Paging from the command module
The detector command module has the ability to send text messages to
alphanumeric pagers or SMS messages to some mobile phones.
In order to send messages to a pager or similar device, a modem must be
plugged into the RS-232TX and RS-232RX terminals of the command module
using a suitable cable.
The pager or SMS-capable phone call centers must support the TAP protocol.
Contact your pager provider to check whether they provide access with the TAP
protocol.
Configuring the software
No manual configuration of the modem is required, as the command module
configures the modem automatically on dialing.
The command module has three entries used to send messages. The functions
are located in Setup menu>Pager.
They are described below:
• Call Centre: The phone number the modem dials up to send a message.
• Password: An optional password used to access the system.
• Pager: The number of the actual pager. This number will be detailed in the
pager or SMS phone documentation.
