5.5 Preparations for remote programming
-
Insert the SIM card into the GM-900 modem.
-
Connect the modem to the USB port of the PC.
-
Start
the
VirtualModem.exe
program.
-
The program installs the necessary virtual serial port automatically at the first start.
-
You can select the preferred language by clicking on the flag icons in the lower right
corner.
-
Select the serial port to which the GSM modem is connected (physical serial port).
-
Check the connection between the PC and the modem by clicking the
“Initialize & Test GT64 modem” button.
-
Select a previously unused COM port ordinal number for the virtual port to be
created.
-
When using DOS based remote programming software (e.g. Espload), select
COM4 or below.
-
Press the “Create Virtual Port” button.
-
The communication of some alarm control panels differ from the normal BELL103
standard. For this, the Bosch V21 and DS7400 options were added. In case of
trying to program an alarm panel of this sort and are encountering connection
problems permanently, then select the corresponding BELL103 mode (Bosch V21
or DS7400).
-
Start the programming software of the alarm control panel (e.g. Espload).
-
Select the created virtual serial port for modem serial port at the modem settings
section in the alarm control panel's programming software.
-
For modem type any of the modems can be selected as experienced so far.
(In case of still detecting fault, select another modem type. E.g. set the Espload or
WinLoad programs as shown on the figures below.)
-
Thereafter you can proceed with the programming using the remote programming
software the same way as using a hardwired BELL 103 modem.
-
The VirtualModem program is essential to run all along the remote programming
procedure. Delete the created virtual port by pressing “Delete port button” and close
the program only after closing the programming software of the alarm control panel.
