1. INTRODUCTION
Transmitter LX20G is a modern, microprocessor device for data transmission
in real time, capable of simulating a telephone line (PSTN) with the transmission in
the GSM voice channel. In case of telephone line failure or by selecting the
appropriate prefix the device is able to perform a voice call to the monitoring
station, allowing you to transfer data from the control panel via the Contact ID
(DTMF) or SIA (FSK). There are also available other channels of transmission: GPRS
and SMS.
LX20G transmitter provides the highest security of data transmission through up to
four channels of transmission: PSTN / GSM VOICE / GPRS / SMS. The primary
purpose is to use the device as a security systems transmission module in PSTN and
GSM voice channels. LX20G transmitter works with all most popular alarm systems.
The addition of a packet data transmission (GPRS), 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
data transmission systems and who work with OSM.Server server. 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 computer keyboard and
programming cable).
Two phases comprise programming in this option:
a) sending to transmitter of main parameters (with SMS) that enable connection
to communication server (OSM.Server system).
b) full configuration of device with remote programming (GPRS transmitters
configurator and OSM.Server).
Quick start procedure:
a) insert into device SIM card with PIN code 1111 or without PIN code.
b) connect power supply for module,
c) send to SIM card number with SMS parameters related to connection of
device to communication server (OSM.Server)
d) waiting for moment, when device indicates connection to server
Note: Connection to server 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 transmitters 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>.
Exemplary SMS is as follows (if we use public network and provide server address
as IP):
Default communication mode of LX20G device is voice channel over GSM network. A
device can be also configured to maintain communication via GPRS 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.
In case of voice channel communication mode there is possibility to choose 2
signalling formats: ContactID or SIA.
Note:
Each device input (from IN1 till IN2) 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.
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.

7. PROGRAMMABLE PARAMETERS
Parameters available in configuration program are divided into groups:
Access, Transmission, Inputs/ Outputs, Monitoring, Restrictions, SMS Notifications,
Link control, RS-232, Phone line, Dialer and Firmware. Each of these groups will be
described in detail in next part of this manual.
7.1. ACCESS
7.1.1. Parameters
7.1.1.1. Device mode
Depending of user preferences, a device may operate in 1 out 3 modes (available
from scrolled list):
oGPRS & SMS: GPRS standard transmission (TCP/IP Protocol), and if any
problems follow with this link it automatically SMS mode will follow.
o SMS: Transmission only in SMS mode, without trial to establish GPRS link.
o GPRS: GPRS standard transmission (TCP/IP Protocol), and in case of any
problems with this link no transmission will follow.
oServerless: no transmission to the server is possible, remote communication
possible only via SMS notifications to the user or dialer

7.1.1.2. GPRS test time
The device sends signal “Test” with determined interval that informs monitoring
station that the device is in operation mode. In this field you can determine how
often this message will be sent (in seconds) .
7.1.1.3. SMS mode after unsuccessful attempts
Define number of reconnections to server. If during all reconnections fail the device
will go into SMS mode. In this mode LX20G will try to make connection with server,
according to interval defined in clause 7.1.3.3
7.1.1.4. SMS test time
This function is analogical to GPRS. It is activated when problems with GPRS
transmission follow when the device automatically goes into SMS mode (it relates to
operation mode in SMS). Usually it is undesirable to send text as SMS so often as
with GPRS transmission. Parameter this allow for significant extension of distance
between tests (time in minutes) or completely interlocking of this option.
7.1.1.5. Server phone number
If GSM modem is connected to server application (e.g. OSM.Server) enter in this
field its number. Any SMS will be sent to this number if transmitter has got
problems with GPRS transmission. If this field is left blank or 0 was entered, the
transmitter will be operating exclusively in GPRS mode.
Note : This field will be inactive if device is to operate in GPRS mode.
7.1.1.6. Sends events via SMS immediately
In case of GPRS connection lost device will send SMS reports immediately, even if
the LX20G isn’t in SMS mode yet.
7.1.2. APN Parameters
7.1.2.1. APN
Parameter depending on GSM network operator that supplies GPRS (SMS) services.
It provides GSM network access point name.

