1.8 Programming the target phone numbers
Before you can start programming a valid SIM card from a cellular phone provider
must be inserted in the module.
The PIN for the card that is used
must be changed to 0000 before
it is inserted.
The PIN query function must
be activated.
All call forwarding functions
and the mailbox must be
deactivated.
The comfort functions of the
card must be deactivated.
( callback on busy, reminders
via SMS, etc.)
When the card is inserted
GSM-pro must be de-energised.
The card must be valid for
roaming if it is also to be
used in foreign countries.
SIM card used:
In order to use the GSM module, you need the SIM card of a mobile phone supplier. We recommend
using a card from T-mobile or Vodafone. However, cards from other suppliers are also generally suitable.
Since pre-paid cards do not result in monthly charges, these cards are ideal for the purpose. The current
credit on the card is transferred with each SMS. When choosing a pre-paid card, make sure that it does
not have to be removed from the device in order to top up the credit but can be topped up from another
mobile phone or ATM etc.
Saving the number of the GSM module:
In order to assign the number quickly when there is an alarm message, you should assign it to a name, as
with every other entry in the address book of your telephone. Since you may also have to access the num-
ber quickly, you should ideally label it ALARM, then it will be stored at the beginning of your address book.
If you write alarm in the following way, it will always be at the top of the list: AAlarm. The number must
always be stored with the country code (e.g. +44 for the UK) in order to access it from abroad.
Controlling by SMS or phone call:
Each SMS sent by the GSM module results in costs which depend on your network carrier. If you control
the system by SMS or phone call, this always produces a status SMS.
