Overview
To set up the security system in a customer premises:
1. Complete a Home Security Survey (HSS) for the customer.
2. Ensure the customer premise has access to the Internet.
3. Activate the TouchScreen (see Installing the Security System on page 5).
The TouchScreen can connect to the managed router/modem either wirelessly or by Ethernet cable. The
TouchScreen communicates with sensors by radio frequency. Optional cameras communicate with the
security network router wirelessly. The TouchScreen maintains communication with the system servers
through the Internet and by Cellular.
The security network router MUST be installed “in front” of all other home networks relative to the
Internet. Connect the customer’s home network to the Internet through the security network router by
Ethernet cable as described on pages 15 and 17. The customer can install a retail router behind the
security network router and access the Internet. The customer can choose to expose their retail router to
the Internet through the DMZ of the security network router as described in the TouchScreen User
Guide.
A MAXIMUM of six IP cameras and 47 ZigBee devices are supported for the system. ZigBee devices
consist of anything that communicates with the TouchScreen over radio frequency, such as
door/window sensors, lighting devices, thermostats, panel interface devices, key pads, and key fobs and
smoke detectors.