7.1.2.2. User ID
When using public APN , user ID is mostly not required. For private APN this
parameter shall be obtained from operator (it is impossible to be granted access to
GPRS network without it).
7.1.2.3. User password
When using public APN , user ID is mostly not required. For private APN this
parameter shall be obtained from operator (it is impossible to be granted access to
GPRS network without it).
Note : Private APN provides for higher system security.
7.1.2.4. DNS1 and DNS2
It determines address of main and backup DNS server (Domain Name System).
If IP server address has been entered in form of domain it is required to provide
minimum one DNS address.
7.1.3. Main Server Parameters
7.1.3.1. Server IP Address
It is address of receiver of monitoring system (OSM.Server) or computer where
“Communication Server” software has been installed , e.g. 89.123.115.8. This
address may be provided in domain name of server, e.g. module.gprs.com. In this
case it is required to provide minimum one address of DNS server.
7.1.3.2. Server port
It determines server port that was selected in server for collection of data from
transmitter.
7.1.3.3. Interval between subsequent connection attempts
Programmable and equipped with SIM card device will try to make automatic
connection with server. In this field you define interval (in seconds) after which next
connection will follow if the previous connection failed.
7.1.3.4. Number of connection attempts
In this filed you determine how many times device will try to make connection to
server. If connections fail, LX20G after execution of some connection will start
procedure of connection to back up server. This option is active only if we define
parameters of backup server.

7.1.3.5. Order of connection to servers
Mark this check box means, that the device will try in first order to connect to
primary server, without regard on definition of parameters for backup server (in
peculiarity of number of connection attempts).
7.1.4. Backup server parameters
7.1.4.1. IP server address
It is IP address of second (backup) receiver of monitoring system (OSM.Server) or
computer where “Communication Server” software has been installed , e.g.
89.130.125.82. This address may be provided in domain name of server, e.g.
monitor.gprs.com. In this case it is required to provide minimum one address of
DNS server.
7.1.4.2. Server port
It determines server port that was selected in server for collection of data from
transmitter.
7.1.4.3. Interval between subsequent connection
If device can not connect to primary server defined this after exhaustion for him
number of attempts, it will begin realizing the procedure of connecting to backup
server. We in this place define space of time (in seconds), after which test will
connecting renewed if previous finished with failure.
7.1.4.4. Number of connection attempts
In this field you determine how often device will try to make connection to backup
server. If connections fail, LX20G after execution of some connection will back to
procedure of connection to primary server.
7.1.4.5. Disconnect after time limit
If you mark this choice field the device will disconnect from back up server after
passage of set time. Further operation depends on defined parameter Order of
connection (See clause 7.1.3.5). If this option is active the device reconnects to the
primary server. If this option is not active the device firstly completes connection to
backup server procedure and if this fails, the device will try to connect to the
primary server.
7.1.5. ACCESS
7.1.5.1. Service code
It provides security against unauthorized access. It is being used during
programming of device and during remote controlling (in TCP/IP or SMS mode).
Factory setting is 1111. During the first starting of device (programming) it shall
be changed. Code may consist of up to seven alpha numerical characters.

7.1.5.2. Installer code
Allows restricted access to the parameters of device. When installer code is used
following groups of parameters are unavailable: Access, Transmission, Restrictions,
SMS notifications, Link control, RS232, Phone line and Dialer. Choosing
unauthorized groups of parameters in “GPRS transmitter configurator” causes error
notification.
Default installer code: 2222
7.1.5.3. PIN of SIM card
As a device operates via GSM network, SIM card is indispensable and it may be
received from phone operator. Before the first use PIN code of SIM card shall be
programmed for operation in given transmitter. PIN code is indispensable for
automatic system launching. In case of card without PIN code, it is possible to enter
any value e.g. 0000.
If you enter wrong PIN number after inserting card and switching on transmitter,
the system will not launch and you may be able to use card after entering PUK card
only (with use of any GSM mobile phone).
Factory setting of PIN in LX20G transmitter is 1111.
7.2. TRANSMISSION
For the purpose of maximum security of transmission, data is encrypted with AES
key. This option may be used for GPRS and SMS transmission.
After selection of encrypted transmission you may use your own code (256 bytes –
signs 0-9 and A-F) or use default settings.
Selection of not coded transmission means device operation similar to PX
transmitters.

