What is GSM?
• Global System for Mobile Communications
–
–
–
–
Developed in 1990s
One of the leading digital cellular networks
AT&T network in the U.S.
Rogers network in Canada
• Most popular standard for mobile phones in the world.
– Approximately 70% of the world’s market
– Open standard with roaming capability

Two communication paths: GPRS and SMS
GPRS
SMS
• General Packet Radio Service
• Short Message Service
– Always On connection
• Typically faster than SMS
– Real-time confirmation
• Higher bandwidth capacity
– Supports downloading
– Store and forward communication
• Sent via SMS Center
• Less bandwidth capacity
– No downloading support
Both signaling and speech channels are digital.
Higher digital voice quality and text messaging

Installation Procedures
Installation of a GSM radio will consist of a few steps:
1. Activating the SIM card.
2. Finding a suitable mounting location with adequate signal
strength.
3. Wiring to control panel.
4. Programming and Registration
8
GSM Communication
Honeywell Proprietary
 Honeywell.com
Activating the SIM Card
• The SIM card on the GSM
device you are installing must be
activated prior to completing the
registration process.
• You will not have any signal
strength indication on your GSM
radio prior to SIM activation.
• The SIM card can be activated
up to thirty days prior to
registration.
• You may set up registration at
the time of activation.
• If the radio is not registered to
an account within thirty days, the
SIM will be automatically
deactivated by Alarmnet.

Activating the SIM Card
There are three ways to activate a SIM card:
1) Log on to Alarmnet Direct website and enter MAC ID and CRC
information
https://services.alarmnet.com/alarmnetdirect/
2) Contact your Central Station
3) Call Alarmnet SIM activation at 800-222-6525
 Select option 1 for Technical Support, then press 1 for Alarmnet
GSM device activation.
 You must have the MAC ID and CRC to activate the SIM.
 It will take from several minutes to a few hours to activate the SIM.

Zone Mode
• When the GSM is programmed for zone
mode, there are six input zones available.
• The first zone input (TB1, pin 5) can detect
a pulsed signal (reported as zone 1) or a
steady signal (reported as zone 2).
• When using zone trigger mode, messages
are sent in ADEMCO high-speed format.

 This will help prevent false alarms caused by supervision voltage on the bell circuit.
 This will also prevent the radio from causing bell circuit faults on the control panel.
►Note: Enabling this feature will raise the trip voltage on zones 1, 2, and 3
from 2VDC to 5VDC.
This option should not be enabled with negative trigger inputs on
zones 1, 2, or 3.

input is 2VDC-14VDC.
Trigger levels above 14VDC may damage the unit and trigger
levels below 2VDC may not trigger the zone.
Remember: Enabling “Trip Inputs w/Bell out” increases minimum
trigger requirement for zones 1, 2, and 3 to 5VDC.

7845I-GSM Programming Options
IP Flt Time
(60 mins)
• Basically the same as the previously discussed “GSM
flt time.” In the event there is loss of contact with the
network over the Ethernet connection, enter the time
delay before the 7845i-GSM notifies the Central Station
of the problem.
• IP failure will always be reported as “Primary
Communication Path Failure”
Notify Panel Of
(Neither Fault)_
• Programming options are: “Neither Fault” or “Both IP
and GSM Faults.”
• If “Both IP and GSM Faults” is selected, the device will
notify the control panel (via ECP bus or GSM fault relay)
if both communication paths fail.

the event of an internet failure.
• If enabled, the 7845i-GSM sends a supervision ping
over the GSM network once a day to verify backup
communication path.
• A “secondary communication path loss” message is
generated if the message is not successfully
delivered.

For 24 UL battery backup requirement, this feature must be
enabled, or the unit must be powered by an appropriate UL
listed UPS.
What does it do?
If the feature is enabled, the communicator’s NIC card will power
down and will power up every 20 seconds to send a test ping (to
test internet path) then power down again. The NIC will also
power up anytime the unit needs to transmit information over the
internet. If connectivity problems occur with certain routers or
switches, disable this option.

•
The PIN is only transferred to the 7845GSM device
on the first data transfer attempt.
If your device fails to register, take the following
steps using AlarmNet Direct.
a) Delete the account from “Show Programmed Devices”.
b) Add the account back using “Replace C” or “Replace Other Device”.
c) From the “Show Programmed Devices” page, execute the SEND
DATA command and get confirmation of the data transfer by
refreshing the page.
d) After current date and time are showing in the “Transferred” column,
execute the “Register” command.
•
Following these steps will ensure the PIN is transferred to the
device. Remember, If the device fails to register the first time,
the PIN will be reset to FFFF and will not be accepted by the
AlarmNet servers.

The Vista-20P and LynxR-I communicates with the 7845GSM
over the ECP (keypad) bus.
To setup the control panel, do the following:
1. Connect the 7845GSM module to the control panel’s ECP (keypad)
terminals as you would a keypad.
2. Enable the 7845GSM as a Long Range Radio in the control panel to
enable alarm reporting and module supervision.
-
Vista - *29 = 1
LynxR-I - *55 = 1
3. Program the 7845GSM and set the ECP address to 3.
4. Register the 7845GSM with AlarmNet. The module must be registered
before downloading or alarm reporting can take place.

To set up the control panel, do the following:
1. Connect the 7845GSM module to the control panel’s ECP (keypad)
terminals as you would a keypad.
2. Program the 7845GSM as required using the 7720P programmer. (To
do this, temporarily disconnect the RJ11 from the 7845GSM and plug
in the programmer). Remember to program:

•
Question 13 (ANI ECP Address) with the same address programmed in Step
4. Two additional programming questions have been added for direct wire
downloading over IP:
Question 14 (Enable DW) to enable direct wire downloading; and
Question 15 (Direct Wire Address), to tell the 7845GSM what keypad
address the 7845GSM is going to use for direct wire downloading (same
address as entered in Step 5).
3. Connect the trigger cable between the control panel trigger connector
and the 7845GSM (RJ11 connection).
4.
Enable an address for the 7845GSM as a Long Range Radio (LRR) in the
control panel’s Device Programming Mode (*93). This enables the
7845GSM on the control panel.
