DMP Integration Instructions
DMP Panel Configuration Requirements
Setting Up XR Series Panels (for Panels with Versions Less than 192)
To set up an XR series panel for use, it is necessary to configure the PC Log Reports section in the Remote Link software connected to the DMP panel:
- Enter the IP address of the recorder in the Net IP Address box.
- Check all of the checkboxes under Options.
- Leave the Net Port at the default, 2001.
Setting Up XR Series Panels (for Panels with Versions Less than 192 and Beyond)
To set up an XR series panel, it is necessary to configure the integrator Path in the Remote Options section in the Remote Link software connected to the DMP panel:
- Select Net as the Connection type.
- Enter the Incoming TCP Port (2001 as default).
- Enter the IP address of the recorder in the Integrator IP Address box.
- Enter the Outbound TCP Port (2001 as default).
- Leave Backup Connection as none.
- Select all event types.
- Leave Check-in Minutes at 0.
- Leave Passphrase blank.
NOTE: Currently, OpenEye supports the XR-Series (XR550, XR150) and XT-Series (XT50, XT30) alarm panels.
NOTE: Integration with XR-Series and XT-Series panels requires firmware 171 or greater on the panel. When upgrading the firmware be sure to reset the panel when complete. Manually reconfiguring the panel may be necessary depending on previous configurations. When upgrading the firmware be sure to reset the panel when complete. Manually reconfiguring the panel may be necessary depending on previous configurations.
Setting Up XT Series Panels
To set up an XT series panel for use, it is necessary to configure the Communications / Receiver 2 section in the Remote Link software connected to the DMP panel:
- Enter the IP address of the recorder in the 1st IP Address box.
- Check Alarms, Supervisory/Trouble, Opening/Closing, and User and Test Report.
- Leave the Net Port at the default, 2001.
NOTE: To get events based on access control readers, an equivalent zone 2 (Door Contact) for the 734 Weigand Interface Module needs to be configured. These readers will then appear on the sensor list in setup and allow you to generate macros based on their activation or alerts based on area access. Please reference the 734 Installation Guide to determine the proper zone addresses.
The following information will be required later to configure and can be obtained from the Panel Information window:
- Account Number
- Remote Key
- IP Address
Adding an Intrusion Panel
Add and configure an Intrusion Panel in the Intrusion tab under Setup > General Configuration > Intrusion.
There are two ways to add a DMP Panel to the system:
Auto Discovery (Preferred Method)
Go to Intrusion > Intrusion Panels and check the box labeled Enable DMP Auto-Discovery to have the system attempt to automatically add a connected intrusion panel. This setting must be enabled each time the recorder is powered on.
If the system is receiving data from the panel, it will automatically be added to the recorder. Make sure to trigger an alert on the panel to ensure data is being sent. The easiest method is to arm, then disarm the panel. Once added, click on the panel in the intrusion menu and enter the Remote Key, then click Save.
Manual Add
To manually add the panel, click on the Add New Intrusion Panel option in the Intrusion section of setup. Refer to the Intrusion Panel Configuration section below.
Intrusion Panel Configuration
Intrusion Panels are used to set up connections to the DMP panel. In the Intrusion Panel, select Add New Intrusion Panel and complete the fields noted below:
- Name - Identity the panel being connected.
- Protocol - DMP
- IP Address - The IP of the DMP Panel (see the DMP Panel Configuration Requirements section).
- State - Select Enabled to connect to the panel. Disabled removes the connection.
- Location - Leave as default. Will show accountnumber-0 for the panel, accountnumber-1 for the first area, -2, -3 and so on for subsequent configured areas.
- Account Number - Enter the account number designated in the Communications Path information in the DMP Remote Link (this should be provided by your installer).
- Remote Key - Enter the remote key designated in the Remote Options panel information in the DMP Remote Link (this should be provided by your installer).
- Camera - Select the camera that is pointed at the primary keypad. When multiple keypads are configured, the thumbnail image from this camera will be included with arm/disarm push notifications.
Zones
NOTE: This tab is not visible unless an intrusion panel has been added.
The Zones tab displays a list of available zones configured on the panel. Enable zones to receive alerts from as desired. Camera actions based on macros can be viewed here as well.
Associating a camera to a zone allows image snapshots to be included in configured alerts. Modify the Image Offset to increase the time by the specified number of seconds (from the beginning of the event) that the snapshot will be taken.
The Event Schedule is used to determine when zone events are sent to OWS in an armed or unarmed state. Zone events are events generated by intrusion sensor contacts or motion detectors. This is used in conjunction with the Real-time Status option in the
Advanced tab within the panel. The Event Schedule allows you to send the results of the real-time status of a zone: always, never and on weekends.
Areas
The Areas tab displays a list of available areas configured by the installer. Camera actions based on macros can be viewed here as well.
NOTE: The Areas tab is only visible after an intrusion panel has been added.
Intrusion Panels
Add and view panels in the Intrusion Panels tab. Click on an added panel to enter and edit information.
Sending Events to Panel
With the help of a Macro defined in the NVR setup (Macros) you can send Analytic events from the NVR to the DMP Panel.
To enable:
- Check Enable sending events to panel
- Enter Receiver Port, Shared Key and Recorder ID fields to allow events to send.
The shared key is required in order to send events to the DMP panel. This shared key is labeled as "Passphrase" in the Integrator Path options of the DMP Panel.
Receiver port will be the Incoming TCP Port in the DMP Setup
Recorder ID can be left at 1 by default.
If multiple NVRs were sending events to the panel, you would change this number to give each NVR a unique ID.
Attached Devices
The Attached Devices tab displays a list of available devices configured on the panel. Associating a camera to a sensor will allow image snapshots to be included in configured alerts. Modify the Image Offset to increase the time by the specified number of seconds (from the beginning of the event) that the snapshot will be taken.