7.3. INPUTS/OUTPUTS
Transmitter has got 2 signal inputs and additional input for sabotage signal switchkey connection. Module is equipped with three outputs: indicating sabotage and
two additional ones. In/Out option enable programmable configuration so that
transmitter operates pursuant to requirements of the user.
All inputs of the device are 24 hour alarm inputs.
7.3.1. Inputs configuration
For every input the following settings shall be determined respectively.
7.3.1.1. NO/NC
This parameter allows us to determine the steady state of the input. Change of this
state results in sending information on alarm. Allowable NC and NO input. NC input
shall be shorted to ground. Actuation follows after decay. NO input remains open.
At this moment of shortening to ground activation follows.
7.3.1.2. Delay [ms]
This parameter means minimum time for change maintenance at input so that it
would be detected by transmitter. Factory setting is 400ms.
7.3.1.3. Lock
Page 28
LX20G_Manual_en_v2.1
Page 28 /
69
With this option you can lock any input of module, and as a result condition
Event: automatic input lock
Event: automatic input unlock
Limit: N = 2 input changes during Tb time (3rd change activates input lock)
Tb
TbTbTbTb
Input activation and deactivation
Input activation and deactivation – no reaction
Temporary input lock
Events send to server
Event: input active
Event: input not active
- Locally there can be 2 x N – 1 input activations. In summary average number of activations during defined period of time will be preserved.
- N and Tb parameters may be set per input
changes on this input will be ignored and will not be reported to monitoring station.
Lock may be persistent or temporary.
In case of temporary lock – user can set lock time and number of input state
changes after which lock occurs. Lock time is counted from first input state change.
Both types of lock can be deactivated by SMS or GRPS command (RLIMIT
command)
Temporary lock may be deactivated by SMS or GPRS command (RLIMIT command).
7.3.2. Partitions
Partitions are configured using 3.Inputs/Outputs->Partitions tab.
Page 29
LX20G_Manual_en_v2.1
Page 29 /
69
7.3.2.1. Partition arming input
Using this, partition arming input can be selected. To selected input, arming device
(remote controller receiver output or electronic keyboard NO/NC output for
instance) is connected. When this input is armed, partition is armed (after Exit
Time, see below). When arming input is disarmed, partition is disarmed.
7.3.2.2. Inputs assigned to partitions
Assigning input to partition means that it is monitored only when partition to which
input belongs is armed. Input can be assigned up to one partition. Arming inputs
can not be assigned to any partition. If input is not assigned to any partition, it acts
as 24 hours input – it is monitored regardless of partitions state.
7.3.2.3. Delayed inputs
Here, delayed inputs can be selected. Delayed input switches on associated outputs,
ie. generates alaram, after Entry time after it is armed, but only when partition to
which input belongs will not be disarmed before Entry time period.
7.3.2.4. Exit time
Partition exit time. Partition inputs will be monitored when this configured time
elapses after partition input had been armed.
7.3.2.5. Entry time
Time after which alarm will be generated after delayed input had been armed and
partition to which delayed input belongs will not be disarmed

