Dedicated Micros dv-ip Setup Manual page 114

The typical process for SMS messaging is:
The DV-IP Server will send a message to the mobile phone. This can be on receipt of an
alarm or manually initiated.
The operator then has the option to send a message back to the Server or log onto the
unit using the web interface or DV-IP Viewer software.
If the Operator is remote they can send a message back to the DV-IP Server to action the
Server to send an alarm message to a remote viewing application. The DV-IP Server will
send a message to the remote monitoring station which includes the information in the
text it has received
The remote station can then access the DV-IP Server to acknowledge and action the
alarm.
To enable the serial port for the SMS feature:
1. Select System -> Serial Ports & Telemetry
2. Using the drop down list on the associated Communication port (COM 1 if dial on alarm is enabled)
select PPP
3. Select the relevant modem from the Modem/TA drop down list, if your modem is not supported then
you will need to add the modem to the modem.ini file
4. The serial standard settings for the selected modem will automatically be allocated, however if this
is incorrect you can change these for:
- Baud rate, Parity, Data bits, Stop bits, Flow control
5. Remember to save the configuration by selecting Save Settings!
Note: For Connect on Alarm to function the Remote Alarm Monitoring function of the
DV-IP Viewer must be unlocked, refer to the User guide for more information
To edit the modem.ini file for modems which are not identified in the dropdown list of supported
modems:
1. Using an FTP client application connect to the DV-IP Server
