Introduction
The RA711 GSM (3G/4G) Telephone has been designed to provide a means of installing a
weather and vandal resistant telephone in an area that is remote and lacks the provision of
infrastructure. The RA711 GSM (3G/4G) Telephone is a stand alone communication terminal
that utilises the GSM mobile telephone Network to make and receive voice calls. The RA711
GSM utilises a QUAD band GSM modem that can connect to any standard GSM
Network (3G or 4G). The RA711 GSM telephone is supplied SIM free allowing the user/
customer to select any mobile network operator as their preferred carrier.
This user guide is designed to assist with the operation of the RA711 GSM (3G/4G),
provide simple installation instructions and explain the various programming and reporting
parameters available. If you require more detailed technical information please contact your
supplier or DAC Limited direct.

Electrical Connection - VERY IMPORTANT
When connecting power to the telephone it is important that a suitably rated power supply is
used and the polarity of connection is carefully selected. Suitable power supplies are 12VDC
battery [can be charged via solar panel] or a constant 12VDC mains Power Pack with a power
rating of 2 Amps or 25 watt. Power consumption will be dependant on usage, please consult
with your supplier for advice concerning suitable power options for your particular application.
The HOOK LED indicator should be OFF when the telephone is ON HOOK and should be ON
when the telephone is OFF HOOK. During incoming ringing the LED will flash slowly and if a
FAST FLASH is observed this indicates that the telephone is NOT registered on the network.
When configured the INPUT / OUTPUT Terminals monitor a CHANGE OF STATE ONLY and
are volt free contacts.

Operation
The telephone is energised upon connection to an external power supply [12v DC Sealed Lead
Acid Battery or Mains Power Pack]. A valid GSM SIM Card [not supplied] must be installed for
correct operation.
To Make a call:
The telephone is taken ‘OFF HOOK’ by pressing the call button, tone mimic is presented to the
user via the telephone speaker. The telephone then automatically dials the number stored in the
telephone memory (see section Configure Voice Call destination command [CVC]). A voice call
is then conducted and telephone will automatically go back ‘ON HOOK’ when the call is ended.
To Answer a call:
Incoming calls generate a ringing condition [audible speaker ringer] and the calls can be
answered by pressing the call button.
SMS Configuration and status reporting
The telephone's operational parameters can be configured and telephone health status
requested remotely by using SMS [Short Message Service] text messages containing correctly
formatted commands.
Incoming command texts allow various parameters to be configured and outgoing log texts can
provide log reports regarding the telephone status. The messages are sent and received via
standard GSM mobile devices [mobile telephones] and are displayed as standard text messages.
Typical command parameters would include, but is not limited to:
Telephone Location - this can be up to 30 characters long identifying the telephone location
e.g. DAC Limited BB7 9ED.
Reporting Number - this configures the desired number(s) [up to 3] where the telephone reports
its’ health status.
Handset Volume - the volume in the handset can be remotely configured via SMS.
Ringing Volume - ringing volume can be adjusted remotely via SMS.
Typical report parameters would include, but are not limited to:
Battery voltage - if battery voltage falls below a pre-determined level the telephone will report
automatically.
Handset Integrity - If the handset integrity loop is broken the telephone can report via SMS.

Commands
USERTEXT message
The telephone compiles and sends an SMS text message [USERTEXT] to a command origina-
tor, to confirm changes of configuration after an incoming command has been processed, or to
a maximum of three (3) SMS destinations as asynchronous responses to changes in telephone
status. This essentially means that when the USER [command originator] changes a program-
mable parameter within the telephone via SMS, the telephone will respond to the USER via SMS
confirming the changes. In addition to this the telephone will also respond to up to three (3) other
numbers notifying that a change has been made. A human readable format is used as follows:
Location: {location of telephone} this can be configured via SMS
Type: <Status_text> This indicates parameter that has been changed or modified.
Battery: [Battery_voltage] current battery voltage e.g. 11.95V accurate to approx. 37mV
Signal: [GSM Signal_level] Range is 0-31 (0 unregistered, 31 max strength)
Last Call: [Duration of last call if over 10 seconds]
Ver: <Firmware _Version> Factory preset.
Configure or change USERTEXT recipients [CTX]
In order to configure the USERTEXT recipients [person (s) who receives notification of parame-
ter change or system error] the telephone will require data input via SMS using the CTX
command. Up to 3 numbers can be stored [3 recipients] and the numbers are input as follows:
CTX1234....+441234567890.+442345678901.+449876543210
The originator [the person who sent the SMS command] and the USER LIST will receive the
following message indicating that a parameter has been modified:
Location: {location of telephone} this can be configured via SMS
Type: New SMS No’s set
Battery: [Battery_voltage] current battery voltage e.g. 11.95V accurate to approx. 37mV
Signal: [GSM Signal_level] Range is 0-31 (0 unregistered, 31 max strength)
Last Call: [Duration of last call if over 10 seconds]
Ver: <Firmware _Version> Factory preset.
It is important that these ‘full stops’ are added (and correct PIN if changed)

Configure Voice call destinations command [CVC]
The product can be configured to dial a number stored in the telephone's memory. When the
user presses the call button the telephone produces dial tone mimic and confidence
tones whilst it connects to the pre-programmed internal memory number.
Autodial number can be configured by the USER and changed as required. To re-
program the number the following command is used:
CVC1234.+44123456789
To store additional number (when telephone equipped with more than one "press to call"
button) use:
CVC1234.+44123456789.+441234567890.+441234567890
It is important that the prefix [country code] ‘+44’ is used. Also ensure correct PIN is
entered CVC1234.(1st autodial number).(2nd autodial number).(3rd autodial number)
The originator [the person who sent the SMS command] and the USER LIST will receive the
following message indicating that a parameter has been modified:
