NetworX Version 3 Installation Manual
The module can send primary, secondary and backup reports.
Important: Actual reports sent depend on both control panel report settings (Control
Panel>Communications>Reporting) and GSM/GPRS module report settings (NX-7002
Module>Reporting>Report Control). For example, if the particular partition event, like Opening/Closing, is to be
reported, it must be enabled at both Control Panel>Communications>Reporting>Partition
Rprt>Opening/Closing and at NX-7002 Module>Reporting>Report Control>Events>Opening/Closing. The same
applies to system reports, like Box Tamper, Programming or Expander Trouble.
HomeText
HomeText is a new report protocol that sends an SMS message of reported events to a telephone
number. The Hometext reports are similar in appearance to the reports in the event log that are
viewed on the keypad.
HomeText uses SMS messaging to send a report in a specified language. HomeText can use six
reporting destinations.
Each report destination consists of:
•
a primary reporting transport option (Hometext groups 1 - 8, SMS 1, SMS 2 etc.); and
•
an event list.
HomeText can store up to 16 telephone numbers for reporting. Each telephone number can belong to
any combination of the eight HomeText groups and must be assigned to one of the 12 available
languages.
A HomeText group can be sent to one of the report destinations that report specified events. All
telephone numbers belonging to a HomeText group will receive SMS messages of reported events
for that group.
HomeText Control
HomeText allows the users to send and receive SMS messages from a mobile phone to control their
security system.
Messages can consist of a registered telephone number assigned to the particular user, a password,
commands and values.
•
The telephone number part is necessary only if the system is configured to accept
commands from unregistered phones, and the user calls from the telephone unknown
to the system. If entering a phone number also a password is required. See the
Registered Phone Access and the Any Phone Access menu option descriptions in the
glossary.
•
The system can be set up to always use a password. If so, a password must be entered
before the command.
•
Commands are instructions sent to the security system.
•
Values are information that the user wants to send or receive from the system.
Note: More information on HomeText control can be found in Reporting protocols and formats section on page 209.
