1. System operation and technical details
1.1 The module’s short description
The Pager 7 is a versatile 3G-based communicator module, that can be used to perform small automation tasks, surveillance tasks (with camera management) and it can also be used as a stand-alone security system. The product’s speciality is the multiplatform application for programming the Pager 7 device remotely through the internet or via USB.
1.2 Automatic power disconnection function
The Pager 7 is provided with built-in automatic power disconnection function. If the supply voltage drops below 8.3V, the module turns off automatically and it turns back on when the supply voltage is at least 11.6V.
Attention! The minimum supply voltage level required to turn the module on is 11.6V!
After turned on with supply voltage higher than 11.6V, the module can operate stably even at lower supply voltage, but not lower than 8.3V.
If the module 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 module turns off automatically at 8.3V voltage level.
Thereafter, if the battery is in good condition, it can regenerate and can reach the terminal voltage of 11.6V where the module turns back on, then the battery may discharge again below
8.3V. This may result a continuous switching on and off cycle that lasts until the battery can no longer regenerate to the 11.6V voltage level. If this phenomenon occurs, the battery is flat and it should be replaced.
1.3 Data traffic
The estimated traffic on the SIM card inserted into the Pager 7 module is expected to be approximate ~20 MB per month by minimum usage. The data traffic rate depends on the frequency of use, the stability of the cellular network and the services used.
Data traffic generating services:
Remote programming/controlling
Reporting to a monitoring station
Downloading event log and configuration remotely
Firmware upgrade
Notification sending (e-mail, voice call, SMS)
Report sending
5
The rate of data traffic depends on the usage frequency and duration of the services listed above.
Attention! The actual data traffic can be the multiple of the minimum usage depending on
the used services!
1.4 Processing of personal data
For using some of the features the users need to specify certain personal information, just like their notification email address and phone number, SIM card’s PIN code and the location details of the device. This personal data is only required if you want to use features like e-mail notification sending.
Users’ consent to processing their personal data shall be deemed to be given on the basis of their clear and explicit consent by providing voluntarily the personal data in a direct or indirect way. The purpose of personal data processing is to ensure access to the system and thus to provide permission of use for users who wish to use the system. The system stores the personal data in the device’s memory.
The personal data are not accessible for third party, only for the system operator/installer and the assigned system administrators. The assigned system administrators are obliged to treat the personal data confidentially, in line with the legislative provisions, and shall not disclose the data to third party.
The Manufacturer takes any kind of responsibility for and in connection with the functionality and use of the system – including proper use of hardware and software – according to the relevant provisions of law.

2. Mounting the module and putting into operation
2.1 Module version
The Pager 7 has two module version. The first has 4 contact inputs (IN1...IN4) and 2 relay outputs (OUT1, OUT2) – Pager 7 Z4, while the second one has 6 inputs (IN1...IN6) and 1 output (OUT1) – Pager 7 Z6.
For connecting the module correctly, wiring diagrams of the corresponding version must be used!
2.2 Inputs and outputs
Attention! Do NOT connect the module’s terminals directly or indirectly to the protective
ground, because this may damage the module!
2.2.1 Connecting inputs
Both the inputs of Pager 7 and the event-actions for their activation can be customized, so the NO or NC wiring can be also used in accordance with the selected usage.
The normally closed and normally open contacts are considered between the selected input (eg.: IN1) and the negative „V”-terminal of the supply voltage and need to be connected accordingly.
For the proper operation of inputs, it is essential to specify the type of inputs (NO or NC) and enable them in the programming software. These settings are explained in detail in section 4.2 of this manual.
2.2.2 Connecting temperature sensor
Each input of Pager 7 is capable of handling temperature sensor (easyTemp). Connect the signal output of the temperature sensor to the selected input of the module and set the input type to temperature sensor in the programming software. This setting is explained in detail in section 4.2 of this manual.
2.2.3 Connecting outputs
The outputs of Pager 7 are normally opened (NO) so wire them accordingly to process the given task. The normally open (N.O.) output provides open contact by default and closed contact upon control. The maximum relay output load is 1A at 24V AC/DC voltage.
8
2.3 Powering the module
For powering Pager 7 module 9-30V DC is required. The module’s nominal current consumption is 120mA, however, it may occasionally increase to several times (up to 500mA at 12V DC). The incorrect power supply may cause the module to malfunction!
If the proper power supply cannot be assured otherwise, auxiliary power supply (230V AC/12V DC; 1A) can be ordered from the manufacturer.

