4.2 Configuring the Device via SMS

1) Ensure your device is active on your cellular account.

2) Awaken device from sleep XT-4850C via the “wake-up” button.

3) If the device needs more power, then supply 12V DC via the red wire of the cable harness.

4) Ensure device cellular LED is blinking based on LED definition in this document.

5) Using your mobile phone or SMS gateway send +XT:1008 command to the device MDN

6) Command: “+XT:1008,<SM>”- Sets SMS Number

7) Response (via SMS): $$<UID>,<1008>,<SM>##

8) Once you have set SMS to reply to your mobile or gateway, you can now send other

commands to device via SMS per device protocol documentation.

a. Command +XT:1010 configures network settings
b. Command +XT:3040 and +XT:3042 configure alert and threshold settings

9) +XT:7008 save device configuration to permanent memory
