Initial start-up
Important note: The following description applies for software version V1.10 for the
Processing Unit DK 7320.100, which is the version required to operate the GSM Unit.
§Initial start-up
The following measures are to be taken before the GSM Unit is connected to the
Processing Unit:
a) Insert a SIM card into the SIM card slot of the GSM module. You must possess
the following information pertaining to the SIM card used:
- PIN code: The PIN code serves to enable the SIM card and to authorise it
to log into a GSM network. If you should wish to change the current PIN
code, this can be done by inserting the SIM card into a mobile phone and
then using the functions provided by the phone for this purpose.
- PUK code (recommended), to be able to unlock the SIM card again in case
of problems.
- Subscriber number: The subscriber number of the card must be known in
order to be able to send an SMS to the GSM module.
- Call number of the SMS service centre of your chosen network provider, in
order to be able to send SMS messages.
b) Enter the following data into the Processing Unit via the Hyperterminal or Telnet
menu ´General configuration > SMS configuration´:
- PIN code (4-digit decimal number) of the SIM card
- Call number of the SMS service centre
- Up to 4 phone numbers to which an SMS is to be sent
- In addition, this menu option can be used to specify whether or not an SMS
is to be sent in the case of so-called unit messages (e.g. ´Unit detected´,
´Configuration change´, etc.).
c) For each sensor or output, you can specify the phone number(s) to which an
SMS is to be sent (each status change causes an SMS to be sent). This is done
via the menu option ´Sensor Units > Unit xyz > Sensor abc > Send SMS´. The
actual assignment is performed by entering a string in the form ´1&4´, for
example. In this particular case, a status change for the sensor concerned
would send an SMS to the phone numbers 1 and 4.
You may note, however, that it is also possible to edit and adapt these
specifications at any time later.
IMPORTANT: As with a mobile phone, the SIM card will be locked if an incorrect PIN code is
entered three times in succession. In this case, the card can only be unlocked by entering the
so-called PUK (Personal Unblocking Key). This can be achieved by inserting the SIM card into
a mobile phone and by entering the PUK and a new PIN code when requested to do so.
To avoid this situation, it is imperative to ensure that the correct PIN code is entered in the PU
before connecting the GSM Unit.
