4.1 Communication Recommendations
Rotem strongly recommends:
• enabling both the telephony and SMS functions to transmit alarms (via voice and SMS)
• enabling SMS alarm acknowledgment
• employing a secondary alarm system to act as a backup to Communicator's primary
monitoring and alarm system
WARNING! BECAUSE OF LIMITATIONS BUILT INTO SMS DELIVERY SYSTEMS, THERE MAY
BE DELAYS IN THE ACTUAL SMS DELIVERY TIME. BY DEFAULT A REMINDER
SMS IS TRANSMITTED AFTER TWO MINUTES. IF THE MESSAGE DELIVERY IS
DELAYED FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING DELAYS CAUSED BY THE
INFRASTRUCTURE, A REMINDER SMS IS SENT. THEREFORE INCREASING THE
DELAY TIME FOR A REMINDER PLACES YOUR LIVESTOCK AT RISK.
