5.3.2 SMS Method
ATTENTION:
It is necessary to set monitoring station phone number on alarm system for
SMS
method. In such case you can
use any number (one digit is enough).
By this method the communicator receives
Ademco Contact ID®
protocol data sent from alarm system and converts it to user-un-
derstandable text which is sent to preset user (-s) by SMS message.
Set the following ET082 parameters using
ELDES Configuration Tool
software:
1. Switch to
Advanced
mode by enabling
Backup Enabled
parameter.
2. Select
SMS
method as
Primary
connection.
3. Set
Backup 1
and
Backup 2
connections if required.
4.. Add user phone number (-s).
5. Configure
Ademco Contact ID®
data message structure if required.
For more details, please, refer to
ELDES Configuration Tool
software’s HELP section.
If PSTN connection is used, the communicator also monitors the voltage (dial tone monitoring optional) on the PSTN and in case
the PSTN is unavailable, disconnected or cut off (voltage drops below 4V), ET082:
• switches to
SMS
method,
• notifies the preset user (-s) by SMS message about PSTN failure,
• continues sending the converted
Ademco Contact ID®
by SMS message to preset user (-s) until the PSTN is restored.
NOTE:
In case of
SMS
method failure the communicator switches to
Backup 1
and
Backup 2
connections (if set) respectively and
attempts to continue transmitting data to monitoring station until the previous connection (-s) is restored.
