New DMP Persistent Connection Method - No Inbound Ports & Fast Command Processing!
The DMP XR & XF Series control panels may now be programmed with a persistent connection option. Once programmed, the control panel makes an outbound connection to the Connect ONE cloud and the connection is held open.

It is the best of all worlds, no open ports and fast command processing! Please refer to the Configuration tab for the Device on the Connect ONE Dealer ...
