Restarting Satel Integra Control Panel or ETHM-1 Module Without Power Cycling

Best answers

How can I restart a Satel Integra alarm panel or ETHM-1 module from the keypad without cutting mains power?

You can do it from the keypad/service menu: one reply says to enter service mode and go to Structure → Hardware → Keypads → Settings ETHM-1 Plus / ETHM-1, then set Use DHCP to NO and enter the correct IP address and subnet mask, and the module’s current IP can also be read in TESTS → IP/MAC/IMEI/ID [#18002288] If the module is left on DHCP, it should renew its address automatically after the lease time expires, so a reboot may not be necessary [#18001996] Another reply says that in service mode there is a RESTARTS menu with options like restarting passwords, everything, or settings [#20562489]

    Hello,
    I will be grateful for a hint as to which function of the keypad should be selected in order to restart the control panel - exactly as it occurs after a temporary power outage at home.
    I am carrying out work related to the modernization of the LAN network at home and my DHCP server (in my case it is UniFi Security Gateway) gave the ETHM-1 module the wrong IP address that I need. I have already changed the IP on the DHCP server to the correct one (permanent), but I suspect that ETHM-1 will accept it only after a restart. I don`t want to turn off the fuses at home, because it will reset everything: the ADSL modem/router, Security Gateway with a DHCP server, several Access Points, Domoticz and many others, and no one knows for sure in what reality all this will happen, hence the ability to reset the control panel itself (or the ETHM-1 module) would be very valuable.
    I will only add that I have access only from a traditional keypad (not the one with a touch display). I don`t have access via PC.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Regards

    Irek

    It`s not simpler to check the IP address of the module using a keypad, because it is by no means certain that the IP address is the problem. The second thing is to disconnect the control panel from the switch for a moment, when reconnecting it it should get the correct address (if ethm is not set to static, this may also be the case).

    What is your dhcp lease time set? After this time, ETH-1M will renew its address.

    Or maybe try to disconnect the mains power supply (fuse on the transformer) and disconnect the battery? Then you don`t need a manipulator.
    I know it`s a very complicated procedure, but it will work. I`m tempted to write something about the intelligence of people writing on this forum, but why should I create another account?


    Dear Wojtek,

    If I had access to the battery that supplies power to the alarm control panel, I would not ask for help. It so happens that in my case it is located in one of two boxes together with the alarm control panel and they are sealed by the installer. Opening them will void the warranty for the entire system. The battery is large because it also supports the 24 eight-relay Satel modules that control my house, so waiting for it to run down is also out of the question. Moreover, before the battery discharges, a notification is sent to the security agency, which will unnecessarily enter my house.
    I respect people who think they know everything.
    Thank you for your participation in this discussion.

    Hello,

    I was thinking about disconnecting ETHM from the switch. The problem is that I have about 60 ETH ports and the electrician hasn`t marked the wires yet. It`s a bit difficult to check, because the cables go in conduits under the plaster and come out in the rack. I know the IP address of the ETHM-1 module, but the problem is that I have a lot of different sensors (homemade) at home and in the neighborhood for which I wrote the software myself. Unfortunately, when writing it, I permanently entered the then IP address of the module - at that time I did not plan to modernize the LAN and now I would have to flash all the electronics from scratch (with the new IP address of the module), and this would probably take a few days, so I thought that it would be possible to console, reset the ETHM module (alarm control panels are not something I know well, but I have access to the service code and there are several reset items there - but I don`t want to reset the control panel to factory settings by mistake).
    Regards

    It`s all a bit strange. The installer sealed the control panel, but you have a service code that you have already used, so it is as if you had broken the seal. Protection that will respond to a discharged battery but will ignore the restart of the control panel, a problem with restarting 2 switches because everything in the house may stop working.

    Set yourself a static address on ethm since you have a manipulator and access to the service code.

    Change the module`s IP address at once.
    You can read the IP address assigned to the module in the keypad using the IP/MAC/IMEI/ID user function available in the TESTS submenu. A description of how to use the function can be found in the alarm control panel user manual.
    : :
    [service password] Structure Hardware Keypads Settings
    ETHM-1 Plus / ETHM-1
    Use DHCP [NO]
    IP address [send appropriate]
    Subnet mask
    * ** until the end of the service
    1-save

    You`re right, and I didn`t think about it - after restarting the control panel, security will also arrive.
    I solved the problem: I suspended monitoring of the facility for an hour and turned off the fuses for a few seconds. The DHCP server gave the ETHM module the correct IP address and everything went up without a problem.
    As for the service code, I know it by accident: I saw the alarm man while he was working and he was not the same guy who sealed the boxes with the control unit. I know that logs remain after each entry into service mode, so I clear them. You can probably check it in other places that I don`t know about, but no one will check them until I screw something up and have to call the service.
    You wrote that you don`t see a problem with restarting two switches, and you`re right here too: the switches are not a problem. The problem is DHCP servers - I have several of them (for different subnets). If they get up in the wrong order, they cross the addresses incorrectly (from different pools), but I also solved that - I ran them sequentially.
    Thank you for your help.

    There is no need for the control panel to have its own battery, the protection transmitter probably also has its own battery, and the protection certainly does not react to a temporary power outage.

    Or something will break and you won`t have a warranty because the installer will easily check that you messed around where you shouldn`t.

    Then you have something incorrectly set up or the wrong hardware selected, after a restart everything should be up and running normally, regardless of what happens first.

