GSM-X offers extensive communication functionality and support for
multipath communication. The device comes with a cellular phone that
supports data transmission using GPRS technology. The module can be used to
implement reporting in alarm systems. For this purpose, it should be connected
to the dialer or suitably configured outputs of the control panel.
An important feature the communicator offers is the expansion capability
by adding the GSM-X-ETH Ethernet
module, so that reporting can be implemented through two independent channels
(Ethernet and GPRS). Another option to add the GSM-X-PSTN module,
in which case the analog PSTN telephone line will be used as an alternative
transmission path. Thanks to the constant monitoring of the state of connections
with the monitoring station and the substitutability of transmission paths, the
stringent requirements of EN 50136 for DP4 category are complied with,
regarding the so-called Dual Path Reporting.
GSM-X offers sending notifications to 8 telephone numbers in several
ways: by using voice, SMS or PUSH messages, or via the CLIP service.
The module offers extensive compatibility with the INTEGRA and INTEGRA Plus control
panels. When connected to the control panel RS-232 interface, it will perform
reporting and messaging (in the case of INTEGRA Plus, the SMS content is based
directly on the event log). It also enables remote programming of these control
panels from a computer with the DLOADX program and
administration of alarm systems using the GUARDX program.
The device can fully replace the analog telephone line, working as
a backup communication path. When the line is not available, the module
will divert voice calls to the cellular network. In the case of PBX systems, it
can be used as an additional external line.
The device has 4 programmable outputs that can be remotely controlled
using SMS, CLIP, DTMF, GX CONTROL mobile
application, GX Soft configuration
software or via IoT. That enables GSM-X to be used for remote control of the
alarm system or other connected devices.
For programming and configuration, you should use a computer with
the GX Soft program installed. The computer can connect to the module locally
(USB port) or remotely (data transmission over GPRS / Ethernet*).
Remote update of the device firmware is possible thanks to GSM-X
capability of interacting with the UpServ program.
The built-in GSM telephone has slots for two SIM cards. If any problems
occur with the range of the first card operator's network, the module will
automatically switch to the other one to maintain uninterrupted communication.
