For All Installations
A UPS should be in place at the mounting location of the LNI 2000. If
this mounting location is beside the alarm panel, the LNI 2000 may be
run off the alarm panel power and UPS. (See Step Three: Connect to
Power for more information.)
An additional UPS should be in place to protect the customer’s LAN;
the modem, the router and the LNI 2000 (if installed near the router.)
It is the customer’s responsibility to protect any computers and other
hardware not directly related to the alarm system with a UPS.
The LNI Pre-Installation Site Survey should have determined whether or not one
or more UPS were required and when they would be installed; either prior to or
during the Installation Visit.
If this information is missing and there is no UPS(s) in place,
the installation
should not be considered complete.
A return trip to install a UPS(s) may be
necessary.
There is no router
The alarm system’s Internet connection must be made through a combined
modem/router or router via the LNI 2000.
Installation cannot be completed without a high-speed modem/router or a router.
The LNI Pre-Installation Site Survey should have determined whether or not a
router was required and when the router would be installed; either prior to or
during the Installation Visit.
LoBenn Inc. recommends that the installation of a router and creation of a home
network be completed before the Installation Visit. This will ensure that the
network is working reliably and consistently.
There are no ports available on the router
As stated in the previous section, the alarm system communicates with the
monitoring center through the Internet. This Internet connection is made through
a combined modem/router or router via the LNI 2000.
If there are no ports available on the customer’s modem/router or router, then an
additional switch must be installed to provide additional ports.
Installation cannot be completed without an available port.
