The GPRS-T1 converter is a device dedicated for use in intruder alarm systems for the
purpose of reporting and messaging via the GSM networks. The event codes received in
the telephone format can be converted to the form transmittable with the use of GPRS
technology or to the SMS message format. Using the GPRS technology makes it possible
to send the codes to the STAM-2 monitoring station or SMET-256 converter. The codes in
SMS format can be sent to any monitoring station which supports the SMS reporting
feature. Apart from the event code conversion function, the device offers the capability of
using SMS messages or CLIP service for notification about occurrence of selected events.
In order to execute some functions, the converter makes use of the features offered by
the CLIP service, which enables identification of the calling party and presentation of its
telephone number. Thus, test transmissions can be generated and sent without incurring any
costs whatsoever.

2. DESCRIPTION OF ELECTRONICS BOARD
Fig. 2. View of converter electronics board.
Explanations for Figure 2:
1 - SIM card socket.It is not recommended to insert the SIM card into its socket before
programming the card PIN code in the converter (if the card requires entering the PIN
code). If the event codes are to be sent with the use of GPRS technology, the GPRS
service must be activated for the SIM card installed in the converter.
2 - LEDsindicating the converter status. LED A is blinking when GPRS transmission is
going on. LED B is blinking when SMS message is being sent or the converter is calling

SATEL GPRS-T1 3
(CLIP test transmission). The other LEDs indicate the level of signal received by the
GSM telephone. LEDs A and B blinking simultaneously indicate logging into the GSM
network. In case of an unsuccessful GSM network login, blinking of the other LEDs
provides information on the troubles (see: Fig. 3).
3 - RS-232 port (TTL standard) enabling the converter to be connected to the PC
computer (connection can be made with cables included in the set manufactured by
SATEL and designated DB9FC/RJ-KPL).
4 - antennasocket.
5 - GSM industrial telephone.
Fig. 3. Examples of LED indicated statuses. A (LED A is blinking, the other LEDs are lit
up)– GPRS transmission is going on; signal level: 3. B (LED B is blinking, the other LEDs
are lit up)– SMS message is being sent or converter is calling (CLIP test transmission);
signal level: 4. C (LEDs are blinking)– logging into GSM network. D (LEDs are blinking)
- logging into GSM network has failed; missing SIM card. E (LEDs are blinking)– logging
into GSM network has failed; missing PIN code. F (LEDs are blinking)– logging into GSM
network has failed; invalid PIN code. G (LEDs are blinking)– logging into GSM network has
failed; SIM card has been blocked after three attempts to use an invalid PIN code (PUK code
must be used to unblock the SIM card).
Description of terminals:
+12V - power supply input (12 V DC ±15%).
COM - common ground.
TIP, RING - terminals for connecting the control panel telephone communicator.
Note:Do not connect the telephone exchange or any devices simulating the analog
telephone line to the TIP and RING terminals.
FT - OC type output, indicating a problem with logging into the GSM network.
It activates approx. 2 minutes of the problem occurrence. When active, it is
shorted to common ground and remains in this state until logging into GSM
network. The problem with logging into the GSM network can be caused by:
– unavailability of GSM network (out of range),
– missing or damaged antenna,
– entering an invalid PIN code,
– missing SIM card.
Some additional information can be provided by LEDs on the electronics board
(see: Fig. 3).
3. INSTALLATION
All electrical connections may only be made with disconnected power supply.
It is not recommended to power up the device with disconnected antenna.

