5 5 Main features Main features of the Universal Interface: May be mounted in an ATS control panel enclosure. Acts as a gateway between the control panel and multiple management systems including ATS8000/ATS8300, SecureStream, and the GE Security Network Receiver. Transmits Contact ID (CID Large) and Security Industry Association (SIA) data via Internet protocol (IP) connection. Communicates with management systems across the WAN or LAN. Uses negligible network bandwidth. Supports encrypted communications. Supports TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols. Initial programming by web interface on installer s PC. Firewall can be easily set up for ports to allow or deny IP protocols. The ATS control panel must be fitted with an ATS1801 Computer & Printer Interface. Only 10 Mb/s IP connections are supported to the control panel. Web interface The Universal Interface has a built-in web server that is used to program, check status, update the firmware, and restart the Universal Interface. The installation technician initially opens the programming web pages at the Universal Interface s default IP address ( using a web browser on an installation computer. In order to do so: The installation computer must be temporarily assigned an IP address within the subnet, which permits the installation computer access to the address It is recommended to connect the Ethernet ports of the installation computer and the Universal Interface by means of a UTP cross over lead (it is possible that the client s network will not permit communication within the subnet). A new IP address is assigned to the Universal Interface by the client s network administrator. When the Universal Interface is restarted or reset (and the default jumper is not fitted) the assigned IP address takes effect and is used for any subsequent programming. Installer and cabling requirements Only qualified and trained installation technicians with knowledge of network settings, an understanding of Internet protocols, SecureStream (as applicable), and GE Security Network Receiver installers (as applicable) may install and program the Universal Interface.

7 7 Installation section Overview In order for you to install and program a Universal Interface, you must first: Use an LCD RAS on the control panel s LAN to obtain (or program) the panel s computer address and security password, and to program central station reporting (if required). See Setting up the control panel below. Set up the installation computer on which you will use a web browser to program the Universal Interface s configuration options. See Setting up the installation computer below. Obtain a number of details about the installation from various sources. These details are listed on a blank installation worksheet on page 23 that you can copy for reuse. The overall process of installing a Universal Interface consists of the following tasks. Setting up the control panel Setting up the installation computer Installing the Universal Interface Programming Finishing the installation Setting up the control panel The following control panel options must be programmed via *MENU : Computer address Security password Central Station parameters Refer to pages 13 and 17 for details. Setting up the installation computer The Universal Interface is programmed using a web browser to display the web pages generated by the Universal Interface s embedded web server at either the default IP address or the assigned IP address (provided by the local network administrator). In either case, you must configure the web browser to directly display the Universal Interface s web pages without using the network proxy server. Seek advice from the client s IT staff before you start. The following example is for Internet Explorer 5. Use the correct procedure for your particular web browser. Step Action 1 Start the web browser (Internet Explorer). 2 In Internet Explorer, select Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings > Advanced. 3 In the Exceptions window, type the default static IP address of the Universal Interface, followed by a semi-colon, followed by the assigned static IP address (provided by the local network administrator). For example, type ; (where is the IP address for the Universal Interface, as provided by the local network administrator), and click OK (see Figure 4).

8 8 AL-1809/CA1809/ATS1809 Universal interface Installation and programming guide Figure 4: Example of proxy settings for bypassing specific addresses. Installing the Universal Interface As described in Web interface on page 5, the Universal Interface s assigned static address parameters may be programmed (see page 11). Installing the hardware Step Action 1 Power down the ATS control panel (or other 12 VDC power source) that will be used to power the Universal Interface. 2 If not already done so, install a ATS1801 Computer and Printer Interface (not supplied) on the control panel, following the instructions contained in the ATS1801 Installation Guide. The ATS1801 Computer and Printer Interface provides an RS232 connection between the control panel and the Universal Interface. 3 Mount the Universal Interface in the ATS control panel enclosure. The distance from the ATS control panel to the Universal Interface must not exceed 3 metres. 4 Connect the ATS1801 Computer & Printer Interface Computer port to the Universal Interface, using the supplied plug-on screw terminals. See the simplified wiring diagram on page 5 for details. 5 Connect GND to Earth using jumper GDN-LNK. See Figure 2 on page 4 for the location of GDN-LNK. This step applies only if GND is set to Earth on the control panel.

9 9 Installation This procedure may be used for all ATS control panels and must be used in all cases where the Universal Interface does not have the factory-default settings (e.g. a previously-fitted unit). The installation computer must be temporarily assigned an IP address within the subnet, which permits the installation computer access to the address Step Action 1 Change the installation computer s IP address settings to be within the subnet, i.e X, where X is any number from (do not use as the Universal Interface uses this). Record the installation computer s original settings so that you can restore them after programming the Universal Interface at the default address. 2 Fit the Universal Interface s default jumper (DEF) to default the Universal Interface to the factory settings. See Using the default jumper on page 18 for details. 3 Attach power cables between the Universal Interface and the auxiliary power terminals on the ATS control panel (or other 12 VDC power source). 4 Connect the Ethernet ports of the installation computer and the Universal Interface by means of a UTP cross over lead. Alternatively, connect the Internet/Ethernet cable from the Universal Interface to your network IP connection point (however, it is possible that the client s network will not permit communication within the subnet). 5 Re-power the ATS control panel (or other 12 VDC power source) to power the Universal Interface. 6 Go to Programming section on page 10 to program the static address parameters and all remaining options via the default IP address. 7 Follow the appropriate procedures in Finishing the installation on page 16 to complete the installation.