2.5 SIM card related information
2.5.1 Selecting services
To select which services to activate on the SIM card, you need to know what features of Pager 7 you’d like to use in practice.
Several features of Pager 7 require having a mobile internet connection. A few of these features are remote programming, remote firmware update, reporting to a monitoring station and certain notification options like e-mail sending. In case the SIM card has no mobile internet service the module can be programmed only through USB connection and it can send only SMS or call notification.
To use the internet service, you need to enter the SIM card’s Access Point Name (APN) in the
programming software. You can obtain the SIM card’s public APN from your GSM provider. APN settings are explained in detail in section 4.1.1 of this manual.
The functions that use SMS sending need SMS service and the ones that use calls require GSM voice call service.

4. Programming the Pager 7 module
4.1 The module
After login the customizable active dashboard is displayed. For more details on editing the active dashboard see 4.4 section of this manual. In the header, you can find the drop-down menu icon, the TELL logo, the time and date, the module's actual GSM signal strength, the supply voltage, the sign out icon and the language selector from the left to the right.
The TELL logo brings back to the dashboard from anywhere. The time and date are automatically synchronized from the GSM network. If you want to
manually synchronize them from the computer, you can do so in the 'Module settings' menu. The signal strength in the header shows the module's actual GSM signal strength. Above 60%
the GSM signal strength is sufficient, between 60-40% is low and below 40% is very low. If the signal strength does not reach 40%, it is recommended that you try to improve the signal strength as described in section 2.6.
For more information on power supply see section 2.3. Each menu of Pager 7 has a built-in menu-specific help that can be accessed by clicking on the
question mark next to the title at the top of the page. To get information about the given menu item click on the question mark icon.
14
4.1.1 Module settings
In the 'Global settings' section, you can change the password for both access levels (admin and user). Password length must be between 4 and 10 characters. To change a password, you need to enter the current admin password. To confirm the changes, click the 'Save' button.
Notifications on available firmware updates will be sent to the main notification address, which is usually the installer’s e-mail address If there's an available update, a notification link will appear in the notification email which link will start the firmware update. The device sends an email notification about the success of the update.
Here you can specify the exact location of the device by selecting it on the map or entering the address. The coordinates will be automatically filled and stored during saving.
This helps the installer, so they can tell where the device is located even when they are remote accessing it.
15
In the 'GSM settings' section enters the PIN code to unlock the SIM card. In order to prevent the module from reaching the PUK code after entering multiple incorrect PIN codes, there’s a built­in protection. The device tries a PIN code only once and as soon as no more PIN1 trial left, stops trying.
In the same section, you can enter the SIM card's phone number, the daily SMS limit and the SMS centre number. SIM card providers may require the SMS centre number for their SMS service.
The device can also forward the incoming SMS messages. To use this feature, enter the desired phone number on the 'Phone numbers' page and then on the 'Module settings' page, select which phone numbers you want the incoming SMS messages to be forwarded to. For more details on setting up the phone numbers, see 4.5.1.
The SIM card's APN can be set in the 'Access point settings' section. You can obtain the SIM card's APN from your SIM card provider. In case the APN is not public you can also set the username and password in this section. It is important, that certain closed APNs do not allow to use the Internet freely, but provide access only to selected IP addresses. These closed APNs may block the use of Pager 7 features which require Internet access.
Attention! If the access point settings are incorrect, the module's internet based services
won't be available!
The 'TELL server settings' section is for setting up the server access. In default these fields are filled with the data of manufacturer's server reserved for this purpose, which are the followings:
Url: pager.devicemail.net Port: 2018
If the name resolution doesn't work with your service provider replace the URL by the following IP address: 54.75.242.103
Attention! If the server settings are incorrect, certain services of the module won't be
available!
16
At the bottom of the 'Module settings' page you can manually refresh the system time, date and firmware and you can also restart the Pager.
To manually update the Firmware, download the latest firmware from https://tell.hu/en/products/gprs-communicators/pager-7 page. Then 'Choose file' and click the 'Upload' button. If the firmware is not compatible with the Pager 7 programming software a popup notification
appears and if you are connected via USB, the automatic firmware update is also offered.
4.1.2 Module status
The page contains the most important information about the module. The dynamic wiring diagram is located at the top of the page. With the icons, this provides an overview of the wires connected to the inputs even when the module is remotely accessed.
The 'Input states' section lists the inputs with their icon, name, type and state. This part is changing dynamically as soon as the status of any input is changing.
