1.2 Differences between the 2G, 3G and 3GA models
The only difference between the 2G and 3G models is the type of the modem used. The 3G (UMTS) communication makes possible higher speed, thereby increasing the speed of reporting. The 2G and 3G models can be used in Europe, while the 3GA model is equipped with a pentaband UMTS/HSPA modem that can be used worldwide. There is no difference between the mentioned models with regard to the available functions or configuration.
For the 2G model, calls made through the GSM network will delay all other communication, since 2G modems are unable to use multiple communication channels simultaneously.
1.3 Differences between the IN4.R2 and the IN6.R1 models
The IN4.R2 model comes with 4 contact inputs (IN1 to IN4) and 2 relay outputs (OUT1, OUT2), while the IN6.R1 has 6 contact inputs (IN1 to IN6) and 1 relay output (OUT1).
2 Connecting the terminals and putting into operation
Attention! Do NOT connect the metallic parts of the GSM antenna connector or the terminals of the device directly or indirectly to the protective ground, because this may damage the device!
2.1 Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) function
The product is provided with built-in automatic power disconnection (Under Voltage Lock Out) function. Depending on the product type, if the supply voltage drops below
8.4…8.2V, the device turns off automatically and it turns back on when the supply voltage is at least 11.2…11.4V.
The minimum supply voltage level required to turn the device on is 11.2…11.4V! After turned on with supply voltage higher than 11.2…11.4V, the device can operate stably even at lower supply voltage, but not lower than 8.4…8.2V.
If the device is powered from a power supply provided with a backup battery and there is no other electrical load on the battery when charging fails (e.g. in case of a power cut), while the battery discharges, the device turns off automatically at 8.4…8.2V voltage level.
Thereafter, if the battery is in good condition, it can regenerate and can reach the terminal
voltage of 11.2…11.4V where the device turns back on, then the battery may discharge again
below 8.4…8.2V. This may result a continuous switching on and off cycle that lasts until the battery can no longer regenerate to the 11.2…11.4V voltage level. If this phenomenon occurs,
the battery is flat and it should be replaced.

2.2 Input wiring
For the inputs, the normally closed or normally open dry contact should be connected between the given input (IN1IN4/IN6) and the negative of the power input (V-) terminal.
If a normally open dry contact is used to activate the input, choose the NO (normally open)
option at the given input’s settings. In this case the input becomes activated when the given
input (IN1IN4/IN6) and the V- terminal is shorted. If a normally closed dry contact is used to activate the input, choose the NC (normally closed)
option at the given input’s settings. In this case the input becomes activated when shorting
between the given input (IN1IN4/IN6) and the V- terminal is removed.
2.3 Output wiring
The output provides normally open (N.O.) dry (potential free) relay contact by default and closed contact upon control.

2.6 SIM card socket
The SIM card socket can be accessed by removing the cover of the aperture found on the device enclosure. The cover can be removed by pressing it with your fingernail towards the LED at the end where the gap is and then pulling it outwards. Insert the SIM card in the socket. The services to be activated on the SIM card installed into the device should be chosen according to which services of the device you wish to use. Basically, for communication with receivers and servers it requires a SIM card with mobile Internet access that may use either public or private APN. The functions that use SMS sending need SMS service and the ones that use calls require GSM voice call service.
Installing the SIM card:
1. pull the metal security lock of the SIM socket towards the
LED until it clicks
2. reach under the metallic security lock with your fingernail
and pull it outwards to open the socket
3. slide the SIM card into the opened part with the contacts
facing down, as shown in the figure
Close back the opened part together with the SIM card.  Press down carefully the metallic security lock and pull it
towards the side of the enclosure until it clicks.

3 General information on the notification process
Notifications are performed based on the events available in the device. Each event can be configured to send report to CMS over IP or DTMF-based voice call, as well as to send notifications to users by call or SMS. There are 2 groups of events available in the device: input events and service events. An input event is generated when an input is activated, but only if the device is armed or the given input is configured as a 24h zone. Non-24h inputs will not generate events when the device is disarmed. Service events are generated and can send notifications also when the device is disarmed. Service events are such as arming, disarming, error events, periodic test report. When an event is generated, the device starts sending the configured notifications. The priority of notification is the following: CMS, SMS, calls. The number of attempts for reporting to CMS have a separate logic, since reporting to CMS is based on notification templates. You can read more about this in the “Notification templates paragraph. Regarding text message sending and calls, the device makes 3 attempts to send a message and 3 attempts to make a call to a user phone number. The device will no longer try to report events for which reporting failed for more than 24 hours.

If the “Cloud usage” option is enabled and the cloud server availabilities are configured in the
same menu, the device will be continuously online, so it can be accessed at anytime via the cloud server. Otherwise it will only connect upon request sent by SMS, as mentioned below.
With this connection type, connection between the device and the Pager4 programming software will be established through the cloud server operated by the manufacturer.
The “System logs” option of the programming software cannot be used in case of remote connection over the Internet.
Admin password: the security password of the device (default superadmin password: 1234). Server address: the IP address of the cloud server (default: 54.75.242.103). Port: communication port number of the cloud server (default: 2020) Device ID: the device identifier of the Pager4 device to which you wish to connect.
The format of this unique, burned-in during production and thereby unchangeable device identifier used for cloud connection is: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF (6x2 hexadecimal characters).
You can read the device ID of the given device in the “Device ID” section of the “Status monitoring” menu, when connected to the device. The device will also send its device ID as a
reply to your request for connecting to the cloud server, sent by SMS to the device, about which you can read more below.
Connecting to the device through the cloud server:
Enter the connection password.
o Super administrator permission: full access to all settings. (Default password: 1234). o Administrator permission: full access to all settings except device identification settings. o Connecting remotely without a password is not possible.
Select the “Cloud” option in the “Connection type” section.Fill in the “Server address”, “Port” and “Device ID” fields.
Page 12
12
If cloud usage is enabled in the settings of the given device, the device keeps continuous
connection with the cloud server. In this case skip the SMS sending process mentioned below. Cloud usage can be enabled in the “General” settings menu. If cloud usage is disabled, the device will not keep continuous connection with the cloud server, it will only connect upon request. Therefore, if this is the case, before trying to connect remotely to the device, the request for connecting to the server should be sent by SMS to the phone number of the SIM card installed into the device. The device accepts the request for connecting to the cloud server from the configured and authorized user phone numbers. If the connecting request is sent from an unauthorized user phone number, or a number which is not configured in the device, the device password should be added in the message using the “PWD” parameter, as specified below. In case that the connecting request command is sent from unauthorized phone numbers without specifying the device password, or with the wrong password, the device will ignore the request and will not send any reply to these numbers.
Send the request command for connecting to the server (CONNECT,PWD=device password#)
by SMS to the phone number of the SIM card installed into the device and wait for the device’s
reply. As soon as the device connects to the server, it will send the following reply:
Connected to (IP address:port number) ID=(device identifier)
Using the “PWD” parameter is optional, according to the following: PWD: the device password can be specified using this parameter. The superadmin and admin
passwords are both accepted (default superadmin password: 1234). The PWD is an optional parameter which should be used only when sending commands from phone numbers which are not configured in the device, or from ones which are configured, but for which other than the "Accept call and don’t request password" option is assigned in the “Incoming call management” section – such phone numbers are considered unauthorized, therefore in this case the password is required).
Example on the usage of the command mentioned above:
When sending from an authorized phone number: CONNECT# When sending from an unauthorized phone number: CONNECT,PWD=1234#
If cloud usage is disabled in the device settings, the device remains connected to the cloud server for 10 minutes only and thereafter in case of inactivity it disconnects automatically, therefore you have 10 minutes to connect to the device after it sends the reply message.
If no reply is received from the device within 1 or 2 minutes, please check if the settings are correct and if the circumstances of sending the request for connecting satisfy the conditions mentioned above.
Possible error messages:
Missing APN
the APN is not configured
Network connection error
the device is unable to connect to the Internet due to an error, faulty settings, or missing Internet service
Page 13

