1. Introduction The IDS Modem provides a means for security companies to set up the configuration of client s alarm panels on the bench, and maintain them via a fixed line telephone network. The modem will work with all IDS Alarm Panels except the IDS 1600. IDS816EX and IDS1632 Alarm Panels can download/upload at 900bps. Remote updating and modifying client s Alarm Panel configuration is performed using IDS download Software for MS Windows. 2. Minimum System Requirements IBM PC MS Windows XP Service Pack 1 or later 1 free Com Port or 1 free USB port IDS Download Software version 3.18 or later Access to telephone line pair 3. Specifications Line Interface V.21 compliant (300bps) when uploading/downloading from IDS 816 Alarm Panels 900bps (propriety) capability when uploading/downloading from IDS 816EX and IDS 1632 Alarm Panels. NOTE: The IDS Modem will NOT work with the IDS1600 Alarm Panels - these require a standard commercial modem. PC Interface USB driver software is provided to permit the device to operate via the PCs USB port. 4. Installation There is a choice of standard Serial Port operation or USB operation. It is not possible to operate using both Serial and USB options simultaneously. Choose the option that suits the installation and follow the directions accordingly. 4.1 Serial Port Option The Modem can connect to the serial port of the PC and the system will work without any need for additional drivers. Just plug in the power cable and connect the Serial Cable. USB port operation requires the installation of the USB driver: IDS Modem 700 313 01B Issued January 2009 4
