How to find ENS
Login Page
This is the login page for ENS. It is the same for all three servers, so before logging in it is important to note the URL.
Only “All Other DHS Users” will see this login screen. FEMA users will login with PIV.
Login Name: Typically first initial of the first name and entire last name, a number may be included if there is a duplicate.
Password: Complex password decided by the user.
Company Name: Agency database you will log in to your company (ex. DHS, USCIS, CBP, etc.)
Roster users are the very basic users. They only have access to their own contact information and nothing more.
Roster Users
Contact information
SMS devices fall under the Text tab within a contact’s devices. Adding a new SMS device is simple. Click the Text tab, select the Cassidian SMS Gateway from the drop down, enter the number of the SMS device, and click Add.
Once the device is added you will see something similar to the below image:
Note the header “SMS Opt State” marked as NO. This means the SMS device has not gone through the Opt-in Process yet. To Opt-in a new SMS device send a text from the device to 34292 with the message “Join FEMASMS” (Enter your company in place of ****. For instance, You log in to the FEMA company to access ENS, so you would type Join FEMASMS into the text.) You will receive a confirmation text which looks like this:
•“Verify code-URKGHSHOQC (StdRate). Max 30 alerts/month. Msg&DataChrgs may apply. Reply STOP to end, HELP for info. T&C:sms.plantcml-eads.com”.
Allow 24 hours before Opt-in process completes. To stop or Opt-out, text “Stop” to 34292. Standard texting fees apply.
How to respond
During all activations you will be expected to respond to the message, either through email or phone.
To respond to the email instructions are provided with every activation:
As it states in the beginning of the email, “To respond to this notification, reply with YES in the top of this email.”
DO NOT change the subject line or anything below the first line of the email. Simply click reply, type YES, and hit send.