7.3.3. Outputs configuration
Tab „Output 1 (OUT1)” , „ Output 2 (OUT2)” and „ Output 3 (OUT3)” specify
conditions of switch outputs. Settings for all outputs are identical so they will be
described in one chapter.
7.3.3.1. Activation mode and timing
Thanks to this option you may choose output operation mode. There are two
operation modes available:
o Bistable - connection follows for indefinite time- up to the moment of
disconnection of power for module or remote command which switches
output off,
o Monostable - connection follows for time defined by user - every 100ms.
7.3.3.2. Conditions
Defines conditions for activating both of outputs. User can set following conditions:
o No connection to server (immediately after detection);
o No GSM signal (immediately after detection);
o Detection of incoming call from defined telephone number;
o Dependent on state transitions from non-active to active of one of the inputs.
Outputs can be also activated by internal watchdog, which can be configured
in “Link control” group.
7.3.4. Advanced outputs control
The user is able to determine an alternative course of action to go over basic
outputs configuration function described in 0 .In the “Advanced outputs control”
Page 31
LX20G_Manual_en_v2.1
Page 31 /
69
you may define separately the behavior of each of the outputs, depending on events
taking place. “Advanced outputs control” differs from the existing basic “Outputs configuration” by:
o it is possible not only to turn on but also to turn off the output
o output can be activated temporarily for specified amount of time
o there is a complete list of events for which you can define the behavior of the
output
Note: where possible, use either the basic configuration of outputs (0 )
or with an “Advanced outputs control”!
In particular, the basic configuration of existing options: “No connection to
server (immediately after detection)”,“No GSM signal (immediately after
detection)” and “Dependent on state transitions from non-active to active of one
of the inputs” should not be used with their replacements “[Off] Server”, “[Off]
GSM” and “[On] Input x”.
7.3.4.1. Output 1/Output 2/Output 3
These columns define which signals are to influence the status of a specific output.
Possible choices are:
o Do Nothing – output status will be not changed (default action)
o Turn on output – output will be permanently turned on
o Turn on output temporarily – output will be turned on for an amount of time
specified by parameter 7.3.4.2 Time of output activation
oTurn off output – output will be turned off
Press the [Reset] button to assign the action “Do Nothing” for each event.
Page 32
LX20G_Manual_en_v2.1
Page 32 /
69
The output state does not change if the current state of the output coincides with
the result of the action.
7.3.4.2. Time of output activation
Parameter defining amount of time for which the output is to be turned on for the
functions of advanced outputs control.

7.4. MONITORING
Thanks to this option you may determine which of available signals generated by
the device shall be transmitted to monitoring station.
NOTE: “Configuration changed” event refer to configuration changes made
by SMS or GPRS commands.
7.4.1. The use of non-volatile memory of the own events
This setting protects the memory of the own events before deleting eg. if restart or
power loss.
If you select “Enable non-volatile events FIFO” causes:
o Nothing event generated by the device should not be lost.
o All of the events are reported to the OSM Server with the time stamp with
resolution of 10msec.
o All events are sent to the Server chronologically.
o Command FLUSH=0, deletes only the events stored in the non-volatile
memory and generates the event EVENT_FIFO_FLUSHED.
o The function skip the initial states does not work.
o The function of limiting the number of sent SMS can not give large benefits.
If you don’t choose “Enable non-volatile events FIFO”:
o Restart of the transmiter causes the loss of all unsent events. Events that will
not be lost:
Page 34
LX20G_Manual_en_v2.1
Page 34 /
69
o EVENT_CONFIGURATION_CHANGED
o EVENT_SERVICE_BEGIN
o EVENT_SERVICE_END
o EVENT_INCOMING_DATACALL_BEGIN
o EVENT_INCOMING_DATACALL_END
o EVENT_FIRMWARE_CHANGED.
o To OSM Server is sent information abort the occurrence of the event and the
number of occurrences without giving a time (eg. A violation of input 2: 14
times).
o Events may be sent not in chronological order, even though the transmiter is
trying to send earlier, the events which occurred first.
o Command FLUSH=0, deletes only the events stored in the volatile memory
and generates the event EVENT_FIFO_FLUSHED.
Regardless of choosing the option “Enable non-volatile events FIFO”:
o If in the memory are unsent messages from the control panel and the
memory will be disabled by changing the configuration, unsent events can be
sent when the memory will be enabled again.
Memory related events:
o EVENT_FIFO_FAILURE – when queue is damaged.
o EVENT_FIFO_OVERFLOW – when queue is overflowed.
o EVENT_FIFO_FLUSHED – when queue is cleared by remote command
FLUSH=0.
7.4.2. GPRS On / GPRS Off
In this column you define signals that are to be reported to monitoring station with
GPRS transmission. There is possibility to send information on alarms (input state
change from rest to action status) and on returns of input state from action to rest
(normalization).
To transmit any signal you should only click it (proper square on your right).
Click on [Clear] button to remove all marked signals.
Click on [Invert] button to change markings to contrary.

