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.
