  Multipath-IP Stu Setup Information

The Multipath-IP Stu is an IP (Internet Protocol) based communications system for back to base monitoring of alarm systems. The Multipath-IP Stu requires an Ethernet connection with access to the public internet. Alternatively a dual GPRS Multipath Stu can be installed where no internet connection is available.

Many system administrators have concerns over security and stability when using third party devices on their network, particularly when those devices are required to be exposed to the public Internet. The purpose of this document is to outline security, data usage and network requirements for the Multipath-IP system.

The Multipath-IP Stu communicates with our monitoring centre using fully encrypted (128bit AES) data packets, this includes the transfer of configuration data during the initial configuration. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the current world standard for strong encryption, and is considered by security experts to be computationally secure for many years to come.

Typical alarm data packets are only 60 bytes in length. Typical data usage is less than four Megabytes per month, which in modern computing terms is effectively negligible.
 
  Installation Requirements

Organisation
 
The following information needs to be completed and forwarded to our Installation Department before the installation can be commenced.

Tick if the action has been completed.
