Configuring your XML Alarm Library

Your default Contact ID alarm code settings for alarm signal integration can be customized for your dealer account. 

This is done on your "Dealer Settings -> Integration -> Alarm Library for XML Integration"

The default library is applied to all new customer sites as you add them. It is best to define these settings before you begin adding new customers.  The settings can be changed at any time and each customer account has an account level override for the dealer default settings.

Site settings can be adjusted by going to - "Site Settings -> Alarm Library -> CHeKT Defined Alarm Codes"

To modify your global dealer settings:

1. Go to your Dealer Settings.
   

2. Select Alarm Library for XML Integration.
3. There are two sections to the Library.

• Bridge Alarm Input Codes: These are the alarm codes defined for the Bridge Zone Types. - Learn More able Bridge Zone Types

If your alarm panel is going to deliver the alarm signal these can be disabled by default.  If you want redundant signal delivery, then you can enable these and the CHeKT Bridge will send an alarm signal to the central station when one of the CHeKT Bridge zones are triggered.  (If you plan on using the CHeKT Bridge on a customer account without an alarm panel, then we recommend you setup the zone setting on the account Alarm Library override.)

CHeKT Defined Alarm Codes: The CHeKT Defined codes can only be enabled or disabled.  These are a list of alarm IDs that will be sent to your automation software in the described trouble condition. It is very important that these alarm ID codes are entered into your automation platform.
