This advanced feature assures continuous communication with
the protected premises. With the addition of a GSM/GPRS
modem, the IPRS-7 software will be able to receive alarm signals
through SMS text messages when GPRS communication is
disrupted. Should the GPRS channel fail to transmit from a
protected premise because of a power outage or internet failure,
a backup SMS will automatically be sent to the IPRS-7 (containing
the same CID information of the reportable event).
Configuring the PCS250 for SMS Backup Reporting
