SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
The Art.2270/4G GSM module is designed to work on the same technology as mobile phones, specically a 4G network, however it
is compatible with both 2G and 3G networks. As the 4G GSM is a global module it can be used around the world. It is also designed to
interface with the VX2200 digital 2 wire bus system. It enables a call to be made from a entry point (door, gate etc.) to any telephone
number (mobile or land line).
It connects directly to the 2 wire bus (L and - databus) and is compatible with the full range of VX2200 intercom panels both functional
and digital, because of this exibility it can be integrated into small or large VX2200 digital systems that also comprises of Videx
audiophones (e.g. Art.3171 etc.) and videophones (e.g. Art.6276 etc.).
It is possible to program up to 180 users where programming is carried out using phones ID’s with each programmed phone ID able
to call four telephone numbers (if the rst is busy or not answered, the call can be diverted to up to three dierent numbers). Features
of the system include:
• Program up to 180 users (phone ID’s 1 to 180) each with 4 programmable telephone numbers (1 primary and 3 divert numbers,
land line or mobile numbers).
• Programmed numbers can be used in conjunction with Videx’s VX2200 audiophones and/or videophone range.
• 3 dry contact relay outputs (R1, R2 and R3) and 3 switched 0V auxiliary inputs (A1, A2 and A3).
• 3 programmable automated SMS messages triggered by the auxiliary inputs (A1, A2 and A3).
• Apartment alarm signal on the Land -databus which can activate the relays and/or send an SMS message to the master number.
• Dial to open (DTO) facility for each relay output (R1, R2 and R3), including up to 32 temporary DTO numbers for relay R1 only.
This feature enables up to 1000 DTO numbers (000 - 999) for relay R1 and 500 DTO numbers each (000 - 499) for relays R2 and
R3 respectively, to dial into the GSM module, the module will not answer these calls, but will activate the corresponding relay
without being charged for the call.
• Programmable phone ID timeband facility (a single timeband only).
• Programmable access control timeband facility (up to 10 timebands).
• Programmable free access timeband facility (up to 10 timebands) for relay outputs R1, R2 and R3.
• Up to 10 programmable access levels (for relay R1 DTO numbers, proximity and coded access facility (when connected to
Art.4850R proximity readers and/or Art.4903 keypads via RS485).
• Automatic time correction features and daylight saving time adjustment.
• Micro USB connection for ease of programming using the GSMSK PC software (version 4.1.0.36 or later).
• RS485 bus for connecting additional Art.4903 keypads and/or Art.4850R proximity readers (up to a maximum of 8 devices),
also for connecting Art.2813 RS485 remote relays (up to a maximum of 64 remote relay units). The RS485 bus can also be
used for ease of programming using the GSMSK PC software.
• When connected via RS485 to the Art.4903 keypad allows up to 400 permanent access codes and 32 temporary access codes
to be programmed with access control timeband and access level features.
• When connected via RS485 to the Art.4850R proximity reader allows up to 2000 fobs/cards to be programmed with access
control timeband and access level features.
• Includes a facility to remotely program the GSM module ‘over the air’ using the GSMSK PC software without the need to
actually connect a PC or laptop directly to the intercom via the USB or RS485 connections.
• Event logging system that can record up to 8000 events which can be downloaded via the GSMSK PC software.
• Remote event logging facility (unlimited events) which can be monitored in real time (refer to notes user management on
page 61).
• Integrated bootloader function for updating GSM module’s rmware via the GSMSK PC software.

VX2200 GSM Interface Module - Technical Manual
GSM Interface Module for the VX2200 Digital System
Programming of the telephone numbers (primary, diverts and DTO’s) and additional features including fobs/cards for any additional
proximity readers, programming access codes for additional coded keypads, timebands, access levels etc. can be carried out via text
messaging (refer to notes programming the GSM module on pages 29 - 55) or using the GSMSK PC software (refer to the manual
GSMSK_66251720-EN_V2-2 or later) by direct USB or RS485 connection to a PC or remotely via the ‘over the air’ feature (the PC
software can still be used to program the GSM intercom, but the PC is not directly connected to it via the USB or RS485 connection,
further details can be found on pages 46 - 47).
