The built-in LTE modem option enables the VS4820 to send SMS text messages or receive text messages from
subscribers, to remotely activate pre-programmed events. To simplify the process of setting up the modem, Visiplex
ships the VS4820 (when ordered with SMS modem option), with the SIM card already installed, a mobile account and
number are already set and fully tested, so customers will be able to use the SMS feature when the unit is out of the
box. The customer will receive from Visiplex an account number and access code, enabling taking over the SMS account
and deal with the mobile carrier from that point on.
