SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
The Art.2270 GSM module is designed to work on the same technology as mobile phones and also interface with the VX2200 digital
2 wire bus system. It enables a call to be made from an entry point (door, gate etc.) to any telephone number (mobile or land line). It
connects directly to the 2 wire bus (L and - databus) and is compatible with the full range of VX2200 intercom panels both functional
and digital and because of this flexibility it can be integrated into small or large VX2200 digital systems that also comprises of Videx
audiophones (e.g. Art.3171 etc.) and videophones (e.g. Art.6272 etc.).
It is possible to program up to 180 users where programming is carried out using phones ID’s with each programmed phone ID able
to call four telephone numbers (if the first is busy or not answered, the call can be diverted to up to three different numbers). The GSM
module works on either a 2G or 3G network. Features of the system include:
• Program up to 180 users (phone ID’s 1 to 180) each with 4 programmable telephone numbers (primary and 3 diverts).
• 3 dry contact relay outputs (relay 1, 2 and 3).
• 3 switched 0V auxiliary inputs (A1, A2 and A3).
• 3 programmable automated SMS messages triggered by the auxiliary inputs.
• Apartment alarm signal on the
L
and
-
databus which can activate the relays and/or send an SMS message to the master number.
• Dial to Open facility for each relay output (this feature enables up to 1000 stored numbers (000 - 999) per relay to dial into the
GSM module, the module will not answer these calls, but will activate the corresponding relay without being charged for the
call).
• Programmable timeband facility.
• Micro USB connection (for ease of programming using the GSMSK PC software).
• RS485 bus connection (for ease of programming using the GSMSK PC software).
• Integrated bootloader function (for updating the module’s firmware via the GSMSK PC software).
• Event logging system (which can record up to 8000 events).
Programming of the telephone numbers and the additional features can be carried out via text messaging (refer to pages 24 to 33) or
PC using the GSMSK PC software (refer to the
GSMSK_66251720_EN_V1-3
software manual or later version).
SIM CARD SELECTION
A SIM card is required for this product but not supplied by Videx.
The Art.2270 GSM module can only accept a standard size SIM card
(refer to the following SIM card size chart), both a micro-SIM and nano-SIM are not suitable. It is recommended to choose the SIM card
which has the best coverage for the area in which the intercom panel will be installed. Both contract and ‘Pay as you go’ SIM cards can
be used, however if using a ‘Pay as you go’ we would recommend setting up an automatic top up to avoid running short on credit and
losing the use of the intercom panel. Alternatively if you already have a contract mobile phone it should be possible to get a second
SIM card and telephone number on the existing account. For more information contact the SIM card provider or visit their web sites.
