15 User Guide
You can also view live status of your system and arm/disarm your system. For example, you have just left your
office for the weekend but are not sure you remembered to arm it. Simply check the status of your system from
a laptop and arm it remotely. There is no PC software to install, as the IP100 is web-based. It uses a user-
friendly web-page that puts you in control. Consult your installer or refer to the IP100 User manual for more
information.
Communicating Using Text Messages (PCS100)
You can communicate with your security system using text messages (SMS) by using a system accessory
called the PCS100 GSM Module (sold separately). The GSM module allows you to receive text messages of
system events, such as alarms or troubles, on your cellular phone. It also allows you to send text messages to
arm or disarm your system from anywhere in the world. Consult your installer for more information.
Receiving Text Messages
To receive text messages from your system you need to:
• Program the telephone numbers you wish to receive text notifications.
• Select which event groups (alarm, arm/disarm, trouble and trouble restore) will generate text messages.
