HoneywellGalaxy Driver - The HoneywellGalaxyEthernetNetwork
Overview
A HoneywellGalaxyEthernetNetwork represents a device connected via ethernet.
You can add as many HoneywellGalaxyEthernetNetworks to a station as required - the only limit
to this is the number of devices in your license file.
Adding a HoneywellGalaxyEthernetNetwork to a station
To add a HoneywellGalaxyEthernetNetwork work perform the following steps:
- Open the station and expand the Config tree.
- Double click on the the Drivers node.
- In the Driver Manager window click the New button.
- Select HoneywellGalaxyEthernetNetwork from the drop down list and
click Ok.

- Enter a name for the network and click Ok.

Configuring a HoneywellGalaxyEthernetNetwork
Once a HoneywellGalaxyEthernetNetwork has been added to the station,
you need to select the TCP/IP address to be used and optionally change the ports used
for SIA communication if these have been set to none standard values.
- Locate the HoneywellGalaxyEthernetNetwork in the device
manager.
- Right click on the HoneywellGalaxyEthernetNetwork and
select Views->Property Sheet from the context menu.
- Expand the Communicator tree.
- Expand the TCP IP Comm tree.
- Expand the Destination Address tree.
- Enter the TCP/IP address into the IP Address field. For
instance 192.168.250.250.
- Leave the IP Port field set to 10005
unless the device is using a different port.
- Leave the SIA Event Port field set to 10002
unless the device is using a different port.
- Click on the Save button.

From version 1.0.8.1 under the Ethernet network's Communicator, a new addition has been added called Sia Event Receiver.

This can be used to quickly validate the Alarm Reporting setup based on the following conditions:
-
Ready: If true the driver has successfully allocated the relevant port on the station as assigned to the Sia Event Port. If false, an alternative
number may be required to be configured such as 10003. The setting in the panel for the Alarm Reporting destinations port number should
match, any updated port number.
-
Last Connection Accept Time: This will be updated to the last time the panel successfully connected to the driver. An engineer logging out and in,
usually toggles alarms to be sent. Once this has a valid time in, it shows that the panel is setup correctly, and no
firewall / routing issues are blocking the alarm reporting to the panel. After modifying the SIA Event Port, ensure that
alarms are still received, by generating one by logging an engineer in and out of the panel.
Should the Alarm Reporting not be setup correctly COMM4 errors will appear on the panels, when they fail to notify the driver of Alarms.
Basic troubleshooting guidance regarding COMM4 errors can be found here.