Alternatively a limited number of programming features can be carried out using the Videx SMS Wizard (for users) or for more in
depth programming using the Videx SMS Wizard PRO (for installers), refer to notes the GSM mobile Apps on page 56.
SIM CARD SELECTION
IMPORTANT: A SIM IS REQUIRED FOR THIS PRODUCT BUT NOT SUPPLIED BY VIDEX.
THE ART.2270/4G GSM MODULE CAN ONLY ACCEPT A NANO SIZE SIM CARD, BOTH A
STANDARD SIZE SIM AND MICRO SIM ARE NOT SUITABLE.
It is recommended to choose the SIM card which has the best coverage for the area in which the intercom panel will be installed.
Both contract and ‘Pay as you go’ SIM cards can be used, however if using a ‘Pay as you go’ we would recommend setting up an
automatic top up to avoid running short on credit and losing the use of the intercom panel. Alternatively if you already have a
contract mobile phone it should be possible to get a second SIM card and telephone number on the existing account. For more
information regarding this contact the SIM card provider or visit their website, as this is a service NOT provided by VIDEX.
NETWORK PROVIDER SELECTION
It is imperative that for the reliable operation of the system that the best network provider for the area is selected. Problems such as
network disconnection can occur if the provider has signal or interference problems for that area.We would recommend using a GSM
signal strength meter to survey the intended antenna location. Contact Videx for more information on where to purchase a tester.
For UK customers, as an initial check we also recommend visiting the ofcom website www.ofcom.org.uk and follow the onsite links to
their online mobile coverage tool (ofcom mobile and broadband checker app). This tool will advise on the best coverage for the main
network providers and other general queries that you may have about the service provider. For all overseas customers we suggest
consulting the website of the network provider that will be used to check the coverage in your area.
The antenna should always be mounted vertically at the highest point possible. Metal structures and sources of interference such as
power cables, control panels etc. can aect signals and so the antenna should be mounted away from these.
When registering a new SIM you may be asked for the IMEI number. This is the unique 15 digit serial number of the 4G GSM module.
This number is located internally on the main hardware chip inside the GSM module. To obtain the IMEI number from the GSM
module refer to the programming notes obtain the GSM’s IMEI number on page 45 - 46.
PRECAUTIONARY ADVICE
• When mounting the GSM antenna, choose a location which is away from human interaction and away from the intercom panel.
Route the GSM antenna cable from the intercom panel so that it is separate from the power supply cables and microphone wire.
• Always ensure the power is switched OFF to the intercom panel before inserting or removing the SIM card.
• New SIM cards will need registering with the network service provider before they can be used. Full details of how this is done
can normally be found in the SIM card pack. It will normally require that the SIM card is inserted into a mobile phone, a number
dialled and instructions followed. While the SIM is in the mobile phone it would be a good time to disable any PIN codes, call
diverts, ring back and disable features such as voicemail and text alerts. Details of how to do this can be found on the SIM card
provider’s website or by calling their customer services. Recommended SIM card providers are: Vodafone, Three, O2or EE.
• To be able to receive text messages from the intercom panel, the SIM card will require an SMS service centre number. This is
normally pre-installed on new SIM cards but if you are having trouble receiving SMS messages you will need to conrm this by
inserting the SIM card into a mobile phone and using the phones menu options to check it. If a number is not programmed then
it should be programmed while in the phone (the number can be obtained from the network service provider).
• Voicemail and text alerts must be switched OFF on the SIM card when using the dial in to release the door/gate feature. For
Vodafone and O2this can be done while the SIM card is in the intercom panel. For other network providers the SIM card must
be removed from the intercom panel, inserted into a mobile phone and the mobile phone menu instructions followed. This
procedure may vary between network providers of dierent countries, therefore we suggest contacting your provider for more
information regarding this.
• When storing the GSM intercom panel’s telephone number in your own mobile phone avoid using an obvious name such as
‘Front Door’, or ‘My Gate’ as this would make it easy to decipher if your phone was lost or stolen.
• The PIN request feature must be disabled on the SIM card before using it in the GSM intercom panel. It is likely on a new SIM
card that it will not be enabled but if it is, it will prevent the system from working at all.
