Overview
AlarmNet IP communicator — broadband reporting path (7847i, 7846i, dual-path setups) for Total Connect 2.0 and central station.
Without reliable cellular reporting, remote arm/disarm and central station signals stop when phone lines or broadband fail. Match the exact module SKU to your panel model and dealer platform before truck roll.

FAQs
Which AlarmNet module fits my panel?
LTE-X/C/V/A and LyricLTE modules are not interchangeable — match SKU to panel and dealer platform (Total Connect 2.0, ADC, SecureNet, Telus).
Do I need an external antenna?
If installer cell RSSI is below spec in the panel location, **panel-approved external antenna kits move the antenna to attic or exterior wall per guide.

How do I test after installation?
Use panel walk test, zone status, and (if monitored) central station test per dealer procedure.
Can I mix 5800 and SiX sensors?
SiX sensors require ProSeries or Lyric; 5800 needs a 5800 receiver transceiver hardware — they do not enroll on the standard 345 MHz receiver alone.
