COMMAND USING
SMS TEXT
Users who wish to activate a command via SMS text must enter the command details as
follows:
<xxxxxx> <SMS Text>
where:
• <xxxxxx> stands for the PIN of a control panel user
• it is necessary to insert a space (“ ”) after the PIN
• <SMS Text> which is the command identifier, as previously described
Note
Avoid inserting spaces (“ ”) inside the <SMS text>.
EXAMPLE
If the control panel must activate “Scenario 3”, switch On the perimeter lights and confirm the
operation via SMS text. Proceed as follows:
1. “SMS Text” - choose the desired description, for example “Night mode”
2. “Shortcut” - select the “Arm/Disarm” shortcut
3. “Shortcut option”: “Scenario 3”
4. “Shortcut 2” - select the “Activate output” shortcut
5. “Shortcut option 2” - output associated with the perimeter lights
6. “Confirm” - SMS
When a user keys in the following SMS text on a mobile (cellular) phone:
123456 NightMode
where “123456” stands for the User's PIN and this message is sent to the number of the SIM
card of the Nexus, the control panel will carry out the requested operations and will send an
SMS message of confirmation to the mobile phone of the caller who dispatched the command.
NightMode: command done!

COMMANDS
By default, commands are predefined and can be modified by the installer:
•“CONNECT” for a request for remote assistance via SMS text (future use).
•“CREDIT” - for balance enquiries relating to the SIM card of the Nexus, the user will
receive an SMS text indicating the remaining credit.
•“STATUS” - for status enquiries relating to the Nexus, the user will receive an SMS text
indicating the:
•• device name and firmware revision
•• GSM network provider
•• GSM signal reception level
•• device tamper status
•• BUS status
•• Balance (remaining credit)
•• scenario active (if present)
•“EXC” (or “ESC”), to inhibit the control panel zones
•“INC”, to activate the control panel zones
For the last two commands, the message text must be:
<xxxxxx> EXC <zone description>
where:
- <xxxxxx> is the PIN of a control-panel user coded, followed by a blank space (“ ”)
- “EXC” (or “ESC” or “INC”) is the command to be implemented on the zone, followed by a
space (“”)
- <zone description> is the name zone to be inhibited or activated
Confirm
Identifies the type of command feedback:
• SMS - feedback will be provided by an SMS text to the phone number of the
caller (command dispatcher).
• Ring - feedback will be provided on the phone of the caller (command
dispatcher). Positive outcome will be indicated by a “ring”; negative
outcome by “silence”.
Confirmation via SMS text or feedback ring will occur only when the phone
number that sent the command is not hidden.
• Buzzer - feedback is provided by an audible signal on the Nexus buzzer.
Positive outcome is indicated by three short audible signals; negative
outcome is indicated by five long audible signals.
