Section 1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
SMS alert gateway is designed as a cost effective remote system alert device. It monitors up to 8 dry
contacts and 4 relay outputs. User-defined SMS is sent to pre-configured hand phone numbers when pre-
defined alarm condition happens. These pre-configured hand phone users can be any technicians or
engineers who are responsible to handle corresponding alarm. With the aid of this gateway, the alarm
condition brings attention to responsible personnel immediately. Besides it allows those hand phone
users to trigger any relay output by using SMS. The relay output can be connected with alarm indication
device, such as alarm siren, and others.
There is a built-in microprocessor chip running on a real-time operating system. It takes immediate
response to any change in both inputs and outputs condition. A GSM modem is embedded in the
gateway, user has to subscribe a SIM card for the gateway. The gateway can be installed in any location
under GSM coverage.
A software program, “SMS Alert Driver” is provided for configuring the gateway. Alert settings,
such as hand phone numbers, alert SMS message, and alarm condition is configurable through the
program. The program utilizes Ethernet connection therefore user can configure the gateway through
any computer connected within LAN. The detailed functions provided and operation conditions were
covered in the following sections of the manual.
