Positioning The Optional Gsm Module; Inserting The Sim Card - Adesys Octalarm-IP Manual

Positioning the optional GSM module

Before adding a GSM module it is necessary for the alarm to be connected to the
internet and the ACC.
To mount the GSM module proceed as follows:
• Turn of the alarm dialer completely. Follow the instructions given for this on page 39 of
this manual.
• Take the steps necessary to ensure that the equipment is free of static electricity (ESD
proof) before starting work such as unpacking the GSM module.
• Remove the alarm dialer's control panel (cover) by siding it up fully (see page 42) The
ribbon cable between the cover and the main printed circuit can remain connected.
• Align the GSM module's printed circuits' connecting pins with one of the two free
expansion slots. Push the printed circuit carefully into the slot perpendicularly until you
feel it lock in place.
• Connect a GSM antenna and place the SIM card in the SIM slot intended for this.
• Slide the control panel onto the alarm dialer again.
• Turn the alarm dialer on again. (Do not carry out a software update now! That
would permanently damage the alarm.)
• Contact Adesys so that the type change can be carried out via the ACC. Further
instructions will now be sent from Adesys.

Inserting the SIM card

(only GSMmodels)
The Octalarm-IP with GSM module is supplied without a SIM
card. Adesys B.V. is a KPN Business Partner and can supply
SIM cards and mediate in applications for M2M subscriptions.
The SIM slot for the card is located on the GSM piggy-back
printed circuit board next to the antenna connection. Place the
SIM card with the copper contacts on the underside and the
notch on the right-hand side as shown on the illustration. Push
the card down gently so that the contact springs spring in a
little, freeing the card slot.
Prepaid SIM cards
We strongly advise against using prepaid SIM cards in GSM
alarm dialers. The appliance can't check the call credit on the
SIM card or top it up. If there is no credit on the card, the
alarms will stop and this could lead to damage.
In addition, the functionality that is available on a prepaid SIM
card is more limited than with a subscription.