In the 'Relay states' section the relays are listed with their icon, name and state. Like the input status, the status of the relay is also dynamically indicated by this page.
17
The 'Status of the partitions' section shows the name and armed/disarmed status of the partitions.
This is followed by the supply voltage, the GSM signal strength, the module's date, time and the time zone.
In the 'Status of the connections' section, you can check whether Pager 7 is currently connected to the GSM network, the Internet, the TELL server and whether is a USB connection detected.
The status indicators are also dynamically changing. The 'Pager info' section includes the device name, the device type and the hardware ID for
remote access. Information on the firmware running on the device, information on the SIM card, the programming software's version and the GSM network related information are also in this section. You can also find a QR code here that contains the hardware ID to help you log on from your mobile device.
4.2 Zone settings
Inputs, relays, zones and partitions can be configured in the 'Zone settings' menu. At the top of the page, the dynamic wiring diagram is located with the input icons set in the
'Input settings' section of this page.
18
Input settings:
Enter the name of the input, then select its type and icon. Right after the icon is selected, the wiring diagram above shows the selected icon.
The input type can be zone, switch, impulse switch or temperature sensor. In case of zone, switch and impulse switch we can choose whether it is normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC). If you don’t want to use an input, select the ’Not used’ option from the drop down list.
Attention! Do not leave unused inputs in NO or NC status as it may result false signals.
However, if the type of the unused input remains NC, it is mandatory to close it for correct operation.
We can also set a global prell delay. This applies to all inputs and serves to filter out the disturbances on the input. Pager 7 considers only those contacts as events, which are longer, then the time specified here and the event-actions are executed in this case only.
Output settings:
Here you can customize the 1 or 2 outputs depending on the device version. A relay can be bistable or monostable.
The output configured as bistable has two stable states: activated and deactivated. The bistable relay's output status is stable, meaning that it will not change until new control. Therefore, the delay cannot be set for a bistable relay.
If bistable mode is switched off, the relay will be monostable. The relay is normally open (NO), so it will be stable only in deactivated state. The monostable output becomes activated if an activation event occurs and remains activated for the time that is set in the 'Delay' field.
19
The output’s name and icon are also customizable. Right after the icon is selected, the wiring diagram above shows the selected icon.
Changes can be saved with the "Save" button at the bottom of the page. To cancel the changes, you have made since the last save click the "Reset" button.
Zone settings:
You can customize the inputs defined as zone in the 'Input settings' section and assign them to partitions (a group of zones). To use a zone, you need to enable it first. A disabled zone doesn't generate any events, so the signals coming from a zone can be blocked by disabling the zone. For example, in case of a possible failure, false signals coming from the zone can be eliminated by this setting.
Attention! Zones need to be enabled in order to let the incoming contacts to generate
event operations!
You can assign zones to partitions in the same field, as well as setting up entry and exit delay times, and 24h zones.
A 24h zone, irrespectively of arming and disarming the partitions, will always be armed. Under entry and exit delay times that period of time is meant, in which the system does not sign
zone alarm in case of zone detection. This might be needed during arming (entry delay) and disarming (exit delay) of the system.
Modifications can be saved with help of the ’Save’ button at the bottom of the page. To reject the modifications done since the last save click on the ’Reset’ button.
20
Partition configurations:
Here you can name partitions and configure whether the partition should be always armed, or you can prevent a partition from arming as long as it has an active zone.
This can be done by choosing ’Always armed’ or ’Prevent arm on active zone’ options.
4.3 Cameras
One of the new functions of Pager 7 is that it is able to manage IP cameras, and can assign the cameras to zones. In case of an alarm in the given zone, the images of all the cameras previously associated with the zone are available in the application with a single click from the alarm popup window. At this time the zone violation could even be recorded, which provides an opportunity for later play-back.
4.3.1 Camera settings
New camera can be added by a click on ’Add camera’ button. Here the name and the image URL of the camera picture planned to be used has to be entered.
The automatic update of the camera pictures on the dashboard and in ’View cameras’ menu point can be set if you choose ’Automatic refresh’.
The value displayed in ’Refresh delay’ field is the time passed by between the download of the pictures in seconds. Pager 7 starts to download the second picture following the successful loading of the first one.
21
Attention! Configurations regarding camera picture update will affect the camera pictures
of those cameras, which are placed on the active dashboard and in ’View cameras' menu point only.
In case you wish to enter the video URL of the IP camera too, it is possible in the Video URL field. This video stream, unlike snapshots will not be available within the application, but can be opened with an external player program.
