 Hey guys, Drew with GeoArm and I am back to talk to you about wiring the alarm.com communicator for your networks, GE Interlogix networks in X6, 6V2, 8V2, you know, the network series. So what we're going to be discussing here is just getting this communicator actually wired in. Super easy to do. It's only going to be three wires that you're going to be wiring back to the panel itself. It's going to be a wire for positive power, a wire for negative power, and a wire for data. And I'll also be showing you how to install the internet dongle, which if you do decide that you want to install this, you will need an ethernet connection. It will not do Wi-Fi. It's going to need this connection. So what we're going to do first here is we're going to go ahead and make sure that our security system is powered down. As you can see, mine is definitely powered down. It's not wired up for anything. But in your case, you would unplug the backup battery and you would also unplug the power supply. Once that's completed, then you should be ready to go ahead and get this thing installed. Now, the three terminals that we're going to be working with are going to be AUX plus, or I'm sorry, COM, POS, and DATA, which are all three in a row, literally next to plus, bell, and minus. So you'll see POS, COM, and DATA. There's probably going to be other wires going into there. That's okay. What we'll do is we'll wire the communicator after we've wired it to the panel. So we'll just get this thing wired to the panel first. Make sure your panel's powered down once again. So we're going to take our red wire here, and our red wire is going to be going to POS because it is going to represent the positive power. Now, I'm not feeding this in through the back or through any punch outs on this panel. You guys are probably going to have to do that on your end. But that's pretty easy to do as well. Obviously, you just go through one of the holes in the back or the top. Now we're going to take our black wire, and our black wire is going to be going to COM. By the way, you are going to need a strip of 18 to 22 gauge for conductor wire, and you'll need to remove one of the strands inside, one of the conductors, because you're only going to need three. So in my case, I've cut the yellow one off, and I only got the green one remaining. So now it's red to POS, black to COM, and the green wire here, which is going to represent data, and we're going to get that into data, and then get that tightened down. Okay. All right, now we'll go to the communicator, which I've already pre-wired, so this will just be me more so just showing you the connections. To open this thing, it's pretty easy actually. You just squeeze this little different piece of plastic down here. It's kind of perforated. It's got ridges on it. Just press that down, and then you pull it away from the back, like so. Super easy to do. So we're going to go ahead and put that cover to the side here. Now, when we get in here, you're going to see that the wiring terminals are right here. There's three of them. They're going to be labeled POS, COM, and DATA. So as I said, we took the red wire. We wired that to POS and panel, so it's wired to POS inside of the communicator. Now, the black wire is wired to COM, which is wired to COM in the panel as well. And then finally, the green wire is wired to DATA, so DATA to DATA. So our connections are made between the panel and the communicator. Also, we'll talk about the Ethernet dongle. By the way, if you are not connecting to Ethernet dongle, at this point, you're ready to put the cover back on. You're ready to give us a call with the IMEI number, which is located right underneath where the antennas plug in here. Also, it'll be on the documentation of the box that it comes in. So if you do not want to install the Ethernet dongle, at this point, you're ready to rock. Just put the cover back on and give us a call. For those of you that want to install the Ethernet dongle, I'll continue here. So it's going to literally slide into this little spot right here, and it's actually labeled Ethernet as well. So we're going to go ahead and get that in there. Make sure I have it put in correctly here. Okay, it's a little difficult to get it in. You're going to have to kind of use your nails or something to squeeze it in. But once it goes in, then you are ready to rock. So, like so, it's connected to its port now. And this thing is actually ready for internet and cellular communication activation.
