The embedded antenna is located under the front panel. This omnidirectional
antenna can work properly if the front side of the device is not shielded by metallic
frames (i.e.: the GsmControl+A is installed inside a metal cabinet).
An externaldual-band antenna mustbe connected to theRF interface, implemented
as a50 FME malecoaxial jack at the endof a short RG174 cablestub exiting from
thetop side ofthe device.The antenna mustfulfil therequirements given below:
Werecommend a VSWRmax of 1.5:1although a VSWRmax of 2:1can be accepted
withoutaffecting performance andcertification.
The DC impedance is floating but there is no problem when using antennas that

Clip feature is disabled, nothing happens on incoming calls from registered users.
Selecting this mode, incoming voice (or fax) call from registered user will turn on

Incoming voice (or fax) calls will toggle the output on to off or vice-versa.
A ringback will be issued only when an output is turned on.
If the user waits online, after the time specified in GsmAlarm+ will answer,

WARNING
The simplest way is to put your SIM card into a cellular phone and
program it so it won't ask for the PIN. The SIM card is 'open' and
someonecould steal theSIM card,use it andread theinformation inside.
GsmControl+comes with adefault PIN= (fourzeroes).
Putyour SIM cardinto acellular phone andprogram thePIN using the
givennumber.
Usingcom port and running onMicrosoft® Windows®
PCyou can modifythe defaultPIN on bothGsmControl+ andSIM card.
If you insert a SIM card that asks for a PIN number different from
that stored into GsmControl+, the device will not operate.
If you enter the PIN 3 times incorrectly, SIM card will lock up and you
must provide the PUK (PIN Unblocking Key).
Add Users (group 0)
Store first supervisor
Remote control is allowed to registered users only.
It's possible to add, modify or delete subscribers
from the SIM card phonebook using any GSM
mobile phone or SIM card reader/writer.
Following operating instructions provided by
phone manufacturer insert the SIM card into the
SIM card holder, turn on the phone and scroll the
option menu to enter the SIM card Phonebook edit
mode.
Enter the users name and telephone number using international format.
Insert the SIM card into the device SIM card holder and turn on the power supply,
the unit is ready to operate.
Although it is not mandatory to store a supervisor, you may add a supervisor who
then has additional special commands only available to him (advanced manual).
Tostore the first supervisor, once the unit is operative, issue the following SMS:
start character
system PIN (default = 0000)
supervisor’s name to be stored
optional email address
end character
Example:
The telephone number of SMS sender is automatically collected from the
incoming call presentation (thus the telephone number must be kept visible) and
will be assumed as the first supervisor’s telephone number.
First supervisor will be stored at position 401 and the unit will send back a
confirmation or error SMS.
Dots are allowed ONLY within the email address field.
It’s possible to use both and @ characters before the domain name.
SMS delivery failure is usually less than 1% but you must keep in mind
that a message could not arrive and you cannot complain with your
