Configuration

8.2 Start-up procedure

1. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the initial data reset “jumper” is not inserted. Otherwise, the previous
configuration data would be lost and the initial data restored.

2. Power up the GSM-BUS communicator: the “ON” LED blinks to indicate the phase of initializing the GSM­BUS communicator.

3. After the initialization phase ends, the ON LED stops blinking and lights up steady to signal that the start-up
phase has been successful. After the start-up phase, the “ON” LED signals there is mains voltage.

4. Approximately 20 s after powering up, the GSM-BUS communicator activates the phone module start-up
procedure: the

“ ”

LED starts blinking quickly.

5. If the

“ ”

LED starts blinking slowly, the phone module start-up procedure and its subsequent registering on

the GSM network have concluded successfully.

The following table gives the

“ ”

LED signals according to the GSM module status.

8.3 GSM signal detection:

1. Check the start-up procedure has concluded correctly and the GSM module has been registered on the
GSM network: the

“ ”

LED blinks slowly.

2. Press the “GSM” button

3. The yellow LEDs will show the strength of the GSM signal, whose value is indicated by the “bars” corre­sponding to the LEDs on.

Installation is possible even with only the

“ ”

LED on (minimum level).

Installation is not possible when there is no GSM signal. In this case, after trying to change the position of the
antenna without any success, it is necessary to find a zone covered by the GSM signal where the GSM-BUS
communicator can be positioned.

8.4 Initial data reset procedure

Used to restore the initial settings of the GSM-BUS Communicator.
To activate the procedure, take the following steps:

1. Start with the GSM-BUS communicator off (Communicator not powered and without batteries or with flat
batteries).

2. Insert the “jumper” highlighted with number 8 in the “front view”.

3. Power up the GSM-BUS communicator: the “ON” LED blinks to indicate the phase of initializing the GSM­BUS communicator.

4. After the initialization phase, the initial data reset procedure is activated: the operation is highlighted by the

“

” LED blinking.

5. After the initial data reset procedure, the “

” LED stays off and the communicator start-up procedure is

restarted: from point 3. of the “Start-Up Procedure” chapter.

IMPORTANT: After the initial data reset procedure, remove the jumper for initial data reset from the
relevant contacts. If the jumper stays inserted in the contacts, each time the communicator is restart­ed, the initial data would be restored, losing the data of any configurations made.

8.5 Using SMS

It is possible to send SMS text messages for configuration, control and requests to the GSM-BUS
Communicator as follows:

<code>.<sms_content>/<sms_content>/...

where:

• <code> is the user code;

• is the information separator

• <sms_content> depends on the function you want to actuate

• / is the separator for configurations, commands, multiple requests

If the GSM-BUS Communicator receives SMS messages with the right user code but with errors in the content,
it will send an error SMS message containing the incorrect text and an indication of the command (or com­mands) with the incorrect content.

Example. Suppose you want to send an SMS message with 4 commands of which the first and last are incor­rect. The GSM-BUS Communicator will send an error SMS message with the following form:

GSM-BUS 1/1
<SMS received from the GSM Communicator containing the 4 commands>
Error on command/s:
1 4

In the case of SMS messages with multiple commands requiring an answer, the GSM-BUS Communicator is
able to send at most 8 SMS messages in response.

General configuration

9. General configuration

9.1 Language configuration

The GSM-BUS communicator interacts with the user via SMS messages and voice messages, available in the
following languages:
Italian, English, German, French, Spanish, Greek.
It is possible to change the language used by the GSM-BUS communicator.

9.1.1 Setting the language for voice messages

The choice of language used for the voice messages must be made using the PC software EasyTool through
which the voice messages in the chosen language are downloaded to the GSM-BUS communicator.

Note: Refer to the EasyTool instructions manual.

9.1.2 Setting the language for SMS messages

The choice of language used for the SMS messages can be made either via SMS or by using the PC software
EasyTool.

To change language, send the following SMS. The procedure does not require any SMS message for confirma­tion from the communicator.

<user code>.L.<language code>

where <language code> is the code of the language to set, using the following values:

IT = Italian
EN = English
DE = German
FR = French
ES = Spanish
EL = Greek

Example.
If the set user code is the default 1234 and you want to set English for the SMS messages, send the following

SMS:

1234.L.EN

9.1.3 Displaying the current language

It is possible to read the current language used by the communicator, either via SMS or with the PC application
EasyTool.

To display the language code via SMS send the following SMS message:

<user code>.?L

to which the communicator will respond with the SMS message:

GSM-BUS 1/1
SMS L:<language code>
VOC L:<language code>

13

General configuration

where <language code> has the meaning stated above, SMS L is the language used for the SMS mes­sages, VOC L is the language used for the voice alarm messages.

9.2 User code configuration

The GSM-BUS Communicator enables setting a numerical password (user code) composed of from a minimum
of 4 digits to a maximum of 10 digits providing access to its functions:

• Send an SMS message in the form of

<user code>.COD.<new code>

- If the sent code has more than 10 digits, the GSM-BUS Communicator will send the following SMS error
message:

GSM-BUS 1/1
Error:
Code too long

- If the sent code has less than 4 digits, the GSM-BUS Communicator will send the following SMS error mes­sage:

GSM-BUS 1/1
Error:
Code too short

- If the sent code has non-numerical characters, the GSM-BUS Communicator will send the following SMS
error message:

GSM-BUS 1/1
Error:
Inadmissible characters

- If the sent code respects the required form, the GSM-BUS Communicator will send the following SMS confir­mation message:

GSM-BUS 1/1
Code entered:
<code>

Example. If the set user code is the default 1234 and you want to change it with the new code 6767, the
SMS message to send must be

1234.COD.6767

The GSM-BUS Communicator will send the following SMS confirmation message:

Code entered:
6767

14

General configuration

9.3 Phone number configuration

The GSM-BUS Communicator is able to manage up to at most 8 phone numbers, which can be stored in the
same number of memory locations, to make voice calls and/or send SMS messages. The functions for manag­ing the phone numbers are given here:

nRead: to check the phone numbers saved in the 8 positions.

