ARA 5: reporting to ARA 5

You can forward alarms from the Touch and Touch Pro to the old ARA 5 system (ARA-Pro version 5)¹.

Good to know: Ensure that the diallers can find each other via the (company) network. You can achieve this by:

1. placing the diallers in the same network;
   
   
2. linking the different networks.

• Open Settings.
• Select ARA 5 in the navigation menu.
• Click Edit and complete the fields below.
• Click Save.

After you have connected the alarm dialler, this screen will show you which ARA 5 system the device is connected to.

Good to know:

1. You can change the settings using the edit icon ().
2. You can delete previously added diallers that are not, or are no longer, applicable via the bin icon ().
