# Prepare System for Activation of Monitoring
This article is a list of steps that you can take to prepare your system for a smoother activation process
1) Have panel installed [https://support.geoarm.com/installing-the-security-system-vista-15p-20p/](https://support.geoarm.com/installing-the-security-system-vista-15p-20p/?hsLang=en)
2) Install communicator if possible (We have many guides on our youtube page and on here that assist in installing communicators) [https://support.geoarm.com/communicator-install-videos/](https://support.geoarm.com/communicator-install-videos/?hsLang=en)
3) Write down the Serial numbers required for your communicator [ https://support.geoarm.com/locate-mac-and-crc-or-serial-number/]( https://support.geoarm.com/locate-mac-and-crc-or-serial-number/)
4) Have a couple sensors installed so that we can test the system after activation [ https://support.geoarm.com/zone-programming-menu-mode-programming-a-new-zone-20p-adding-a-new-sensor-vista-15p/]( https://support.geoarm.com/zone-programming-menu-mode-programming-a-new-zone-20p-adding-a-new-sensor-vista-15p/)
During the activation process with GeoArm we will assist with any programming that is needed for communication with our central station, any other programming and technical assistance may require additional charges.
