5 Auto-dialler: Input Triggered SMS Text Message Sending and Autodialing
The inputs can be used to trigger the sending of customisable SMS text messages to all of
the ‘text numbers’ (see section 1.2 Number Types) and to sequentially dial all of the ‘call
numbers’ (see section 1.2 Number Types).
Call numbers are given priority and are dialled before the sending of SMS text messages
to the Text Numbers. If no call numbers are stored no call dialling will occur and the sys-
tem will begin sending SMS text messages straight away.
Each input can be configured to either send a text message, initiate dialling or both send
a text message and dial the call numbers. Each input can also be disabled by SMS re-
motely.
Each input has it’s own customisable message (see section 4.3) which can be sent when
the associated input is triggered.
Dialling can be triggered by any input. Additionally inputs A&B can initiate dialing in a
logical OR configuration or can be triggered only when both inputs are active in a logical
AND arrangement (see section 4.4). Additionally, dialling can be triggered only when
input A is triggered followed by input B in an A THEN B sequence.
Calls are dialled in the order in which they are added. The numbers are dialled sequen-
tially until a call is answered and rejected (hung-up) or a call is answered and the ∗ key is
pressed or until all of the numbers have been dialled.
If a call is answered the system will automatically hang up the call after 5s. The board will
then call the next number. During the 5s call the recipient can end dialling by holding
the ∗ key on their phone or by hanging up on the call. After dialling is complete, the sys-
tem will proceed to send the customisable text message to the list of text numbers.
The maximum call length in auto-dialler mode is fixed at 5s. The maximum ring time (the
time between dialling and call pick up) can be set using the RTIME command.
The triggering of dialling and SMS messaging can be delayed using the HOLD command.
If the input ceases to be active during the holding period the dialling and texting is can-
celled. This is useful were the input is used to inform the user a door has been
5.1 Enabling and Disabling Inputs
To disable the dialer completely (all inputs) by calling the SIM card telephone number see
section 4.1 (CALL DIALER command). To enable and disable autodialing and message
sending on any input the following command is sent via a SMS text message by any mas-
ter telephone number:
INPUTA Auto enables autodialing on input A
INPUTA Text enables SMS text sending on input A
INPUTA Both enables both autodialing and SMS text sending on input A
INPUTA Disable disables input A
Similarly,
INPUTB Auto enables autodialing on input B
INPUTC Text enables SMS text sending on input C
INPUTD Both enables both autodialing and SMS text sending on input D
