6.3.2 Sending SMS Commands to your System
In order to successfully send commands to your system from your cellphone, you must send SMS mes-
sages in the proper format. If configured, commands require the inclusion of a User Access Code in your
message. The access code will be verified by the system before executing any commands.
Additional information about sending SMS commands:
l Text messages are not case sensitive and extra spaces are ignored.
l In multi-partition systems and if the User has rights to manage the desired partitions, commands
can be sent to specific partitions by including the partition number. For more information on par-
titions see: "Managing Partitions".
l If the panel is configured to require an Access Code and the code is not sent or is invalid, the
panel will send a notification to the user advising the command was unsuccessful.
The following table lists all available SMS commands with examples of how to enter the Partition number
and access codes. The format for entering commands is as follows:
Command Partition number Access Code
Stay Arm 001 1234
NOTE: Verify with your installer that the Partition number and access code are required in your SMS mes-
sage. If one or both are not required, do not enter them in your SMS message.
NOTE: Responses to Status and Alarm Memory requests may require more than 1 SMS message,
depending on status of the system. There is a 10 second delay between transmission of SMS messages.
