Programming Tips

PIN Required for any Configuration Text

The PIN is used each time a configuration change needs to be made. Each configuration command
must be finished with a full stop.
i.e. #[PIN][space]Ph1:number=0123456789[dot]

Clear An Individual Phone Number

i.e. #[PIN][space] Ph2:number=.
We recommend that you do this if a staff member leaves and you will not need to replace that
person in the list.

Replace An Individual Phone Number

i.e. #[PIN][space] Ph2:number=027456789[dot]
If you wish to replace a number, simply send a new configuration message containing the position in
the list i.e. Ph2 and the new number. This number will now have all the previous persons escalations
and control permissions. You can send a text containing 'Inputs' or 'Outputs' to check which
escalations or control permissions are assigned to this number.

Clear All Settings

To clear all configuration settings and restore factory defaults, send the text: #[PIN][space] Defaults
Use this to clear all programming.

Output Permissions Default

If you do not program the phone numbers for an output then each person (Ph1 – Ph4) will
automatically have permission to send control commands to the output.

Empty Configuration Values

As per the example above to clear an individual phone number, it is valid to specify an empty value -
this might be useful if you want to prevent all phones from being able to control an output. e.g.
#12345 RLY1:phones = .

Active Alarm Interruption

After any configuration changes the SMS Lite will reinitialise all active alarm state information –
check there are no active alarms before reconfiguration as the process will be halted. By sending
'Status' to the SMS Lite you can see the status of any of the inputs or outputs, this can help identify if
the alarm escalation has been interrupted by a configuration change.

Error Message

If you get an error message from the SMS Lite, check the previous message you sent. Key things to
check are the PIN, object or item spelling, there are no spaces in the names, or the full stop may be
missing. Correct the error and re-send.

Case Sensitivity

The messages are not case sensitive, but the capitalisation of any names you configure will be
retained.