4 GPRS-T1 SATEL
The GPRS-T1 converter should be installed indoors, in spaces with normal air humidity.
When selecting the installation place, take into consideration that thick walls, metal partitions,
etc. will reduce the radio signal range. Installation in close vicinity of electrical systems is not
recommended, as it may adversely affect the device performance.
The module power supply source should provide sufficient output current and be equipped
with a battery.
The following installation procedure is recommended:
1. Connect the antenna to the socket on electronics board. Be careful not to damage
the socket.
2. Connect the terminals of control panel telephone communicator with the TIP and RING
converter terminals.
3. Connect the power leads to the +12V and COM terminals.
4. Connect the computer to the converter RS-232 (TTL) port (see: section "Local
programming through RS-232 (TTL) port").
5. Turn on the converter power supply.
6. Using the GPRS-SOFT program, define PIN code for the SIM card (if the card requires
entering the PIN code) to be installed in the converter.
7. Turn off the converter power supply.
8. Insert the SIM card into the socket (see: Fig. 4).
9. Turn on the converter power supply. Logging the telephone into the GSM network may
take a few minutes.
Note:If the SIM card PIN code is inconsistent with that defined in converter settings, the
inconsistency will be indicated by the electronics board LEDs (see: Fig.3 Example F).
The second attempt of using the PIN code will be made after 30 seconds. After
the third attempt to use the invalid PIN code, the SIM card will be blocked. In order to
enter the PUK code and unblock the SIM card, remove it and insert into the mobile
phone.

Note: Before you begin using the module, remove the plastic strap protecting the device
during transport. Be careful when removing the strap, so as not to damage any
components on the electronics board.
4. PROGRAMMING AND CONFIGURING THE CONVERTER
The GPRS-SOFT program is used for programming and configuring the converter.
The program is delivered free of charge with the device. Communication between the
program and the converter can be effected locally or remotely. The converter with factory
default settings can only be programmed locally.
4.1 LOCAL PROGRAMMING THROUGH RS-232 (TTL) PORT
The serial COM port of the computer must be connected with the RS-232 (TTL) port on the
converter electronics board. The cables for making this connection are available as a set
designated DB9FC/RJ-KPL. Indicate in the GPRS-SOFT program the computer COM port to
be used for communication with the converter. To do so, click on the "Configuration" button
(see: Fig. 6 and explanations for the figure) and, in the window that will open, select one of
the available computer COM ports. After activation of the selected COM port, the program
will establish communication with the converter.
4.2 REMOTE PROGRAMMING USING GPRS TECHNOLOGY
During the remote programming of the converter, all functions that require
the use of GSM telephone will be disabled.

6 GPRS-T1 SATEL
Remote programming is possible when the "Remote programming" option is enabled in the
converter and the following items have been programmed:
– PIN code (if the card requires entering the PIN code);
– Access Point Name (APN) for Internet GPRS connection;
– user name for Internet GPRS connection;
– password for Internet GPRS connection;
– DNS server IP address which is to be used by the converter (the DNS server address
requires no programming, if the computer address is entered in numerical format
- 4 decimal numbers separated by dots);
– initialization code for computer connection.
Note:APN, user name, password and DNS server address can be obtained from the GSM
network operator.
The computer on which the GPRS-SOFT program will be running must have its IP address
visible in the Internet (so-called public IP address). Otherwise, the network server port must
be redirected to that computer, so as to make connection with the computer possible.
In order to establish communication between the converter and the computer, do the
following:
1. Start the GPRS-SOFT program.
2. Click on the "Configuration" button (see: Fig. 6 and explanations for the figure) and, in the
window that will open, enter the number of TCP port selected for communication with
the converter. The number will have to be included in the body of SMS message which
will be sent to the converter GSM telephone number to initialize communication.
3. Click on the button (see Fig. 6). In the menu that will open, select "TCP/IP" to activate
the server.
4. Send SMS message to the converter GSM telephone number. The SMS message should
have the following form: xxxx=aaaa:p= ("xxxx" is the converter defined code to initialize
communication with GPRS-SOFT program – "Initiating SMS"; "aaaa" is the address of
the computer with which the converter is to establish communication, shown numerically
or as a name; "p" stands for the number of network port through which communication
with the GPRS-SOFT program is to be effected). The converter will connect to
the computer whose address was given in the SMS message.

4.3.2 "GSM TELEPHONE,MONITORING STATIONS"TAB
Programming
GPRS-T1 identifier – a sequence of 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters to identify the converter.
Communication between the program and the converter is only possible when
the identifier entered in this field is consistent with that stored in the converter. No identifier
is preprogrammed in the converter with factory default settings. Communication with such
a module can be established without entering any identifier in the program, but as soon as
the connection is established, the program will automatically generate a random identifier.
It can be saved into the converter or enter another one and save it.

