5.8.7 Automatic transmission of alarms via GSM modem
The controller provides the possibility to automatically forward alarms and messages in plain text from the
E*LDS system via a modem to various destinations(Menu4-1-7). The following information is transmitted in the
message:
Store name
Message text
Date and time of the receive or send time stamp
Priority
Telephone number of the store
Position number (CAN bus address) and
the name of the E*LDS component
In addition to a PC with the LDSWin PC software, the sending of alarms as SMS to mobile telephones (see
chapter GSM modem) and the sending of FAXes (see chapter FAX Transmission via ISDN Modem) are also
supported.
Up to 14 different PCs can be configured as fault signal receivers in the controller. The requirement for remote
alarm signalling is that the LDSWin PC software is being used on the PCs.
ATTENTION
Risk of the failure of alarm messages via SMS and thus no alarm signalling in the event of
problems! It cannot be ensured that the SMS is delivered securely and promptly to the recipient,
therefore transmission of SMS messages should not be configured as the only alarm path! It is also
possible that a network operator or mobile telephone service provider can change its dial-up number or
its dial-up procedure from time to time, thus generating significant additional costs. Precise
information can be obtained from the respective mobile telephone service provider.
In order to monitor the reliable operation of the automatic transmission of alarms, the message path
must be checked regularly using the check store computer function provided by the LDSWin PC
software.
