8- Testing and Resetting
Sending test reports
Test reports can be sent as soon as the alarm has been set up to check if the alarms are
working correctly. Alarm delays that have been set may be generated when sending test
reports.
Proceed as follows:
• Press Test and use the cursos keys to select the function that needs to be tested.
• Make your selection:
10. Alarm inputs.
20. Local alarms
30. Audio
• Function key 3 (select or ok) will start the test message.
What you should do if an alarm is activated (resetting)
Once the alarm dialer is fully functional, the following types of alarm can be given depending
on the settings:
• Audio signal from internal or external buzzer
• External flashing light
• Voice message on a (GSM) telephone. Pressing 8 on the keypad of your phone will
restart the last played voice message
• An SMS message on a mobile telephone
• Pager message
A similar alarm report has to be reset. Resetting can be carried out on the alarm dialer after
entering a user code or, remotely with a telephone. Resetting via the telephone can be carried
out during the report itself.
The 4-figure reset codes are set in the alarm dialer. These are personal codes so the person
carrying out the reset is registered. These codes are the equivalent of the alarm's log in codes
and are in menu 03 Telephone Book.
Reset with SMS to Octalarm-IP (only with GSM model)
When an SMS is sent due to an active alarm and the call back is being waited for, an SMS
can be sent back to the alarm dialer to confirm the message. The alarm SMS contains a code
such as "*123". Sending this code via SMS to the alarm dialer's mobile number will confirm the
message. The same can be achieved by bouncing (sending back) the incoming SMS
message to the alarm dialer.
Requesting alarm status via SMS (only with GSM model)
If an SMS with the text "status" is sent to the GSM Octalarm-IP model, an SMS will be sent
back that offers a listing all active alarms.
