Cellular SIM Card Voice Call / SMS options
SIM Card Installation
The NT-Evolution 2.0 is designed as a globally capable hybrid security,
monitoring, and satellite tracking system. That said, it does have the option
for a cellular SIM cards to be placed inside the control unit. The GOST
Phantom within the NT-Evolution 2.0 has a built in Quad Band GSM module.
While regular satellite messages will still go out in addition to this cellular
option, the advantages of this addition are that when inside cellular coverage,
the owner/ operator can:
-Arm/Disarm the system via sms or voice call in
-Receive specific alarms via voice call and SMS to up to eight recipients
While this option is not mandatory to meet the needs of Satellite tracking
insurance regulations, it is a nice added option for boats living within cellular
coverage most of the time. If the Owner/ Operator chooses to add it to
system, they simply need to obtain a standard size SIM card from their local
GSM provider. Common carriers include AT&T, T-Mobile, BATELCO, and
ROGERS. Make sure that VOICE and SMS messaging are enabled on the
card and place it inside the NT-Evolution 2.0 Control unit according to the
directions below.
1.) Unscrew the 6
“Pop
-Up
” screws by gingerly pushing down and turning
counter clockwise 90 degrees. The screw will pop up and remain lodged in
cover. Open the cover and you will see the Black GOST Phantom Security
Panel.
2.) Place a small short Philips screw driver on to base of the GOST Phantom
and turn counter clockwise.
3.) Fold the GOST Phantom up from the base, unplug the batterybackup
cable, and remove the top of the GOST Phantom
4.) Once the cover is removed and you are looking at the rear of the GOST
Phantom, you will see the GSM module in the top left corner. Use SIM 1 as
the primary. Place your fore finger on the SIM Card Holder and gingerly
slide downward to unlock allowing the door to hinge out from the base. Slide
an active sim card into the base, gold to the board with the triangle to what
will be the top left corner. Carefully fold the door back in and snap lock up
with your fore finger.
5.) Place the Top of the GOST Phantom back onto the top hinges in the box at
a 45 Degree angle, plug the battery back in, and fold the cover back down.
The unit should power up (if plugged into power). Resecure the sets screws
on the base by turning clockwise. If the power plug is not hooked up, please
do so and allow the active SIM card to aquire.
6.) After a one minute boot up has taken place, take a visual check of the
screen. You should see a signal strength indicator in the top right corner that
displays reception status.
7.) Test the phone by pressing the
“Telephone” button in the top right corner
of the keypad below the screen. Dial your cell phone area code and number
(no need to enter
“1” beforehand). You should receive a call within about 15
seconds. If you receive the call, you are good to proceed to
“Programming
Voice/ SMS messages via SIM Card
” on the next page. If you did not receive
call, see troubleshooting questions in step 9.