Port: communication port number (the default TELLMon communication port is: 3535) Device ID: the device identifier of the Pager4 device to which you wish to connect to.
The format of this unique, burned-in during production and thereby unchangeable device identifier used for the TELLMon protocol is: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF (6x2 hexadecimal characters).
Connecting to the device through a server/receiver which uses the TELLMon protocol:
Enter the connection password.
o Super administrator permission: full access to all settings. (Default password: 1234). o Administrator permission: full access to all settings except device identification settings. o Connecting remotely without a password is not possible.
Select the “TELLMon” option in the “Connection type” section.Fill in the “Receiver address”, “Port” and “Device ID” fields.
Click on the “Connect button.  The Adapter2 device that communicates using the TELLMon protocol is not online
continuously. The device connects to the receiver only when it sends a supervision
or event message, therefore after clicking the “Connect” button, you have to wait
until the device next connects to the receiver for sending a supervision or event message. This is when the programming software will have possibility to connect to the device. Therefore, if the device is configured to rarely send supervision messages towards the TELLMon receiver, in this case the programming software will be able to connect to the device after a long time only (depending on the interval of supervision message sending).
The connection status is indicated by the status icon in the top left corner of the program
window:
disconnected (green) connected (gray)
After connecting using the valid password, you can configure the device, change settings,
download event logs, monitor system status and perform controls.
To disconnect from the device click on the “Disconnect button.

5 How to use the Pager4 programming software
5.1 Connection menu
5.1.1 Viewing the settings options and configuring offline
The Pager4 programming software supports all Pager4 device models, therefore the software shows the settings and control options available specifically in a given device model, which are different from the common parameters (e.g. differences between the PRO and non PRO, or device models with a different number of inputs) only when connecting the given device model, i.e. a Pager4 device has to be connected in order to show the specific settings options of that device model.
However, using the “Offline device selector” it is possible to view the settings options of any Pager4 device model and to configure and save the settings in advance offline, without connecting the device.
If you wish to view the settings options of a Pager4 device model, or to configure and save settings without connecting the device, click on the arrow found next to the
Offline device selector button, select the desired device model from the drop-down menu and then click on the Offline device selector button to load the settings options of
the selected device model.

Restart the device:
If needed, you can restart the connected device by clicking on this button.
Restore factory default settings:
By clicking on this button, you can restore the factory default settings in the device.
Restoring the factory default settings will erase the actual settings, therefore please save your settings if needed. The reset process may take more than 1 minute and involves a device restart. Wait until the device restarts and the LED indicator starts working again. The option of restoring the factory default settings is also available without entering the device password. Factory reset can also be performed using the microswitch found on the hardware. Further details you can find in chapter “Factory reset”. The factory default settings cannot be restored if the device has been locked in the settings. If you have forgotten the device passwords and the device is locked, only the manufacturer can restore the factory default settings in the service center.
5.1.3 Device register
The device register serves for storing and easy handling of device availabilities used for remote programming. You can add new device availabilities to the database and also edit, delete and clone entries for easy adding of devices with similar availabilities. When connecting remotely, you can easily select by name the device you wish to connect to from the “Device name” drop-down menu, out of the devices added to the database. In the drop-down menu the program indicates which types of connection have been configured for the given device, which helps you select the appropriate connection type.
If you add a new device availability in the connection type section, the program will add it automatically to the device register database by using the device ID as device name, which you can then change by editing the given entry. The database is stored locally on the computer.
Page 20
20
Function buttons available in the “Device register” menu:
: save database to file
: load database from file
: add new device
: clone entry (duplicate)
: edit entry
: delete entry
Data stored by the device register:
Device name: custom name SIM identifier (ICCID): the identifier of the SIM card inserted into the device (if the SIM card is
inserted, the software reads the ID automatically from the device and inserts the data in this field when you create a new device availability entry)
Comment: in this field you can enter custom comments related to the given device Connection type: you can configure multiple remote availabilities for the same device
(TEX-MVP, TELLMon, cloud, peer-to-peer), according to what type of server or receiver the device connects to. The availabilities belonging to given types of connection can be configured under the tabs labeled with the name of the connection type.
A green icon will be shown on the tabs of connection types for which device availabilities have already been provided, and a red icon will be shown on the tabs where availabilities have not been configured or the data are deficient. To make it easier for you, the program will automatically fill in the data fields for connection types for which the availabilities are available (e.g. if the device is connected via USB, the program knows the availability of the cloud server, and the necessary device identifier will be read automatically from the device via USB).
Server/receiver address: the IP address or domain name of the server/receiver Device IP address: the static IP address of the device (in case of private APN) Port: the communication port number of the server/receiver Server password: (for TEX-MVP protocol only) the 20 hexadecimal-character server password
(5x4 characters separated by hyphen)
Device ID: the device identifier. The format of the device identifier is:
- for cloud usage and the TELLMon protocol: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF (6x2 hexadecimal
characters, unique, burned-in during production and thereby unchangeable device identifier). The device ID (used for cloud connection and the TELLMon protocol) of the connected device is shown in the “Status monitoring” menu / “Device ID” field.
- for the TEX-MVP protocol: FFF (3 hexadecimal characters)

