Creating a Monitoring Station Record

The monitoring station record is required for all CHeKT Dealers.  The Monitoring Station record is what is assigned to your customer accounts.  When you create a new customer you will select the appropriate monitoring station record.  This is the company that will monitor your CHeKT customers. This monitoring station needs to be the same central station that is monitoring the alarm panel for that customer.
*If you are a monitoring center you must create your XML Receiver connection before setting up the Monitoring Station settings.  Click here for directions.
**If you are an alarm installing company that uses a contract monitoring center, you may be able to select your center from the "Monitoring Station" list or you will need to contact the center for the information you need to set up your Monitoring Center.  

When you create a monitoring station, it will be available for you to select when creating your customer accounts.
