IT Statement

The Telemetry Communications Device (TCD) installed within the alarm control panel uses outbound TCP/IP connections only, via the landline IP (Ethernet) and the GPRS IP networks.

The TCD does not accept inbound connections and does not require any inbound IP ports to be opened on a customer firewall/router. GPRS connectivity is established via a private network connection (APN), and no Internet connectivity is possible via GPRS in the TCD. No IP connectivity exists between the GPRS IP and landline IP networks in the TCD and no IP bridging is permitted between the networks in the TCD. The TCD also contains and internal firewall to isolate the TCD from any unauthorised connections or IP traffic.
