STEP 3 – Program the Communicator 

 

The HWF2-COM requires an AlarmNet account.  For new installations, please obtain the account information from the 

central station prior to programming. 

You can program the communicator by one of the following methods: 

  Using the AlarmNet 360 website.   

  Using the 7720P Programming Tool. 

  Using the control panel's programming mode (for panels that support this option) to access the communicator's pro-

gramming.  

NOTE:

 The prompts in this document reflect use of the 7720P Programming Tool. 

Using the AlarmNet 360 Website 

To program the communicator via the website (if you are already signed up for this service), go to:  

 www.alamnet360.com 
Please have the following information available when programming the communicator: 

  Primary City ID (two-digit number), obtained from your monitoring station. 

  Primary Central Station ID (two-digit number), obtained from your monitoring station. 

  Primary Subscriber ID (four-digit number), obtained from your monitoring station. 

  Communicator’s MAC ID and MAC CRC number (located on the box and inside the communicator).  

After programming is complete, the communicator must be registered.  Refer to the 

Register the Module

 topic. 

When using the 7720P Programming tool, the values given below are for most installations.  Press the
