One question about DMP, if the central station or the customer switches ISP
providers does this require reprogramming the internet module like
Radionics?
It depends. If your gateway changes, you will have to reprogram any IP
address. If a customer switches ISP's, and was using DHCP, the unit would
not need to be re-programmed. If the customer was using an "static" IP, and
they all changed, then yes. If a customer changes CS, obviously a new
address would be required. ALL of which can be done remotely, including any
Firmware changes, port assignments, IP, etc. The control panels can be
"trapped" and all programming parameters can be changed at any time, across
the Internet. DMP does have a browser based interface that will do
essentially the same as the Symphony. I do like the interface Ademco has for
Web based control. User friendly, most dealer friendly, it comes both ways
with DMP. I have "instant" access to ALL levels of programming with DMP,
along with user functions, including locking/unlocking doors (16), throwing
relays, (upto 200), including X-10, and Video Verification through a
"hyperlink" in my CS automation software. Hey what's the cost on that
Symphony Interface anyway? How is it to program?
