FAAC Jcall Quick Installer's Manual

GSM system for the remote operation and management of access automation systems
1. Introduction
Jcall is an access control system that uses a simple ring from a mobile phone. Enabled users (whose phone number has already
been entered in the system) can operate the Jcall controlled automated access system by a ring from their mobile phone,
without charge.
The system allows you to specify different access permissions by organising users into groups. Each group is associated with a
contact to be activated, daily time bands, months of the year, expiry date and the enable flag. The system records all the
accesses and events for the last thirty days in its permanent memory.
2. Package contents
The installation kit includes (see Figure 1):
a. Jcall board
b. High-gain GSM antenna with magnetic base
c. Network power supply
d. Plate and screws for installation in a Model E enclosure (available as an

The installation kit does not include:
 The USB cable for connecting the Jcall board to the PC.

WARNING: it is recommended to purchase a rechargeable GSM SIM card from the mobile phone network operator that offers
the best coverage in the area in which the system is installed. The mobile phone network operator must provide 2G GSM
coverage. SIM cards from operators that provide only 3G or 4G coverage are not compatible. If you use JCALL with
programming via the Internet, it is recommended to use a SIM card with an unlimited calls and data plan.
