Messages
The SMS module has two capabilities – Reporting to cell phones and control via cell phones.
Reporting – The SMS module sends alarm ‘verification’ reports in human readable messages. Events being reported can be customised by each
phone number.
Control – SMS messages can be sent to execute different functions on the alarm.
Each message sent to the unit must adhere to a specific format:
[code]space[command] space[extended command] space[data]
Code – Valid alarm user code stored in the alarm panel
Command – A string that identifies the function that you are wanting to access in the alarm panel.
Extended Command – Any supplementary information the function requires. (Not always required will depend on the function you are accessing)
Data - Any extra information the extended command requires.
NOTE: Only a single command can be sent per SMS, but multiple data values may be sent separated by a comma.
Messages are limited to 160 characters.
Messages will be rejected:
 If any part of the message is invalid
 When the user code sent is unknown by the alarm panel
 If any part of the command fails to execute
 If the message is sent from an unknown phone number
 If the command is sent by a phone number that does not have the required permission
NOTE: All commands sent will be verified with a message confirming that it was successful or unsuccessful with an explanation
