1. INTRODUCTION
Transmitter LX20B is a modern, microprocessor device for data transmission
in real time, with the transmission in the GSM. Connection with the monitoring
station, allowing you to transfer data from the control panel via the Contact ID
(DTMF) or SIA (FSK). There are available channels of transmission: GPRS / UMTS /
HSPA (3G) and SMS.
LX20B transmitter provides the highest security of data transmission through up
to transmission channels: / GPRS / UMTS / /HSPA (3G) / SMS. The primary purpose
is to use the device as a security systems transmission module. In addition, in the
LX20B-5D model there is possible to use two Nano SIM cards (two slots on the
PCB), which increases the reliability of the device for example in case of network
failure.
LX20B transmitter works with all most popular alarm systems. The addition of a
packet data transmission (GPRS / UMTS / HSPA), can reduce the cost of the alarm
systems. This device provides an opportunity to send text messages to private
mobile phones.
An advanced encoding methods like a 256 bytes encoding key and AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard) provides for security of data transmission. As a
result reception of this transmission is possible with OSM.Server monitoring receiver
system.
Furthermore there is possibility to transmit not coded messages that are to be
comprehensible by reception solutions and also by GPRS Server software.
Programming of receiver is possible:
o Locally on computer and with recommended “GPRS transmitter
configurator” software
o Remotely – via GPRS connection
– via SMS commands
– via transmission on CSD canal

4. QUICK START PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Do not insert SIM card before the first programming of transmitter as it
may block the card if PIN code is required for the card.
This chapter is purposed for users that possess experience regarding GPRS
/ UMTS / HSPA (3G) data transmission systems and who work with
OSM.Server receiver for monitoring system. Other users shall skip this
chapter and go to chapter 5 of this Manual.
As many users possess protected facilities spread at vast locations, local
programming of transmitter is not always available (with PC computer and
programming cable).
Two phases comprise programming in this option:
a) sending to transmitter of main parameters (with SMS) that enable connection
to receiver (OSM.Server system).
b) full configuration of device with remote programming (GPRS transmitter
configurator and OSM.Server).
Quick start procedure:
a) insert into device SIM card with PIN code 1111 or disabled PIN code,
b) connect power supply for module,
c) send to SIM card number with SMS parameters related to connection of
device to receiver (OSM.Server)
d) waiting for moment, when device indicates connection to OSM.Server
Note: Connection to receiver is possible if the device was registered into it.
Registration procedure has been described in OSM.Server Operation Manual.
e) complete, remote programming with GPRS transmitter configurator.
SMS text message shall provide the following information:
<transmitter’s service code>█SERVER=<server address>█PORT=<server port>█
APN=<access point name>█UN=<user ID number>█
PW=<user password>
Where:
█: space (every parameter shall be separated with space – blank character)
<transmitter’s service code>: factory settings – 1111
<server address>: address of communication server purposed for collection of
transmitter signals e.g. 89.123.115.8. In case address is provided as domain e.g.
block.autostrada.com, SMS message shall include DNS1 parameter (address of main
DNS server)
<server port>: Number of port in server that receives messages from a device
<access point name>: defines access point name to GSM network.
If private network is used, SMS message shall provide the following parameters:
UN=<user ID number> and PW=<user password>.
LX20B – Manual Page 15 / 67
Exemplary SMS is as follows (if we use public network and provide server address
as IP):
1111█SERVER=89.123.115.8█PORT=6780█APN=internet█UN=█PW=
Where:
█: space character
5. OPERATION
.A device can be configured to maintain communication via GPRS / UMTS / HSPA
network or SMS messages. Communication mode is configurable – see chapter 7.
for more information. As a result the transmitter may be used only at the territory
covered with mobile phone operator network.
If status of inputs is the same as programmed one (NO or NC) a device stays
in a rest. Change of status on any input results in immediate signal transmitting of
this event by the device.
Note:
Each device input (from IN1 till IN5) may be individually defined as on open one
(NO) or closed one (NC). It means that when in NO, input shorting will be an active
state and, a non-shorting will be an active state in NC.
To avoid an excessive cost of use related in particular to false alarms a device
possesses a programmable analysis of inputs.
All inputs respond only to states change which means that transmitting will
follow only if an active state is on input and maintains during programmed minimum
time. Maintenance of active state longer than a minimum time will result in single
indicating. Another input activation (another transmitting) is possible only after
input reached based state.
Number of messages sent in SMS mode is limited (limit includes also text massages
or answers to orders sent by user).This function provides for cost reduction by
limiting messages e.g. in case of damage of sensor connected to any input. After
passage of programmed time new messages will be sent but only in a number
determined by the user.
Text message on events sent to private phone numbers may be edited.
LX20B transmitter is equipped with input of a PSTN telephone line, and input
to connect telephone communicator module of alarm control panel.
Module constantly controls availability of an external telephone line. Decrease
of line voltage below around 5V is deemed as a line damage. If an exterior phone
line is operating, it is provided for output of telephone communicator module. If
damage of urban line follows, a module disconnects a urban line and provides a
voltage simulating telephone line to output of telephone communicator module.
Module always provides voltage corresponding to operating phone line for an alarm
control panel (namely to phone communicator module) regardless of urban line
status.
LX20B – Manual Page 16 / 67
Configuration of transmitter for cooperation with an control panel’s phone
communicator requires entering into memory a phone number for which transmitter
is to answer.
