1. INTRODUCTION
This manual is intended for installers and describes the procedures for configuring the hybrid IoT platform for
Security and Home & Building Automation lares 4.0, by connecting to the Ksenia SecureWeb cloud:
•the first chapter briefly illustrates the different programming methods available to the installer (in local
connection from a browser, by APP “Ksenia pro”, remotely by connecting to the Ksenia SecureWeb pages);
•the second chapter explains how to register to the "Ksenia SecureWeb" cloud, how to enrol the platform and it
describes the "Installer" HOME page (name assigned to the programming web interface);
•the third chapter is dedicated to the description of the "Installer" programming pages, following the order of
the menu items of which it is composed.
1.1 Compatibility
This manual is updated to firmware version 1.64.17 of lares 4.0 control panel.
Compatible with all control panels of the lares 4.0 family.
1.2 Software requirements
• Recommended browser: G oo g l e C h r o m e
1.3 Configuration mode - logging in for the first time
Choose one of the following methods for configuring the lares 4.0 platform:

If the network, where the control panel is installed, supports DHCP, to read the IP address make the following
operations:
• Step 1. make sure the control panel is connected to the network;
• Step 2. enter the installer menu by dialing the PIN code on the numeric keypad (default: 123456);
• Step 3. scroll the menu items up to "Networking" and press OK;
• Step 4. the "IP Address" is displayed, make a note and exit the menu by pressing ESC twice.
Then type the IP address in the browser address bar: <https://control-panel-IP-address>.
Note: The default address will be 192.168.2.97 in the event that the network to which the control panel is connected
does not support the DHCP,
so type <https://192.168.2.97> in the browser address bar.
NOTE 1 : When you first switch on the keypad, the English menu will be displayed. To change the language, access the
