Programming 

 

TIP

: The GSM unit programming is by sending SMS text messages to the unit from a phone. 

 

Step 1: Check Reception 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
TIP:

 If reception levels are low, take action now! Either increase the height of the antenna to 

improve reception or request a higher gain antenna from your distributor or change to another 
network which may have better coverage. 

 
Step 2: Programming dial out numbers 

 
Programing text messages must start with a pass code string, followed by a command, followed 
by data, and each command is separated in the SMS by #. 
To begin, program the unit to dial numbers when the call button is pressed. This module will dial 
up to 3 telephone numbers in sequence. 

*12*1234#

TIP… 

11

 = Telephone number 1. 

12

 = Telephone number 2. 

13

 = Telephone number 3. 

 
 
 
 
 

 
 
E.g. 

*12*1234#

11

firstnumber

#

12

secondnumber

#

13

thirdnumber

#

 

 
 

Send the SMS 

*20#

 as shown, to the SIM card 

number of the intercom. The unit should reply with a 
reception level between 1 and 31. 

*20# 

Signal 

level = 19 

1-12

Poor

13-20

Medium

21-31

Good

 

Note: Reception levels below 14 can give problems with the 
relay operation, and poor quality audio, or no audio coming 
from the microphone on the intercom (the person on the 
phone cannot hear anything), or buzz on the loud speaker.

 OK 

The phone image shows an example of a number being 
stored and the reply sent by the unit to confirm OK. 
Up to 3 numbers can be sent in a single SMS. The pass 
code only needs entered at the beginning of each message, 
and then each new command string is separated by #.
