Great device! Works perfectly and will immediately notify if your alarm is triggered. You will however need to learn how to program your alarm system. I have an Ademco Vista 20P alarm system. You will need the 6160 keypad to program the alarm system. This is the larger alpha numeric keypad. If you have the 6150 you will not be able to program your keypad. However it’s a simple swap. Probably the hardest part for me was getting accustomed to programming the alarm. Installing the Envisalink was easy. It’s a very tiny device, slightly larger than a credit card. The installation process consists of adding this device as additional keypad to the alarm system and then programming the alarm system for this new module. INSTALLATION: 1) Set up your Eyezon account and enter the Mac address written on the unit. 2) On my alarm box I had to drill three small holes to install the plastic retaining pins. I made a paper template of the device for the location of the holes and quickly drilled them. Then simply connect 4 wires from the Envisalink to the alarm system keypad and hook up your RJ-45 cable. 3) Once hooked up to your router you must insure that the Envisalink is set to the correct keypad address you are going to assign it. I entered my router to find its IP address and then typed that into the web browser. Then enter the username as “user” and the password as “user”. If the default keypad address is wrong, you simply modify the settings in the browser. 4) Finally you need to program the alarm and enable the keypad address you are assigning to the Envisalink module. Then don’t forget to enable address *29 on the alarm, which on my unit is the Long Range Radio Unit function for the Envisalink to properly function. 5) These are the final alarm settings you need to make and you can find these instructions on the Envisalink webpage. But here they are to give you an idea. *48 Contact ID. Use the default, Contact ID 4 by setting *48 to 77 *49 Split/Dual report. *49, should be set to 5 to enable both communicators getting events *50 Burglar Dialer Delay (optional). The default is [2,0] which causes a 30 second delay until an alarm event is sent out. If you want the event to be sent out with no delay then set this to [0,0]. *54 Dynamic Signalling. You should turn off the dynamic signalling delay by making 54 to 0 *55 Communicator Priority. Put the reporting priority to, *55, to 1 to make sure the Envisalink gets the event first NOTE: Please ensure that for each zone in your system the reporting code is NOT set to 00. If they are you will not receive alarm events. In order to receive alerts, you need to program your panel to send the alerts. All reports are optional so only enable the ones you want to see. Remember, you can always suppress reporting of reports on the alerting server so we recommend enabling all reports. Go to the following sections and program them with 11, or keep hitting 1 until your hear three beeps from the keypad. *59 Exit Error Reporting *60 Trouble Reporting *61 Bypass Reporting *62 AC Loss Reporting *63 Low Battery Reporting *65 Openings (disarming) Report *66 Closings (arming) Report *67 RF Low Battery Reporting *68 Cancel (opening after alarm) Reporting *70 Alarm Restorals Reporting *71 Trouble Restorals Reporting *72 Bypass Restorals Reporting *73 AC Fail Restoral Reporting *74 LowBat Restoral Reporting *75 RF LowBat Restoral Reporting Hope this helps.
