5.6.3 Configuring GSM-GPRS (IP) - SMS Cellular Connection

The GSM/GPRS module is capable of communicating with the Monitoring station receiver by GPRS, GSM Voice
(analog) or SMS Channels.
Each of the channels can be separately enabled or disabled to allow or prohibit the module from using it for the event
reporting. If all channels are enabled, the GSM/GPRS module will always try GPRS first. If fails, it will try GSM voice. If
fails, it will try any other possible method (PSTN Broadband) and only then it will try SMS. Disabling any of the GSM
channels will cause the module to use a different sequence than the one described above.
