8. Starting the reporting
The module can send to the monitoring station the following event codes:
generated by the module (input violation / restore, telephone line trouble / restore);
received from the alarm control panel connected to the telephone line output;
received from the alarm control panel connected to the RS-232 port.
The module offers the following forms of event code sending to the monitoring station:
GPRS – packet data transmission.
CSD – data transmission.
SMS – SMS messages. If the event code is sent using an SMS message, the module will
not receive the acknowledgement of receipt of the event code by the monitoring station.
Therefore, this reporting link should be used as the last one (see: "Links to MS1 / Links to
MS2" p. 42). In the first place, you should use the reporting links which allow the module to
receive the acknowledgement of receipt of the event code by the monitoring station.
AUDIO – GSM voice link. Only events received from the control panel connected to the
telephone line output can be sent in this way. Considering the distortions that may occur
when sending event codes over the GSM voice link, using this form of transmission is not
recommended.
If the "Events buffer" (see: p. 41) option is enabled, the event codes will not be sent
over the AUDIO link.
The control panel and GSM module can be configured so that the event codes are not
received by the module, but only sent over the analog telephone line or GSM network
(voice link). The control panel must be connected to the telephone line output and the
monitoring station telephone number programmed in it must be different from that
programmed in the module by means of the "MS1 tel.number / MS2 tel.number"
functions (see: p. 43) or the "Reporting" option must be disabled in the module.
8.1 Starting the GPRS reporting
Enable the "Monitoring" option.
Program the system identifier (see: p. 41).
Select GPRS as the reporting link (see " Links to MS1 / Links to MS2" p. 42).
Enable the event buffering, if the events are to be written to the event log and the module
is to acknowledge receipt of events from the control panel before forwarding them to the
monitoring station (see: "Events buffer" p. 41).
If the events buffering option is enabled and the module is to provide information about
problems with transmission, enter the content of SMS message (see: "SMS monit.trbl."
p 43) and telephone number (see: "Mon.trbl.tel.nr" p. 43) to which the information will be
sent.
Enter the GPRS communication parameters (see: p. 32):
name of access point (APN) for the Internet GPRS connection;
DNS server IP address which is to be used by the module (you do not need to
program the DNS server address, if IP address will be entered for the monitoring
station);
user name for the Internet GPRS connection;
password for the Internet GPRS connection.
