Plink GPRS
The GSM/GPRS module is capable of communicating with the monitoring station
receiver by GPRS or SMS channels.
The GPRS channel is always enabled. If it fails, the GPRS module will try to
communicate via SMS.
Limited (default)
– Plink uses GPRS only when the wired Ethernet channel is not
functional, and for event and film reports (keep-alive and NTP mechanism will not use
the GPRS channel).
Unlimited
– Plink uses GPRS only when the wired Ethernet channel is not functional,
and for any other purpose.
Disable
– Plink does not use GPRS for event reports, film reports, or the home
automation app.
4.6.3 Configuring event reporting to monitoring stations
The PowerMaster-360R 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 Cellular i.e. 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 IP addresses, 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 System
Not-Used.
