3.5  Security IP Receiver Software (SIP) 
(at the Central Monitoring Facility) 
3.5.1 Introduction 
The IP receiver software polls up to 1000 
panel connections (IP boards), and relays 
the messages it receives to alarm 
automation software (MAS or equiv.) using 
the SG-DLR2 protocol. 
Each panel is referenced by the ”Digital 
Account ID” which is displayed as the account # in the receiver software. This is set through 
the system communications screen of the Director software, or with S001:00 through an LCD 
keypad.
3.5.2 Connection between the IP Receiver PC and the Automation PC 
Connect through an available serial com port (RS-232) using wiring that is compatible with the 
automation software. (Tip: The serial com port being used needs to be set in the IP receiver 
software as well.) 
3.5.3 Connection Mode Options 
The IP Receiver software can connect using any of these modes: 
• Auto-Mode: (Single-Panel Only). This uses only the IP address and port number of the IP 
Interface board. All other settings are taken care of automatically avoiding most common 
problems including address duplication etc. 
Note
: With this setting, leave the "Connect Number" blank at the IP Receiver software. 
• 
Main Panel Motherboard Serial Number Mode: (Single panel or shared connection.). This 
uses the serial number of the panel, plus the IP address and port number of the IP Interface 
board. This is the easiest approach that supports a multi-panel connection. 
The panel's Serial Number: 
+ Is defined through the Director software under: Configuration⇒System ⇒Communication 
  (can be viewed through an LCD keypad under S005:00, 1
st
 field) if the Memory Model is less 
 than ≤ 4. 
+ Must be entered as the "Connect Number" through the IP Receiver
 software. 
•  Digital Account ID/Number: (Single-panel or shared connection). This uses the "Digital Account 
ID" of the panel, plus the IP address and port number of the IP Interface board. 
  The digital account number: 
+ Must be unique for each panel. 
+ Is defined through the Director software under: Configuration⇒System ⇒Communication 
  (or through an LCD keypad under S001:00 (2
nd
 field) if the Memory Model is less than ≤ 4. 
+ Must
 also be entered as the "Connect Number" through the IP Receiver software, 
  and as the
 "Account Number" through the automation software; 
•  SIP Address
: (Single-panel or shared connection).  This uses the optional panel 
setting "SIP Address", plus the IP address and port number of the IP Interface board. 
  The panel SIP Address: 
+ Must be unique for each panel on a shared connection (i.e. on the same IP board) 
  01 – 80 (00 = not used) 
+ Is defined through the Director software under: Configuration ⇒System ⇒Communication 
  (or through an LCD keypad under S005:02 (2
nd
 field) if the Memory Model is less than ≤ 4. 
+ Must
 also be entered as the "Connect Number" through the IP Receiver software. 
Director PC: The Security IP Receiver software cannot 
be run on the MONITOR ISM / AFx Director PC. A 
separate PC will need to be dedicated 
Activation Key: The IP receiver software requires an 
activation key on the parallel port of the PC.
