# 6.Monitoring station settings

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. NOTE: before starting configuration it is necessary to change the primary manufacturer password („0000“). Otherwise the device will ignore he commands sent from the computer.

Informational messages generated by ESIM264 security system can also be transmitted to monitoring stations via CONTACT ID protocol using GSM audio channel or GPRS connection.

# 6.1.Monitoring station activation

In Configuration Tool program environment this operation mode can be activated by checking CID Enable in SC Settings section. Also, it is necessary to choose in which way these messages will be transmitted to monitoring station:

| Using GSM audio channel – choose Voice Calls in the section Communication Using GPRS connection – choose GPRS Network in the section Communication Using RS485 connection – choose RS485 data channel in the section Communication

Having done this in the predetermined cases the system sends messages to the pre-set telephone number of the monitoring station and, if required, to the registered users via SMS messages.

| CID Enable – When this function is enabled, the system generates CONTACT ID messages and delivers them to monitoring stations. When this function is disabled, the system operates in normal mode, i. e., delivers messages only to registered users (other configurations in MS Settings section becomes inactive). Configure which Contact ID messages will be delivered to monitoring station. By default, all these messages are activated. Alarm/Restore Event – the messages about system alarm and restore events. External Power Loss/Restore Event – the messages about external power supply loss and restore events. Akum Status Event – the messages about backup battery flat status. Armed Event - the messages about security system arming events.

Disarmed Event - the messages about security system disarming events.
Test Event - the messages with test information about the status of the device.
Configure which events SMS messages will be delivered to users when monitoring station function is enabled. By default, all these messages are inactive:

| Alarm Event – the messages about alarm events. Disarmed Event – the messages about disarm events. Armed Event – the messages about arm events. External Power Loss Event – the messages about external power supply loss events. External Power Restore Event - the messages about external power supply restore events. Akum Status Event - the messages about backup battery flat status. Test Event - the messages with test information about the status of the device.

# 6.2.Configuring periodical testing

In section Monitoring Station Numbers the user have to enter parameters which is necessary to transmit info messages to monitoring station using GSM audio channel:

| Account – A device access number which is used by the Monitoring station to determine the monitoring object. Initial account number (9999) must be changed. Attemtps – this field is used for indicating the number of attempts the system tries to call on the telephone number of the Monitoring Station if the initial call was unsuccessful. If all the attempts were unsuccessful the system goes to the next Monitoring Station number in the hierarchy. If the call to the last telephone number TelNumber3 in the hierarchy is unsuccessful, the calls are made from the beginning starting with the main Monitoring Station number (TelNumber1). By default settings, number of these calls is 5 times. TelNumber1 – the main telephone number of Monitoring station. TelNumber2 – alternative number of Monitoring station. TelNumber3 – alternative number of Monitoring station.

In section GPRS Settings the user have to enter parameters which is necessary to transmit info messages to monitoring station using GPRS connection:

Profile – code name of the selected GPRS parameters
APN – GPRS access point provided by the GSM operator of the used SIM card.
User Name – user name (provided by GSM operator).
Password – password (provided by GSM operator).
TCP / UDP – switch between TCP and UDP data protocols.
Server IP – IP address of the router that the server is connected to.
Server Port – router TCP / UDP port number used for communicating with the device.
DNS1 – Primary DNS server IP address.
DNS2 – DNS server IP address.

Using GPRS connection for transmitting CONTACT ID protocol messages it is necessary that sotware KRONOS LT is installed at Monitoring Station (check manufacturer internet site or visit software developer internet site: www.kronos.pl).

# 6.3.Additional settings

| Test Period – period time of sending CONTACT ID protocol messages to monitoring station. The recommended value using GPRS Network is 60 and for GSM connection – 0; Device ID – Identification number of device, which receives CONTACT ID protocol messages via GPRS. This parameter is only useful when security system works with EGR100 software. Enable GSM Backup – This function enables GSM network backup in case of GPRS network failure to transfer CONTACT ID protocol. GPRS Attempts – This function is used for indicating the number of attempts the system tries to connect to GPRS network if the initial connection was unsuccessful. Parameter range from 1 to 255. Delay between Attempts – This function is used for indicating delay time in seconds the system stops to try to transfer CONTACT ID protocol to Monitoring Station if GPRS network connection and Voice Calls were unsuccessful. By default, this time is 600 seconds. Parameter range from 1 to 65535.

NOTE: It is highly recommended to use Test Period value 0 then GSM connection is enabled. Otherwise, if the value 60 and etc. is used, the system will send lots of useless CONTACT ID protocol messages to monitoring station.