Arming / Disarming:
Arming / Disarming options: the device can also be used as a standalone alarm control device
and can be armed/disarmed using dry contacts on inputs or remotely by phone call or SMS, or by using the arming/disarming controls in the programming software. For arming/disarming by dry contacts you can use any accessory which has dry contact outputs, e.g. access control keypad, card reader, RF remote controller, key switch or a simple switch, pushbutton, etc. In order to make it possible to use the device according to the demands, different arming/disarming options are available:
Always armed: choose this control mode if you do not wish to arm and disarm the device,
but the inputs should always be armed, events should be generated and notifications should be sent when activated. In this case arming and disarming will not be available and all inputs will act as 24h zones.
Bistable contact: choose this control mode if you wish to arm and disarm the device using
a toggle switch or relay output (open or closed). This control mode uses input IN4 (for the IN4.R2 model) or input IN6 (for the IN6.R1 model), which in this case can be used for arming/disarming only. When input IN4/IN6 is active, the device will be armed, and when inactive, the device will be disarmed. Assigning the open/closed state of the dry contact to the active/inactive state of the input can be done by configuring the input type (normally open or normally closed) for the given input (IN4/IN6). For normally open (NO): open=inactive=device disarmed, closed=active=device armed. For normally closed (NC): open=active=device armed, closed=inactive=device disarmed. Since the state of the dry contact defines the armed/disarmed status, therefore remote arming and disarming is not available for this control mode.
Impulse on one input: choose this control mode if you wish to arm and disarm the device
by dry contact impulses (e.g. pushbutton, or monostable relay output) using up one input. This control mode uses input IN4 (for the IN4.R2 model) or input IN6 (for the IN6.R1 model), which in this case can be used for arming/disarming only. The device will become armed when input IN4/IN6 is activated shortly (impulse), then it will become disarmed upon next short activation of the same input. Assigning the open/closed state of the dry contact to the active/inactive state of the input can be done by configuring the input type (normally open or normally closed) for the given input (IN4/IN6). For normally open (NO): open=inactive, closed=active. For normally closed (NC): open=active, closed=inactive. Remote arming and disarming is also available for this control mode.
Impulse on two inputs: choose this control mode if you wish to arm and disarm the device
by dry contact impulses (e.g. pushbuttons, or monostable relay outputs) using up two inputs. This control mode uses inputs IN3 and IN4 (for the IN4.R2 model) or inputs IN5 and IN6 (for the IN6.R1 model), which in this case can be used for arming/disarming only. The device will become armed when input IN3/IN5 is activated shortly (impulse), then it will become disarmed when input IN4/IN6 is activated shortly. Assigning the open/closed state of the dry contact to the active/inactive state of the inputs can be done by configuring the input type (normally open or normally closed) for the given inputs (IN3/IN5 and IN4/IN6). For normally open (NO): open=inactive, closed=active. For normally closed (NC): open=active, closed=inactive. Remote arming and disarming is also available for this control mode.
Remote arming/disarming only: choose this control mode if you wish to use all inputs for
custom notifications, In this case the device cannot be armed and disarmed locally through the inputs. Arming and disarming can only be done remotely by phone call, SMS, or by using the arming/disarming controls in the programming software.
Page 24

