set as a digit or letter ( the digits 0 to 9 correspond to the letters A to J ).
If working with Ademco Contact ID protocol –each of the four symbols must be from 0 to 9
and/or from B to F.

3.2. GPRS Settings
In the GPRS Settings, the parameters of the mobile operator must be entered.
In SIM PIN Code the PIN code must be entered. If the sim card doesn't use PIN code, this
field has no role (empty or not).
APN (Access Point Name), APN Username, APN Password are parameters of the mobile
network. The mobile operator must provide them.
3.3. SMS Settings
Enable Reset by SMS –if enabled the device can be reset remotely with SMS
Report Digital Input ‘Restore’–if enabled the GPRS TauL will send and SMS not only for
alarms, but also for restores after the alarms.
SMS report can be sent to up to 5 phone numbers.
Reporting Type sets, which of the signals to be sent as a SMS report.:
Disable SMS Reporting –Deactivates the SMS reporting function.
From Communicator –SMS report will be sent to each phone number, only when
alarm message is received from the communicator.
From Digital Inputs - SMS report will be sent to each phone number, only when alarm
message is received from digital inputs. To each digital input sms report can be
enabled/disabled separately.
From Communicator and Digital Inputs - SMS report will be sent to each phone
number, when alarm message is received from the communicator or digital inputs. To
each digital input sms report can be enabled/disabled separately.
3.4. Servers Settings
The first group is corresponding to the first monitoring server. You must set the IP address
or Domain Name and the communication UDP port. Also set the test period for sending test
messages to the server. If Use Backup Server option is enabled –a secondary IP
Address/Domain Name could be set. If the server on the primary address is not available –the
device will try to send the data to the backup address. This option is usefull if the server has
two addresses from different ISPs.

3.5. Settings for the digital inputs
Digital inputs can be connected to PGM outputs of security panles or to any different kind
of sensors –panic-buttons, tampers and etc. In the Active State field you can set the working
mode of each input –normal close ( N.O. ) or normal open ( N.C. ) contact, check for AC on
this input ( Hardware AC ) or you can disable the input ( Not Used ). When digital input is
connected to PGM or dry contact, for ‘0’ state is accepted value of the resistance to ground less
than 300Ω and for active ‘1’ –value more than 1,4KΩ ( or open circuit ), the hysteresis is
between 300Ω and 1,4KΩ. If digital inputs are controlled by voltage for ‘0’ state is accepted
value of the voltage to ground less than 0,7V, and for active ‘1’ –value more than 2,6V, the
hysteresis is between 0,7V and 2,6V.
Settings for each input you can set the following parameters:
Type –Choose a message which will correspond to the change of state of this input
Partition (from 0 to 15) and Zone (0 to 255) determines the corresponding parameters for the
messages generated from each digital input. SMS –if the SMS report from digital inputs is
enabled –this option enables/disables the SMS report for each digital input separately.
3.6. Status Panel
In this panel you can find main information about the device, GPRS operator, GPRS signal
strength, last 5 messages received from the communicator and GPRS connection status.
