Onboarding: initial settings via a web browser (with IP address alarm dialler)

Good to know: Onboarding via a web browser is currently only available in Dutch. The English version will be available in the next software release.
For now, you can complete onboarding via the alarm dialler in English or use a web browser in Dutch.

When you switch on the dialler for the first time or reset it to factory settings, the dialler displays a wizard for initial settings (onboarding). To perform onboarding via a web browser, you need the dialler's IP address.

Note: Ensure the dialler is connected to the (company) network via the UTP connection.

Getting started

1. Hold a supplied tag against the RFID scanner to display the device's IP address on the Octalarm alarm dialler.
2. Enter the IP address in a web browser.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

1. Create the first user

Support for translating the Dutch language
Taal = language
Bevoegdheid = authorisations
Gebruikersnaam = user name
Wachtwoord = password
Acceptatie pin = Acceptance pin; 4–8 digits used to accept a call
Volgende = next

Complete all fields to create a device administrator.

• The interface language determines which language the user sees after logging in.
• See Contacts | Add and edit: Authorisation, username and password for further explanation of the different authorisations for contacts.

2. Set the system localisation

Support for translating the Dutch language
Taal = language
Tijdzone = time zone
Landcodes = country code
Vorige = previous
Volgende = next

The selected language determines the language of:

• the text on the device;
• the spoken alarm texts.

Adjust if necessary by clicking the drop-down menu. See Settings | Appearance | Language for further explanation.

Set the time zone by selecting a region and country (with time zone).

Set the country code.

Note: To avoid dial-out problems, we recommend using the default country codes. Use the drop-down menu to select the desired country.

See Settings | System | Country Codes for further explanation on country codes, international and long-distance access numbers.

3. Optional: subscribe to the Octalarm Connect service

The Octalarm Connect service enables dialling out at low, fixed monthly costs via GSM and/or VoIP.

Support for translating the Dutch language
Abonnementsvormen = subscription type
Vorige = previous
Overslaan = Skip
Volgende = next

Select the desired subscription type and enter the Email address where you want to receive the activation link, or click Overslaan (Skip).

Tip: If the Octalarm Connect subscription fails (e.g. the message Portal not reachable, Payment failed, etc.), we advise you to use the portal (https://portal.octalarm.com). See Octalarm Connect for more information on activating Octalarm Connect.

Note: If you choose Skip, Own server will be set for VoIP and Email. See Settings | Interfaces | VoIP and Settings | Interfaces | Email for instructions on setting up your own SIP and/or SMTP server in the alarm dialler. If you activate Connect at a later date, do not forget to manually convert the Email and VoIP server to Octalarm Portal.

4. Change the location name (default: Octalarm) and select the alarm interfaces you want to use (GSM/PSTN/VoIP)

Support for translating the Dutch language
Vorige = previous
Volgende = next

Give the alarm dialler a name to distinguish the location. See Settings | System | Location name for further explanation.

5. Use the FREE Adésys Alarm App

For more information on the free app, see Adésys Alarm App.

All finished!

You have now completed the initial settings. Clicking Klaar (finished) activates the Octalarm alarm dialler.

Note: Abruptly removing the power cable and battery may, in rare cases, cause the system to malfunction and stop working. Always shut down the dialler in a controlled manner.
