lares 4.0 PROGRAMMING MANUAL 3
rev. 0/2018
INTRODUCTION
The central lares 4.0 has not been configured at the time of purchase.
Configuration can be set by using one of the following methods:
1. Remotely, via the portal https://www.kseniasecureweb.com/
2. Via webserver by accessing the control panel in local or in peer-to-peer mode.
3. Remotely via mobile devices by using the Ksenia PRO app.
4. Via the keypad: this mode is restricted to just a few functions.
Unlike the previous (lares) platform, this system is both programmed and managed via a standard web browser
(e.g. Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge etc.): we recommend that it be programmed using Google Chrome, although we
usually carry out tests with various web browsers.
Using a web browser facilitates programming and does not require large processing capacity or any software.
The “lares 4.0” app which is to be used for user management is also available free or charge via the respective app
stores.
N.B.: “System OK” will be displayed on the keypad when switched on for the first time, and the English menu will be
displayed. Access the installer menu using the keypad or via the web server to change the language.
N.B.: The Ksenia Pro app can also be used for the “lares WLS 96-IP” platform, however it cannot be used for “lares”
N.B.: The lares 4.0 app cannot be used with the “lares” and “lares WLS” control panels. Please refer to the respective
platform manuals on these subjects.

• Updated: in this field it is possible to start/run the control panel update by uploading the file found on the SD card and
which has been downloaded previously from the respective area of the www.kseniasecurity.com website
• Back-up program.:
- Create new: backs-up any programming by saving the file on an SD card.
- Restoring: Any programming data saved previously will be read from the SD card and loaded into the control panel.
• Networking: a network configuration menu which allows the network parameters to be read/modified.
- IP address: The control panel IP address
- Subnet mask: Subnet mask.
- Gateway: Gateway IP address.
- DHCP server: This menu item is activated to allow the DHCP to be re-enabled if the control panel has been set to a
fixed IP address.
• Language: you can select the keypad language via this menu.
• Vers. Control panel: this allows you to view the control panel firmware version (although not the web server)
PROGRAMMING IN “PEER TO PEER” MODE (PROGRAMMABLE VIA PC)
All configurations in general terms can be set freely using any of the methods described in (page 3) with the exception of
using the keypad and generating voice messages:
the final function can only be used with a Loquendo USB stick (the one which is used for lares/basis) or by activating a
server licence on SecureWeb.
Please refer to the relevant section for generating voice messages via a local connection and a Loquendo USB stick.
The control panel has DHCP enabled as a default, therefore, there are two possibilities for finding out the IP address:
1) via the keypad, by using the dedicated menu inside the installer menu.
2) by using the server name https://KS-BOARD-xx-yy-zz (by replacing xx-yy-zz with the last six digits of the MAC
address which is printed on the control panel label).
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.
N.B: The control panel only communicates by default in safe mode (https) via port 443.
Please type https://192.168.2.97 to access the control panel should the DHCP not be supported.
N.B: the default code for accessing configuration settings is 123456.
N.B: it is NOT possible to set a configuration if the system has been installed, even in part or if the user has disabled
access by using the installer code.

The “lares WLS” and “lares 4.0” require an online licence, which is combined with the use of the SecureWeb
portal (please see (p. 56) →for peer-to-peer mode and the voice messaging section). This function is activated with
a scratch-card which is sold separately.
In order to activate the voice licence you must:
1) access SecureWeb
• click on licences
• register a new licence
• insert the serial number printed on the scratch card
• choose the item you require
Programming via Secureweb will be processed in the manual because it is also possible to manage voice messages when
in this mode. The same operations are also valid for the Ksenia Pro app
Select the device to be configured once you have logged onto the portal, and click on the button in the “modify configuration”
column.
The installer code will be requested at this stage (default 123456): enter this code to access the control panel web server.