Once a phone is picked up via an alarm control panel telephone
communicator , a telephone number is being dialled to make connection. After the
control panel dialled a number to which transmitter is to respond, a transmitter
takes over a phone line namely disconnects a urban line from an control panel and
provides to a phone communicator voltage that simulates an operating phone line.
Next it generates confirmation signal and awaits for data from a control panel –next
DTMF tones generated with communicator are treated as data. After transmitting
adequate number of DTMF signs (16 for ContactID) a transmitter generates Kissoff
signal. Collection of data from control panel finishes at hanging up a phone of a
control panel by phone communicator module. After that transmitter comes back to
standard operation –namely if urban line is operating, it is being connected to an
alarm control panel and awaits for dialling of new number.
If telephone number dialled with communicator is other than number GPRS
module answers, no operation follows and it waits until communicator hangs up a
phone and picks it up again – since picking up a telephone number dialled with a
communicator module is being checked.
All programmable parameters are saved in memory and in case of voltage
drop that are not lost. Supply of power starts the transmitter with saved settings.

6.3.2. File -> Open
If file contains saved settings, they may be used to program next device. Firstly a
catalogue where file has been saved shall be chosen and then name of file shall be
provided. Obtained data collection may be modified by the user. Any amendments
are effective if send to device.
6.3.3. File -> Save
During programming many devices in different configurations, it is not necessary to
have in mind each one as it may be saved on hard disc or floppy disk under any
name and it may be loaded later on. This function save on disc any information from
configuration wizard window. After activation of function a dialog window appears
LX20B – Manual Page 19 / 67
with request to provide file name. Default data is saved with CMI extension
(Configuration Memory Image).
6.3.4. File -> Language
Allows for selection of any available languages (determined in attached exterior
language files).
6.3.5. File -> Connections
Before programming of devices, a connection type shall be defined. It is possible to
do it with two methods:
- locally
- remotely
6.3.5.1. Local connection
Local connection means that configuration software (namely computer on which is
installed) is directly connected to proper terminal of transmitter via special wire and
through RS-232 serial port (GD-PROG) or USB port or Bluetooth (MINI-PROG-BT,
SP-PROG-BT). All channel connection (also USB and Bluetooth) "open" virtual COM
serial ports used in communication control panel-Configurator.
To program device or make any other operations (e.g. reading of device settings,
firmware amendments, etc.) it is necessary firstly to define connection parameters.
For the above purpose you shall use the following window, available after activating
File option from the Main Menu and selecting Connection function or after clicking on
icon on a taskbar and opening RS232 tab.
Define:
Name of connection e.g. Local
Choose serial port e.g. COM1
Click on [Add] button to confirm settings. Connections shall be saved (and inserted
in table). From this time on program shall enable wires connection with device and
reading, and saving of parameters in LX20B memory will be possible.
LX20B – Manual Page 20 / 67
In the next tab "MINI-PROG" (the name derived from the programmer) you have to
also define the connection parameters.
Operations are the same as with the "RS232" tab. Specify the name, the correct
COM port and add a connection.
Programmers MINI-PROG-BT and SP-PROG-BT have microUSB ports, through which
we can connect to the computer using the USB port, but also have built-in Bluetooth
interface.
6.3.5.2. Remote connection
As provided above the device and software makes for complete configuration with
GPRS / UMTS / HSPA link or CSD channel. This programming mode requires
definition of linking parameters.
GPRS link
Activate file in Main menu and select Connection function (or after clicking on
icon on fast access bar) and click on GPRS tab to carry out configuration of this
mode.
On screen the following window shall appear:
Define:
Name of connection e.g.: Remote 1
Select name of analyzer e.g.: Primary
Enter analyzer address e.g.: www.ebs.pl
LX20B – Manual Page 21 / 67
Enter port on which analyzer operates e.g. 9000
Click on [Add] button to confirm settings. Connections shall be saved (and inserted
in table). From this time on program shall enable remote connection to device and
reading and saving of parameters in LX memory shall be possible.
Notice: The following parameters: analyzer name, analyze address, port
relate to settings of OSM.Server receiver of monitoring system. Remote
programming is available only if above mentioned device (or software) is
used.
CSD link
Activate file in Main Menu and select Connection function (or after clicking on
icon on fast access bar) and click on GSM Modem tab to carry out configuration of
this mode.
On screen the window shall appear where it is possible to define:
Name of connection e.g. Remote CSD
Serial port where GSM modem is connected (e.g. Wavecom Fastrack)
PIN code of SIM card installed in GSM modem e.g. 1111
Serial port parameters: amount of bytes/sec. (e.g. 115200), data bytes (8),
parity (none), stop bytes (1)
Click [Add] button to confirm settings and save connection (settings are inserted
into table). Since that time a remote connection to device, reading and saving of
parameters in LX20B memory is possible.
Note: Remote configuration with CSD channel is possible if option of CSD data
sending has been activated both for SIM card inserted into a device and SIM card
installed in GSM modem. In addition, the transmitter must have turned on
permission to receive CSD data calls, see item 7.5.2. GSM modems authorized
phones.
Programming with CSD is also possible if OSM.Server system has been installed,
and minimum one GSM modem is connected. If device has been entered onto
server list (factory number and SIM card telephone number –See OSM.Server
Operation Manual) it is possible to use link via OSM. It is possible if device is not
connected to the OSM.Server via GPRS. During programming procedure (with GPRS
link- See above) a question will be displayed if user want to use a modem
