the end user’s facility that permits local alarm monitoring.

Alarms are received simultaneously at both the central sta-

tion and the customer’s facility. A filter can be applied to

annunciate specific alarm types such as trouble-only

events.

Easy to Program

There are three ways to configure the IP Communicator:

1. Console terminal using the HyperTerminal™ software

program found on all Microsoft® operating systems.
2. Local or remote Telnet session via Ethernet connection.
3. Windows-based configuration software (shipped with IP

Communicator).

The IP Communicator can be pre-programmed. The program-

mer enters all central-station information and an auto-registra-

tion password. This is saved to the unit’s flash memory. When

the IP Communicator is installed at the site and connected to

the Internet/Intranet, it registers itself with the central station

receiver. This eliminates the need for a PC at the remote site

for programming. The IP receiver at the monitoring station will

automatically configure other parameters during registration.

THE

ONLY

REQUIRED

PARAMETERS

ARE

:

• Selection of either DHCP or Static IP.
• Destination primary and secondary receiver IP addresses.
• Account identification number (CID).
• Port number.
• Installation password.
All of these parameters are assigned by the central station.

Installation Requirements

• Burglar panel compatible with Contact-ID format.
• At least 250mA of electrical power available on the power

supply to use for the MIP UD unit (500mA recommended).

• Ethernet network connector (10/100 Mbps).
• DHCP server present on the local network or an available

IP address to be used with the MIP UD.

• UDP port to use with for the MIP UD communication with

the monitoring station (default port: 80).

• Destination IP addresses of the VisorALARM receivers

where the MIP UD will be sending alarms and other events.

• Panel account ID number (CID).
• Installer password (provided by the monitoring station man-

aging the VisorALARM IP receiver).
