PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
Ether-ComTM
Description
The Ether-ComTM Single Port Router allows a DMP 1912XR, XR200 or XR200-485 Command ProcessorTM panel to
communicate to a DMP SCS-1 Receiver using an existing Ethernet network. The router operates as an interface
between the panel and the network.
What’s needed
Additional equipment needed to program the Ether-ComTM:
386 or better laptop or PC
WindowsTM 95 or 3.1 with a communication software package such as HyperterminalTM or TerminalTM
DMP Model 396 programming cable
10BaseT Ethernet cable
Configuration for use with a DMP 462N or 862N
The following configuration is designed for applications where the Ether-ComTM server is used as the interface
between the DMP 462N or 862N Network Interface Card on a 1912XR/XR200/XR200-485 panel and an ethernet
network.
1912XR/862N orXR200/462N
Configure the communication software package on your laptop or PC for 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity 1 stop bit and
no flow control. Connect the DMP Model 396 programming cable to the COM port on your laptop or PC that you
configured in your communication software. Connect the other end of the Model 396 programming cable to the
Ether-ComTM connector supplied with the unit.
DO NOT CONNECT the Ether-ComTM to an Ethernet network at this point. Apply power to the unit. If the unit
passes its power-up diagnostics the following message should be displayed:

5. CHANGE FLOW CONTROL NONE
6. CHANGE DEDICATED TCP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2001U (where xxx... is the IP address of the Ether-ComTM
connected to the SCS-1 Receiver or PC running Remote Access+TM).
7. CHANGE AUTOSTART ENABLED
8. SHOW SERVER - Check and confirm the unit’s IP address, Subnet Mask and the Gateway address.
10. SHOW PORT - Check and confirm the speed, flow control, dedicated service, and autostart options are
set correctly. (The unit is now ready to be connected to the 462N/862N with the cable provided with the
ETHER-COM.)
11. LOGOUT
Important Note
Once the ETHER-COM has been configured in this manner, no local access is allowed through the serial port
while the unit is connected to the network. To reconfigure the Ether-Com you must remove power from the unit,
disconnect it from the network, and then reapply power. Press the Enter key within 10 seconds to enter the
configuration mode. Enter the command FLUSH NVR to return the unit to its factory defaults. This erases all
options including the IP address.
SCS-1 Receiver
The unit that connects to the SCS-1 Receiver is configured in the same manner with the exception of Dedicated
Service.
The CHANGE DEDICATED option will not include any IP address, CHANGE DEDICATED TCP :2001U. This is
necessary because the unit connected to the receiver will need to communicate with many different IP addresses.
Configuration for use with Remote Access+™ on a PC
This configuration is for applications where the Ether-Com server is used as the ethernet network interface for an
IBM compatible PC on which is installed the DMP Remote Access™ software. The Remote Access program is
used as a monitoring automation system and should be configured for HST Monitoring to allow it to process
incoming alarm and system information from DMP panels installed on the same network.
HST Monitoring
The unit that connects to your PC running Remtoe Access+TM is configured in the same manner with the exception
of Dedicated Service.
The CHANGE DEDICATED option will not include any IP address, CHANGE DEDICATED TCP :2001U. This is
necessary because the unit connected to the receiver will need to communicate with many different IP addresses.
