Configuration of the terminal
The terminal may be configured using dial codes or commands entered via SMS. Some commands
are only available via SMS and some SMS commands have both a configuration code version and
an easier to remember text version.
Commands by DTMF codes (dialled on phone)
The command is prefixed with *8 then the command number then * followed by the parameter or
value then terminated by #
Example 1:
*83*4#
- sets the configuration register 3 with the value 4.
Example 2:
*83*4#*84*1#
- sets the configuration register 3 with the value 4 and register 4 with 1.
If a command is successful, two beeps are sounded on the handset. If there is an error, one long
beep is sounded. If there is an error, re-enter the correct code.
Command syntax for SMS
The first 4 characters must be the terminal PIN (default is 1234). This is then followed by the
command(s). For example
1234 cfg3=4
If one or more space characters are used after the PIN, they will be ignored.
Commands are not case sensitive for example
1234 cfg3=4
or
1234 Cfg3=4
or
1234 CFG3=4
are all
valid.
All commands that do not implicitly require a response are automatically replied to with a summary of
the terminal status. This automatic reply may be suppressed by placing a stop character after the pin
number. For example,
1234. Cfg1=3
will change the configuration without replying. An error in the
command will always result in a reply. The reply is either sent to the number that sent the command
or if a colon is used after the PIN, the reply will be sent to the number specified by
PNUM11
. For
example,
1234: cfg3=2
.
If the colon is used and PNUM11 is not programmed, no reply will be sent.
Examples of command types:
Execute:
1234 STAT
Will execute the status command
.
Write:
1234 CFG3=4
Writes the value 4 to the configuration register 3
.
Read:
1234 CFG3?
Reads the currently set value in configuration register 3
.
Commands may be concatenated by entering a semicolon delimiter for example
CFG3=4;CLOCK
To read multiple parameters, a suffix wild card may be used, for example:
CFG*?
.
When writing new values with the
CFGn
and
PNUMn
commands, multiple parameters may be
entered by concatenation using a comma separator.
Example 1:
1234 CFG3=4,2=1,5=1
Example 2:
1234 PNUM0=+448700762666,11=+44712345678
Example 3:
1234 CFG3=4,2=1,5=1;PNUM0=+448700762666
