3. Administration

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.

3.1. Administrator control parameters

Settings section Call/SMS Settings is used for putting authorized telephone numbers for which the system ESIM264 will allow performing configurations. By default, in the case of alarm the system sends SMS messages and calls until one of the possible five users answers the call or presses reject button or if the call is terminated by mobile network operator. It is also possible to configure the system so that SMS messages are simultaneously received by all administrators.

It is necessary to enter only telephone number of the first user (User1), i. e. it is not necessarily to enter all 5 numbers (User1…User5) at once. User must type mobile number in the international format (it consist of only those digits that overseas callers must type: 44[area code][local number]) without symbol '+'.

E.g. the mobile number of user is +44 (0) 113 xxx xxxx, so the incorrectly and correctly entered numbers are:

Incorrectly entered user number: 440113xxxxxxx or 0113xxxxxxx


Correctly entered user number: 44113xxxxxxx






SMS ALL – When this function is enabled, in the case of an alarm, the system simultaneously sends SMS messages to all entered users. By default this function is disabled. When this function is disabled, SMS messages are delivered in a sequence starting with the first user (User1). The message will be sent to the next user only in the case the device does not receive a confirmation about a successful SMS message delivery to the first recipient.

Inform All about Arming/Disarming – When this function is enabled, the system sends information messages to all users (with enabled Arm/Disarm Event function) about armed/disarmed security system. By default this function is disabled - specified user will receive SMS notification about armed/disarmed security only in the case the fuction Arm/Disarm Event is enabled and he is personally arming or disarming security.

Disable Call during Alarm – a function disabling (check mark is selected) calls to the specified users in the case of alarm. By default this function is turned off.

Disable SMS during Alarm – a function disabling (check mark is selected) SMS message delivery to the specified users in the case of alarm. By default this function is turned off.

Chime Enable – When this function is enabled, users will be informed with sound signal of the keyboard speaker about any triggered Delay zone sensors even when the system security is not activated. By default, this function is enabled.

Partition 0 /Partition 1 - Indicates partition which the user phone number is assigned to.

Answer Call - By enabling this feature (check-box checked) the system answers the phone call from a preset user for remote listening to what is happening in the secured area.


3.2. Setting passwords


SMS Password – main 4 digit password which is used for system configurations and control via SMS messages. By default, password is 0000, which is NECESSARY to change. 

Allow Only preset Users – When this function is enabled, the system reacts to the SMS messages-commands that are sent only from registered telephone numbers. If this function is disabled, the device can be controlled by all users who know the number of the SIM card inserted in the device, control commands and the main password. Factory default setting - enabled.

Admin Password – 4 digit code which is used to configurate system settings with a keyboard (read more in the user manual of the keyboard). By default, this code is 1470, which is recommended to change.

NOTE: it is necessary to change factory default password (“0000”). If the password is not changed the chosen parameters will not be stored in the device.
NOTE: when entering the new password you cannot use full stops, colons and spaces.
NOTE: even if you forgot the password having connected to Configuration Tool using this software you will be able to easily check the password – all device settings, including the password, are displayed on the computer screen.


3.3. Selecting the language

The system ESIM264 communicates with the user via SMS messages, which are used for sending various informational messages about system status. For the sake of comfort the user has an option to choose the language in which the SMS messages will be delivered:


  • Lithuania – Lithuanian language;
  • Russia – Russian language;
  • English – English language;
  • Eesti – Estonian language;
  • Latviesu – Latvian language;
  • Cestina – Czech language;
  • Slovensky – Slovenian language;

3.4.Configuring periodical testing

The system ESIM264 periodically send informational messages about device status, i. e, it informs the user about connection status, whether the security is armed/disarmed etc. every day at the preset time. This is the test how the system operates. The user can specify the frequency and time of these continuous messages:


Period – specifies after how many days repetitive informational messages are delivered, e. g. if you enter “1” – the system sends messages every day, if you enter “2” – it sends messages every two days etc.

Time – specifies the time at which informational message will be delivered, e.g.: if you specify “11” – the message will be delivered at 11:00 etc.


NOTE: the user can disable the function of delivering periodical informational messages if he/she fills the fields in sections Period and Time with zeros.
NOTE: if you want system checks to be performed more often than once per day enter “0” in the section Period and “1…23” in the section Time. For instance, continuous check will be performed every two hours if you specify the following parameters: Period – “0”, Time – “2”.



3.5.Setting the time and date

ESIM264 device has an integrated clock that must be set by the user when the device is started for the first time. The clock is intended for the system to send specific informational messages about system status etc. at the specified time. You need to enter the following data:



Date - date, the format: year-month-day;

Time - time, the format: hours:minutes;


In the environment of Configuration Tool the user can enter date and time data or automatically set this information according to computer clock (pressing the button Get PC Time). When all data is set you must press the button Set Clock – the time will be entered on the device.
NOTE: when device power supply gets cut off and the backup battery is depleted internal clock is restored to the previous factory default value; to have the system operate correctly you need to reset the internal clock of the device accordingly.
NOTE: Configuration Tool program cannot read the internal clock of ESIM264 device, therefore when connecting the device to the software date and time fields will remain empty even though the time is set correctly in the device.