Limitation of alarms (auto zone shutdown):
Maximum number of alarms per zone (1 to 100pcs): in this section you can configure the
maximum number of alarms (activation events) to be accepted from one input. This makes it possible to avoid a faulty detector connected to an input to generate alarms and notifications continuously. If the number of alarm events generated by an input reaches the value configured here, the given input will become restricted and the device will ignore further activation events of the given input. If the arming/disarming settings are not configured to “Always armed, disarming and rearming the device will re-enable the restricted input, then alarm events will be accepted again from the given input, but again only the number of alarm events configured. If the arming/disarming settings are configured to Always armed”, or the 24h zone” option is enabled for the given input, the restricted input will be re-enabled automatically when the time configured at the
Duration of limitation” option expires. The restriction only applies to inputs for which the Auto shutdown” option is enabled.
Duration of limitation (1 to 24h): in this section you can configure how long the device should ignore an input which has reached the limitation value entered at "Maximum number of alarms per zone" option. When this period of time expires, the alarm counter will be reset automatically and the input will be enabled again. This setting only applies to inputs for which both the
Auto shutdown” and “24h zone” option is enabled, or to any input for which the “Auto shutdown” option is enabled, if the arming/disarming settings are configured to „Always armed”.
Periodic test report:
Interval of sending (1 to 168h): the interval of periodic test report sending.  Time of day (hh:mm): the time of day for periodic test report sending.
Cloud server:
Cloud usage: if this option is enabled, the device will connect to the cloud server operated by
the manufacturer and will stay connected continuously. Using the cloud server, special services become available, such as remote programming, control and monitoring of your device. If enabled, the device will always be online and thereby accessible at anytime. If disabled, the device will connect to the cloud server only upon request sent by SMS to the phone number of the device. You can read more about this in the “Remote connecting to devices via cloud
service” paragraph.
Server address: the IP address of the cloud server (default: 54.75.242.103) Server port: the port number of the cloud server (default: 2020)
Identification:
User account ID: the user account ID necessary for Contact ID reporting to CMS. The events
and, if using the TELLMon or TEX protocol, the supervision messages are also sent using the user account ID configured in this section. The user account ID length is 4 hexadecimal characters and the following characters can be used: 0..9, A, B, C, D, E, F.
Group ID: the CMS identifier in hexadecimal format. This is only required if the TEX protocol is used for reporting to CMS. If you do not possess this identifier, please contact your reseller.
Device ID: the device identifier in hexadecimal format. This is only required if the TEX protocol is used for reporting to CMS. The length is 3 characters and the following characters can be used: 0…9, A, B, C, D, E, F.
Page 25
25
SIA user account ID: in case of using the SIA IP protocol, the supervision messages are sent to CMS using the user account ID configured in this section. The length of the SIA user account ID is 1 to 6 hexadecimal characters, and the following characters can be used: 0..9, A, B, C, D, E, F. Do not fill in the account ID section with zeros!
Note! The user account ID, group ID, device ID and SIA user account ID are only needed if reporting to CMS is used.
Low supply voltage event:
Low voltage threshold: the device has built-in supply voltage monitoring function. In this
section you can configure the threshold from 10 to 30V, at which the device will generate the “Low supply voltage” event. The event will be generated if the supply voltage is continuously at, or below the configured level for at least 30 seconds.
Low voltage restore threshold: In this section you can configure the threshold from 10 to
30V, at which the device will generate the “Low supply voltage” restore event. The event will be generated if the supply voltage is continuously at, or above the set level for at
least 30 seconds after a “Low supply voltage” event.
System time:
NTP server 1,2: in this section you can select one of the default NTP servers or you can also
configure custom NTP servers which you wish to use for system time synchronization. The device synchronizes the system time from the GSM network and if this fails, it will use the NTP servers. If synchronization from the NTP servers also fails, it will synchronize the date and time using the timestamp received from a CMS server/receiver, if CMS is used.
Time zone: select the time zone according to the location of installation. The device adjusts the system time according to the time zone setting. If the setting is wrong, there will be difference between the system time and the local time and therefore the timestamps of the events will also be wrong and the periodic test report will also be sent at the wrong time of day.
Miscellaneous settings:
Incoming call from unknown phone number: in this section you can configure what the
device should do upon a phone call received from a phone number which is not configured in the device as a user phone number, or a call received with hidden caller ID. You can configure the device to accept or reject these calls. Independently of the selected option, receiving a call from an unknown phone number also generates a service event, which you can configure separately to control the output(s) or send notifications.
SMS forwarding phone number: the device forwards the messages received by its SIM card to the phone number configured in this section (e.g. balance information received from the GSM service provider in case of pre-pay card). The received messages are deleted automatically after forwarding. If no phone number is configured, the device deletes all incoming messages without forwarding.

