WDT Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I'm thinking of using this for my own place really. I can use IFTTT to make an iphone push notification when an email is sent, (and blue strobe philips hue lamps but that may be a bit too qwerky!) never used montex either unfortunately, I would need a server/PC running all the time for an email to be sent? Starting to wonder if gsm module would be better option, but that'd mean paying for a static IP sim card when I'll be paying for 152mb broadband already! 2400 sms seems expensive over landline, especially when some one leaves M-Maintenance on while servicing.... Lol I have an old pc setup with win XP and montex/texbase on it with a ups power supply I rent an area down a local farm about 2 miles from my house and this has a premier 48 panel with a gsm module setup and a fixed IP sim card, All events come though to the pc and then intruder ones email me the rest are just set to let me know whats gone on in the day.

secureiam Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Hi Adrian, originally the com-ip with the app didn't work on earlier panels without it programmed as not used and the settings of the ip module changed. This wouldnt allow you to program the the arc to send the messages out over ip and use the app? Or has this been addressed with App using Wintex protocol now rather than Simple protocol?

No still the same protocol as far as I am aware, pretty sure its works with any panel that natively supports the ComIP which i think was version 7, it may have been earlier Quote amealing@texe.com Head of Industry Affairs Visit Our Website Texecom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breff Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 As I said earlier, my panel is 7.6, the app works, montex works, wintex works all over IP. There is even a com2400 on it sending sms as well incase broadband goes down (seperate btw, I have cable) Quote The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

secureiam Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Hi Breff, so how is the com-ip configured on the panel as originally when the app was first introduced the com-ip was not used so wouldnt have been able to send the signals out over ip aswell as being connected to the app? may be had my head in the sand for way too long? (over a year since I even looked at the App) I have a 9.02 panel and for the app to work the com port for the com-ip was not used and and the mode of the com-ip module had to be changed as it crashed out. My understanding is wont need montex texbase to use with the new app, just be able to send directly to the app, my 9.02 panel works with the app with the limitations outlined and also with sending coms via ip, but not both.

secureiam Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Hi emailed Mark, and he confirms that the new app should allow the panels to programmed as com-ip which will mean you can send the the signals aswell. Cool be great to see al this in the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyatthaplo Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Old post but trying to get montex working and having a bit of trouble. COM IP is on com port 1 so dont have an option for baud rate. using arc tel no 1 as the IP address i am at. Do i need to open the port 10001 on the site i (and montex) is on?

reidy Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 You need to make sure the ComIP has outbound access to the receiver and your Montex receiver has inbound access on port 10001, make sure coms is started in setup on Montex In Program Digi your Primary No. should be the receiver IP address in this format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/10001 Quote Hey Ho, Lets Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatthaplo Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 After some more digging i reaalised no gateway was put into the comip so I need to do that and also i am struggling to get the port 10001 open on my network here so will have a chat with IT on Monday hopefully can get it sorted as would love to get these working.