status) and on returns of input state from action to rest (normalization).
To transmit any signal you should only click it (proper square on your right).
Click on [Clear] button to remove all marked signals.
Click on [Invert] button to change markings to contrary.
7.4.4. Skip initial state
This option allow for locking of sending of information on status of active inputs at
power connection. Information on inputs will be sent to server after the first change
from inactive to active status.
For the events “Power” and “Battery” no selection “Skip initial state” will cause
sending information about the power supply / battery on boot device regardless of
the power supply / battery state.
7.4.5. Power loss
One of device additional options is monitoring of power supply voltage. As short
voltage drop may follows at some facilities, it is possible to avoid reporting by
entering time after which information will be sent.
Value of this parameter means that voltage drop shall follow within this determined
time so that device recognizes it as real voltage drop and that information might be
sent.

begin to send data to the device.
7.8.3.4. Tests of device connection to port
If the device connected to transmitter port generates periodical connection tests,
these tests may be under LX20G control. To provide for that (after this option
activation) enter text message and define frequency (in “Test presence every [s]”
option).
Additionally user may determine if text messages will be sent to server. If this
option was not selected it is required to make sure that while the device connected
to transmitter port is not sending text message to transmitter, LX20G sends to
server due message (See chapter 7.4 MONITORING -> Tests RS-232).
7.9. PHONE LINE
The device is equipped with an external, city telephone line. It may be used to
transmit data from an alarm control panel. Additionally transmitter may collect

