G 3800 X036 Operation Manual

As it can be seen, it is possible to use either the channel reference directly (eg F4) or to use the descriptive text
defined for that channel.
The only channel types whose outputs are actually controlled directly ON or OFF by the SMS command are
the Toggle and Realtime channels. For push-button, Timer, Master, Roller Blind, Alarm Reset and
Acknowledge channels, an SMS ON-command will initiate a pulse on the channel and thereby be able to
trigger a function (eg a Master function or logic function). In this way, it is avoided that non-resettable channel
activations appear. An SMS OFF-command to these channels may not ensure that the channel output is turned
off, since the output of the channel is also controlled by transmission on the channel.
All other channel types cannot be controlled via SMS.
Note: The selected country language for on and off can be used as commands. However, we recommend the
user to use the English terms “ON” and “OFF”.
5.3. SMS Control commands and Requests for Dupline data
Commands for control or triggering of channel functions can be sent to the Mastergenerator via messages.
Also, it is possible to send an SMS to the Mastergenerator with request for channel status.
The Mastergenerator will then answer by sending back an SMS with the requested data. The format of the
SMS commands and requests is shown in the example below:
With password option
Controlling command
Example
Password, Channel, argument
1234,F4,on
1234,F4,on
1234,Alarm reset,on
Request Command
Example
Password, Channel,?
1234,F3,?
1234,Siren,?
Without password option
Controlling command
Example
Channel, argument
F4,on
Alarm reset,on
Request Command
Example
Channel,?
F3,?
Siren,?
NB: When using controlling commands on a channel, which is also configured to send a message when
changing status, the message will also be sent to the GSM phone.
Not all channel types can be controlled.
