ABOUT PERMACONN

• Permaconn was established in 1999.

• Permaconn specialises in the design, development,

production and management of GPRS hardware &

networks.

• Permaconn provide a range of back to base

communication equipment that utilise GPRS networks.

• Permaconn has established networks in Papua New

Guinea, New Zealand, South Africa, Philippines and USA.

• The name Permaconn is an abbreviation for “Permanent

Connection”


WHAT IS GPRS?

General Packet Radio Service.

• GPRS is a packet based radio service that enables

“Always ON” connection and reporting. GPRS services

operate within the GSM networks.

• GPRS services are billed on the amount of data that is

sent and received, not individual calls like the GSM

network.

• GPRS networks sole purpose is to handle data

transmissions.


PERMACONN?

What is a Permaconn outstation?

• A Permaconn outstation is the unit that interfaces to the

alarm panel dialler. Alarm events are now sent to the

Central Station via the GPRS data network. If required

the outstation is able to communicate via IP using

GPRS for redundancy.


TYPICAL GPRS NETWORK


PERMACONN GPRS / IP NETWORK


True Central Station Redundancy - unique to Permaconn!

Dedicated, duplicated and managed Private IP Network.

– Permaconn uses a VPN within the GPRS networks.– No GPRS connections whatsoever to the public web / internet.

There are two servers, each capable of running the whole system.

– The Servers have duplicated hardware at each site.– Each server is at a different secure location, providing total

redundancy.– Switching between the two servers is totally transparent and automatic.– The server routes the packets from the Outstation to the Central Station Receiver unit.

PERMACONN GPRS NETWORK FEATURES


PERMACONN OUTSTATION FEATURES

Supplied in plastic enclosure with complete install kit.Mounts next to alarm panel with space for dedicated back up battery.

‘Plug & Play’ solution, out of the box – on the wall – submit activation form to Permaconn – test messages received. Job done within 30 mins.

High quality Telco approved Siemens GSM module 95% of installations only require the standard antenna.

Multipath Communication, Trusted and Proven monitoring solution. Four (4) comms paths, you can be assured the alarm event is delivered!

Low current draw <100mA. Can be powered directly from the alarm panel.


• Fixed transmission (data) costs.

• Multiple communication paths.

• GPRS devices are ‘ALWAYS ON’ much like your broadband

connection within your home.

• Radio devices only ‘communicate’ when an alarm event occurs & have

no ability to ‘poll’ to ensure the connection is active.

• Radio only sends a one way message you can not be sure the message was delivered.

PERMACONN V’S RADIO


• GPRS works wherever there is MTN or Vodacom coverage.

• Permaconn units can be installed in basements without using high

gain antennas.

• Messages can be sent from anywhere in South Africa.

• GPRS messages are delivered win 100 milliseconds.

• GPRS devices are ‘ALWAYS ON’ much like your broadband

connection within your home.

PERMACONN V’S RADIO

IP-62 ETHERNET MODULE

• Compatible with PM1025 outstations.

• Instant – ‘Always On’ IP connection with GPRS active &

polling.

• Dual active paths (IP & GPRS) at all times to the Central

Station.

• LAN / WAN security assured as the device accepts no in

bound connections.

• Supports DHCP installations.

• Data transmissions encrypted to AES128.

• IP settings programmable via GPRS or locally using a

laptop.

• Simply plugs into the GPRS outstation.


DI-200 INTERFACE

• Contact ID dialler interface for any CID

compatible panel

• Designed to be used in conjunction

with PM1025

• Monitors & reports PSTN failure

• Monitors & reports dialler lead interface fail.

• Automatic switching between PSTN

& GPRS

• Jumper selection to enable primary

GPRS or primary PSTN

communication


DI-200 INTERFACE


DI-200 INTERFACE LED’s & JUMPERS

• Jumper: GPRS or PSTN primary

jumper position

• Panel: Indicates status of panel

dialler lead connection.

• PSTN: Indicates PSTN line voltage.

• Heart Beat: Processor operational

• Status: GPRS or PSTN primary.


IP CSRU ‘VIRTUAL RECEIVER’

• The IP CSRU Virtual Receiver’ software package resides at the

Monitoring Station and is the primary receiving path.

• Additional IP CSRU dynamic receiver status monitoring application.

• TCP/IP or serial connection.

• Can receive signals from 10,000 outstations.

• IP CSRU receives both Vodafone, MTN and IP signals from the

Permaconn outstations.


CENTRAL STATION RECEIVER UNIT

• The CSRU resides at the Monitoring Station.

• Interfaces to all automation packages including SIMS and ADSW

• Can operate as a ‘secondary’ receiver path for Permaconn signals.

• Dual Path GPRS redundancy.

• Emulates Ademco 685 Receiver.

• Can receive signals from 3000 outstations.

• No additional PCs or software required.


CENTRAL STATION MANAGEMENT UNIT

•The CSMU resides at the Monitoring Station or at the Bureau.

•Software is normally installed on Download Computer.

•Enables the retrieval of status information and control of the outputs.


DISASTER RECOVERY CENTRE (DRC)

• The DRC application enables the operator to change the Central

Station ‘landing point’ of all Permaconn outstations instantly.

• Software is normally installed a separate workstation or mobile device.
