User features of the GSM dialer
The installed GSM dialer offers many useful features described in detail
below, or briefly in table 11. A synopsis is available on the user card.
The installer should properly demonstrate the use of the system to the
user after installation.
2.1 Phone calls from the attached telephone set
After the GSM module is connected to the GSM network, an attached
SMS phone can be used to make calls. If you pick up the phone, you will
hear a dial tone. Simply dial the number you want to call (as if you are
dialing from a normal fixed line phone). You can also dial the GSM
communicator’s phone number from another phone, and its attached phone
will ring as a normal land line phone would. If it is necessary to
communicate with CMS the call from the attached phone will be terminated
in 10 minutes.
If there is a busy tone on the attached telephone set, either the line you
are calling is busy, or the GSM communicator is busy with previous
communication at that moment (for example data transfer to the monitoring
station).
You can also use the attached phone keypad to operate the alarm
system. By pressing the
#
key, you can toggle the keypad from telephone
mode to alarm system control mode.
Note: some telephone sets are sensitive to the GSM radio signal. For
this reason you may hear a characteristic noise in the telephone
receiver when calling. If the noise is disturbing, change the location of
the phone set (try to keep it as far as possible from the GSM dialer
antenna). Usually it is possible to find a suitable location for the phone
with a minimal level of interference.
2.2 Remote control of the alarm system by telephone
A system equipped with a GSM dialer can be remotely controlled. From a
mobile phone there are two possibilities – either by text instructions sent by
SMS or by dialing-in and operating the system via the phone keypad which
will operate in the same way as the alarm system keypad. The dialing-in
method can also be done from an ordinary landline telephone set.
The following description matches the factory default settings of the
communicator. The described features can be greatly modified in the
programming mode – see part 4.
2.3 General rules for remote control by SMS instructions
SMS instructions can be sent from a mobile phone or from an SMS
website.
In SMS, letters are not case-sensitive. Only the basic English alphabet
is accepted by the communicator.
All SMS instruction words must be separated by a space.
If the % is used all previous text will be ignored. The %% symbol when
used in SMS text ends processing – all the following text will be
ignored. It is recommended to use this symbol at the end of the
instruction if the provider sends some additional text after your
message (advertisements etc.).
Warning: if any incoming SMS includes except a valid system
command any extra text which is not separated by % or %%
symbols the command will not be executed
Examples of SMS:
“Hi, this text will be ignored even if I write ME % MO %% Thank
you” –
Only MO command will be executed
“Hi, MO” –
Command in the SMS will be ignored because there is
an extra text
The default command texts can be customized by an installer (see
4.2.2). For example the instruction AUXON can be changed to
SWITCH ON HEATING etc.
2.4 Arming by SMS (AM xxxx)
The command
AM
followed with a valid access code can be used to
arm the alarm system. If the system is already armed, the command will
ave no effect. SMS text to be sent to the dialer:
AM
∗
xxxx
h
xxxx
is a valid alarm system access code (Master or user).
∗
separating character, which can be replaced by a space
Example: Sending AM 1234 will arm the system, which is equivalent to
using code 1234 for arming by keypad
Notes:
According to the default setting, the system confirms command
execution with a corresponding SMS reply
If it is impossible to arm the system – for example if it is in programming
mode, you will be notified about the situation by an SMS reply
If the alarm system is split, the instruction will effect the section which
belongs to the access code used
*
If arming without a code is enabled on the control panel, the AM
command can be used without any access code. In this case the
command performs the same action as the keys F 1 pushed on a
keypad.
2.5 Disarming by SMS (DM xxxx)
Command
DM
followed with a valid access code will disarm the system.
If the system is already disarmed, the command will have no effect. SMS
ext to be sent to the communicator:
DM xxxx
t
xxxx
is a valid alarm system access code (Master or user).
∗
separating character, which can be replaced by a space
Example: Sending DM
∗
1234 will disarm the system, which is
equivalent to entering code 1234 on a system keypad.
Notes:
The system confirms disarming with a corresponding SMS reply
If it is impossible to disarm the system – for example it is in programming
mode, you will be notified about the situation by an SMS reply
If the alarm system is split, the instruction will effect the section which
belongs to the access code used
*
*
If the alarm system is split and a command is used (AM or DM), the user
code will effect the system the same way as if the code had been entered
from the alarm system keypad – no matter if AM or DM is used (will arm if
the system is disarmed and will disarm if the system is armed).
2.6 Mode request by SMS (MO)
Command
MO
can be used to read the current alarm system mode.
The dialer will reply with a reporting SMS to the phone which sent the
MO command about status, level of GSM signal, GPRS status, success
f transferring data to the CMSs. SMS text to be sent to the dialer:
MO
o
Example: If the system is armed, it will reply to the MO instruction with
the SMS: Alarm system reports: Control panel status:
Armed,GSM:7,GPRS OK,MS1 NOT,MS2 OK
Note: if you want to protect this command with a password, set your
own instruction text including the password – see section 4.2.2
2.7 Last event request by SMS (ME)
Instruction
ME
can be used to read the last event recorded in the alarm
system’s memory. The dialer will reply with a reporting SMS. SMS text
o be sent to the dialer:
ME
t
Example: After a fire alarm, it will reply to the ME instruction with the
SMS: Alarm system reports: Last event: Alarm end Control panel Time:
02.06. 19:48
Note: if you want to protect this command with a password, set your
own instruction text including the password – see section 4.2.2.
2.8 Appliance remote control by SMS (AUXON, AUXOFF)
These commands can be used to operate the AUX output (for example
the heating in a house). The dialer confirms command execution with
an SMS reply.
To switch on the AUX output, send SMS text:
AUXON
To switch off the AUX output, send SMS text:
AUXOFF
Example: to switch on heating send SMS: AUXON
Note: texts of these instructions can be customized and protected with
a password – see section 4.2.2. Outputs PgX and PgY can be
controlled by SMS commands PGON and PGOFF.
2.9 Remote programming of the alarm by SMS (yyyyy PRG seq)
Command
PRG
can be used to send programming and operating
sequences to the alarm system. It has the same effect, as if the sequences
had been entered on the alarm system keypad. Type the instruction as:
yyyyy
∗
PRG
∗
seq,seq,seq,
where
yyyyy
is the remote access code; factory default setting is 0000 (4
zeros); the code can be changed, see section 5.4
PRG
is
the command identification
seq
are the programming or operating sequences, consisting of
characters 0 to 9, F, N. There can be more than one sequence in
one SMS. The particular sequences should be separated with a
comma or dot. The number of sequences in one SMS is limited
by the maximum size of the SMS in the GSM network.
∗
separating character, which can be replaced by a space
Example: if the control panel is disarmed and its Installer code is 6060, then
the duration of the alarm can be programmed to 5 minutes and the acoustic
indication of the exit delay can be disabled by sending the following SMS:
0000 PRG F06060,225,330,N
After receiving the SMS command, the control panel will first enter
programming mode (F06060) then sequences 225 and 330 will be
executed and at the end programming mode will be exited (N).
