# Initialize tampers

The front optical tamper detector will sense when the cabinet door has been opened. The rear optical tamper detector will sense when the cabinet is removed from its mounting surface.

Initializing the tampers should be the **last** thing you do before you leave the site.

* If you will be completing the Installer Portal (configuration app) configuration *on-site*, initialize the tampers just before you activate the site.
* If you will be leaving the site and completing the Installer Portal configuration *off-site*, initialize the tampers now.

When you have finished wiring the devices and no longer need to access the cabinet:

1. Close and lock the cabinet door using the key provided.
2. Within the [SMB Installer Portal](https://app.halo.gallagher.com/installer/), open the site and click the Controller at the top of the hardware tree.
3. Within the Controller lightbox, select **RESTART**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.security.gallagher.com/smb/installing-gallagher-smb/initialize-tampers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
