SIM Card Types
SIM cards are split into two types:
• Dynamic IP SIM cards – the ‘everyday’ kind of SIM card
used in mobile phones. GSM units that use this kind of
SIM card can access any data on the internet but cannot
be contacted from the internet. This type of SIM card
should be used for SMS text messaging &
Upload/Download via GSM. A data number will be
required to uses Upload/Download.
• Fixed IP SIM cards – specialist SIM cards that have a
fixed, internet public IP address which means that in
addition to being able to access any data on the internet
they can be contacted from the internet. For Premier Elite
ComGSM this means they can be used for both alarm
reporting and upload/download via IP (GPRS) If a data
number is also available, it is possible to use
upload/download via the data number (GSM) instead of
the IP address.
SIM cards can have two different phone numbers:
• Voice Number: used for voice calls and SMS
• Data Number: used for GSM data calls
(Upload/Download)
Either of these facilities can be enabled/disabled by the operator.
Care should be taken when using Pay as you go SIM
cards, make sure you have the ability to Top Up. Pay as
You Go SIM cards generally DO NOT have data numbers,
please check with your service provider.
SIM cards purchase
Texecom DO NOT supply SIM cards. These will need to be sourced
locally, and care should be taken to source SIM cards in the country
where the unit is to be used. This will help reduce costs and avoid
excessive data charges. When using GSM as the communication
method, Data services will need to be enabled for upload/download,
this may or may not be the same Telephone number.
GPRS SIM card setup
In order to use GPRS, the Premier Elite ComGSM must be
programmed with certain parameters which are dictated by the SIM
card used. This is no different from mobile phones (often called the
‘GPRS Setup’) except that mobile phones are often supplied pre-
configured.
The configuration consists of the following:
• APN (Access Point Name)
• Username
• Password
These parameters are entered into the Premier Elite ComGSM
using a Texecom PC program called ‘APNProgrammer’
(on the
Texecom CD supplied with the panel) with the Premier Elite ComGSM
powered and connected to a PC via a Texecom USBCom.
To power the Premier Elite ComGSM whilst programming connect
the supplied harness to the control panel com port, and the other
end to the Engineers Keypad port on the Premier Elite ComGSM.
The Texecom USBCom should be connected to the com port on
the Premier Elite ComGSM.
Use APNProgrammer to upload the required information to the
Premier Elite ComGSM.
The supplier of the SIM card should provide the information
required.
