1 General operation of the GSM Gate Control Pro
The
GSM Gate Control Pro
module was basically designed for control of electric gates and
barriers, however it can be used to control other devices as well. Controlling can be
performed according to the configured control mode by making a phone call to the SIM card
installed into the module and/or over the internet, using the smartphone application. During
the installation you can choose out of 5 control modes the one which is appropriate for your
application. In case of controlling by call, the system uses caller identification to identify the
caller/user. Since to identify the caller and perform the control is enough to identify the caller
ID, the system rejects the call, thereby the call will be free of charge. However, it is possible
that the GSM service provider applies call set-up fee top rejected calls (this is operator-
dependent, please ask your GSM service provider). When calling from an authorized phone
number, the module rejects the call and activates the appropriate output(s), and stores the
event in the event log. When controlling by smartphone application, the system identifies the
user by the identifier of the smart device, which can be read from the Gate Control
smartphone application.
Depending on the variant, the system supports up to 20 or 1000 users to which different
permissions and access periods, as well as custom access rules can be assigned.
The access periods can be configured by access templates which can be assigned to users.
The system will accept control commands from the given user within the access period and
will reject them when out of the period.
The services to be activated on the SIM card installed into the
Gate Control Pro
device
should be chosen according to which services of the device you wish to use. For usage with
the smartphone application and for the functions that use e-mail sending mobile internet
service is necessary. The functions that use SMS sending need SMS service and the ones
that use calls require GSM voice call service. For accessing the Internet the SIM card
should use a public APN.
Attention!
If you do not connect the gate
’s position limit switch to the
Gate Control Pro
device, the system will not have information about the open/closed state of the gate. In this
case the alternative control options (remote controller, pushbutton, etc.) used parallel with
the module may cause malfunctions, since the module will not be notified about opening and
closing the gate with e.g. a remote controller.
1.1 Data traffic
The expected data traffic of the SIM card installed into the
Gate Control Pro
device at
minimal usage may reach even up to ~20 MB per month. The data traffic rate depends on
the frequency of use, the stability of the mobile network and the used services. The services
using data traffic, such as control by smartphone application, remote programming, remote
download of event logs, remote firmware update, sending of emails and reports, all
contribute to the increase of
the SIM card’s data traffic. The extent of the data traffic
increase depends on how frequent and for how long the mentioned services are used.
Depending on the usage, the data traffic may reach the multiple of the amount mentioned
for minimal usage.
