DMP Panel Configuration Requirements

IMPORTANT

  • If the site has a "Fire Keypad" installed. We will be unable to sync the DMP panel to get areas.
  • The workaround is to change the Fire Keypad from a “Fire” device to a "Keypad" device. Sync info will now work and then they can set the Keypad back to "Fire".
  • This change will need to be done by the tech inside Remote Link or inside Dealer Admin
  • This is by design and DMP will not change due to compliance with city/county regulations.
  • When a Fire device is in place. Remote Programming is disabled unless someone enters the passcode on the local keypad.
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:

  1. Enter the IP address of the recorder in the Net IP Address box.
  2. Check all of the checkboxes under Options.
  3. Leave the Net Port at the default, 2001.

Note: XR refers to the Net Port, found in the Remote Link utility under PC Log Reports - Net Options. This is the communication port that is used to communicate with the recorder. 

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:

  1. Select Net as the Connection type.
  2. Enter the Incoming TCP Port (2001 as default).
  3. Enter the IP address of the recorder in the Integrator IP Address box.
  4. Enter the Outbound TCP Port (2001 as default).
  5. Leave Backup Connection as none.
  6. Select all event types.
  7. Leave Check-in Minutes at 0.
  8. 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 1 or 2 section in the Remote Link software connected to the DMP panel:

  1. Enter the IP address of the recorder in the 1st IP Address box.
  2. Check Alarms, Supervisory/Trouble, Opening/Closing, and User and Test Report.
  3. Leave the Net Port at the default, 2001.

DMP Communications.png

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
  • IP Port

DMP Panel Information.png

The Controller Port is different depending on the panel being used:

  • XT refers to the IP Port, under Panel Information – Name. Communications – Method is 1st IP Port.
  • XR refers to the Net Port, under PC Log Reports – Net Options. Remote Options – Integrator Path is Incoming TCP Port and Outbound TCP Port.

NOTE: The Default for all of these is 2001.

Adding an Intrusion Panel

Add and configure an Intrusion Panel in the Intrusion tab under Setup > General Configuration > Intrusion.

DMP Left hand menu.png

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.

DMP Enable Auto-Discovery.png

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

DMP Intrusion Panel.png

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.
  • Camera – When multiple keypads are configured, the thumbnail image from this camera will be included with arm/disarm push notifications.
  • Account Number - Enter the account number designated in the Communications Path information in the DMP Remote Link (this should be provided by your installer).
  • Controller Port – Is used to received the configuration from the panel (by default it is 2001 in the DMP Panels).
  • 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).

Send Events to Panel

When enabled you can send events to the DMP Panel using Macros that are configured on the recorder.

  • Receiver Port - This will be the port that the DMP panel will receive events on.
  • Shared Key - This can be the same as the Remote Key. Valid characters include A-Z 0-9 .*#-
  • Recorder ID - This is the unique identifier that can be used to ensure you are connecting to the correct recorder.
Sensors

Once a panel has been added, macros and cameras associated with the panel can be viewed in Setup > General Configuration > Intrusion.

NOTE: This tab is not visible unless an intrusion panel has been added.

Server Setup Intrusion Sensors.png

Enable – Enable or disable a sensor.

Number – Number value from the sensor input record.

Address – Sensor number associated with the recorder.

Sensor Name – Name of the sensor associated with the recorder.

Origin – Origin of the sensor being used by the recorder (typically internal to the recorder).

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.
