1. INTRODUCTION
Communicator PX200NBis purposed for data transmitting from electronic security
systems of facilities and other technical devices with the use of GSM mobile phone
network in PX200NB-50 model and UMTS/LTE in PX200NB-A10 model.
Data transmission follows via GPRS (PX200NB-50) and GPRS/HSPA+/LTE (PX200NB-
A10) or GPRS/LTE (model PX200NB-Q10 and Q30) or SMS.
Due to many settings a communicator may be applied with many systems of various
requirements. The device is basically purposed for data transmission from security
systems installed in detached houses and in small business facilities.
Additionally PX200NB communicator has got input for connection of an alarm control
panel’s phone communicator. This provides for a cheap system of data transmission.
Communication with a monitoring station follows by GPRS/SMS mode. This device
provides an opportunity to send text messages to private mobile phones.
An advanced encoding methods like a 256 bits encoding key and AES (Advanced
Encryption Standard) provides for security of data transmission. As a result reception
of this transmission is possible with OSM.Server monitoring receiver system.
Furthermore there is possibility to transmit not coded messages that are to be
comprehensible by reception solutions and also by GPRS Server software.
Programming of receiver is possible:
oLocally on computer and with recommended EBS Config (formerly “GPRS
Transmitters Configurator”) software
oRemotely: - GPRS and /LTE or SMS
- via SMS commands
- via transmission on CSD channel

4. QUICK START PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Do not insert SIM card before the first programming of communicator as it
may block the card if PIN code is required for the card.
This chapter is purposed for users that possess experience regarding GPRS
data transmission systems and who work with OSM.Server server. Other
users shall skip this chapter and go to chapter 5 of this Manual.
As many users possess protected facilities spread at vast locations, local programming
of communicator is not always available (with computer keyboard and programming
cable).
Two phases comprise programming in this option:
a) sending to communicator of main parameters (with SMS) that enable
connection to communication server (OSM.Server system).
b) full configuration of device with remote programming (EBS Config and
OSM.Server).
Quick start procedure:
a) insert into device SIM card with PIN code 1111 or without PIN code.
b) connect power supply for module,
c) send to SIM card number with SMS parameters related to connection of device
to communication server (OSM.Server)
d) waiting for moment, when device indicates connection to server
Note: Connection to server is possible if the device was registered into it.
Registration procedure has been described in OSM.Server Operation Manual.
e) complete, remote programming with EBS Config.
SMS text message shall provide the following information:
<communicator’s service code>█SERVER=<server address>█PORT=<server port>█
APN=<access point name>█UN=<user ID number>█
PW=<user password>
Where:
█: space (every parameter shall be separated with space –blank character)
<communicator’s service code>: factory settings –1111.
<server address>: address of communication server purposed for collection of
communicator signals e.g. 89.123.115.8. In case address is provided as domain e.g.
block.autostrada.com, SMS message shall include DNS1 parameter (address of main
DNS server)
<server port>: Number of port in server that receives messages from a device
<access point name>: defines access point name to GSM network.
If private network is used, SMS message shall provide the following parameters:
UN=<user ID number> and PW=<user password>.
Exemplary SMS is as follows (if we use public network and provide server address as
IP):

5. OPERATION
A device maintains communication via cellular network. If any problem follows a
device automatically switch to SMS mode (if this mode has been programmed before-
See chapter 7. Programmable parameters). As a result the communicator may be
used only at the territory covered with mobile phone operator network.
Input violation or sabotage, and change the input state results immediate signal
transmitting of this event by the device.
To avoid an excessive cost of use related in particular to false alarms a device
possesses a programmable analysis of inputs.
All inputs respond only to states change which means that transmitting will follow
only if an active state is on input and maintains during programmed minimum time.
Maintenance of active state longer than a minimum time will result in single indicating.
Another input activation (another transmitting) is possible only after input reached
based state.
Number of messages sent in SMS mode is limited (limit includes also text massages
or answers to orders sent by user).This function provides for cost reduction by limiting
messages e.g. in case of damage of sensor connected to any input. After passage of
programmed time new messages will be sent but only in a number determined by the
user.
Text message on events sent to private phone numbers may be edited.
All programmable parameters are saved in memory and in case of voltage drop that
are not lost. Supply of power starts the communicator with saved settings.
