Lock X-SMS V2 in event of lost phone
This is the “disabled” mode for use when access to an authorised phone number has
been lost due to theft or misplacement. To activate the lockout send the lockout
command from an authorised phone number. Once in this mode, the SMS Module
will ignore all incoming SMS’s apart from a re-enable command from the same
number that the disable command originated from. There are only two ways to re-
enable a disabled SMS Module: via the re-enable SMS or by physically pressing the
reset switch on the module.

Phone Number Categories
All phone numbers fall into one of three categories, Master, Arming, or Reporting.
Entering phone numbers into the SMS unit is done via SMS’s from a “Master Phone
Number”. In the default state any cell phone can be used to enter the first “Master
Phone Number”, once entered the phone with that cell number must be used to
enter more cell numbers or control the system.
Master Phone Number
Master phone numbers have the highest level of access to the SMS Module.
Master phone numbers are allowed access to all configuration data. Only master
numbers are permitted to add phone numbers to the system.
Arming phone Numbers
Arming phone numbers are permitted enough access to the module to be able to
arm and disarm the Alarm Panel and receive reports.
Reporting Phone Numbers
Reporting phone numbers are only permitted to receive reports from the SMS
module, and to temporarily turn off reporting to that number.
How Phone Numbers relate to User Codes
The SMS module works on the basis of phone numbers, with each phone number
being a user on the SMS module. The SMS module users’ cell numbers are in no way
linked to User Codes on the alarm panel. The SMS module will only accept
commands from known phone numbers and will reject commands from unknown
numbers or numbers not authorised for the command sent.
Any allowed messages are passed to the panel. The panel elects to execute the
command based on the following:

Validity of the user code within the alarm

The properties of the user code within the alarm

The current status of the panel
Therefore, for a person to send a successful command, the following conditions
must be met:

The phone number must be programmed into the X-SMS V2 Unit

The user’s cell phone number must not be hidden

The phone number must be allocated to a group that allows the specified
command

The user code must be programmed into the panel

The user code properties must be enabled for the specified command

The action must be possible in the current panel status

The command string must be correct with all the required information
The “Add” command is sent to add a new authorised phone number to the SMS
Module. You must specify whether the new phone number is a Master Phone
Number, User Phone Number or a Reporting Phone Number. The cell phone owners
name can be associated to the number being added.

added to the X-SMS V2 unit with what functions are enabled for each number.
Desired Action Code Command Ext. Command Data

reporting messages, either by phone number or name if a name has been associated
to a number.

Missed Call Function
There is a new feature in the XSMS that allows one to call the number of the SIM
card in the XSMS unit, and have it perform a specific customized command. Once
the Xsms unit has received a call and confirmed it is an authorised number it will
disconnect the call, (Unauthorised numbers will not be disconnected). If an
authorised number was detected the Xsms module will execute the command
associated to the missed call function. No confirmation sms will be sent. If the
command is not executed a sms will be sent to the cell number that initiated the
missed call.
The following list of commands can be associated to the missed call function:
Arming / Disarming, Triggering programmable outputs and bypassing / un-bypassing
zones.
