Adesys B.V. | Wateringen General The Octalarm-IP is an alarm system that detects malfunctions and calamities in both manned and unmanned installations and processes and forwards them via the telephone. There are various optical and acoustic options on site for reporting the malfunctions.
Ensure that the emergency power supply is monitored for any peripheral equipment • that may be present. When the Octalarm-IP has been set up to report via the internet, the Security DSL • splitter or a separate overvoltage protection should be used to protect the internet modem if possible.

Roles have been introduced to the control structure because not everyone can have access to all the Octalarm-IP functions due to administration and safety reasons. Each Role has Its own set of authorisations. This means that each Role gives access to specific set up functions.

Telephone Book can be grouped in a Call List. When, for example, the first receiver gives no response within a set time the Octalarm-IP will select the following receiver. Specific receivers can also be prioritised. You can find more information about compiling a Call List in paragraph 6.4 Step 3: compiling a Call list.
An Action List includes which Call Lists have to be used, whether the Octalarm-IP should give a local report and also which alternative Call Lists should be used during the night and at weekends for example.

It is possible to download and save all settings, including the self-recorded speech fragments, from a dialler. The saved file with (preferred) settings can also be loaded into other Octalarm-IP. However, this is subject to the condition that this is a dialler of the same type and with the same firmware version! Log in to the dialler using a web browser or IP-prog.
Call list All telephone numbers In the event of an alarm, the standard Action list leads to the following actions: start the buzzer of the Octalarm-IP; • • turn on the external buzzer and flashing light; start the standard call list without delay.

How to deal with a number of line interfaces Suppose that you have an Octalarm-IP that has a PSTN and a GSM line interface. When, for example you have an SMS package but continue making expensive calls via GSM, you would prefer that SMS messages were sent via the GSM module and the telephone calls via the fixed line.
Martin has to be able to reset the alarm if there are malfunctions but he never • changes settings. He has the authorisation “Only reset”. The following diagram shows how the dialler should be set up: Page 36 | Back to contents User manual Octalarm-IP | version 11-2021...

SMS message to the alarm dialler. 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.
Adesys B.V. | Wateringen Switching outputs with voice response Outputs on the Octalarm-IP can be set up for remote switching. This makes it possible to give the Octalarm-IP switch commands remotely with a (GSM-)telephone. Because of this it is possible to carry out a reset on the monitored technical installation for example.
Setting with PC or laptop with IP-prog In addition to setting up on the Octalarm-IP, the dialler can also be set up with a free software application on a PC or laptop. This works quickly and clearly. To do this, install IP-prog on the PC.
10.1 With IP-prog (without connection to the internet) Updating the software of the Octalarm-IP can be done without connection to the internet. For this, you use a PC or laptop and the program IP-prog. Make sure that you always use the latest version of IP-prog if you are going to update the alarm dialler. You can download this program for free at www.adesys.nl/nl/service/downloads.
It is important that a number of measures are taken when connecting an alarm dialler to a VoIP modem. Measures to take when using VoIP Connect the Octalarm-IP directly to the internet via the ethernet connection from the • ADSL modem to make line testing possible.
Adesys B.V. | Wateringen 11.2.2 Octalarm-IP in combination with an ADSL modem Follow the diagram given below when the Octalarm-IP is connected in combination with an ADSL modem. Do not use a standard splitter with ADSL but a Security DSL splitter with built-in overvoltage protection.
Adesys B.V. | Wateringen 11.2.3 Octalarm-IP in combination with VoIP When Voice over IP (VoIP), in other words internet telephony, is used there are a number of important recommendations concerning the connection and use of overvoltage protection and the emergency power supply. Consult paragraph 11.2.1 Alarm reporting by telephone using internet telephony (VoIP) for this.

The connection diagram is then as follows: 11.6 Connecting external communication 11.6.1 Analogue telephone line (Only for the PSTN Octalarm-IP model: IP-A0xPE and IP-A0xPG). Connect the Octalarm-IP to the telephone network preferably with an RJ-11 plug directly in an RJ11 wall box. You cannot use adapter plugs if you still use traditional telephone plugs.
11.6.2 Connecting ethernet (UTP) and/or internet Connect the Octalarm-IP to an ethernet wall socket using a cable with RJ-45 connectors or to a router. The alarm dialler will then wait until it is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server.
11.6.4 Inserting the SIM card (Only for Octalarm-IP with GSM module: IP-A0xPG and IP-A0xGE). The Octalarm-IP with GSM module is supplied without a SIM card. The SIM slot for the card is located on the GSM piggy-back printed circuit board next to the antenna connection. Place the SIM card with the copper contacts on the underside and the notch on the right-hand side as shown on the illustration.
When the indicator LED lights up, it is recommended to replace the battery as soon as possible. If you slide up the Octalarm-IP’s operating panel in relation to the bottom plate and then completely remove it (see paragraph 11.3 Enclosure), you will see the battery on...
