IP Communication in Alarm SyS

The new 1.40 version of Alarm SyS can receive Contact ID events from IP/GPRS communicators using the
ENIGMA II TCP/UDP protocol. The settings for the IP protocol reception can be modified in the
„\PROGRAMS\ip_prot.ini” fájl, as follows.

To enable IP support, the Enable variable in the [ENIGMA] section must be set to 1, and an
„ENIGMA II” digital receiver must be selected in the ALARM Setup program to support the
necessary protocols for the reception.

[ENIGMA]
Enable=1

After enabling IP support, the connection status, and the number of open TCP connections can
be viewed in the system information menu of ALARM SyS. The receive port is 9999 by default.
For TCP connections, the port remains open for a limited time only, the actual timeout of the
port can be set with the TcpSocketTimeMin parameter (in minutes).

If required, AES-128 encryption can be used. For this the same encryption key should be set
for both the receiver and the communicator, e.g.:

AES.Key=1234567890ABCDEF

,which also can be defined as hex:

AES.Key=0x31323334353637383930414243444546

The key can be up to 16 characters long (128 bits), in case of less characters are given, the
remaining places are padded with 0x00 characters.

It is also possible to filter messages according to message serial (SER) or manufacturer ID

(MID). In case raw IP logging is required for debugging communication, set the DebugEnable
parameter to 1 in the [ENIGMA] section. Then a .txt log file will be created for each day in the
„\ALARMSYS.V1\DATA\IPDEBUG\” directory, where the IP communication is logged.

Default settings of „\ALARMSYS.V1\PROGRAMS\ip_prot.ini”