CID reporting to CMS over IP:
You can configure up to 4 IP availabilities of CMS servers or receivers as follows. Name: CMS server or receiver name. The name entered in this section is used for identification
of the server/receiver within the program, and the program will also use this name when configuring notification templates.
IP address/domain name: CMS server or receiver IP address or domain name. When a SIM card with a private APN is used, and the given server or receiver is not in the same APN, it is necessary to enable access of the server/receiver IP address in the given APN.
Port: CMS server or receiver communication port number. Protocol: select the appropriate communication protocol for the given server or receiver from
the drop-down menu. Available protocols: TELLMon, TEX, SIA IP (ANSI/SIA DC-09-2007). Supervision message: enable/disable supervision message sending. Supervision message
sending cannot be disabled in case of using the TEX or the TELLMon communication protocol. Supervision message interval / Unit of measure: if supervision message sending is enabled,
you can configure the sending interval and unit of measure. The supervision message sending interval can be configured from 10 seconds to 30 minutes.
Network protocol: according to the chosen communication protocol you can use TCP or UDP network protocol. The UDP protocol allows for less data traffic. For TEX communication protocol only TCP network protocol is available.
AES key: the custom AES encryption key can be used for SIA IP protocol only. If an encryption key is configured, the SIA IP packages will be encrypted with the given key and they have to be decrypted on the receiver side using the same key. The maximum length of the AES key is up to 16 characters, or up to 32 characters in case of using hexadecimal format.
Send each message in a new session: if required for the given receiver, in case of the SIA DC-09 protocol it can be enabled to send each message in a new TCP session. In case of using UDP, if this option is enabled, the device will open a new port for each message.
CID reporting to CMS over DTMF-based voice call:
Please note that in certain cases you may experience issues with reporting to CMS over DTMF­based voice call. Success of communication highly depends on the properties of the given GSM network, such as line quality, line noise and DTMF handling. Due to network digitalization, DTMF signal tones might get distorted while being processed by the network in such extent that the receiver will not be able to interpret the transmitted Contact ID event codes. The risk of this is even higher if the signal is transmitted through multiple GSM operators (e.g. if using SIM cards from different operators on the transmission and reception site). The device offers an option to adjust the signals in order to correct such problems, therefore if necessary, special DTMF communication parameters can be configured in the “Advanced settings” menu.
You can configure up to 2 DTMF receiver phone numbers (TEL1 DTMF and TEL2 DTMF) as follows.
Name: CMS DTMF receiver name. The name entered in this section is used for identification of the receiver within the program, and the program will also use this name when configuring notification templates.
Phone number: the phone number of the DTMF receiver.
Page 30
30
User phone number settings:
You can configure up to 10 user phone numbers (TEL1 to TEL10) for voice calls, SMS sending and remote control by SMS and calls.
Name: user name. The name entered in this section will be used upon selecting the notification channels when configuring events.
Phone number: user phone number. Event acknowledgement options: when the device sends a notification by call, it requires a
confirmation that the notification has been received, otherwise it will retry to deliver the notification. In this section you can configure the actions required from each user upon receiving a notification by voice call. Available options:
Accept call to acknowledge: notifications will be acknowledged automatically upon
accepting the calls. After accepting the call, wait at least 3 seconds before ending the call.
Reject or accept call to acknowledge: notifications will be acknowledged automatically if
the calls are rejected by user, and also if the calls are accepted.
Press to acknowledge: notifications have to be acknowledged by pressing the star ()
key on the phone after accepting the call. The device will confirm that it has received the command by a short signal tone.
Press to acknowledge or # to stop notification: notifications have to be
acknowledged by pressing the star () key on the phone after accepting the call. The device will confirm that it has received the command by a short signal tone. Notification of further users on the given event can be stopped by pressing the hash (#) key on the phone. The device will confirm that it has received this command by three short signal tones. By pressing the hash (#) key, this also confirms reception of the notification at the same time, so it is not necessary to press the star () key too. By this option it is also possible to cancel all pending notifications for all events by entering the device password# command (e.g. 1234#) using the phone’s keys. The superadmin and admin passwords are both accepted.
Incoming call management: in this section you can configure for each user what should the device do when it receives a call from the given user. Independently of the selected option, receiving a call from a user phone number also generates a service event, which you can configure separately to control the output(s) or send notifications. Available options:
Accept call and request password: the device accepts the call which it confirms by a
short signal tone and then the password should be entered in order to accept commands. The superadmin and admin passwords are both accepted. The user needs to enter the valid password using the phone’s keys as follows: 9device password# (e.g. 91234#). If the valid password has been entered, the device confirms this by three short signal tones, otherwise a long signal tone will be emitted. If the command is wrong (missing or #), no signal tone will be emitted. After the password has been accepted, the caller can use commands as specified in the list of DTMF commands. The device will also identify the user’s phone number by CLIP service, which makes it possible to perform further actions automatically upon receiving the call. For this, an “incoming call from user” event should be configured for the given phone number at the service events.
Accept call and don’t request password: the device accepts the call which it confirms by
a short signal tone and then commands can be used as specified in the list of DTMF commands, without the need of entering the password. The device will also identify the user’s phone number by CLIP service, which makes it possible to perform further actions
automatically upon receiving the call. For this, an “incoming call from user” event should
be configured for the given phone number at the service events.
Page 31
31
Reject call: the device will reject calls received from the given user phone number, but will
identify the phone number by CLIP service for further actions, which are available by configuring an incoming call from user” event for the given phone number at the service events. By rejecting the calls, the configured actions can be performed free of charge (except if the given GSM service provider applies a charge for rejected calls as well).
E-mail notification recipients (Pager4 PRO only):
You can configure up to 4 e-mail addresses (MAIL1 to MAIL4) to which the device will send notification upon event occurrence, according to the event settings.
Name: user/recipient name. The name entered in this section will be used upon selecting the notification channels when configuring events.
E-mail address: user/recipient e-mail address. You can configure 1 e-mail address per user.
5.2.4 Notification templates
Notification templates should only be configured if reporting to CMS is needed. In this menu you can configure different templates according to which the device will send reports to CMS servers and receivers. For quick and easy setup, the device contains 2 built-in templates, named as
EMPTY” and “DEFAULT”, which cannot be deleted, but their configuration can be changed if
needed. If you wish to add new notification templates, this should be done prior to configuring events. Any template can be assigned to any event, thus reports can be directed to the desired servers and receivers using the desired priorities. Servers/receivers are classified into two groups, primary and backup. When an event occurs, the given report will be sent to all servers and receivers configured as primary in the notification template assigned to the given event. In case that none of the primary servers/receivers are available, the device will try to report to the servers/receivers configured as backup.
The order of reporting to servers and receivers configured as backup in a template corresponds to the numbering (1 to 6) of the channels in the template. The priority depends on the classification of the configured servers/receivers (primary or backup). Primary servers/receivers will be notified first.

