Remote configuration
The SMX can be configured remotely using SMS commands. It is recommended, however, that the PC application software be used for the initial configuration of the unit.
IMPORTANT - Delivery reporting
When sending SMS commands to a unit with 2 SIM cards, users may need to try both mobile numbers. The SMX switches between SIM cards when it encounters a network problem. It is important for users to have 'delivery reports' enabled on their mobile phones to confirm that commands have been received.
SMS sender verify
The unit can be configured to only accept commands and requests from mobile numbers contained in the Message Recipient list. This will not affect the missed call operation.
SMS command rules
 | Starts all commands |
 | Command pin (4 numeric digits - default 1234) |
 | Separates fields in the command string |
 | All mobile numbers in international format (max 16 digits) |
Diagnostic commands/requests
| Unit status request | - $1234*sts Returns the following information by SMS: Which SIM is currently in operation, i nputs status, relays |
| Swap SIM cards sss | - $1234*sim*sss - pri = primary SIM examples |
| Request firmware version | - $1234*ver |
| GSM signal (quality of signal) | - $1234*rsi Signal strength ranges from -113dBm (very weak) to -51dBm (very strong). 70 to -80dBm is considered normal. |
Setup commands
| Message centre number
| - $1234*mctn*msg center number max 15 digits* add/del |
| mctn | - Sets or changes message centre number example |
| Change command PIN | - $1234*pin*new pin example |
 This command can cause loss of control of the unit if the new command pin is not remembered. | |
| Set unit time | - $1234* syt The unit time is set automatically when programmed using the PC application. If the units is however not connected to any power source for an extended period (+/- 12 hrs), the unit will loose its' time. Sending this command will reset the unit time from the network. |
Remote Command Guide
SMS message commands
| Change reporting name | - $1234*uid*name*add example |
| Auto test time | - $1234*aut*set-HHMM*dw-d*add/del Change or delete auto test time. |
| set | - The auto test feature sends a daily test message. set= time messages should be sent (HHMM). |
| dw-d | - Specify days of the week for test auto signals examples |
 Note: Message distribution for auto test messages cannot be programmed remotely. If the auto test feature was initially programmed using the PC application, the original message distribution setup will be retained if changes are made using SMS commands. If programmed for the first time, or where the auto test feature is cancelled and then re-programmed, messages will be distributed to all message recipients. Programming custom message distribution should be done using the PC application. | |
| Change vibration sensor sensitivity | - $1234*vib*n example |
| Add message recipient | - $1234*usrz*mobilenumber*add*all (mobile number for reporting) examples |
| Note: Existing mobile numbers are overwritten. Message distribution cannot be programmed by SMS command. All hardwired inputs and Contact ID event messages will be sent to recipients added by SMS command. Programming custom message distribution should be done using the PC application. | |
| Delete message recipient | - $1234*usrz*del example |
| Warning: Deleting all message recipients with the sender verify option enabled will result in control over the unit being lost. | |
| Send message recipient list | - $1234*usr1*report (use any usr number) |
| Note: The message recipient list is sent in 2 separate SMS messages each containing 5 recipient numbers. | |
| Change input event SMS | - $1234*msg*input*message *add/del Definable 16 character SMS messages are sent to the reporting number/s when the inputs on the unit change state. Separate messages are defined for high and low states for inputs 1-9. |
| input | - ip1h = input #1 high state examples |
Note: If the message for a particular input or input state is deleted, no SMS message will be sent for the input/state.
Relay switching commands
| Operate relays | - $1234*rlyn*opr examples |
| Note: A confirmation SMS is automatically sent back to confirm that the operation was successful. If no confirmation is received, check that the unit has not swapped to the alternate SIM card. | |
| Overwrite command shortcut | - $1234*cscC*kw: S*in: N example |
| Delete command | - $1234*cscC*del example |
| Missed call relay operation | - $1234*mclm*cell number*rlyn-opr*lm-n*st-HHMM* en-HHMM*dw-d*cfm There are 500 missed call locations. Each missed call can perform 1 of 4 operations on the unit or I/O relays. The number of missed calls accepted can be limited and access can be further limited to a time window and to days of the week. |
| mclm | - Create, edit or delete up to 500 missed call entries. mcl= missed call command m= missed call location number (1-500) |
| rlyn opr - | - Relay number n= 1-8. Relay operation opr= 1 of 4 operations - pls= pulse, on= turn on off= turn off and tog= toggle. |
| lm-n | - The access lifespan limits the number of missed calls before deleting the entry. n= 0-255 missed calls. If Im not present or if the value is 0, there is no limit to the number of missed calls accepted. If cfm is present, the delivery report will include the remaining number of missed calls allowed. |
| st/en | - The operational time window sets an access start and end time (HHMM). It defines the hours that the caller will be able to use the missed call feature. If no parameters are present, there is no limit. |
| dw-d | - Select certain days of the week d=1-7 1= Monday, 2= Tuesday, 7= Sunday etc. |
| cfm | - If cfm is present a confirmation SMS is sent. examples |
| Delete missed call operation | - $1234*mclm*del example |
| Query missed call location | - $1234*mclm*??? example |
| Set timer relay operation | - $1234*tmry*id-ABC*rlyn-opr*tm-HHMM*dw-d*cfm |
| tmry | - Sets 64 independent timers to operate once a day until deleted. y= timer number (1 - 64) |

Air-time and balance commands
USSD network commands can be complex and extreme care should be used. Incomplete commands will leave the channel active for some time, will cause the unit to seem unresponsive and will incur per minute network USSD session charges. To initiate a USSD session and forward any replies via SMS to the requesting number, use the following commands:
| Request balance | - $1234*usd*USSD request# |
| Vodacom | - $1234*usd**100# (prepaid balance) - $1234*usd**111*502# (prepaid & SMS) |
| MTN Cell C | - $1234*usd**141# (airtime & SMS bundle) - $1234*usd**101# (airtime only) |
| Note: An error message will show for contract SIMs or if the network does not support airtime balance features. | |
| Load prepaid voucher | - $1234*usd*USSD request# Vodacom - $1234*usd**100*01*voucher number# MTN - $1234*usd**141*voucher number# Cell C - $1234*usd**102*voucher number# |
DSC alarm panels can be controlled using the following commands. A SRL-DSC interface module is required. The DSC serial connection option must be enabled in the programming software.
DSC panel models currently supported include: Pc5005, Pc5010, Pc5020, Pc1808, Pc1864, Power832 and Power864.