8 GPRS-T1 SATEL
Remote programming – enable this option if remote programming of the module with the
use of GPRS technology is to be available.
Initiating number only from list of telephone numbers for messaging – if this option is
enabled, the SMS message initiating the remote programming must be sent from
a telephone whose number is stored in the converter memory in the list of telephone
numbers for messaging.
Initiating SMS – a code which must be included in the SMS message sent to the converter
GSM telephone number, so that the converter can make an attempt to connect to the
computer whose IP address and communication port are indicated in the SMS message.
Fig. 7. "GSM telephone, Monitoring stations" tab.
GSM telephone
PIN – SIM card PIN code (if the card requires entering the PIN code).
Note:Entering invalid PIN code may result in blocking the SIM card.
SMS center number – telephone number of the Short Message Service Center, which
delivers SMS messages. Entering the number is necessary if the converter is to send SMS
messages. The number stored in the converter must be suitable for the network in which
the GSM telephone is working (depending on the SIM card installed in the converter).
GPRS APN – Access Point Name for Internet GPRS connection.
User – user name for Internet GPRS connection.
Password – password for Internet GPRS connection.
Note:APN, user name and password must be defined, if GPRS data transmission (event
codes, programming) is to be available.

SATEL GPRS-T1 9
DNS server – DNS server IP address which is to be used by the converter. The DNS server
address is necessary when GPRS technology is used for sending data, if the address of
the device to which the converter is to connect (monitoring station, computer with
GPRS-SOFT program) has been entered as a name. If all addresses are given in the IP
address form (4 decimal numbers separated by dots), programming the DNS server
address is not required.
Module status
USSD codes forwarding message – content of the control command that must precede
the USSD code in SMS message being sent to the module. The USSD codes make
it possible e.g. to check the account status of SIM card installed in the module. The form of
SMS message must be: xxxx=yyyy=, where "xxxx" is the control command, and "yyyy"
- the USSD code served by the operator of GSM network in which the telephone is used
(it depends on the SIM card installed in the module). Having received such an SMS
message, the module will execute the USSD code contained therein. The answer received
from the operator is sent in the form of SMS message to the telephone number from which
the control command was sent.
Note: Using the advanced functions available due to the USSD service (when menu is
presented in reply to the code entered) is not recommended.
Autorestart every – if the restart of module settings is to be periodically repeated, you must
define every how many hours it is to happen. The first restart of module settings will occur
after the programmed time has elapsed since the settings were written to the module. If 0
is entered, the function will be disabled.
Monitoring station 1 / Monitoring station 2
Notes:
•Using GPRS technology, event codes can be sent to the STAM-2 monitoring station or to
the SMET-256 converter.
•Communication with the subscriber sending event codes with the use of GPRS
technology should be tested by the monitoring station as rarely as possible (if a value
lower than 1 minute is entered in the "Test period" field of the monitoring station, the time
will be rounded up by the converter to 1 minute). It is recommended that the maximum
value be set, i.e. 255 seconds.
•If the converter is to send event codes using GPRS technology, an adequate number of
attempts to connect to the monitoring station is to be programmed in the control panel.
Thus the converter will have time for receiving event receipt acknowledgement from the
monitoring station.
Disabled – if this option is selected, event codes will not be sent to the monitoring station.
SMS – if this option is selected, event codes will be sent to the monitoring station in the form
of SMS messages.
GPRS – if this option is selected, event codes will be sent to the monitoring station with
the use of GPRS technology.
GPRS, SMS if GPRS failure – if this option is selected, event codes will be sent to the
monitoring station with the use of GPRS technology, but after a failed attempt of sending
events (lack of receipt acknowledgement from the monitoring station), the event code will
be sent in the form of SMS message.
Tel. number (SMS) – GSM telephone number used by the monitoring station for receiving
SMS messages. Must be preceded by the country code.
Address (GPRS) – address of the monitoring station. It can be entered in the IP address
form (4 decimal numbers separated by dots) or as a name.

