ECOTEL
also requires a SIM card. SIM cards can be used for both the GSM900
and the GSM1800 mobile phone networks.
If SMSs are frequently sent,
mobile phone card agreements with monthly basic rental charges, low
SMS costs and generally unlimited validity.
If SMSs are sent less frequently,
without basic rental charges is recommended. In this case, SMS costs
are somewhat higher and validity is usually limited to either 6 or 12
months. After expiration of validity, the prepaid card must be
replenished. Usually, this requires removing the card from ECOTEL
in order to replenish it by using a mobile phone. Prepaid cards can be
remotely reloaded. Information is available from the internet home page
of your provider.

the call must originate from the telephone number which was

VIERLING
designated in the configuration. Otherwise, the control-command will not
be processed. Furthermore, the CLIP function in the mobile phone (or
fixed network phone) must be activated.
A
TTENTION
CLI-identification will function only if ones own telephone
number is forwarded (CLIP). Not every telephone is capable
of forwarding its own telephone number. Your telephone
network provider can activate this feature.
N
You can reduce costs using "Controlling with Phone Calls".
OTE
:
Costs are not incurred in this case because ECOTEL
doesn't accept the call.
5.3 Querying
®
C6
5.3.1 Status Query with SMS
Using a mobile phone, it is possible to query the status of relays R1 and
R2, the status of inputs I1 to I4 and the counter status. This procedure
requires sending a control-SMS to the telephone number of the SIM
card in ECOTEL
®
C6.
In this case, control-SMSs for the status query consist of only one
control-command.
S=?
•
®
ECOTEL
C6 then sends the current status of R1, R2, I1 to I4 and the
counter status to a telephone number/ e-mail address or to the
dispatcher of the control-SMS.

VIERLING
SMS PIN-identification serves as protection against unauthorized status
query. If the PIN-identification has been activated for status query with
SMSs, then control-SMSs must always begin with the SMS-PIN.
Examples for control-SMSs:
S=?
•
1234,S=?
•
(SMS PIN-Identification)
Example for status
R1=on,R2=off,I1=off,I2=on,I3=123,I4=148,
Significance:
Relay R1: relay R1 responds
•
Relay R2: relay R2 releases
•
Input I1: contact open
•
Input I2: contact closed
•
Input I3: measuring voltage 123 x 0.05 volts = 6.15 volts
•
Input I4: measuring voltage 148 x 0.1 volts = 14.8 volts
•
5.3.2 Status Query with Calls
Status can also be queried from a mobile phone or any telephone by
calling ECOTEL
number of the SIM card in ECOTEL
®
C6. This procedure requires calling the telephone
®
C6 and then waiting for at least
two rings.
ECOTEL
®
C6 will then send the current status of R1, R2, I1 to I4 and
the counter status either to a telephone number/ e-mail address that has
been predetermined in the configuration or directly to the caller.
For information regarding protection from unauthorized status queries,
refer to section 5.2.2 Controlling with Phone Calls.

5.4 Reporting/ Alarming
If one of the alarming conditions should occur at the inputs of I1 to I4 (as
defined in the configuration), then ECOTEL
®
C6 will automatically send
a message (SMS) and will inform/ alarm you about the alarm condition
with an SMS, with a fax or with an e-mail. The message consists of a
status summary (the condition of relays R1, R2 and the condition of
inputs I1 to I4) plus the actual message text.
Example
R1=on,R2=off,I1=off,I2=on,I3=123,I4=148,
Reporttext x
®
While the SMS is being sent (about 2 seconds), ECOTEL
C6 can not
immediately react to other alarm conditions at inputs I1 to I4. If the
alarm condition persists, that SMS will only be sent after the first SMS
has been dispatched.
