8 USER REMOTE CONTROL
8.1 HOW TO SKIP A TELEPHONE ANSWERING MACHINE
The answering machine or fax must be set to pick up after at least two rings in order to be able to call the control panel
for remote management on the PSTN line. The Answer Machine function of the control panel must be set to pick up after
more rings that the answering machine.
The control panel can then be called for remote control as follows:
• Call the control panel and hang up after the first ring. The control panel will detect the incoming call without picking up
because the number of rings is lower than the set number.
• Call the control panel back within 30 seconds.
• The control panel will immediately engage the line after the first ring without counting the number of programmed
rings. In this manner, the telephone answering machine or fax will receive only one ring and will engage the line
instead of the control panel.
This procedure is implemented automatically also by Remote Control Centres with FastPro software and enabled
function.
8.2 REMOTE CONTROL WITH SMS TEXT MESSAGES
Outputs programmed as “commandable” can be activated remotely by sending an SMS text message. The GSM answer
machine and the "Incoming SMS" GSM parameter must be enabled to use this function. Furthermore, the text message
must come from a known telephone number, i.e. one of the 12 telephone numbers stored on the control panel.
IMPORTANT! This number does not need to be associated to an event.
The SMS text message to be sent to the telephone number of the SIM Card of the control panel must have the following
syntax:
2nns.
where:
• nn is the logical number from 01 to 10 of the commandable output or commandable pulse to be switched;
• s is a digit which represents the status that the output must assume: 1 (arm) or 0 (disarm). In case of pulsed
commandable output only 1 (arm) can be used;
•
. (full stop) is the end of the message.
Several controls can be queued in the same text message and separated by a comma. The SMS text message must end
with a full stop (“.”).
Any spaces will be ignored, but characters other than digits, spaces, commas and full stops will be considered errors.
The SMS text message will be rejected.