10 GPRS-T1 SATEL
Port (simple mode) – number of TCP port through which communication with the monitoring
station will be effected. The port number must be the same as that programmed in
the monitoring station for managing subscribers in the simple mode.
Station key – enter in this field a string of 1 to 12 alphanumeric characters (digits, letters and
special characters) which define the key for coding the data to be sent to the monitoring
station. It must be consistent with that defined in the monitoring station for
managing subscribers in the simple mode.
GPRS key – a string of 1 do 5 alphanumeric characters identifying the converter. It must be
consistent with that defined in the monitoring station ("ETHM/GPRS key").
Advanced encryption – enabling this option will increase the security level of data
transmitted to the monitoring station. This option requires a SMET-256 converter with
firmware version 1.06 or higher, or STAM-1 PE and STAM-1 RE cards, version 3.03 or
higher.
Port (extended mode) – number of TCP port at which communication with the monitoring
station will be checked. The port number must be the same as that programmed in
the monitoring station for managing subscribers in the extended mode.
SIA prefix – 2 characters which, in case of the SIA format, will precede the "Object
identifier". Thus you can obtain an identifier consisting of 6 characters. 2 hexadecimal
characters (digits or letters from A to F) can be programmed. Entering 00 means that no
prefix will be added. Is not recommended to use the digit 0 in the prefix.
Object identifier – enter in this field 4 characters (digits or letters from A to F) which will
serve as an identifier during the test transmissions sent by the converter (the test
transmissions sent by the control panel and then converted can have a different identifier).
Do not enter value 0000 (the converter will not be sending test transmissions to the
monitoring station). Using digit 0 in the identifier is not recommended.
Obtain identifier automatically – select this box, if the control panel identifier is to be used
by the converter for converter's own test transmissions. Enabling this option is not
recommended when several identifiers are used by the control panel for reporting
purposes (the identifier used in the converter test transmission will be that recently used by
the control panel, which means that the converter test transmissions can be sent with
different identifiers).
Telephone numbers for messaging and test transmissions
It is possible to program 4 telephone numbers to which the converter will be able to send
SMS messages if specific event codes are received, and also to send test transmissions.
The telephone number must be preceded by the country dialing code.
Station simulation
Station 1 tel. number / Station 2 tel. number – enter in this field the telephone number
defined in the control panel for the given monitoring station. The converter will simulate
receiving the event codes by that station. If both telephone numbers are programmed and
the control panel will dial another number, the converter will generate a busy signal. If one
of the numbers is not programmed, the converter will be answering all the control panel
calls. The event codes received after the control panel has dialed the programmed
telephone number will be sent to the monitoring station for which the number is
programmed. The codes received after the control panel has dialed any other number will
be sent to the monitoring station for which no telephone number is programmed. If no
telephone number has been programmed, all the received event codes will be sent to
Station 1.
Cut off the telephone line voltage if GSM failure – if this option is enabled and
the converter GSM telephone fails to log into the GSM network, voltage in the telephone