    I don`t know what place your friend is talking about, but Integra does not allow you to clear the event memory on demand.

    I understand that this is about sending it back to Satel and begging them to build a real "factory". Because when it comes to "Restart everything", I invite you to conduct an experiment. Unless something changed a week ago after 15 years :)

    With all due respect, Integra is a flagship and if the monitoring company has connected it correctly, they can still see that someone enters the service mode, even such a trivial event as setting the time is also sent to the monitoring company.
    I am an installer and I deal with it every day.

    As for resetting the control unit...

    You enter the service mode and there you have RESTARTS
    and in it: restart passwords/everything/settings etc....

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around restarting the Satel Integra control panel or the ETHM-1 module without power cycling, particularly in the context of a DHCP server assigning an incorrect IP address. Users suggest various methods, including checking the IP address via the keypad, temporarily disconnecting the control panel from the network switch, and using the service mode to perform a restart. The original poster expresses concerns about voiding warranties and the complexity of accessing the sealed control panel and battery. Ultimately, the issue was resolved by temporarily turning off the fuses, allowing the DHCP server to assign the correct IP address to the ETHM-1 module.

FAQ

TL;DR: Use the Satel keypad’s Service > Restarts to reboot; at least 3 restart options exist. "You enter the service mode and there you have RESTARTS." This avoids whole-house power cuts when ETHM-1 needs a fresh IP. [Elektroda, weryfany, post #20562489]

Why it matters: For Satel Integra/ETHM-1 owners who need a safe restart or IP refresh without disrupting the rest of the network.

Quick Facts

How do I restart a Satel Integra control panel from the keypad?

Yes. Enter Service mode, then use the Restarts function. You will see options like restarting passwords, settings, or everything. “You enter the service mode and there you have RESTARTS.” How-To: 1. Enter your service code. 2. Go to Service > Restarts. 3. Pick the restart type and confirm. This avoids full power-cycling and keeps other systems online. [Elektroda, weryfany, post #20562489]

Can I restart only the ETHM-1 module without killing power to the whole house?

You can force a fresh DHCP request by unplugging ETHM-1 from the switch briefly. Reconnect it to obtain the correct address if DHCP is enabled. If ETHM-1 uses a static IP, unplugging will not change its address. This avoids cutting mains power to the panel. [Elektroda, kood, post #18001988]

Where do I check the ETHM-1 IP and MAC from the keypad?

On the keypad, open the Tests menu and select the IP/MAC/IMEI/ID user function. It displays the module’s current IP and MAC. This helps confirm whether DHCP or static settings match your network plan. [Elektroda, e-sparks, post #18002288]

How do I set a static IP for ETHM-1 using the keypad?

Enter Service mode, then follow the path: Structure > Hardware > Keypads > Settings > ETHM-1/ETHM-1 Plus. Set Use DHCP to NO and input IP, mask, and gateway. Save before exiting Service mode. This pins a stable address and stops DHCP surprises. [Elektroda, e-sparks, post #18002288]

Will entering Service mode alert my monitoring company?

Yes. If monitoring is connected correctly, service entries are visible to the monitoring station. “Even such a trivial event as setting the time is also sent.” Plan maintenance windows accordingly to avoid unnecessary callouts. [Elektroda, weryfany, post #20562489]

Can I clear Integra event logs to hide service entries?

No. Integra does not allow clearing the event memory on demand. Service entries remain in the log for accountability. Keep this in mind when scheduling work or involving your installer. [Elektroda, dariusz.bembenek, post #18003720]

Will a factory reset wipe the event memory?

Event memory clearing is enabled after a factory reset. This is a destructive action, so reserve it for last-resort cases and with installer approval. [Elektroda, e-sparks, post #18003931]

I changed the DHCP reservation. When will ETHM-1 pick it up?

After the DHCP lease expires. ETHM-1 renews its address at lease renewal, so it adopts the new reservation then. Adjust the lease time on your DHCP server if you need faster changes. [Elektroda, dktr, post #18001996]

What’s a safe workaround if I must power-cycle to refresh the IP?

Suspend monitoring for a defined window, then briefly cut power. One user paused monitoring for 1 hour, power-cycled for seconds, and the DHCP server assigned the correct IP. Everything recovered cleanly afterward. [Elektroda, Irek_z123, post #18002833]

Does a brief mains outage trigger a dispatch from monitoring?

Typically no. The transmitter has its own battery, and protection does not react to a temporary outage. Still, coordinate with your monitoring provider before planned work. [Elektroda, kood, post #18002990]

What if ETHM-1 is on a static IP—will DHCP changes help?

No. If ETHM-1 uses a static IP, DHCP changes or cable re-plugs will not alter its address. Switch to DHCP or update the static IP from the keypad to match your plan. [Elektroda, kood, post #18001988]

Who should open sealed alarm enclosures to disconnect power?

Call your installer. They will open the sealed boxes and handle power safely without voiding your warranty seals. This also keeps your monitoring records straightforward. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #18002258]

Could tinkering void my warranty or be detected later?

Yes. Installers can verify where changes occurred, and unauthorized service entries may void warranty. Work with your installer to avoid disputes during future repairs. [Elektroda, kood, post #18002990]

How do I avoid DHCP conflicts if I run multiple subnets/servers?

Start services in a defined order to prevent cross-assignment from different pools. One user fixed conflicts by bringing DHCP servers up sequentially after maintenance. Align reservations to the correct scopes. [Elektroda, Irek_z123, post #18002833]
