The display of technical data and function descriptions of the standard version will be omitted in this manual (if possible). We refer to the user manual INSYS GSM 4.2. If the INSYS GSM 4.2 easy behaves differently than the standard version, we will mention this fact in the according passages.
The possibility to control the alarm inputs of the INSYS GSM with pulses, thus triggering up to 20 fault messages, has been implemented into the device series INSYS GSM and can still be used. This possibility is not tied to a device and can therefore be used for all kinds of control types.
INSYS GSM 4.2 easy Restrictions/Notes The INSYS GSM 4.2 easy is connected to the Moeller easy device via a serial interface. Therefore, a memory can not be used at the same time. The password protection of the easy device may not be activated. If it is activated, no communication between INSYS GSM 4.2 and the compact controller is...
Moeller easy device, it may not be clear for “outsiders” which object instance has which function. Therefore, so-called aliases were introduced for the INSYS GSM 4.2 easy. This offers the possibility to allocate a name that is easy to understand. If the Moeller easy device controls a waste water system, for example, the digital register M1 can be allocated the alias "waste water pump1”.

INSYS GSM 4.2 easy. Behavior after reset or power up After a reset or a power up of the INSYS GSM 4.2 easy, values of object instances, which are not within the configured target state, will not trigger a fault message.
Page 13
The shortest polling cycle is 1 second, i.e. signals shorter than 1 second will generally not be recognized. The object instances are not automatically queried if the INSYS GSM 4.2 easy is busy with the following actions: Field strength query and login state query, duration approx. 5s, interval 60s, may be switched off.
Function Descriptions INSYS GSM 4.2 easy Periodic SMS 3.2.2 In addition to the monitoring of values, it is also possible to periodically query the current condition or value of an object instance and to send it automatically via SMS. A periodic SMS can be sent in hourly intervals of 1 to 255 h. After this time has expired, the set object instance is read out and the value is sent as SMS.
SMS processing must be activated). It is furthermore possible to access the inputs and outputs of the INSYS GSM 4.2 easy indirectly via registers. For the INSYS GSM 4.2 easy it is also possible to query various information regarding the state of the easy device via SMS, or the control program that is running on it.

INSYS GSM 4.2 easy Function Descriptions E.g. it is not recommended to switch objects like digital inputs directly. On the other hand it is uncritical to set a parallel connected bit register to simulate the setting of digital input within the configuration program (e.g. imitate the triggering of a sensor).
INSYS GSM 4.2 easy New History Entries The description of the history functionality of the INSYS GSM 4.2 easy can be found in the supplied manual INSYS GSM 4.2. Due to the extended functionality of the INSYS GSM 4.2, there are several additional entries in the history memory:...
4.1.1 Installation for configuration The serial interface (RS 232) of the INSYS GSM 4.2 easy and the configuration PC are connected for initial operation and configuration. The cable used for the RS232 is the default supplied 9-pin cable with 9–pin D-SUB plug / 9-pin D-SUB jack.
Carry out the following steps: 1. Have the SIM card and PIN number ready, but do not insert the card yet. 2. Connect the INSYS GSM 4.2 easy and the PC with a serial cable (male/female). Connect the GSM antenna.

The software HSComm easy is used to configure the INSYS GSM 4.2 easy in Windows, without the need for explicit knowledge of the AT commands and their parameters. The settings are only sent to or read from the INSYS GSM 4.2 easy after the according instruction (buttons Send settings or Read settings).
"Automatic detection at program start" to attempt to establish a connection with the INSYS GSM 4.2 immediately after the start procedure. Use the item "Extended logging” to log all INSYS GSM 4.2 easy messages. The log can be viewed at the menu item "Send/receive log".
GSM network if the PIN is stored. 5.5.5 Synchronize The serial interfaces of the INSYS GSM 4.2 easy and the connected device have to be configured equally. With "Synchronize", all possible baud rates and data format settings at the PC side are tested until both sides match.
Tabs The settings of the basic and extended settings are spread across several pages, which can be selected via the tab titles. The settings are transmitted to the INSYS GSM 4.2 easy only after pressing the button Send values. The functions are described in the following chapters, provided they are are relevant for the easy version.
The default setting is “0000”. When the INSYS GSM 4.2 easy has a stored PIN, the option PIN active is checked. A PIN stored in the INSYS GSM 4.2 easy is deleted by Delete PIN. This also enables the operation of SIM cards without PIN.
99 stands for not ascertainable field strength, e.g. due to network loss or a damaged antenna. When the location of the antenna is changed, it usually takes 5 to 10 seconds until the field strength of the INSYS GSM 4.2 easy is displayed correctly. January 07...