SATEL GPRS-T1 11
line simulated by the converter will be disconnected (the control panel will report
a telephone line failure).
Kiss-off time – duration of the signal generated by the converter to acknowledge receipt of
the events in Ademco Express or Contact ID format from control panel. The entered value
must be suitable for the control panel settings (selected reporting format). Values ranging
from 100 to 2550 ms can be programmed (by default: 600 ms).
SIA kiss-off
If the converter is to receive events sent in the SIA format, you must specify the
parameters for acknowledgement of received events. You can choose from the list the
manner of acknowledgement suitable for the relevant model of control panel, or the
"Custom settings". In the latter case, you must define your own parameters "Kiss-off time"
and "Kiss-off delay".
Kiss-off time – duration of the signal generated by the converter to confirm receipt of the
event in SIA format from the control panel. The value entered must be suitable for the
control panel settings. You can program values ranging from 100 to 2550 ms (default:
100 ms). The field is available if you select the "Custom settings" option.
Kiss-off delay – the time by which the acknowledgment of receipt by the converter of the
event in SIA format will be delayed. The value entered must be suitable for the control
panel settings. You can program values ranging from 100 to 2550 ms (default: 100 ms).
The field is available if you select the "Custom settings" option.
SMS format
The format of SMS messages for SMS reporting must be defined according to the monitoring
station requirements. The default SMS messages format programmed in the converter
corresponds to the factory default settings of the STAM-2 monitoring station (program version
1.2.0 or later). The symbols used for programming the SMS format have the following
meaning:
- identifier;
- event qualifier;
- event code;
- partition;
- zone/module/user.
For the Ademco Express format only identifier and event code is sent. Question marks will be
sent instead of the other information.
4.3.3 "TEST TRANSMISSIONS,CLIP /SMS MESSAGING"TAB
Test transmissions
The converter can send its own test transmissions (irrespective of the test transmissions sent
by the control panel and re-sent by the converter). The converter test transmissions may be
sent periodically at defined time intervals, and also can be generated after identification of
the telephone number of the calling party (CLIP service) or after receiving a command from
the GPRS-SOFT program. The test transmission can have a form of SMS message sent to
the selected telephone numbers, can be realized with the use of CLIP service to the selected
telephone numbers or can be sent in the form of event code to the monitoring station.
Test transmission every – if the converter test transmission is to be of periodical nature,
you have to program every how may days, hours and minutes it should be sent. The first
test transmission will be sent after the preset time since saving the settings in the
converter has elapsed.

12 GPRS-T1 SATEL
Note: If an extra test transmission (using the CLIP service or the GPRS-SOFT program
command) is generated, the time before sending the periodical test transmission will
be counted from the beginning.
SMS test transmission – enter in this field the SMS message body which will be sent as
the converter test transmission to the selected telephone numbers.
Note: If you have defined the time period after which the test transmission is to be sent, and
the "SMS test transmission" field remains blank, SMS messages containing
information on the module status will be sent – as test transmissions – to the selected
telephone numbers (see: "Send SMS with module status to CLIP" option).
Fig. 8. "Test transmissions, CLIP / SMS messaging" tab.
Send test as event to monitoring stations – if this option is enabled, the converter test
transmission can be sent to the monitoring stations. The method of sending the event code
(SMS, GPRS) depends on the rules defined for each monitoring station in the "GSM
telephone, Monitoring stations" tab. It is necessary to define the event code to be sent.
Event codes for converter test transmission
The table makes it possible to define the codes which will be sent to the monitoring
stations for the converter test transmission.
Format – format in which the event code will be sent. The formats you can select from are
4/2 (for Ademco Express) or CID (Contact ID). Click twice on the format field to change
the displayed format. If the last converted event was in the SIA format, this format will
be shown in the field.
Code– event code. For the 4/2 format, 2 characters (digits or letters from A to F) should
be programmed, and for the Contact ID – 3 digits. In case of the Contact ID format, you
can use the code editor. To open the code editor window, click on the button designated
with three dots, available in the "Event" field.

number is to be realized with the use of CLIP service (the converter will dial the
programmed number and then will be trying for 30 seconds to get through
- the converter telephone number will be displayed in the telephone).
Note:Do not answer any call from the converter, if the CLIP test transmission is to be
effected without incurring any costs.
CLIP settings
The table makes it possible to determine in detail how the CLIP test transmissions are to be
sent to the four telephone numbers programmed in the "GSM telephone, Monitoring stations"
tab. Click twice on the chosen field to select/deselect it (the field is selected, if "x" symbol is
displayed in it).
Acknowledgement – select this field if the converter is to wait for the acknowledgement of
receipt of test transmission using the CLIP service. In order to acknowledge receiving the
CLIP test transmission, reject the call coming from the converter.
Retries number – if the "Acknowledgement" field is selected, the test transmission with the
use of CLIP service can be conducted a specified number of times. Values from 1 to 15
can be programmed. Acknowledgement of the CLIP test transmission receipt will make the
module stop repeating such a transmission (e.g. if the test transmission is programmed to

