GSM KEEP ALIVE
every 28 days
Some GSM Service providers tend to disconnect the GSM connection if the user has not
initiated any outgoing telephone calls during the last 28 days.
To prevent from disconnecting the GSM connection, you can configure the system to generate
a "keep alive" GSM call every 28 days sending a test message either to the first SMS number
(if exists) or alternatively first private telephone number.

3.6.4 Configuring Events Reporting to Monitoring Stations
The PowerMaster control panel is designed to report alarm, alerts, troubles and other events and messages to two
Monitoring Stations C.S.1 and C.S.2 via PSTN telephone line, Cellular i.e. GSM voice (analog), GPRS (IP) & SMS or
Broadband IP communications channels. In this section, you configure and define all parameters and features required
for the reporting of the event messages to Monitoring Stations such as:
•
The events reported to each of the two Monitoring Stations C.S.1 and C.S.2 and corresponding backups.
•
The communication means (channel) used for the reporting and the backup means (channel) in case of failure.
•
The customer's (subscriber) account number(s) to be reported to each monitoring station.
•
The telephone numbers, IP addresses and SMS numbers and reporting formats of the corresponding alarm receivers
at the two Monitoring Stations C.S.1 and C.S.2 and the number of reporting retry attempts in case of failure to report.
•
The communication Auto Tests and communication Fail reports.
•
The reporting of certain system function events such as "Confirmed Alarm", "Recent Close", Zone Restore" and

If the system is equipped also with Cellular communicators, you must define which of the
communicating channels (i.e. Cellular or PSTN) the system will use as the main channel (i.e. 1
st
priority) for reporting event messages to Monitoring Stations, and if the main channel fails, which
channels will be used for the 2
