Connection via the EVABOX
With EVALARM, fire warning and fire alarm systems can be easily connected in minutes.
EVALARM has several options for processing incoming messages.
SMS / email
If the BWA or BMA has already sent an SMS or email, these can be received and processed by EVALARM.
Serial interfaces / protocols
EVALARM can process different protocols (ESPA 4.4.4, Modbus, SIA, ASCII (plain text), different manufacturer protocols).
Messages (alarms, faults, etc.) can be transmitted by an existing transmission unit or by the "EVABOX" transmission unit.
EVABOX
The EVABOX is a smart transmission unit developed by EVALARM.
If a connection is available via LAN, this is used with priority. If the connection is lost, it is checked whether an LTE modem is available. If so, only then is a connection established via the LTE modem to the EVALARM system. If this cannot be established successfully either, an SMS can optionally be sent in an emergency.
EVALARM monitors the connection to the fire alarm technology and automatically creates a fault message if the connection to the EVABOX is interrupted or disrupted. If the connection from the EVABOX to the EVALARM system is disrupted, a corresponding fault message is also generated automatically.
The EVABOX has the possibility to monitor different systems via 4 x USB interfaces and to transmit their messages to the EVALARM system. ESPA 4.4.4 and ASCII (plain text) are supported as protocols. Furthermore, a potential-free contact can be connected as a make contact.
The data exchange between the EVABOX and the EVALARM system takes place via a secure WebSocket connection via HTTPS. An outgoing internet connection is required to transfer the data.
