The JA-82Y GSM communicator
The communicator is a component of the Jablotron Oasis 80 system. It has been
designed for communication via a GSM network. It is installed directly within the
OASIS control panel housing and it allows the following:
event reporting by SMS (for up to 8 telephone numbers)
event reporting by phone call with voice message warnings (it is possible to
record up to 7 messages for various events)
remote control and programming by phone (by calling and using the voice
menu or by SMS instructions)
remote control of the system (or appliances in the house) by dialling in from
an authorized number (free of charge )
remote control and programming of the system via the Internet (
It is not
possible to register the communicator on www.gsmlink.cz)
data transmission to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) - up to 2 ARCs
sending photos from JA-84P detectors to a secure server
updating communicator firmware, language and new text sets using OLink
2.0 software or higher
1. Installation in the control panel
If you purchased the communicator module separately, it should first be installed in
the OASiS control panel as follows:
The control panel
power must be switched o
ff (both mains and battery)
Fit the communicator inside the control panel housing using screws and
connect
its cable
to the main board.
Attach the adhesive GSM antenna inside the control panel’s plastic housing (it can
be glued in a suitable place) and connect the antenna to the communicator.
Warning: never switch the control panel power on if the GSM antenna is not
connected to the GSM module as this will cause serious damage!!!

2. Initial powering up of the communicator
1.
The communicator is installed in the control panel and its GSM
antenna is connected, then:
2.
Have a suitable SIM card ready
. It should be activated (see if it works
in a mobile phone first). If it requires a PIN code when switching the
phone on,
then disable the PIN code request upon the first use of
the phone
); e.g. Nokia: Menu / Settings / Security settings / PIN code
request / Off. The communicator can work with a prepaid card, but we
recommend using a tariff card for more reliable functioning
3.
Insert the SIM card
into the communicator (to open the card holder
push its frame up a little)
4.
Switch on the control panel power (both mains and battery). The
commu
nicator’s red LED should be lit = registering to the GSM
network;
it should go off within a minute = registration successful
5.
If the red LED starts flashing after a while, switch off the control panel
power, put the SIM card into a mobile phone and check that it registers
to the network in the place where the control panel is installed without
any PIN code requests
6.
Close the control panel cover
, the alarm system should be in Service
mode - if it is not, enter *0 Service code (Factory default setting: 8080)
with the alarm system unset (disarmed)
7.
Key in
99101
- to set the
texts
and voice messages of the
communicator
to the English language
8.
Key in 888 to measure the GSM signal strength (a number in the range
from 1/4 to 4/4 should be displayed). It should be at least 2/4 to ensure
reliable functioning. If the signal is weak, change the location of the
control panel or try a SIM card from another GSM provider (it is not
recommended to use either a high-gain or directional GSM antenna
–
see 6.2 GSM signal strength measuring)
9.
If the GSM signal strength is sufficient, test the communicator functions
(system control via a mobile phone, etc), see the instructions below
Warning: If installed at a location near a national border where the signal
strength fluctuates, roaming to a foreign network is highly likely. We
therefore recommend blocking the roaming feature in the SIM card to avoid
unnecessarily high communication fees (contact your GSM provider for
details).
3. User functions of the communicator
The following text describes all communicator features. The installer should show
the end user how to operate the functions used in the particular installation.
3.1.
Event reporting to the user’s phone
The communicator reports events in the OASiS system by sending a text SMS
and / or calling and transmitting a voice message. Reporting can be set to up to 8
telephone numbers. The most frequently used report variants are preset but they
can be customized
Notes:
If used, transmissions to the Alarm Receiving Centre have absolute
transmission priority (see 7.4).
Calling is usually used to draw the user’s attention to a detailed report sent in
an SMS. If reporting by SMS is enabled, the communicator first sends all SMS
messages before it starts dialling the set numbers.
Message playing can be terminated by pressing * on the telephone keypad.
The keypad then switches into keypad simulation mode and the messages are
not further transmitted to other numbers.
3.2. Temporarily authorizing a phone as a system keypad
It is possible to operate the system remotely by temporarily authorizing a phone
keypad as follows:
Dial the communicator’s SIM card number.
After 15 seconds of ringing, the system will answer with a voice menu welcome
message and ask for a code.
Key in a valid control panel access code on the telephone keypad
–the master
code (default 1234), a user code or possibly the service code (default 8080).
Once the code has been entered, the voice menu offers the basic system functions
(see 10).
To exit this mode simply end the phone call. If nothing is entered within a minute,
the phone call will end automatically anyway.
The maximum allowed phone call length is 30 minutes.
Notes:
a fixed-line phone can also be used to operate the system remotely in the
same way. The phone must use tone dialling (DTMF).
do not enter sequences on the phone too fast
, each key signal needs a
certain time to be sent (it depends on the particular phone and the quality of the
GSM connection
3.3. SMS instructions to control the system remotely
All incoming SMSes are checked by the communicator and if there are any
instructions to the system, they will be performed. Each instruction message must
have the following format::
code_instruction
(i.e. valid code space instruction)
Valid code = any valid code in the system (e.g. 8080, 1234)
The factory-default instruction texts (editable
– see TXT command)
Command
Function
Note
SET
setting (arming)
setting or unsetting (the same way as if the
used code is entered on the system keypad),
If the system is already in the desired mode,
it will not change
UNSET
unsetting
(disarming)
STATUS
reports system
status
including GSM signal strength, GPRS
connection and ARC communication (shown
as MS1, MS2 and MS3)
MEMORY
reports latest
events
this concerns the last 3 events from the
control panel memory
PGX ON
turns on PGX
the PG output has to be programmed for the
function: on/off (by 237/247) or 2 second
switching (by 238/248)
PGX OFF
turns off PGX
PGY ON

CREDIT
SIM card credit
inquiry
it has to be initialized before it can be used

DINFO
SMS info about
device version
SMS on assembly, firmware, and hardware
versions, reg. key, remote access code via
OLink
Tab. 1 SMS commands
Example by sending: “code SET” (valid code space SET) the system will set (if it is
already set it will not change its status)
Notes:
the system will confirm performance of the SMS instruction by an SMS reply, if
this function is allowed
the SMS instruction texts are not case-sensitive and only ASCII characters are
allowed
the SMS instruction texts can contain multiple instructions separated with a comma
if you are sending an instruction and you are not sure whether any other text
will be automatically added to the SMS (for example, when using an SMS
internet gate) type the instruction as: %code instruction%%
the valid code can also be entered automatically, see 6.6.