• Send an SMS message in the form of

<user code>.?NUM

The GSM-BUS Communicator will send a response SMS message with the list of all the saved phone num­bers in the following form:

GSM-BUS 1/1
1:<phone number 1>
2:<phone number 2>
3:<phone number 3>
4:<phone number 4>
5:<phone number 5>
6:<phone number 6>
7:<phone number 7>
8:<phone number 8>

Example. If the set user code is the default 1234 and the numbers saved in the GSM-BUS Communicator are
333778899 (position 1) and 333445566 (position 5), the SMS message to send must be

1234.?NUM

whereas the response SMS message sent by the GSM-BUS Communicator will be:

GSM-BUS 1/1
1:333778899
2:
3:
4:
5:333445566
6:
7:
8:

nAdd: used to save a phone number in one of the 8 positions. The procedure does not require any SMS mes-

sage for confirmation from the GSM-BUS communicator.

• Send an SMS message in the form of

<user code>.NUM<n>.<phone number>

where <n> is the memory location (from 1 to 8) and <phone number> s the number to save.

15

General configuration

Example. If the set user code is the default 1234 and you want to set the number 333778899 in position 1,
send the following SMS:

1234.NUM1.333778899

nDelete: used to delete a phone number saved in one of the 8 positions. The procedure does not require any

SMS message for confirmation from the GSM-BUS communicator.

• Send an SMS message in the form of

<user code>.NUM<n>.0 (zero)

where <n> is the memory location (from 1 to 8)

Example. If the set user code is the default 1234 and you want to delete the number in position 1, send the
following SMS:

1234.NUM1.0

9.4 Redirect phone number configuration

It is possible to configure the GSM-BUS Communicator so as to redirect any non-system SMS messages it
receives (for example, information sent by the phone carrier) to a specified phone number.

• Send an SMS message in the form of:

<user code>.RED.NUM<n>

where <n> is the memory location storing the phone number for redirecting (from 1 to 8). The GSM-BUS
Communicator will send an SMS reply message with the following format:

GSM-BUS 1/1
SMS Redirect to number of index

Example. If the set user code is the default 1234 and you want to redirect all the non-system SMS messages
coming to the GSM-BUS Communicator to the phone number of position 1, send the following SMS:

1234.RED.NUM1

The response SMS message sent by the GSM Communicator will be:

GSM-BUS 1/1
SMS Redirect to number of index

To turn off this function, send the following SMS:

<user code>.RED.NUM.0 (zero)

16

General configuration

The response SMS message sent by the GSM-BUS Communicator will be:

GSM-BUS 1/1
SMS Redirect OFF

To read the settings, send an SMS message in the form of:

<user code>.?RED

If the function is on and associated with the phone number saved in position n, the GSM-BUS Communicator
will send the following SMS confirmation message: :

GSM-BUS 1/1
SMS Redirect to number of index <n>

Otherwise, the GSM-BUS Communicator will send the following SMS:

GSM-BUS 1/1
SMS Redirect OFF

9.5 Configuring voice alarm messages

The GSM-BUS Communicator is able to make voice alarm calls, playing back voice messages, that the user
can customize.
Voice messages can be customized by using a personal computer equipped with the software application
called EasyTool which is described in the relevant instructions manual.
The alarm conditions that generate sending voice calls, which will be described below, are the following:

• Intrusion alarm

• Tamper alarm: the communicator, besides the conditions of “Tamper Alarm” generated by the intrusion

detection alarm system, is able to generate a “Tamper Alarm” event independently when, after detecting a
SAI VIMAR system, it no longer detects it for over a minute.

• Technical Alarm: it is possible to send 8 separate technical alarms, managing the technical alarm events

generated by contact interfaces belonging to VIMAR home automation or intrusion detection alarm sys­tems.

Note: These alarm events are generated by the home automation or intrusion detection alarm systems and are
described in the relevant instruction manuals.

The voice alarm messages are composed, as described below, by linking two or three voice messages
(depending on the type of voice alarm message): the first one is predefined and the others are optional and can
be modified by the user. In brief, a voice message is composed of the following part:

General configuration

Specifically, for the types of alarm managed:

1. Intrusion alarm.

The Intrusion voice alarm message is formed in this way

2. Tamper alarm.

The Tamper voice alarm message is formed in this way

“Tamper Alarm”

+

Msg. Address (option)

3. Technical alarm.

The Technical voice alarm messages are formed in this way

Msg. Address (option)

The voice alarm messages (VOC) managed by the GSM-BUS communicator are divided into two groups, which
are associated with the same number of groups of call phone numbers, composed of at most 8 phone numbers
of a maximum length of 30 digits.

This division enables sending the two “classes” of alarm messages to two groups of users, separating “safety”
alarm messages (intrusion and tamper alarms) from “technical” ones.

Group name Description Alarms belonging to the group

“VOCAI” GROUP

Group of voice alarms in the category of
INTRUSION ALARMS

Intrusion alarm
Tamper alarm

“VOCAT” GROUP

Group of voice alarms in the category of
TECHNICAL ALARMS

Technical alarm 1
...
Technical alarm 8

Sending an alarm message (together with all those in the same group) is activated by associating the group with
at least one phone number on the list of phone numbers.
Sending alarm messages can therefore be enabled or disabled according to the group to which they belong.

For each group of alarm messages there are the following functions available, via SMS or PC.
Note: For settings via the specific software on a PC, please refer to the relevant instructions manual.
