GO!BRIDGE IP COMMUNICATOR
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The Go!Bridge IP Communicator™ (2GIG‐BRDG1‐900) provides Internet
connectivity between the monitoring service’s Central Station and the
Go!Control® Panel, when the panel is used as a household burglar alarm
system.
It supports automatic firmware updates, provides interactive security
services, and increases supervision using signal‐forwarding to the Central
Station. For wireless communication with the Control Panel, the 900MHz
Transceiver Module (2GIG‐XCVR) must be installed in the panel. For
Internet access, the Go!Bridge must be connected to the local network
router using an Ethernet cable (not provided).
