Create a Level 4 user to perform remote updates
# Secvest Touch wireless alarm system (FUAA50500)

Reading time: approx. 2 minutes

The Level 4 User option appears in Installer Mode once you enable the Remote Update option in the Advanced User Menu and via Installer Mode.

Notice

The window in which you create a Level 4 user only appears if no Level 4 user has been created since the initial commissioning or since the last deletion of an already created Level 4 user.

If the access data (= user name and password/code) of an already created Level 4 user are not known, you must delete the Level 4 user in the Advanced User Menu (or have someone delete it) and then create a new Level 4 user.

The route via the “Level 4 user” is necessary for firmware versions >= 1.01.00 to ensure DIN EN 50131 conformity.

A different process applies for remote updates of alarm control panels with firmware versions < 1.01.00. However, we recommend updating the Secvest (regularly) to the latest firmware version .

Enable remote update function

• Log in as administrator , e.g. using the Secvest web interface .
• Go to Advanced User Menu > Configuration > Security Settings > Remote Updates .

This will bring up the “Remote Updates” screen.

• Select the “Shared” option by checking the corresponding checkbox.
• Exit the user menu.
• Log in as an installer using the Secvest web interface .
• Go to Installer Mode > System > Security Settings > Remote Updates .
• Select the “Shared” option by checking the corresponding checkbox.

As soon as the “Remote Update” function is enabled via the installer mode , a new window opens in the installer mode, where you can create the “Level 4 user” or “Access Level 4 user”.

Window “Enter Level 4 User Name/Code for the First Time

Notice

The window only appears if no Level 4 user has been created since the initial commissioning or since the last deletion of an already created Level 4 user.

If the window does not open automatically after the previous steps, the Level 4 user has probably already been created, which can be checked in the Advanced User Menu.

If the access data (= user name and password/code) of an already created Level 4 user are not known, you must delete the Level 4 user in the Advanced User Menu (or have someone delete it) and then create a new Level 4 user.

Create “Level 4 User”

• For security reasons, we recommend changing the default setting “Level 4” for the “Level 4 user name” directly here.
• Enter a (new) “Level 4 User Code” .

The code you enter must not be the same as the current code of an administrator, a normal user or the installer.

The “Level 4 User Code” has the same number of digits as the installer code or the user codes (4 or 6 depending on the setting).

• Confirm the code using the “Confirm new code” input field.

A later (further) change of the “Level 4 User Name” is possible by this user himself or any administrator.

• Click the Apply button to save your settings.

The new “Level 4” user is now automatically created in the background .

• Log out of installer mode.

Performing remote updates as a “Level 4 user” works as long as this function remains enabled in the user menu and via the installer mode or the user is not deleted.
