NX-591E-GSM SMSXpress Module

Installation Manual

Product overview

The NX-591E-GSM is a microprocessor-controlled GSM interface module used to connect the NetworX series of control panels to GSM cellular networks for event reporting. The module can be used for primary, backup, or additional reporting when used in conjunction with the panel c ommunicator or other optional reporting modules. Flexible event selection allows only specific messages to be reported, keeping airtime to a minimum. The module has 14 LEDs to provide extensive diagnostic and setup information.

Website activation of new and replacement modules

You can activate and manage the module via our website address: www.gesecurity.com/GSM (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Web site

You must have a dealer account set up before you ca n proceed. If your comp any already has an account set up, do the following:

1. At the bottom of the web page, click the activation link. The member Login screen appears.

2. At the Login screen, type your login name and password, then click Login.

3. The following options are available on the site map. If not displayed, select Site map under the main

menu.

Activate digital unit (new). This will activate the GSM module (NX-591E-GSM). Enter the serial number of the module (located on the front of the unit). The serial number must contain 10 digits. Multiple modules can be added from this screen.

Activate digital unit (direct swap). This will only activate a GSM module that is replacing an existing cellemetry module. Enter the serial number of the module to be deactivated (located on the front of the unit), and the serial number of the module to be activated. The serial number must contain 10 digits. Multiple modules can be added from this screen.

Edit unit settings. Complete the following information based on the way you want to configure the reporting for the module:

• Select the unit you have just activated.

• Add the account name to the Unit name field.

• Select your Notification Method 1.

•Change TX Retries to 8 (maximum allowed).

• Go to the appropriate field for the Method 1 that was chosen (Alpha, E-mail, or Central Station).

• If Alpha pager, the PIN is required.

• If Central Station, enter the receiver phone number and central station A/C number.

• Select a second Notification Type, if needed.

• Notification Enabled should read “Yes”.

4. Click Update.

Enrolling the module

The NetworX control panels have the ability to automatically find and store in memory the presence of all keypads, zone expanders, wireless receivers, and any other device on the keypad buss. This allows these devices to be supervised by the control panel. To enroll the devices, enter program mode of the NX control panel using the procedure described in the control panel documentation. When you exit program mode, the control panel will automatically enroll all the devices. The enrolling process takes about 12 seconds, during which time the service LED will illuminate. When using the LCD keypad, the “Service Required” message will be displayed. User codes will not be accepted during the enrolling process. Once a module is enrolled, if the control panel does not detect it, the service LED will illuminate.

Module address

The GSM module has a fixed address of 76. When programming the module, enter program mode and select the device address as 76 (see Programming on page 8).

Installation Manual

Installation

To install the module you will need to mount and wire the board.

Mounting

Inside the can, several two-holed insertion points have been constructed. This allows for either vertical or horizontal placement of the modules. The insertion points have two sizes of holes, a larger hole and a smaller hole. The black plastic PCB guides are grooved on one edge where the PC board will be seated. The end with the half-moon protrusion fits into the larger hole. The smaller hole is for the screw.

To mount the board, see Figure 2 and do the following:

1. Place the first black plastic PCB guide in the top insertion point, grooved edge downward. The halfmoon protrusion will be in the large hole. It does not require force.

2. Insert one of the provided screws into the smaller hole (from the inside of the can) to secure it in place. A screwdriver should reach through the notch that runs the length of the guide to tighten the screw.

3. Position the second PCB guide opposite of the first (grooved edge up) and placed in the lower insertion point, using the same procedure.

4. Once mounted, screw it in securely.

5. Slide the board in the grooves of both guides.

Note: Older style enclosures did not provide an exit hole for the antenna included with the GSM module. In such cases, you

must either drill a new hole (5/8 in.) on top of the can or use an optional external antenna (NX-501E-GSM).

LED Description

DS3 to DS6 LEDs flashing = Network failure. DS3 to DS6 LEDs off = Normal idle condition. (DS3 and DS4) and (DS5 and DS6) flashing alternately = Shutdown.

DS1 Proper circuitry operation.

DS3 On steady = Reading MINs from GSM radio.

DS4 On steady = Looking for cellular service.

DS5 On steady = Sending a network verification message packet to tower.

Flashing = Waiting for acknowledgement.

DS6 On = Sending data message to tower.

Flashing = Waiting for acknowledgement.

XMIT Transmitting message packet to tower.

POOR The LEDs will either be off, on, flashing slow, or flashing fast depending on the dB of the signal.