Input properties:
Identifier: the identifiers of the inputs cannot be changed. They are used for identification of the
inputs in the program. Input type: the input can be normally open (NO), or normally closed (NC). When set to NO,
event is generated when the input circuit is closed, while when set to NC, opening the input circuit generates an event. The input is closed when the given input IN1…IN4/IN6 is shorted to
V-” terminal (DC power negative). Sensitivity / unit of measure: state changes of the input shorter than the value entered in this
section with regard to activation of the input are ignored by the device. The unit of measure can also be selected (milliseconds, seconds or minutes).
Restore sensitivity / unit of measure: state changes of the input shorter than the value entered in this section with regard to restoration of the input are ignored by the device. The unit of measure can also be selected (milliseconds, seconds or minutes).
Delay settings:
Entry delay: in this section you can configure the time available to disarm the device after
violating the given zone. The device ignores state changes of the given input for the time of the entry delay, so input event will not be generated until the time expires. If the time expires and the system is still armed, an input event will be generated. The entry delay can be configured in seconds.
Exit delay: in this section you can configure the time for which state changes of the given input will be ignored after arming the device. If the given zone is violated during the exit delay, input event will not be generated. The exit delay can be configured in seconds.
Zone options:
24h zone: if this option is enabled, the given input becomes armed continuously and does not
disarm when the device is disarmed. State changes of the given input will generate input events even if the device is disarmed.
Auto shutdown: if this option is enabled, generating events by the given input will be limited
according to the “Limitation of alarms” settings in the “Generalsettings menu. The device will
ignore state changes of the given input after the number of events generated by it reaches the configured limit. For further details please read the specification of the mentioned settings. If disabled, the given input can generate unlimited number of events.
Force: if this option is enabled the device will ignore the state of the given input upon arming. If the given input is activated upon arming the device, it will become armed after it restores. If this option is disabled, arming will be forbidden if the given input is activated.
Follow: if this option is enabled, the given input will take over the properties (entry delay, instant) of the first violated zone (input) after arming. If entry delay is configured for the first violated zone, the follow zone will use the same entry delay, or if the first violated zone is instant (no entry delay is configured for the given zone), the follow zone will be instant too.

