2. Basic Configuration & Usage
ATTENTION: System conguration described in this chapter is based on default system parameter values. Your alarm system
installer may have changed those values. For more details, please, contact your alarm system installer.
This chapter provides a description of basic conguration and usage of ESIM264 alarm system by the following methods:
• SMS message;
• Phone call;
• EKB2 keyboard;
• EKB3 keyboard;
• iButton® key.
In order to congure and control the system using SMS message, send the text command to the ESIM264 system phone
number from one of the preset user phone numbers. In this user manual the underscore symbol ”_” represents one space
character. Every underscore symbol must be re placed by a single space character. There must be no spaces or other un-
necesary characters at the beginning and at the end of the message. XXXX – 4-digit SMS password set by your alarm
system installer.
The system conguration and control by EKB2 keyboard is performed by navigating throughout the menu section list dis-
played on LCD screen. To navigate in the menu path, touch ↓, ↑ keys to select the desired menu section and touch OK key
to open the selected section. To enter a required value, use 0... 9 keys and touch OK key for value conrmation or cancel/
go one menu section back by touching ←key. The value can be typed in directly by touching 0... 9 keys while highlighting
the desired menu section. EKB2 menu type is “circle”, therefore when the last section in the menu list is selected, you will
be brought back to the beginning of the list after touching the ↓ key. In this user manual, the menu path is provided under
“tree” view by starting at main screen view. In this user manual valid parameter values and range are indicated in brackets.
The system conguration and control by EKB3 keyboard is performed by entering a valid conguration command using
the number keys 0... 9 and [#] key for conrmation. Some commands require [BYPS] and [CODE] keys as well. The structure
of standard conguration command is a combination of digits. In this user manual conguration commands, valid param-
eter values and range are indicated in brackets.