The listed cameras can be sorted by assigning them to zones. A single camera might belong to more zones, and more cameras can be assigned to one zone. To save the modifications, click on the ’Save’ button.
Pager 7 is able to store the settings of altogether 16 IP cameras. Deleting existing cameras is possible by clicking on the dust-bin icon.
4.3.1.1 ONVIF camera link extraction
In case you possess an ONVIF camera and you wish to find out the link of such a camera, please follow our manual prepared for this aim, which you can find at the bottom of the https://tell.hu/en/products/gprs-communicators/pager-7 page among downloads.
4.3.2 View cameras
This menu point serves to look through and prepare records from the cameras, added in point
4.3.1. You can filter the cameras based on zones. If you click on the ’Select all’ button, you add all the cameras to the filtering conditions, while ’Select none’ button clears the selection of each zone.
Since it is not compulsory to assign a camera to a zone, cameras, not assigned to zones are shown in the module if ’Cameras without zone’ is selected.
You can start and stop recording by a click on ’Record’ button in the own fields of certain cameras, or by clicking on the ’Recording all’ button at the top right corner of the menu. In the

4.7 Signalling to monitoring station
Pager 7 is able to signal customizable Contact ID codes due to certain events towards one or
more remote monitoring servers. These signals can be assigned to events in ‘Event settings’
menu point.
27
For the transmission towards monitoring station, the remote monitoring servers have to be configured and ordered into schemes.
4.7.1 Surveillance settings menu point
Pager 7 is able to manage two types of remote monitoring protocol, these are TELLMON and SIA protocols.
To add a new remote monitoring station, the name of it can be freely chosen, however further data necessary for configuration can be provided by the remote monitoring station.
Parameters have to be fulfilled in case of TELLMON and SIA protocol as well:
Client ID:
A four-character-long identifier, which is used by the remote monitoring station to identify users. It can contain numbers and A, B, C, D, E and F letters.
Secondary Client ID:
In case of the remote monitoring station requires, a secondary Client ID needs to be given for client identification. The minimal length of this identifier is 3, the maximal is 16 characters.
Encryption key:
If the remote monitoring station’s server is using encrypted communication, the required key has to be entered into this field. The length of the key can be 16, 32 or 64 characters.
Keep alive frequency:
By entering the keep alive frequency, you can configure the frequency of status reports sent towards the remote monitoring server. This number needs to be synchronized with the receiver of the remote monitoring station.
URL:
Here you can enter the URL of the remote monitoring server.
Protocol:
Determined by the remote monitoring station, too whether it uses TCP or UDP protocol.
28
Port:
The module communicates with the remote monitoring server via this port.
Parameters, which need to be filled in only in case of SIA protocol:
Receiver number:
This is an optional field, which server as receiver identifier at the remote monitoring station. Its maximal length is 6 characters.
Account prefix:
This field serves for entering the maximum 6 characters long prefix of the client identifier. Changes can be saved with help of ‘Save’ button at the bottom of the page.
4.7.2 Surveillance schemas
From the remote monitoring servers, entered in point 4.7.1 you have to create schemas in order to make the module able to execute ‘Report action via net’ action and throughout Contact ID transmission. Maximum 6 schemas can be created this way.
You can list maximum 6 servers in one schema. These servers are in their basic status primary servers; you can change their status to backup by ticking in the ‘Server is backup’ option.
When you want to use the server schema for signalling, Pager 7 attempts to transmit the Contact ID code, entered into ‘Report action via netaction, to each primary servers. In case of unsuccessful connection with the primary servers, it goes through the backup servers, but in this case, stops after the first successful signal, does not attempt to reach the other backup servers.
29
If you contracted with two or more remote monitoring companies, it is worth to configure separate remote monitoring server schemas for each of them, with their own backup servers, throughout ensuring the arrival of signal.
4.8 Event settings
You can assign actions to be fulfilled to forthcoming events on Pager 7 module in this menu point. In case of certain type of events, you can add a restore event by ticking in ‘Add a reset event’ field. Events and restore events form event pairs, which can execute both activation and deactivation of an operation.
Event-reset event example is zone detection and deleting zone detection. In this case, if a zone got violated, the actions belonging to that event will prevail, while if a zone got left, according to the original event actions, but contradictory actions will be executed.
In case of actions, assigned to events have non obvious restore pairs, reset can not be added automatically. In this case you can manually choose and set up the operations, belonging to reset event.
