3.12.3 Schedule for SMS
Querying the station with SMS messages
Similarly to the "Schedule for MODEM" frame, the "Schedule for SMS"
offers the opportunity to define an additional time period during which the
station modem will be ON (stand-by mode) and therefore able to receive
calls and SMS query and setting commands. In addition, the "Schedule for
SMS" frame allows defining ten user's mobile phone numbers that will
receive alarm messages and/or daily reports.
The frame Schedule for SMS functions in the following way:
- in the blank part near the written Tel#, you have to add the telephone
number of the modem connected to the PC, this just in case you want the
area monitor originates an automatic call to the computer
- in the part Time, you have to decide when the modem has to be switched
ON
- in the part Stand By, you have to decide for how many quarters of hours,
starting from the hours of switching ON, the modem has to stay in stand by
- in the part Every, you have to decide the interval, expressed in hours,
from every switching ON
With the Send REPORT command ON, at the time indicated in the window
Time (HH:mm) the monitoring station automatically sends its daily report to
all the mobile phones listed .
The minimum Stand By time (expressed in quarters of an hour) is 0; in this
condition, the station sends the Report via SMS at the time indicated and
automatically switches off the internal GSM.
Recommended settings, for stations where the internal modem is not to be
used, are the following:
-
Tel # : VOID
-
Time (HH:mm) : 00:00
-
Stand By (Q): 00
-
Every (H) : 24
-
Send REPORT: OFF
It is possible to receive and read the daily report on any mobile phone
(max field value, time and date, minimum battery voltage) by sending
the SMS message: #SM?IDNpassword*#SM?RPT*.
The Report shown on the phone display will indicate the highest field value
and the time at which it was read, and the lowest battery voltage and the
relative time since the last time the report was sent or requested.
Therefore if at 9.00 a report is sent and at 10.00 the station is queried with
the request of a new report, the display will show the highest field value and
lowest battery voltage between 9.00 and 10.00.
Chapter 5 of this manual describes in detail all the commands and the
messages available via SMS.