10 10 AL-1809/CA1809/ATS1809 Universal interface Installation and programming guide Programming section When you perform an installation, use the default IP address ( to open the Universal Interface s programming web pages. Program all required options including the static address parameters. See Installation on page 9 for details. The Universal Interface welcome screen displays. Figure 5: Universal Interface displayed in web browser. The Universal Interface web pages display a menu on the left-hand side of the window that you will use to access various programming options. In this section you will program the following options: User name and password (see page 11). Network settings (see page 11). ATS panel option (see page 12). Firewall rules (see page 13). Optional /TFTP Parameters (see page 14). Network Receiver Parameters (see page 14). Program the options using the information that you recorded on the Installation worksheet on page 23.

11 11 Logging in Click Login in the User Authentication section of the Universal Interface menu to display the login window. Use the default user name ADVISOR MASTER (case sensitive), and password , to log in to the Universal Interface and begin a session. It is important to note that: Login sessions automatically terminate after five minutes. If you need more than 5 minutes to complete your work, logout and login again to begin a new 5-minute session. If an incorrect user name/password is entered more than five times, more attempts to log in will be delayed by about 60 seconds. After about 60 seconds, logins are allowed as usual. When programming the Universal Interface, you must save your changes using the Submit button on each page before you refresh the web browser or logout, otherwise your changes will be lost. You may need to refresh the web browser in order to see the latest data from the Universal Interface. User name and password Use the default user name and password to initially log in to the Universal Interface and begin a session. Click Change User Details in the User Authentication section of the Universal Interface menu to program the required user name and password. Network settings Step Action 1 Click Static Address Parameters in the Network Setup section of the Universal Interface menu to display the network parameters setup window. Type the new IP address, net mask and gateway address (provided by the local network administrator) for the Universal Interface and click Submit. 2 The Universal Interface should be configured to communicate with central station reporting and/or management software. Click Central Station Parameters in the Network Setup section of the Universal Interface menu and type the IP addresses for any CID site or management software site collecting ATS panel events via IP. Three entries are available for reporting to a GE Security Network Receiver (listed under Alarm Reporting Central Station), and twelve are available for communication to management applications (listed as entry 4 15 under Management Central Stations): Alarm Reporting Central Station 1 is the main GE Security Network Receiver. Alarm Reporting Central Station 2 is the backup GE Security Network Receiver. Alarm Reporting Central Station 3 is the disaster GE Security Network Receiver. Management Central Station 4-15 are for ATS8000/ATS8300 management software. For each IP address, select the options for Protocol, Port, Event type, and Encryption. See Figure 6 on page 12 for details, and Table 1 on page 12 for allowable settings. Click Submit. 3 Network probing is an additional feature that will send a message using TCP port to all programmed IP addresses in Central Station parameters. The first to return an answer will prevent the Universal Interface from generating a Line fault with Universal E-Link error. When enabled, firewall rules should be setup such that they do not block this message (this includes the Windows XP firewall). At least one PC in the programmed list should remain active. When disabled, no network probing is performed. Normal polling mechanisms however remain in operation. This test is performed every 12 seconds. When finished programming the Universal Interface, click Restart Communications in the Utilities section of the main menu to update the system data.

