The alarm dialler can send Email notifications via the mobile internet and Ethernet connection.

Activating the supplied SIM card

To use the GSM module, activate the SIM card provided during onboarding. This enables you to subscribe to the Octalarm Connect service. Alternatively, you may choose a VoIP-only subscription.

Good to know: If you did not select Octalarm Connect during onboarding, you can still activate this service via Settings | Octalarm Connect or through Remote setup. See The portal: portal.octalarm.com | Remote setup (global) and Remote setup (local) for further explanation.

See Octalarm Connect for more information and instructions on how to activate this service.

When using Octalarm Connect, the SMTP server is set to Octalarm Portal by default.
