3.10.2 Communication via Wireless Modem
There are two different ways of communication for a wireless (GSM) modem:
• Using data call / modem connection.
This requires the SIM-card in the modem to be configured
with data service.
• Using SMS to configure the repeater with simple text messages. SMS functionality is not
implemented in this SW release.
The Element Manager always uses data call communication with the repeater, why all repeaters
being controlled by the AEM must have data service enabled on the SIM card.
Configuring the repeater to send alarms and reports via SMS it is still possible to establish data calls
to the repeater, as long as the SIM card is data service enabled.