The value may not be 0. 2 Click Panel Security Password in the Panel Setup section of the Universal Interface menu. Type the 10-digit password and click Submit. This password must match the security password that was keyed in the ATS panel at menu during installation. TIP: As a precaution, delete any temporary files your browser creates each time the security password is submitted. TIP: The security password can also be changed using Titan Advanced or Alliance 8300 once connection is established. 3 Click Twofish Encryption Key in the Panel Setup section of the Universal Interface menu. Typing in all zeros disables encryption, even if enable is selected. Accepts up to 16 numbers, each three-digit number in each field can be from Keep a record of your encryption key. Click Enable and Submit. TIP: As a precaution, delete any temporary files your browser creates each time encryption is submitted. When finished programming the Universal Interface, click Restart Communications in the Utilities section of the main menu to update the system data. Firewall rules Firewall rules allow you to accept or deny one or more selected communication protocols and associated data. Adding a new rule to accept a protocol doesn t stop communication with other protocols. To deny a protocol you need to either set up a specific rule, or use the option Set default rule to deny all connections. The Show all rules and Delete a Rule functions are self-explanatory and are not explained here. The system diagram depicted in Figure 7 on page 20 shows several system components (GE Security Network Receiver, ATS8000/ATS8300, and a computer with a web browser). The table on page 21 summarises the firewall rules for the sample system. Step Action 1 Add a rule so that the computer with the web browser can access the Universal Interface. Click Add a new rule in the Firewall Setup section of the Universal Interface menu. Type the IP address of the computer with the web browser, type port number 80, select TCP, select Accept, and click Submit. Setting the port number to 0 (zero), allows all port numbers. Repeat this step for any other computers requiring web access to the Universal Interface. 2 Add a rule for each CID station or ATS8000/ATS8300 management software station that requires access via the Universal Interface. Click Add a new rule in the Firewall Setup section of the Universal Interface menu. Type the IP address of the CID station or ATS8000/ATS8300 management software station, type port number 3001, select UDP, select Accept, and click Submit. Setting the port number to 0 (zero), allows all port numbers. Repeat this step for each CID station or ATS8000/ATS8300 management software station that requires access via the Universal Interface. 3 Add a rule to enable a ping test, if required. Click Add a new rule in the Firewall Setup section of the Universal Interface menu. Type the IP address of the computer from which you want to perform a ping test, select ICMP, select Accept, and click Submit. We recommend that ICMP is normally disabled, and only used temporarily for testing. 4 Click Set default rule to deny all connections in the Firewall Setup section of the Universal Interface menu to exclude any other connections than the ones that you created rules for, and click Submit. 1. The Universal Interface uses a mechanism (Network Probing) where it can transmit a message using TCP port to check if a network is present (if enabled, see Network Setup - Network Probing). It will try to send this message to every central station programmed. The first to return an answer (Acknowledge or Reject) will stop further testing until the next test (12 second intervals). 2. The usage of the firewall should be limited, as routers and firewalls in normal cases already provide the same security levels and are managed and updated by IT departments.

If the PC at the receiving end has a firewall running (like Windows XP firewall) this also requires to be setup such that the ports are opened. /TFTP parameters As an alternative to connecting a printer to the Computer & Printer Interface (fitted to the control panel) and printing events, you can program the Universal Interface to output the printer events as data files and to send the files to addresses or to a TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server address. Setting up addresses, servers, or TFTP servers is not described in this document. Step Action 1 Click /TFTP Parameters in the Network Setup section of the Universal Interface menu. 2 To use , type at least one address. Use additional addresses if you want to send to more than one recipient. Leave all addresses blank if you do not want to send . 3 Type the IP address for the mail server or TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server, as required. Leave the server address blank if you do not want to send or TFTP. 4 Type the Maximum number of events before sending to use the number of logged events as a trigger for sending or TFTP. The value 0 (zero) disables this function. In addition to using a value greater than zero to trigger or TFTP, you can also schedule or TFTP by using the time settings, below. 5 Use the Time to send scheduled fields in hours, minutes, and AM / PM to schedule daily or TFTP transmissions. If used in conjunction with a Maximum number of events before sending value, the scheduling function will send or TFTP even if the number of logged events has not reached the specified (non-zero) value. 6 When finished programming the required or TFTP options, click Submit. When finished programming the Universal Interface, click Restart Communications in the Utilities section of the main menu to update the system data. Network Receiver parameters Step Action 1 Click Network Receiver in the Network Setup section of the Universal Interface menu. 2 Type the Receiver number.

16 16 AL-1809/CA1809/ATS1809 Universal interface Installation and programming guide Finishing the installation After a full installation During a full installation, the Universal Interface s assigned static address parameters were programmed via the Universal Interface s programming web pages at the default IP address, and connected to the installation computer using a UTP cross over lead. After programming you need to check that the installation computer can access the Universal Interface s programming web pages at the assigned IP address on the client s network. Step Action 1 Remove the UTP cross over lead from the installation computer and the Universal Interface. 2 Connect the installation computer s Ethernet port and the Universal Interface s Ethernet port to the client s network IP connection points. 3 Remove the default jumper on DEF and reset the Universal Interface by momentarily connecting across the Universal Interface's reset jumper RST (or re-power the Universal Interface). See Figure 2 on page 4 for the location of DEF and RST. This applies the new settings for the Universal Interface, replacing the default settings. 4 Configure the installation computer s network parameters to be within the same subnet as the new settings for the Universal Interface. For example: If the Universal Interface = , Mask , Gateway= , then the computer has to be the same Mask and Gateway, but a different IP, for example; Verify that you can view the Universal Interface s web pages at the new static IP address. Start a web browser on the computer and type the IP address in Internet Explorer s Address bar that you assigned to the Universal Interface. For example, type and press Enter (if was the assigned static IP address). Welcome to the Universal Interface displays in the browser.

17 17 Reference section Additional programming Some of the items that you programmed in the Universal Interface as a result of following the procedures in this manual also need to be programmed in the ATS panel using an LCD RAS, and in other applications such as the management software and/or the central station software (as applicable). The following sections list the items that need to be programmed in addition to the Universal Interface programming. Refer to the programming instructions for the management software and/or the central station software (as applicable) for complete details.