by the following criteria:
a. If prefix code was used (see 7.9.2.1 Forcing the line) the route is
chosen to be a line which is assigned to the given code.
b. If prefix code was not used the line is chosen by the user-defined
sequence for which no failure occurred. For PSTN and GSM see 7.9.1.3
Page 49
LX20G_Manual_en_v2.1
Page 49 /
69
Criteria for lines failure detection for calls to the monitoring stations,
for GPRS / SMS failure is determined by the current state of connection
to the server.
II. After selecting the line transmission is performed:
a. For PSTN and GSM control panel obtains direct access to the
transmission circuit of PSTN or GSM.
b. For GPRS / SMS data are received and cached in memory of
transmitter, control panel receives a positive confirmation of
transmission. Immediately after the transmitter relays data via GPRS /
SMS.
III. Control panel gets a busy signal when:
a. Prefix code was not used at given moment and failure occurred for all
defined routes.
b. Prefix code was used and the chosen route is broken.
IV. If the transmission for the selected line: PSTN or GSM fails (a missed call, no
acknowledgment of transmission) error counter is incremented for the line.
7.9.1.3. Criteria for lines failure detection for calls to the monitoring
stations
This function determines the conditions under which the line should be considered
as defective, and after what time attempt to re-use the line. It is possible to
determine the conditions for the PSTN and GSM lines. Configuration is to set the
following:
o Number of failed connection attempts by the control panel - after how many
unsuccessful attempts recognize the line as defective
o Attempt to return to the line after a time - the time from the moment a fault
occurs until the line can be reused
o PSTN line failure detection time - voltage drop on the phone line for a period
lasting longer than a defined minimum amount of time will be considered a
failure of PSTN line
7.9.1.4. Allow incoming PSTN calls
If you want to allow incoming PSTN calls to the control panel (terminals T1-R1) with
a PSTN line select this option.
7.9.1.5. Allow outgoing connections to PSTN…
Select this option to allow outgoing PSTN calls from the control panel (terminals T1R1) to phone numbers other than the numbers of the monitoring station.
7.9.1.6. Report off-hook condition
If a phone set is connected in parallel output of control panel communicator (to
terminals T1-R1 of transmitter), picking up of a phone prevent from exchange of
data between an control panel and a transmitter. There is possibility to control this
Page 50
LX20G_Manual_en_v2.1
Page 50 /
69
situation. Choice of this option result in sending a report to monitoring station if
time of picking up the phone exceeds determined time limit.
Note: This operation of this device follows if it works with new protocol. If
transmitter is to work in emulation PX mode (See chapter 7.2) the above mentioned
situation will result in sending “No telephone line” message.
7.9.1.7. Report “intervals too long”
This option is being used if in configuration PSTN line- LX- Alarm Control Panel
there are not other telecommunication devices. If such device will be connected and
telephone number will be dialled (and a call will follow) after expiry defined time
limit (counted since conclusion of last digit dialling) the transmitter sends a
message. This operation prevents unauthorised installation of additional devices.
Note: This operation of this device follows if it works with new protocol. If
transmitter is to work in emulation PX mode (See chapter 7.2) the above mentioned
situation will result in sending “No telephone line” message.
7.9.1.8. Generate dial tone
Some alarm control panels require that during a receiver picking up a tone of
dialling was actuated. To enable cooperation with a transmitter it is possible to
make a transmitter to generate such tone.
7.9.1.9. Generate Call-ID for incoming GSM voice calls
Check this option to turn on generation of Call-ID signal for incoming GSM voice
calls.
Note: To connect Jablotron's SP-02 speaker phone, please use following diagram
(in parallel with SP-02 device and T1/R1 terminal connect 330kΩ/0,6W resistor).

7.9.1.10. Detect of-hook after
The default value for the delay detection off-hook 100ms. You can define your own
delay value by choosing option "After" and giving the number in milliseconds.
7.9.1.11. The use of non-volatile message queue from the control
panel
Wybór tego ustawienia zabezpiecza pamięć ze niewysłanymi zdarzeniami od centrali
alarmowej przed skasowaniem np. w przypadku restartu lub utraty zasilania.
If you select „Enable non-volatile control panel messages FIFO”:
o The message received from the control panel and the time of message
reception are stored in non-volatile memory and next reported to OSM
server.
o Command FLUSH=4, deletes only the events stored In the non-volatile
memory and generates the event EVENT_FIFO_FLUSHED.
If you don’t choose„Enable non-volatile control panel messages FIFO”:
o The message received from the control panel is stored in volatile memory.
The reception time is not stored. The message and sending time from the
transmitter are reported to OSM server.
o Command FLUSH=4, deletes only the events stored in volatile memory and
generates the event EVENT_FIFO_FLUSHED.
Regardless of choosing the option „Enable non-volatile control panel messages
FIFO”:
o Każdy komunikat od centrali alarmowej jest raportowany do serwera OSM w
osobnej ramce / osobnym SMS.
o If in the memory are unsent messages from the control panel, the newly
dialled phone number will not be accepted.
o If in the memory are unsent messages from the control panel and the
memory will be disabled by changing the configuration, unsent events can be
sent when the memory will be enabled again.
7.9.2. Prefix codes
7.9.2.1. Forcing the line
Using the prefix code the user has the ability to enforce the use of the denoted line
for outgoing calls.
Possible parameters to configure:
o The prefix for the current (working) line – do not force changes in the line, it
is used as if prefix code were not used at all to override the line
o Prefix for PSTN – forces the PSTN line
Page 52
LX20G_Manual_en_v2.1
Page 52 /
69
o Prefix for GSM – forces the GSM line
o Prefix for GPRS/SMS – forces the GPRS/SMS transmission
7.9.2.2. Time since last dialed digit after the number…
Due to the multiplicity of numbering systems transmitter in order to determine
whether the dialed number is complete starts to measure time from the last dialed
digit. When the fixed number of seconds elapses transmitter considers the number
as complete and tries to make the call.
7.9.2.3. Advanced -> Replacing outgoing prefixes for GSM line
The user can define what the prefixes automatically replace the other for outgoing
GSM line. This function may be helpful if a dial is different for PSTN and GSM lines.
Editing procedure is as follows:
o Click on the button [Add] to add a new entry in the table above
o For the field [From], [To] and [Number of digits of the dialed number]
provide the values
o Continue adding entries as needed (up to 5 entries)
o If there is need to change order of the entries - use the arrow buttons on the
right side of the table
o With buttons [Delete] and [Delete All], respectively delete the selected row in
a table or all rows.

