Bold Integration Setup - URL Launch & XML Receiver

Bold Integration Setup - URL Launch & XML Receiver

The integration with Bold has two specific requirements.  Setting up an Action Pattern for the URL Launch and your XML Receiver.  Once this is complete you will connect the CHeKT XML Server to your XML Receiver.

  1. URL Launch 


1. Action Pattern:  Action Pattern will ensure that the CHeKT Monitoring Portal is automatically launched when an operator is processing an alarm signal. 

  • In ManitouNeo it is Launch->URL. 
  • In Manitou it is  Show->URL. 
  • The Base URL is https://monitoring.chekt.com/monitoring?.
  • The two URL Parameter options that need to be checked are "Contact Serial Number"

  • And "Alarm Zone"
  • Then "Add Item"

  • Once added you will see the "Launch" in the Action plan Steps.
  • We recommend that the Launch URL is the first step in the Action Pattern for all CHeKT Customers.  This will allow an operator to see cameras asap and provide customer with video information.

2. XML Receiver: You will need the Bold FEP or Media Gateway Service to support XML

  • Add additional receiver with the new port. 
  • The address is the server IP or 127.0.0.1.
  • The port can be any currently unused port on the server
  • You will need to create a port forwarding entry in your firewall to allow the CHeKT Portal to push XML signals into your receiver. This needs to auto-resolve to the live server at all times. This is sometimes referred to as Nat Load Balancing or an Availability Group
  • CHeKT has also developed a VPN server, where a client can be installed on each machine that may ever run the FEP/Media Gateway to prevent complex firewall rules. 

3. Setup your XML Receiver in the CHeKT Dealer Portal.

  • Go to the Dealer Settings

  • Under Integration, Select XML Alarm Receiver
  • Press "Add" in the top right.

  • Select "Bold" as your Brand.

  • Name: Enter a name for your XML Receiver Setup.
  • Description: Enter a description for your XML Receiver Setup.
  • Enable: This must be checked to enable the receiver.
  • Public: If this is selected then other dealers can use this XML Receiver and select your account as their monitoring station.
  • Require Passkey: This will force another dealer to know this passkey if they need to use your account as their monitoring station.
  • URL:  This is your public IP and port information into you XML receiver. In the event you elect to use the CHeKT VPN server, a CHeKT support employee will need to provide this connection string. (Example: tcp://xx.xx.x.x:8082)
  • Heartbeat: In seconds, how often our cloud will need to send a heartbeat signal to your XML receiver.
  • Transmitter ID: Not used. (Leave Blank)
  • URL Info: Not used. (Leave Blank)
