INSYS GSM 4.3 I4 Functional Overview
13
3Functional Overview
The INSYS GSM 4.3 I4 offers the following functions:
Data buffer for serial data transmission
The INSYS GSM 4.3 I4 has a fast send and receive buffer (cache) to adjust
the modem to the operating speed of the application.
Hardware and software data flow control
The INSYS GSM 4.3 I4 can transmit to the application via the control lines
of the serial interface to interrupt the dataflow, if the buffers of the INSYS
GSM 4.3 I4 exceed a certain level. An application can also prompt the IN-
SYS GSM 4.3 I4 via a control line to interrupt the data flow. As an alterna-
tive, the INSYS GSM 4.3 I4 can control the data flow via XOFF/XON charac-
ters in the data stream.
Selective call answer
The INSYS GSM 4.3 I4 can be set to accept only calls from phone numbers
that were previously stored.
Configuration via SMS
Numerous functions of the INSYS GSM 4.3 I4 may be configured via SMS.
This allows a configuration of the INSYS GSM 4.3 I4 without PC and mo-
dem connection.
Comfortable Configuration of the SMS recipients
For each alarm message, which is sent by the INSYS GSM 4.3 I4, up to 10
recipient numbers may be assigned using a matrix. This allows for the
creation of an alarm plan and the targeted notification of service person-
nel
Reading out SCN from the SIM card
The SMS Service Center Nummer (SCN) can easily be read out from the SIM
card and stored.
Voice functionality
The voice functionality allows to establish voice connections with other
phones using a connected phone receiver. This provides an easy communi-
cation with the service personnel at the site.
Automatic call acceptance for voice connections
The INSYS GSM 4.3 I4 enables to accept voice calls automatically. This al-
lows for an automatic voice connection establishment, e.g. for emergency
call or monitoring purposes.
Remote firmware update
The firmware of the INSYS GSM 4.3 I4 may be updated remotely. The set-
tings, which are important fort he operation, like the SIM PIN are main-
tained with this.

Functional Overview INSYS GSM 4.3 I4

Remote configuration
The INSYS GSM 4.3 I4 can be configured remotely with the help of a com-
mon modem and a terminal program.
Sending messages via data connection, SMS or Fax
The INSYS GSM 4.3 I4 can send up to 10 previously entered messages to
any defined recipient via an AT command. The dispatch can also be trig-
gered by switching the alarm inputs. Several transmission paths are possi-
ble, such as Fax and SMS.
Pulse input to send up to 10 SMS messages
The SMS to a previously defined recipient can be triggered via the number
of pulses at an alarm input.
Input states retrievable via DTMF and SMS
The state of the inputs may be retrieved remotely with the help of DTMF
digits sent from a common phone or via an SMS with an AT command. The
INSYS GSM 4.3 I4 answers and replies with the status of the inputs via sig-
nal tones or SMS.
Switching inputs for SMS dispatch and to establish an alarm data connec-
tion
The INSYS GSM 4.3 I4 has four digital switch inputs, which are used to es-
tablish connections or to send messages via SMS and fax.
Buffering the alarm inputs
Up to 5 alarm messages are buffered at the inputs and processed consecu-
tively.
Access control
The INSYS GSM 4.3 I4 can be protected from unauthorized access via a
phone connection. An incoming connection must first be enabled with a
password. Using security callback, the INSYS GSM 4.3 I4 calls a previously
defined phone number back, when a call comes in.
Idle connection control with Data Transmit Control
Data Transmit Control enables the INSYS GSM 4.3 I4 to terminate the con-
nection, if no data is transmitted during a defined state. This will prevent
unnecessary costs.
Integrated real-time clock
The integrated real-time clock can be used to send alive messages time-
controlled. Furthermore, the integrated real-time clock allows for a regular
logout and login out of or into the GSM network.
Event history
All occurred events are logged in a history with a maximum capacity of
200 entries.