7.9.3. First and Second phone number
To provide for proper cooperation between a transmitter and a control panel in
DTMF mode determination of some parameters is required. The below described
functions are analogous to the both telephone numbers that may be saved in the
device memory.
7.9.3.1. DTMF phone number
This is a number that has been saved in memory of an alarm control panel. If the
panel is to transmit information on an event it shall dialled this number.
Transmission of this information via GSM (GPRS) will be possible if this number will
be identical as a number entered into the transmitter.
7.9.3.2. Handshake delay
This defines time after which a transmitter generates confirmation to an alarm
control panel for correct phone number dial. Default setting is 2.0 sec. European
Standard determines this value at 0.5 to 12.5 sec.
7.9.3.3. Protocol
Select protocol of data transmission used by an alarm control panel and that is
acceptable for monitoring station. Available options: ContactID, Ademco Fast, and
DTMF.
Note:
Page 54
LX20G_Manual_en_v2.1
Page 54 /
69
1) [Enable SMS sending] option may be used for all protocols that means that in
case of no GPRS connection, data will be sent via SMS (if this mode will be
accessible).
2) [Disable CRC checking] option may be used for ContactID and Ademco formats.
Some control panel generate improper messages regarding a control sum for
transmitted data, the device is not able to confirm collection of data, and as a result
the panel tries to send them again (until execution of all determined trials). Select
this option to avoid the above mentioned.
3) In case of DTMF protocol we gain access to specific parameters used to generate
some control signals.
7.10. DIALER
This menu is related to communication in voice channel with ContactID (DTMF) or
SIA (FSK).
NOTE: Please bear in mind that communication in voice channel can be set
to work in parallel with GPRS/SMS transmission. It can be important issue
for bill expense management.

7.10.1. General options
These options allows configuration of Dialler of LX20G device. It is possible to
completely turn off Dialler or to enable communications with one or two receiving
stations. Communication parameters can be defined with following options:
o Number – receiving station telephone number
o Test period – user can enable periodical communication tests between
LX20G device and receiver station; time period is in minutes
oNumber of attempts – defines number of attempts of sending each event
when first try fails
oDelay between unsuccessful attempts – defines time period between
following attempts of sending event to the receiving station
oPeriod of inactivity after number of attempts goes beyond the limit –
defines time period of inactivity in communication with receiving station when
“Number of attempts” parameter is exceeded.

