Configuration
8.4 Initial data reset procedure
Used to restore the initial settings of the GSM-BUS Communicator
To activate the procedure, take the following steps:
1 Start with the GSM-BUS communicator off (Communicator not powered and without batteries or with flat
batteries)
2 Insert the “jumper” highlighted with number 8 in the “front view”
3 Power up the GSM-BUS communicator: the
“ON”
LED blinks to indicate the phase of initializing the GSM-
BUS communicator
4 After the initialization phase, the initial data reset procedure is activated: the operation is highlighted by the
“ ” LED blinking
5 After the initial data reset procedure, the “ ” LED stays off and the communicator start-up procedure is
restarted: from point 3 of the “Start-Up Procedure” chapter
IMPORTANT: After the initial data reset procedure, remove the jumper for initial data reset from the
relevant contacts. If the jumper stays inserted in the contacts, each time the communicator is restart-
ed, the initial data would be restored, losing the data of any configurations made.
8.5 Using SMS
It is possible to send SMS text messages for configuration, control and requests to the GSM-BUS
Communicator as follows:
<code>.<sms_content>/<sms_content>/...
where:
•
<code>
is the user code;
• is the information separator
•
<sms_content>
depends on the function you want to actuate
•
/
is the separator for configurations, commands, multiple requests
If the GSM-BUS Communicator receives SMS messages with the right user code but with errors in the content,
it will send an error SMS message containing the incorrect text and an indication of the command (or com-
mands) with the incorrect content
Example Suppose you want to send an SMS message with 4 commands of which the first and last are incor-
rect The GSM-BUS Communicator will send an error SMS message with the following form:
GSM-BUS 1/1
<SMS received from the GSM Communicator containing the 4 commands>
Error on command/s:
1 4
In the case of SMS messages with multiple commands requiring an answer, the GSM-BUS Communicator is
able to send at most 8 SMS messages in response