Example for modification of the stream URL, if using only one camera: Original URL: rtsp://192.168.1.240:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif
Modified URL in case of using static IP address: rtsp://WAN IP:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif
Modified URL in case of using static IP address and username/password: rtsp://username:password@WAN IP:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype….
Modified URL in case of using domain name:
rtsp://domain name:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif
Modified URL in case of using domain name and username/password:
rtsp://username:password@domain name:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype….

signal level in response SMS). If needed, substitute “yyyy”
with the device password (see specification below).
*Arming and disarming will be refused if the “Always armed” or “Bistable contact” option is selected at the “Arming / Disarming options” in the “General” settings menu. In these cases
the device cannot be armed and disarmed remotely.
Page 61

PWD: the device password can be specified using this parameter. The superadmin and admin passwords are both accepted (default superadmin password: 1234). The PWD is an optional parameter which should be used only when sending commands from phone numbers which are not configured in the device, or from ones which are configured, but for which other than the "Accept call and don’t request password" option is assigned in the “Incoming call management” section – such phone numbers are considered unauthorized, therefore in this case the password is required). If the device password is not specified in the control command sent from unauthorized phone numbers, the command will not be executed by the device.
CRQ = request confirmation in response SMS (optional parameter, to be used if confirmation is requested). If this parameter is added to the control command, the device will respond to the sender by SMS with information regarding the execution of the command.
Commands should always begin with star "" and end with hash "#" character. It is also possible to send multiple commands in one message, but the message should not exceed 60 characters. If the response message to be received from the device would exceed 60 characters, only the first 60 characters will be sent. In case of making mistakes in the command, the following response will be received: "SYNTAX ERROR!" and the command(s) will not be executed.
Responses messages sent by the device (when using the CRQ parameter):
Armed = the device has been armed Disarmed = the device has been disarmed Arming failed = the device could not be armed* Disarming failed = the device could not be disarmed* Relay1 activated: 54 sec. = output OUT1 activated for 54 seconds Relay1 activated: Permanent. = output OUT1 activated permanently (bistable mode)
Relay1 deactivated. = output OUT1 deactivated Unauthorized User! = Wrong or missing password
Examples for command usage:
To activate output OUT1 permanently (bistable mode):
If the command is sent from a phone number for which the "Accept call and don’t
request password" option is selected at incoming call management options and no confirmation is requested, then the command will be: R1=ON#
If the command is sent from a phone number for which the "Accept call and request
password" or the “Reject calloption is selected at incoming call management options,
then device password will also be required, therefore the command will be: R1=ON, PWD=1234# (if the superadmin or admin password is 1234)
If the command is sent from a phone number which is not configured in the device and
confirmation is requested, then the command will be: R1=ON, PWD=1111, CRQ#
Example for module status information sent by the device:
Status information refers to states and values measured in the moment when the device sends the message!
Z1=R shows the state of inputs IN1…IN4/IN6 (R=Ready/idle, A=Activated) Z2=A Z6=R Armed shows the armed/disarmed status R1=ON, 37 sec shows the state of the output OUT1 (ON or OFF), the remaining time till
deactivation, or “Permanent” if it has been activated permanently
RF: 23 shows the GSM signal level from 1 to 31

7 Factory reset
The factory reset process will clear all settings and event logs in the device and will restore the factory default values including the device password! The factory default settings cannot be restored if the device has been locked in the settings. If you have forgotten the device passwords and the device is locked, only the manufacturer can restore the factory default settings in the service center. You can perform a factory reset using the programming software, according to the instructions found in the “Connection type” chapter, or using the reset button found on the device, as follows:
power up the device keep the reset microswitch pressed for at least
8 seconds, then release. The reset microswitch is placed in horizontal position on the PCB, near the corner of the SIM card socket, closed to the LED indicator (see the picture on the right hand side).
the device will restart after it clears the memory,
which takes about 10-20 seconds
wait at least 1 minute after releasing the
microswitch to let the device create the clean configuration.