14 GPRS-T1 SATEL
be repeated 5 times, but it is already received at the first attempt, the converter will not
send the other 4 transmissions).
-> SMS – if the "Acknowledgement" field is selected and receiving the CLIP test transmission
is not acknowledged, the converter may send a "CLIP failed" SMS message to the
selected telephone number.
CLIP
CLIP starts test transmission – if this option is enabled, it is possible to send a test
transmission with the use of CLIP service. Call the converter telephone number and after
hearing the dialing tone, hang up – the converter will identify the telephone number of
the calling party and send a test transmission according to the preprogrammed settings.
Send SMS with module status to CLIP – if this option is enabled, it is possible to obtain
information about the converter status with the use of CLIP service. Call the converter
telephone number and after hearing the dialing tone, hang up – the converter will identify
the telephone number of the calling party and send to that number an SMS message
containing the following information:
– module name;
– version of converter software (version number and date of build);
– current level of signal received by the antenna;
– current supply voltage value.
Reaction to CLIP only when number is on list of telephones for messaging – if this
option is enabled, the converter will only send test transmission or SMS message with
status information when the telephone number, identified owing to the CLIP service, is one
of the numbers programmed in the "GSM telephone, Monitoring stations" tab on the
"Telephone numbers for messaging and test transmissions" list.
Note:If the "Reaction to CLIP only when number is on list of telephones for messaging"
option is not enabled, the test transmissions and SMS messages with information on
device status:
−for the numbers in the list, they will be sent by the converter immediately,
−for the numbers not in the list, they can be sent by the converter every 10 minutes
at the most.
CLIP / SMS messaging
The GPRS-T1 converter may be used not only for reporting, but also for notification
purposes. The notification is effected by means of SMS messages, CLIP service, or both at
the same time. You can define up to 32 events and the SMS message content for each of
them. If a specified event code is received by the converter, the messaging is executed.
The CLIP / SMS messaging is functioning independently of the reporting function. It is not
available in case of the SIA format codes.
CLIP / SMS messaging – enable this option, if the converter is to inform by means of CLIP
service/ SMS messages about receiving selected event codes.
Add partition/user/input number to SMS – this option refers to the event codes in
Contact ID format. If this option is enabled, the number of partition where the event
occurred and the user number or the number of input which caused the event occurrence
will be automatically added to the SMS message sent by the converter to inform about
receipt of the selected event code.
Ident. – identifier that must be received together with the event code, so that the converter
can send an SMS message. Enter in this field 4 characters (digits or letters from A to F).
If the identifier value entered in this field is "0000", no SMS message will be sent.

SATEL GPRS-T1 15
Programming the "FFFF" identifier value means that receipt of any identifier preceding
the event code will result in sending an SMS message.
Format – format in which the event code must be received, so that the converter can send
an SMS message. You can select the 4/2 format (for Ademco Express) or the CID format
(Contact ID). Click twice on the format field to change the displayed format.
CODE – event code, the receipt of which will result in sending a preprogrammed SMS
message. 2 characters (digits or letters from A to F) are to be programmed for the Ademco
Express format, and 3 digits for the Contact ID format. In case of the Contact ID format
you can use the code editor. To open the code editor window, click on the button
designated with three dots, available in the "EVENT" field.
R – the field refers to the event code to be sent in the Contact ID format. The additional digit
in the Contact ID format indicates whether it is a new event/disarming, or a new
restore/arming. Select this field, if the event code is to denote new restore/arming (click on
the field twice to select/deselect it).
EVENT – this field is to be used in case of the Contact ID format. It displays description
of the event whose code is entered in the "CODE" field. A button designated with three
dots, which opens the editor of Contact ID codes, is also available in the "Event" field.
T1 ... T4 – define to which telephone numbers (see: numbers programmed in the "GSM
telephone, Monitoring stations" tab in the "Telephone numbers for messaging and test
transmissions" list) and how the messaging about receiving the event code is to be
executed. You can choose from the following options:
−blank field – no messaging,
−s – SMS messaging,
−c – CLIP service notification,
−sc – notification by means of SMS messages and CLIP service.
SMS – enter in this field the contents of SMS message which will be sent after receiving
the selected event code. The message may be composed of up to 24 characters.
