
4.7. Alarm zones
MultiSensors connected to the AlarmManager and also the inputs of Kentix IO-modules can be assigned to
different alarm zones. With this option a separation into different areas can be realized. Every zone can be
switched to armed or disarmed state and send alarms independent from the other alarm zones.
For the configuration, add the desired number of zones in the alarm zones section of the base settings and
enter a name for every zone. After this assign the sensors to the desired zone.#
4.8. Quitting Alarms
When an Armed-Active or Always-Active alarm is triggered at the AlarmManager, it has to be quit after the
cause has been fixed. This can be done by the Web-Interface, the ControlCenter, via SMS or with the App.
The last triggered alarm will be resent every time the set up time for the alarm repetition runs up. With a value of
0 this repetition can be suppressed.
If an existing alarm is quit without the cause being fixed, the AlarmManager stops the alarm repetition. The
alarm state stays active.
Additionally the AlarmManager tries for every 6 hours to quit existing alarms. When the cause has been fixed or
is no longer present, alarming can be stopped this way, but gives the possibility to be re-triggered again.
Page (06-2017, subject to change) kentix.com16
IMPORTANT!
Only when an alarm has been quit, it can be triggered again.
Other following alarms with a different cause from the sensors are still reported without acknowledgement.
IMPORTANT!
Also with multiple sensors in one zone an alarm of the type „Armed-Active“ can only be reported once for
every zone. After alarming the alarm repetition is activated. If a continuous alarming is desired, the automatic
quitting of alarms can be activated in the advanced settings.
The Quitting (by Software/Web-Interface/SMS/App) of alarms always considers all alarms regardless of the
assigned alarm zone.

4.10. SMS commands for remote control of AlarmManager
The AlarmManager reports not only all the alarms via SMS, it can be also remotely controlled via simple SMS
commands from a mobile phone. This brings the big advantage of having the central alarm system in your
pocket and remotely setting the system to the desired states.
The AlarmManager can be armed or disarmed and alarms can be acknowledged remotely. So you can decide if
it is necessary to intervene on the ground at any time by using the SMS information and status inquiry.
Important notes for remote control of the AlarmManagers via SMS
•Upper- and lower-case can be used.
•Between „Operator-PIN“ and „COMMAND“ is always a space.
•The „Operator-PIN“ can have 4-8 alphanumerical characters. Setup the PIN with the ControlCenter.
•The AlarmManager is confirming each command SMS with an SMS back to the sender.
•Command SMS with the wrong phone number or password will not be confirmed for security reasons.

4.11. Settings - AlarmManager-BASIC and -PRO
General Settings
System name
Enter the name of the system and choose the active state.
Regional settings
This settings allow to choose the timezone and the temperature unit.
Security - Webinterface always requires authentication!
This prevents the system state to be accessed by unauthorized users.
Security - Communication Key (AccessPoint)!
Using the Access System „Kentix DoorLock“ single alarmzones can be armed or disarmed.
The control for this is realized with a Kentix AccessPoint. To encrypt to connection between the devices a
communication key has to be entered here. This key must be identical in all connected devices.
When no access system is used, this field can be left empty.
Backup folder
The path to the backup files of the AlarmManager‘s configuration is set here.
Network
Here the network settings if the AlarmManager can be defined. For the use of the Kentix360-Cloud or an email-
configuration with DNS servername a valid gateway and DNS Server has to be defined here.
Alarm behavior
Alarm functions
Set the behavior of the AlarmManager for pending alarms here. The arming delay makes it possible to set a
timespan between arming and alarm triggering.
Signaling
The acoustic feedback (buzzers of AlarmManager and MultiSensors) and the feedback of the LEDs can be
activated or deactivated as needed, except the CO-alarming. A CO-alarm always triggers all buzzers for the
specified buzzer time.
Kentix360 Cloud
Please read the chapters „Kentix360 Cloud“ and „Kentix SIM“.

E-Mail, SNMP & GSM
E-Mail
For e-mail notifications an account can be configured with optional user credentials. Depending on the e-mail
server, setting an encryption method might be necessary. When choosing the encryption mode (STARTTLS /
SSL) the required port will be set to the according default port. The port can be changed if required.
The e-mail notification can be testet directly in the settings using the orange checkbox.#
SNMP - Monitoring
The AlarmManager supports full SNMP-functionality, therefore alarms can be sent as traps. Additionally the
AlarmManager can be configured for requests via network monitoring systems. For this purpose you can
download a MIB (Management Information Base) for the SNMP host.
GSM settings
Enter the mobile number and PIN of the SIM card.
Network monitoring
Configure up to 50 network devices (BASIC: 3 devices). For each device network services can be defined to be
monitored (ICMP Ping or TCP portcheck).
The AlarmManager periodically checks, if the specified services on the servers are available or if there is an
answer on a sent PING. The request interval can be set between 60 and 999 seconds. Note that the alarm will
be triggered after 3 failed attempts.
By pressing the Kentix-Check-Button the connection to the selected service can be tested.
In addition to the server monitoring function, the AlarmManager (PRO only) can receive incoming SNMP-Traps
as alarms. These will be sent to the users which are configured to be notified of always-active alarms. The
retrigger time of this service specifies the period of time after which the alarm can be sent again.

NOTE!
The test e-mail is sent to the e-mail-address of the first user. In case of an error please check, whether an e-
mail-address has already been configured for this user. Also take care of possible restrictions (routing/firewalls)
in your network and synchronize data like encryption and communication port with the responsible persons.
NOTE!
When the AlarmManager is registered for the Kentix360 cloud, all e-mails will be sent by the cloud-service. In
this case no e-mail-server is required, but recommended as a fallback option for additional redundancy.#
When the AlarmManager is not able to sent messages via the cloud-service it will automatically send e-mails
via the configured SMTP server.
