Figure 4-22: Connecting a GSM modem
Function
It is possible to establish a cellular connection to the system using a GSM modem. This application is intended
for mobile use. It is also interesting to trigger a call in case of an alarm with this application. The GSM modem
provides a discrete input for this, which can trigger e.g. a short message (SMS) (depending on the network pro-
vider, it can also be possible to send a fax message).
Different actions can be performed 'online' using the ToolKit application software, which is delivered on the CD-
ROM with the control. These actions include:
•
Configuration
•
Visualization
•
Transfer settings to and from the hard drive
Preconditions for this Example
•
easYgen-2000
•
DPC (Direct Configuration Cable)
•
Straight
serial cable for connecting the DPC with the GSM modem
•
Wireless modem INSYS GSM 4.2 with antenna (http://www.insys-tec.de)
•
SIM card with data transfer enabled (to be enabled by the GSM provider)
•
PC or notebook with Windows XP or Vista with modem (we recommend to use the Windows standard
driver for older modems (e.g. ELSA Microlink 56k) if the dedicated driver does not work)
•
Application software ToolKit version 3.1 or higher
•
Configuration files available (*.sid, *.wtool)
•
FAX/SMS receiver for receiving alarm messages
NOTE
If a SIM card is used, which is enabled to send SMS messages, an SMS can be sent by the GSM mo-
dem. To establish a data connection, data transfer has to be enabled by the network provider.
NOTE
The INSYS GSM Modem 4.2 has two discrete inputs, which can be used to send two different alarm
messages. One relay of the easYgen is required for each alarm message.
NOTE
The easYgen does not send AT commands to the connected modem. The dispatch of an alarm mes-
sage is performed by the modem after energizing a discrete input.