3.6.Ways to connect Alarm Zones

In the environment of Configuration Tool the user must specify the type of connected Alarm Zones:



Type1 – Normally open contact with 5,6KΩ end of line resistor



Type2 – Normally closed contact with 5,6KΩ end of line resistor



Type3 – Tamper and 5,6KΩ end of line resistor and 3,3KΩ end of line resistor with normally closed contact



Type4 – 5,6KΩ end of line resistor and normally closed contact with 3,3KΩ end of line resistor and normally closed contact. This type of connection is used for ATZ mode.



Type5 – Tamper and 5,6KΩ end of line resistor and 5,6KΩ end of line resistor with normally closed contact and 3,3KΩ end of line resistor with normally closed contact. This type of connection is used for ATZ mode.


3.7.Events Log


Log Enable – When this function is enabled, the system logs all information about system configuration, system actions and info messages to the events log. By default, this function is disabled.

By pressing button Get Log, the system generates file log.txt which consist of the last 500 records to the events log.

By pressing button Clear Log, the system empties all records stored in the event log.


3.8.Temperature sensor

The system ESIM264 allows the user to receive SMS messages in the case of temperature deviation from the set values. In order to use this function it is necessary to connect temperature sensor and set the parameters accordingly:


Max - maximum marginal temperature. The temperature is measured in degrees Celsius.
Min - minimal marginal temperature. The temperature is measured in degrees Celsius.
Type zeros in both sections if the temperature sensor is not used or if You dont want to let the system to react to the temperature indication.

Temperature Limit Info SMS – when this function is enabled the system sends the information by SMS messages about temperature deviation from the set values. By default, this function is enabled.

NOTE: It is recommended to disable this function then the automatic output control (see more at chapter 8) for Temp Fall and Temp Exceeded events is activated. Otherwise, the user will receive 2 SMS messages about the same event (temperature deviation from the set values).



3.9.External power supply control


Check External Power Status - when this function is enabled the system informs the user by SMS message about external power cut-off and restore. Factory default setting – enabled.

AC Loss Delay - This field is used to configure delay time to inform users about external power supply loss events. If the power supply is restored in delay time, the system will not inform users about this event. This parameter is useful when facing temporary power supply failures. By default, this time is 30 seconds. Parameter range from 1 to 65535 seconds.

AC Restore Delay - This field is used to configure delay time to inform users about external power supply restore events. If the power supply is lost again in delay time, the system will not inform users about this event. This parameter is useful when facing temporary power supply failures. By default, this time is 120 seconds. Parameter range from 1 to 65535 seconds.



3.10. Additional security settings



Exit Delay - This field is used to configure delay time to leave the premises after activating security system. The time is indicated in seconds. Factory default setting - 15s. Parameter range from 1 to 600 seconds.




Alarm time - this parameter is used for setting the time of device alarm siren sound after the alarm is activated. The time is indicated in minutes. Factory default setting – 1 minute.

Bell Squawk Enable - by enabling this feature the siren provides short beeps while the system is counting down the exit delay time (arming the security system). By default this parameter is disabled. This feature applies to wired sirens only.

Siren ON if RF device lost - this parameter enables the siren in case of wireless connection between security system and any wireless device is lost. By default this feature is disabled.

3.11.Using iButton keys

The first iButton key can be linked (saved) by touching it to the reader. The system will inform the user that the key was successful saved in system memory by emitting two short beeps through the sonic signaller (You must have the signaller installed). Other iButton key can be linked (saved) only in the case if the function New iButton keys Write Enable is enabled.



iButton1...iButton5 fields are not editable – they indicate ID numbers of the recorded keys. To delete ID number of the key you need to select Disable next to the number.

New iButton keys Write Enable – Enable this function if you want to register iButton keys to the system. After registering iButton keys, this function must be disabled.

Partition 0/Partition 1 - Set partition in which iButton key is assigned.

NOTE: at the end of programming it is necessary to disable function New iButton keys Write Enable and press the button Write Settings.


3.12. Using keyboards

In the section Status it is indicated if a zone is enabled.

All security system ESIM264 zones can be configured to work in any of the following modes, which are represented in section Zone Type:

Follow - this zone doesn’t react to violations during Delay time.

Instant - when this zone is violated, immediately cause an alarm.

Delay - doesn’t react to violations in time period which is used to enter security password.

24H - this zone is active all the time, even when the system is disarmed.

Fire - this type of zone is used to connect smoke detectors and monitors all the time even if the system is disarmed. Fire zone alarm is pulse (with pauses).

Silent - this zone works as 24H zone and when it is violated, the system doesn’t turn on the siren.

STAY mode enables the users to arm and disarm security while staying inside the secured premises. The zones which are configured as STAY, will not be secured if the person does not leave the premises after activating security system. By default, this function is disabled.

Tamper Name - code name of the specified tamper. If the specified tamper is triggered, system sends to the user SMS message with the entered value. It is allowed to enter up to 17 symbols.

Entry Delay, s - This field is used to configure time which is dedicated to disarm the security system when users enters in the specified Delay zone. If system will not be disarmed in time, then it will cause an alarm. By default, this time is 15 seconds. This parameter can be adjusted only for Delay type zones.

Partition (Partition 0 / Partition 1) - Indicates partition in which zone operates.


It is posible to disable the zone of the keyboard if it is not necessary to use. In this case, it is needed to select the last check box in the table and to click button Remove Selected - the zone of the keyboard becomes inactive and it will not be administrated by the system ESIM264.
