Introduction
This main control unit HSC-IP Module (part number 650-9062) is the latest version of the previous IP Module (part number
650-9060) and has been designed to communicate with the HSC-IP Receiver over a network or the public internet. For the
ISM/AFx/xL security systems to be able to transmit messages to the HSC-IP Receiver, their main controller HSC-IP Module
must be programmed. A PC software utility to program the HSC-IP Module is used and discussed in these instructions. The
main control unit must have a compatible firmware version to work with the HSC-IP module and will also be discussed in
these instructions. The Director Software can also communicate to a security system through the HSC-IP module over a
network or the public internet and is discussed in these instructions.
Security System Planning for HSC-IP Communications
The following will provide the procedures that are necessary to set-up a security system for communications with a HSC-IP
Receiver and the Director Software.
1. Check List
Considerations to take note of before proceeding with the installation of the Security System HSC-IP Module at a customer’s
site:
NOTE: One Security System HSC-IP Module is used in every main control unit for it to communicate to an HSC-IP
Receiver or Director Software.
• What kind of security system is at the site the HSC-IP communications is intended for? Is it an ISM/AFx/xL system? Only
these types of security systems will work with the HSC-IP Module.
• How many control units are installed at the site? Each control unit will require one HSC-IP Module for it to communicate
with the HSC-IP Receiver or Director Software.
• What is the firmware version of the control units currently in use? The firmware will likely need upgrading to work with the
HSC-IP Module. This is discussed in Step 4.
• What is the main controller serial number? This is a 5 digit number on a sticker on the main controller circuit board.
• Is the customer currently reporting to a monitoring station?
• If “Yes” what is the security system’s account number that reports to the monitoring station?
• What is the type of alarm reporting? Is it by Dialer, DVACS, HSC, MK7?
• Who is the customer’s Internet Service Provider?
• Is there an Ethernet port available at the customer site?
• How are network addresses assigned on the customer LAN? “Static” or “DHCP”.
• Does the customer use Proxy services to access the Internet? If “Yes” what is the Proxy server name? E.g. “NTML”,
“SOCKS5”.
• Does the customer use the Director Software at the site?
Open xL Notices
► These instructions are used for both the Open xL and Monitor xL versions of xL Security Equipment.
► A red dot on xL equipment and its packing material will identify it as the Open xL version.
► Model numbers ending with a “T” will identify the Open xL equipment versions.
► Open xL and Monitor xL versions of xL Security Equipment can not be used together.
► VBUS devices can be used with both Open xL and Monitor xL versions of xL Security Equipment. VBUS devices are not used with ISM
equipment.
► Only Monitor xL Security Equipment can be used to upgrade a Monitor ISM security system. The Open xL version is not used with Monitor ISM
equipment.
► Only Monitor xL Director Software can be used to upgrade Director Software that communicates with a Monitor ISM security system. The Open xL
Director Software is not used with Monitor ISM equipment.
► Open xL, Monitor xL and ISM systems can communicate to the same HSC-IP Receiver. However, the Open xL system will require an Open xL
HSC-IP Module to communicate with the HSC-IP Receiver.
► A regular IP Module (non HSC-IP) can be used by an Open xL, Monitor xL or ISM system if they are only communicating to the Monitor xL or
Open xL Director Software.
► Only Monitor xL Director Software can be used with a Monitor xL Security System.
► Only Open xL Director Software can be used with an Open xL Security System.
► Confirm that the correct firmware is used when upgrading a security system’s firmware. Upgrading an Open xL security system firmware with
Monitor xL firmware can disrupt operations on a system wide scale. An Open xL system must be upgraded with Open xL firmware. The same
applies to only using Monitor xL firmware to upgrade a Monitor xL system.
