5. CONFIGURATION METHODS

!!! In this installation manual the underscore character ”_” represents one space character. Every underscore character must be replaced by a single space character. There must be no spaces or other unnecessary characters at the beginning and at the end of the SMS text message.

SMS

In order to configure and control the system by SMS text message, send the text command to the ESIM264 system phone number from one of the preset user phone numbers. The structure of SMS text message consists of 4-digit SMS password

(the default SMS password is 0000 – four zeros), the parameter and value. For some parameters the value does not apply e. g.

STATUS. The variables are indicated in lower-case letters, while a valid parameter value range is indicated in brackets.

EKB2

The system configuration and control by EKB2 keypad is carried out by navigating throughout the menu section list displayed on LCD screen. To navigate in the menu path, touch ↓, ↑ keys to select the desired menu section and touch OK key to open the selected section. To enter a required value, use 0... 9 keys and touch OK key for confirmation or cancel/go one menu section back by touching ← key. The value can be typed in directly by touching 0... 9 keys while highlighting the desired menu section. EKB2 menu type is “circle”, therefore when the last section in the menu list is selected, you will be brought back to the beginning of the list after touching the ↓ key. In this installation manual, the menu path is based on the EKB2 menu tree by starting at home screen view (see 31.1.1.6. EKB2 Menu Tree ). The variables are provided in lower-case letters, while a valid parameter value range is provided in brackets.

NOTE: Menu section CONFIGURATION is secured with administrator password. The default administrator password is 1470.

NOTE: The system can be configured using only one keypad at a time. Other connected keypads will be inactive while the menu section

CONFIGURATION is opened. The inactive EKB2 keypads will display icon and CONFIGURATION MODE message.

NOTE: The keypad will automatically exit the menu section CONFIGURATION and return to home screen view if 1 minute after the last key-touch expires.

EKB3

The system configuration and control by EKB3 keypad is carried out by activating the Configuration mode using the administrator password (by default – administrator password is 1470) and entering a valid configuration command using the number keys [0]... [9], [#] key for confirmation and [*] key to cancel the characters that are being entered. Alternatively, the user can wait for 10 seconds until the keypad buzzer will provide a long beep indicating that the entered characters have been cancelled. When typing in the characters, the indication of each pressed key is provided by short beep of keypad buzzer and red indicators when the number keys [0]... [9] are being pressed. Some commands require [BYPS], [CODE] and [STAY] keys as well. The structure of a standard configuration command is a combination of digits. The commands, which do not require the

Configuration mode being activated, are noted. The variables are provided in lower-case letters, while a valid parameter value range is provided in brackets.

NOTE: If you were not willing to activate Configuration mode, but accidentally typed in the * as the first character, please press [*] key again or wait for 10 seconds until the keypad buzzer will provide a long beep indicating that the typed in characters have been cancelled.

ELDES Configuration Tool is freeware and can be downloaded from at: www.eldes.lt

Remote System Configuration via GPRS Connection

ATTENTION: The system will NOT send any data to monitoring station while configuring the system remotely via GPRS network. However, during the configuration session, the data messages are queued up and transmitted to the monitoring station after the configuration session is over.

ATTENTION: When the Configuration mode is activated by EKB3 keypad or menu section CONFIGURATION is opened by EKB2 keypad, remote system configuration will be disabled.

NOTE: The keypads will be inactive when the system is being configured remotely.

Before configuring ESIM264 remotely via GPRS connection, make sure that:

• SIM card is inserted into SIM CARD1 slot of ESIM264 device (see 2.2. Main Unit, LED & Connector Functionality).

• Mobile internet service (GPRS) is enabled on the SIM card.

• Power supply is connected to ESIM264.

• Default SMS password is changed to a new 4-digit password (see 6. PASSWORDS).

• At least User 1 phone number is set up (see 8. USER PHONE NUMBERS).

• APN, user name and password are set up (see 30.2.1. GPRS Network).
