Adding and editing contacts

• Click 'Add' to create a contact and fill in the fields below.
• Click on a contact and then click 'Edit' to edit the contact (see the fields and explanation below).
Name
Enter a recognisable name; this name will be visible
in the log.
Interface language
The interface language is the language that this
contact sees after logging in; it is NOT the language
that the device uses for voice alarms.
See chapter "7.2.1. System language" for setting the alarm language.
Acceptance PIN
A personal code that can be used to accept alarms
when notified by phone.
We recommend that each contact is given their own unique acceptance PIN.
Login
By placing a check mark, this contact is given the
right to log in on the Octalarm-Touch. Next, you
assign permissions, a username and password.
These permissions, usernames and passwords are
also important for remote setup.
Finally, you can also link tags here, which allow users
to log in to the Octalarm-Touch without a password.
There are 3 levels of permissions:
1. User: view function. No changes can be made.
2. Installer: all permissions. All settings can be
changed.
3. Administrator: all permissions. All settings can be changed.
The last installer or administrator cannot be changed to a user, because this would remove the possibility
to change the device settings.
Contact information
Add call resources via the 'add' button. The system will use these resources to reach contacts:
• telephone - for calls or text messages;
• Email - for Email notifications or app alerts;
For app alarms it is important that you use the Email address you are known with in
portal.octalarm.com;
• paging - for alerts sent via the POCSAG network.
After completing all fields, press 'Save' in the upper right corner to add the contact.
Test alert
It is recommended that you send a test alert to newly
entered contacts or after modifying or adding the
contact information:
• Select the relevant contact.
• select the call resource you wish to test;
there are 4 possible status colors:
• Grey: No test alert
• Blue: Test alert active
• Green: Test alert successful
• Red: Test alert failed
• Choose the interface you want to use for the test
(GSM, SMS, VoIP, Email).
The result of this test can be found in the log.
