3.6.3 Configuring GSM-GPRS (IP) - SMS Cellular Connection
The GSM/GPRS module is capable of communicating with the Monitoring station receiver by GPRS, GSM Voice
(analog) or SMS Channels.
Each of the channels can be separately enabled or disabled in order to allow or prohibit the module from using it for
the event reporting. If all channels are enabled, the GSM/GPRS module will always try GPRS first. If fails, it will try
GSM voice. If fails, it will try any other possible method (PSTN Broadband) and only then it will try SMS. Disabling
any of the GSM channels will cause the module to use a different sequence than the one described above.
To configure an option enter the menu, select the option you wish to configure (see
guidance above and in section 3.6.1), then refer to the table below which provides you with detailed
explanations and configuration instructions for each option.
