Siemens Telnet Configuration

For Legacy Systems

• Minimum of three CopperTree devices per BLN
• Devices will need to be directly installed to the panels via a serial cable
• Devices still need an outbound internet connection
• An additional device installed for load balancing for every 100 TECs beyond 150
• The panels must be telnet enabled
• User account setup on all panels with same privileges as “low” account
• The baud rate for the MMI port should be set to 9600 or higher (115200 is preferred)

  • The baud rate for the MMI port should not be lower than the bus’ baud rate

For Siemens Apogee IP Enabled Systems

• One CopperTree device per 18 FLN panels is recommended
• Please provide CopperTree with the following:

  • The number of BLNs (building level networks)
  • BLN subnet(s)

• Installation location identification is required (panel name/physical location)
• User account should be set up on all panels with the same privileges as “low” account
• The panels must be telnet enabled
