GSM modem (local or remote)
Text messages (SMS) can be sent in two ways:
A)
Local GSM modem
A GSM modem is connected to the Poseidon's RS-232 interface. The modem is powered from its
own adapter or from the 12V power out. An active SIM is inserted in the modem, PIN is disabled.
SMS Center should be retrieved from the SIM after start-up.
B)
Remote GSM modem
Poseidon does not have its own GSM modem. “Serial Port Settings” is set to “Disabled”. To send a
SMS, a GSM modem connected to another P
oseidon unit or the “SMS GW” product is used. Remote
GSM modem has to be accessible online, via „service.xml,“ using address A, usually on port 80
SOAP protocol is used for communication. If the connection is not established or is refused,
Poseidon tries to send the SMS again.
The throughput of the remote GSM modem is limited to 5 SMS per minute for Poseidon units and about
20 SMS per minute for “SMS GW”.
The modem function can be tested by pressing the corresponding button.
The
SMS + Ring When Alarm
option rings the telephone number for 4 seconds after sending the alarm
SMS.
