Miscellaneous settings:
Incoming call from unknown phone number
: in this section you can configure what the device
should do upon a phone call received from a phone number which is not configured in the device
as a user phone number, or a call received with hidden caller ID. You can configure the device to
accept or reject these calls. In case of receiving the call, remote control and status query can be
performed after providing the device password. Independently of the selected option, receiving a
call from an unknown phone number also generates a service event, which you can configure
separately to control the output(s) or send notifications.
SMS forwarding daily limit:
with this setting you can limit the number of SMS messages to be
forwarded per day. When the configured limit is reached, the device will not forward new incoming
SMS messages for 24 hours. After 24 hours the message counter resets automatically, and
incoming messages will be forwarded again up to the configured limit. When the limit is reached,
a service event will be generated, which you can configure separately to control the output(s) or
send notifications. The SMS forwarding daily limit can be disabled and set to unlimited by deleting
the entered value.
Attention!
After reaching the configured limit, but before the message counter resets,
the device deletes all incoming messages without forwarding!
SMS sending daily limit:
with this setting you can limit sending of SMS messages generated by
events. When the configured limit is reached, the device will not send further event-generated
SMS messages for 24 hours. After 24 hours the message counter resets automatically, and SMS
message sending will be enabled again up to the configured limit. When the limit is reached, a
service event will be generated, which you can configure separately to control the output(s) or
send notifications. The SMS sending daily limit can be disabled and set to unlimited by deleting
the entered value.
Daily limit for calls
: with this setting you can limit the number of voice calls generated by events.
When the configured limit is reached, the device will not make further event-generated calls for 24
hours. After 24 hours the call counter resets automatically, and voice calls will be enabled again
up to the configured limit. When the limit is reached, a service event will be generated, which you
can
configure
separately
to
control
the
output(s)
or
send
notifications.
The daily limit for calls can be disabled and set to unlimited by deleting the entered value.
SMS forwarding phone number
: the device forwards the messages received by its SIM card to
the phone number configured in this section (e.g. balance information received from the GSM
service provider in case of pre-pay card). The received messages are deleted automatically after
forwarding. If no phone number is configured, the device deletes all incoming messages without
forwarding.
Forward SMS messages received from users
: if this option is enabled, the device will also
forward SMS messages received from user phone numbers configured in the “
Reporting
channels
” menu (e.g. commands sent to the device via SMS), to the phone number entered in
the “
SMS forwarding phone number
” field. If this option is disabled, the device will only forward
messages received from other phone numbers, but not messages received from users.
Insert timestamp in text-based notifications
: if this option is enabled, the device will insert the
timestamp in each text message at the beginning, which indicates the time of occurrence of the
given event. You can select the date format for the time stamp in the “
System time / Date format
”
section.
