The SMS Alert will respond to step 5 by sending its status back to you (e.g. RELAY ON B---------------, #0
#0). Ensure the character “B” appears in the SMS to
show user B is loaded. The string means the
following:
B---------------
Only user B is loaded.

b

2. Use

only with the following 2 commands:
a. 1234
TC

How to program the SMS Alert to report to a 2
nd
, 3
rd
or 4
th
up to 8
cellphones
(RELAY ON
B---------------
, #0 #0)
There are 8 users (recipients): B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I. Follow step 5 of Quick Start Steps to activate user B which is the
first user. If you want the SMS Alert to report to the 2
nd
cellphone, SMS
1234
c
from the second cellphone to the
SMS Alert. To toggle this feature
off
, SMS
1234 c
again from any cellphone to the SMS Alert. The last phone that
toggled a user
on
, becomes that user.
E.g: 1234 c
(There
must be one space
between
1234
and
c
, and no spaces afterwards. Do the same for
1234 d
(3
rd
), and
1234 e
(4
th
). User B must be
on
for the other users (if loaded) to also receive SMS messages.
1234 t
(Technician mode)
This will load the cell phone number from where this SMS is sent as the Technician. Only this number is now
loaded for testing/reporting so that not all the users receive SMSe. To disable/toggle off this mode SMS
1234 t
again.
New function to add cellphone numbers:
In conjunction with the current method of loading numbers the following command allow users to be loaded from
one point/cellphone. This eliminates the need to send a SMS from each cellphone handset that needs to be added.
When a DOT and phone number is placed after the current command, the phone number will be loaded into that
position. The return SMS will be sent to the new cellphone number, not the cellphone number that loads it. You can
however check if all the numbers are loaded, by sending
1234 r
to the cellphone number of the SMS Alert.
Example: To load 27821231234 into User B, send the following SMS from one cellphone, to the cellphone number
of the SMS Alert:
1234 b.27821231234
(only use 1234 b,c etc., with no phone number if it is not a remote number)
or
1234 e.27821231234
If a user is already loaded, then the command will first delete it (toggle off). It then needs to be sent again. The
international setting must be activated for use outside of SA before this can be done (not tested). If it fails, then
revert back to the current method. Applicable to the GSM module marked Version 2.5 and up.
Please keep track which user is loaded as B, C, D etc. Otherwise all users/numbers will be deleted when
you want to load or delete users, and you cannot remember which person is assigned as which user.
