1. Your public IP address should receive signals on the port you choose in Communication programming. Then, those signals should route into your network to the correct SCS-1R Line Card or SCS-VR Group. The same ports should be open outbound no TCP to respond to Network and ALL UDP should be open OUTBOUND to acknowledge cellular signals due to the unique nature cellular uses to communicate.
2. Your SCS-1R or SCS-VR receiver will need an automation software to allow your Monitoring Center operator to know what signal came in, which system, and who to contact. Please direct automation questions to your automation company.