7.12. Device Monitor
“Device Monitor” provides real-time information on LX20G device state. To use this
function LX20G must be connected to PC computer with LX-DATA cable (using
DEBUG plug). Correct RS232 port must be chosen in “Port” field. “Device monitor”
provides following information:
o AC power indication
o Battery power indication
o PSTN line indication
o GSM network signal level indication
o Bit-Error-Rate level measuring
o Inputs and outputs state monitoring
o Type or serial number of device
o Firmware and hardware revision

„Events history” provides information about last events stored in LX20G device
memory. LX20G device is able to save 192kB of data, which is about 8000
events. It is possible to read the history of both using a GPRS connection and
RS232. In the second case data can be send to PC only via LX-PROG cable (the
white one). Correct RS232 port or GPRS connection must be chosen in “Choose
connection kind” field. After providing Service code and clicking “Open” button
events data will be downloaded from LX20G memory. After properly reading
access to features such as the "Filtering" and "Charts" becomes possible. Both of

8. DEVICE PROGRAMMING
Programming of device is possible with “GPRS transmitters configurator”
configuration program described in chapter 5. To program the device establish
connection with a device.
Depending on connection mode there are two ways for programming.
8.1. LOCAL PROGRAMING
To program a device locally follow the procedure:
a) Connect PROG joint (on printed circuit) with COM computer port by way of
service wire, defined in option -> RS-232.
b) Connect power supply to terminals +12V and GND. After connection and
detection of programming wire a module shall signal this with LED diodes: a
green one shall flash and red one shall flicker.
c) Launch software and define device options (description is in chapter 6 of this
Manual ). Provide right PIN code for SIM card.
d) Save settings into memory of device. Saving course is displayed in special
window.
e) After saving disconnect power supply and disassembly service wire.
f) Insert SIM card. Connect module wiring pursuant to guidelines from chapter
4. Turn power supply on.
g) The device is ready to transmit data.
8.2. REMOTE PROGRAMMING
Remote programming of device is possible if:
user uses GPRS transmitters configurator and GSM modem connected to PC
user uses OSM.Server monitoring system receiver.
In first case remote programming is possible on CSD channel and its procedure is
analogous to local programming, remembering that “Modem GSM” shall be selected
from connection options (See chapter 6.3.5.2-CSD Link).
Note: Remote configuration with use of CSD canal is possible only if transmission of
CSD data is active both for SIM card inserted in the device, and for SIM card
installed in GSM modem.
Page 62
LX20G_Manual_en_v2.1
Page 62 /
69
In second case according to description in chapter 6.3.5.2 –GPRS Link , it is
required to define remote link on grounds of OSM.Server parameters. As
OSM.Server collects (and transmits) information exclusively from devices saved in
data base, the first operation during remote programming is proper registration of
the device. This procedure has been described in OSM.Server Operation Manual.
8.2.1. The first programming of device
As the device does not have defined access parameters in respect of GPRS network
and OSM.Server, programming shall be begun with providing parameters.
Irrespectively of providing these parameters the first operation shall be registration
of device in OSM.Server data base.
Before remote programming user shall check that the device is furnished with SIM
card (with reservations provided in chapter 7.1.3.2) and is connected to power
supply. User shall know serial number of device and phone number for SIM card.
Follow the procedure:
a) With the use of OSM.Server console position cursor on proper device in
“Devices” tab.
b) Click “Config.” option and then select “Set Configuration” function to display
lit of parameters.
c) Enter server address, server port and APN. Click OK and system shall send to
device provided parameters (SMS).
d) Wait till device addresses server (in “Devices” tab it will be marked with green
colour).
e) Launch software and define options of device (description is provided in
chapter 7 of this Manual).
f) Select “Send” to display a new window and select remote connection (GPRS
tab). Save settings in memory of device. Saving course is displayed on
special window.
g) After saving completion close Configuration Wizard.
h) The device is ready to transmit data.
8.2.2. Reprogramming of device
As the device has defined access parameters in respect of GPRS network and
OSM.Server, it is possible to program device at any time.
If device is installed in secured object and is furnished with SIM card and connected
to power supply follow the procedure:
a) Launch configuration wizard and define options of device (description is
provided in chapter 7 of this Manual).
b) Select “Send” to display a new window and select remote connection (GPRS
tab). Save settings in memory of device. Saving course is displayed in special
window.
c) After saving completion close Configuration Wizard
d) The device is ready to transmit data according to new settings.
