# 2.1. Connect via USB

NOTE: before starting the configuration of the device it is necessary to press the button CONNECT or READ SETTINGS. If this is not done your parameters may be lost and it might be necessary to reset factory default settings. NOTE: to make your changes come into effect in the device you must press the button WRITE SETTINGS.

To set GSM alarm and control system ESIM264 parameters use a computer, USB A- Mini / USB B cable and configuration program Configuration Tool. When connecting to a particular computer for the first time you will need to wait until the used drivers are automatically installed (step 3). A more detailed sequence of the steps is the following:

1. Connect ESIM264 to the main power supply. 2. Using the provided cable connect mini USB port of the system ESIM264 with the computer USB port. If this is NOT the first time you are connecting the device to the computer, skip steps 3 and 4. 3. Driver installation (the computer performs it automatically). 4. When installation is complete disconnect USB cable and reconnect it. 5. Start the program Configuration Tool. 6. Press the button CONNECT. 7. The main window of the program should display system version number (next to Status and Version marks, as illustrated in the provided example). If version number does not appear check port settings, correct cable connection and system power supply connection. The program does not detect the connected device if the user of the account that is trying to connect does not have administrator rights. After this problem is solved press CONNECT again. |

# 2.2. Remote Configuration

NOTE: in order to start remote configuration via GPRS, it is necessary that GPRS settings (ESIM264 -> Connection -> Advanced Configuration -> System -> GPRS Settings) is provided.

NOTE: In order to activate GPRS connection between device and the server, You must send specified SMS command ("xxxx stconfig", here xxxx - Your 4 digit SMS password) to the device. NOTE: Possible temporary GPRS connection problems if system is calling to users (in case of alarm and etc.) at the same time when GPRS connection is activated.

Choose Remote Configuration option in Connection window if You want to connect to ESIM264 via GPRS. Additionally, You will be asked to choose the GPRS connection type and other specified parameters:

GPRS connection between device and software selection - choose option "Connect to Remote Server" to connect to device via remote server or choose "Run TCP/IP Server" in order to connect to device directly (it is necessary to configure Your router*). * - it is necessary to configure the router as incoming data to your public IP address (router, port: 5000) must be transmited to Your computer (by local IP address and indicated port). |

Providing additional information - You will be asked to provide device IMEI (it will be received with SMS message) if software is connecting to Remote Server or choose Computer TCP Port number if software is going to run TCP/IP Server. |

Connecting to device - after connection with Remote Server is established or TCP/IP Server is activated, it can take up to 2-3 minutes while device connects to software "Configuration Tool". When device is connected successfully, software will ask for admin password (the same as SMS password) or indicates that configuration read is proceeding. |

After configuration read is successfull, You can start configurations for ESIM264.
