6. Preparing SIM card
Please ensure:
The SIM must operate on the GSM (2G) network.
Most network providers provide 2G cover, check
with your supplier.
There is credit on the SIM (we recommend automatic top-ups)
The SIM is not PIN protected
The SIM is set to disable voicemail
Avoid SIM cards that deactivate automatically if the SIM is not used often
(usually after3 months
inactivity). If you’re SIM will do this and if you’re G031 is likely to be unused for long periods of time;
send the G031 an update request periodically to keep the SIM card active.
Register the SIM card; ensure there is sufficient credit on the SIM card for programming confirmation
texts to be sent from G031 module.
The PIN request option should be disabled from the SIM card before inserting it into the G031 module. To
check the PIN request status of your SIM card, place the card in an unlocked mobile phone and switch
the phone on. If normal calls can be made without entering a PIN number, then it is disabled. Please also
make sure voicemail is disabled before inserting the SIM card into the module.
If a ‘pay as you go’ (PAYG) SIM card is used, it is recommended that users choose to automatically ‘Top-
Up’ when the credit falls below a certain limit. Some PAYG SIM cards will be de-activated by the network
if they are not used to make an outgoing voice call or send an SMS text message within a specific period.
To prevent this, simply send the G031 a text for example ‘
DQSJ
’ (this can be done through the APP) and
G031 will reply with the local time by text message. This should be done periodically to keep the SIM
card active if required by your SIM provider.
6.1.Insert SIM into the SIM card slot
1. Write down SIM number before inserting into the G031
2. The SIM card should be inserted into the SIM card slot before applying the power.
3. Power Up
(See next chapter)
6.2.Registration of Main SIM Controller
Users can setup the authorized telephone numbers within G031. The controller will verify the incoming
number if they are indexed in the registered SIM numbers, then the G031 controller will hang up and then
execute the actions.
The following steps are required to configure G031 for first time use:
Insert the SIM card into controller box
Power up and hold reset button for 10 seconds
Within ten minutes of resetting Text ‘
88888888
’ by SMS to the G031 controller. If successful, the user
will receive the message ‘
Your phone has been registered’
. This command should be received
within the first
10 minutes
after powering up G031, otherwise the message
‘registered Disabled’
will
be received. If this happens reset.
