SMS functions

The phone numbers to which SMS messages are going to be sent and the SMS messages

text, must be stored into the SIM card. To execute this operation use a normal cell phone.

Before programming the SIM card, please erase completely the existing contents that could be

stored into it. Note that the first three (3) SMS messages stored into the SIM card are used for

technical purposes, and are sent automaticly by VECTOR Plus when the respective monitoring

functions are enabled. This messages are:

SMS nr. 1: PSTN line fault.

SMS nr. 2: PSTN line restore

SMS nr. 3: Autotest

NOTE: if one or more of the above technical messages is NOT required, it is possible to store a different

message in the corresponding SIM card space to be sent "by command" as will be described in the

following chapters.

To enable/disable the functions that send technical SMS messages automaticly, two special

numbers must be stored into the SIM card phonebook, that are used to configure the system.

This two numbers has to be associated to the names "1" and "2"

(instead of "Smith" or "Johnson")

The digits included in the number under name "1" determine wheather the three types of

technical SMS messages are to be sent or not, and wheather the technical messages are to be

sent to all the telephone numbers present in the phonebook

or only to the first one. The

(max. 50)

number stored under name "2" indicates the autotest repetition intervall

(in hours: from 0 to 255)

All the telephone numbers to which the SMS messages will be sent must be stored into the SIM

card phone book, keeping in mind that the first number stored has a priority over the rest of the

numbers, because it is the one which technical SMS messages are sent to by default, otherwise

differently specified in configuration parameter "1".

Apart from the technical SMS, that are automaticly sent by VECTOR Plus once they has been

enabled through the configuration numbers, the remaining SMS stored into the SIM card by the

installer to communicate any kind of alarm or status information, can be sent through the

VECTOR Plus interface only in "by command" mode, issuing special DTMF sequences at

terminals Ac - Bc like executing a normal telephone call. Note that, for alarm or status SMS

messages to be sent, it is necessary that VECTOR Plus interface is operating in "GSM mode",

therefore, it is suggested to use an output from the telephone dialler or control panel to force

VECTOR Plus into GSM mode through terminal "GSM", before issuing the proper DTMF

sequence to send the SMS. This is not necessary if the equipment is already functionning in

permanent GSM mode, with terminal "GSM" always connected to negative.
