Sending Text Messages to Arm / Disarm
You can arm or disarm the system by sending a text message (SMS) from any cell phone. The message must
be sent to the GSM module's phone number, as determined by the cell phone provider (consult your installer for
more information). Text message commands have a specific format which follows this pattern:
C[ ].[ ].A[ ].[ ]
USER CODE ACTION PARTITIONS PHONE NUMBER
NOTE: SMS commands must be entered in capital letters.
Example:C1234.ARM.A1.5555551234
C1234.OFF.A1.5555551234
In the example above, user code 1234 will arm or disarm partition 1, and the confirmation message will be sent
the following phone number: (555) 555-1234.
User Code
The first part of the text message is the user code (same code used on the alarm system). It must be prefaced
with the letter C and followed by a period.
Example:C1234.
Action
It is possible to arm or disarm the system. The command must be entered after the user code and followed by a
period. To arm the system, enter the ARM command. To disarm the system, enter the OFF command.
Example:C1234.ARM.
Partition
It is possible to arm or disarm specific partitions. The partitions must be prefaced by the letter A, and separated
by commas for individual partitions. It is also possible to affect a series of partitions by writing TO between the
start and end partitions of that series. The list of partitions must be followed by a period.
Examples:C1234.ARM.A1.
C1234.ARM.A1TO2.
Phone Number
This informs the system of which phone number must be notified by SMS to confirm the status change.
Example:C1234.ARM.A1,3,5TO7.5555551234
IP Information
It is possible to receive the IP address of the GSM module via text message. The GSM module will then send a
text message to the specified phone number displaying the IP address of the GSM module. A valid user code
must be entered to receive the IP address. The IP address can be used to configure remote software. Consult
your installer for more information.
Example:C1234.IP.5555551234
