Texecom IP Panels

Patriot can receive connections from Texecom IP Panels to receive signals directly over TCP/IP.

Prerequisites​

  • Texecom IP module must be added to your Patriot license.
  • Secure LAN with internet access and correctly configured firewall.

Panel configuration​

The Texecom panel must be configured to send signals to the IP address of the Patriot server. If your server is behind a firewall or router, port forwarding may be required. Make sure that the port number matches the setting in the Patriot task. IP Polling can be enabled in the panel if this is required.

Patriot Task Setup​

Under System > Tasks > Task Settings, select the insert (+) button to add a new task. Select Texecom from the drop-down, and click next.

First set the general task information: Description, Computer, and Port ID to suit your system layout. See general task settings for more information. The Local IP Port No should be set to a free TCP port on the computer hosting the Texecom task (in most configurations this will be your main Patriot server). Depending on your network setup, port forwarding may need to be configured with your network router to correctly forward signals to the Patriot task.

Once the task is set up correctly and saved, Patriot will automatically begin listening for signals from Texecom panels. This can be checked from the task diagnostics screen.

Patriot Client Setup​

Clients for this task need to be set up with Contact ID Event Type Template (CID1-01).

If you wish to enable IP Polling on a particular panel, select the Tests tab on the corresponding Patriot account. Please refer to the Client Tests Tab documentation for further information.
