Basic IP Connections / Older
Firmware
Note: The Director software is backward-compatible
with existing IP connections. These are not
recommended for use on a public domain.
Beginning with version 3.30, the Guardall
Director software allows connecting to a panel
through an IP connection (LAN/WAN), and/or
reporting to a central monitoring facility through
an IP connection (SIP reporting).
The PC-to-panel connection via IP does not
require any specific revision of panel firmware.
The SIP reporting feature requires v3.30 panel
firmware or higher.
IP connections include an IP interface board
that must be properly set up for use with the
Guardall Director system.
All details on setting up an IP connection
are documented separately. For full
details, refer to the instruction manual
included with your IP interface board.
Tip: This may also be available on the Director
CD as a printable/viewable 'PDF' file.
