The WMPro will usually attempt to send the rst text message straight away. If this attempt fails for
some reason, the WMPro initially waits ve minutes before trying again. If it still does not work, the
system waits for 10 minutes this time, followed by 15 minutes between attempts.
The phone bill can quickly mount up if you set the alarm thresholds too low or if the system trig-
gers lots of alarms for some other reason. That is why there is a function to limit costs. In the "SMS
alarm limit 24 hours" eld, enter the maximum number of text messages the WMPro can send over a
24-hour period. A text message is sent indicating that the limit has been reached, but no further text
messages are sent until the alarm is acknowledged.
You should set this limit high enough not to block alarms that you would expect to occur in normal
operation. Remember, too, that adding recipients multiplies the number of text messages sent. The
web interface shows how many text messages have been sent in the current 24-hour period, and
when the period started.
To help you keep track of costs, there is also a counter for the total number of text messages. You
can reset the counter manually. As with email, there is a test function you can use to send a test
message.
There is a button to delete all emails or text messages in the queue. You should do this before you
activate the function. Otherwise a large backlog of messages will be sent.

Before a WMPro can log into an ISP you will need to specify the username and password. To do this,
go to Settings/Communication/Login.
