GSM communicator G10T v.2

Communicator G10T operation description

The communicator G10T is connected to security control panel contacts for connecting a telephone landline. In case of an
event, the security control panel dials number 1234. Module G10T picks up the phone and receives control panel message.
After receiving the message, the module transmits it to ARC through GSM connection channel set as primary. If the module is
unable to transmit the message through the primary connection channel, the module can send it through GSM connection
channel set as backup. Messages are sent through GSM connection according to set IP addresses or telephone numbers.
If the module loses connection with both the primary and the backup IP addresses, the module can send information to ARC
with SMS messages.
If G10T loses communication with both primary and backup IP receiver then it will send Contact ID messages with encrypted
SMS to SMS receiver (modem) at ARC.
The  module  can  send  messages  to  specified  recipients  about  the  breakage/restoration  of  external  circuits  IN1  and  IN2.
Messages  can  be  sent  with  SMS  messages  to  four  mobile  phones.  SMS  message  can  contain  of  user-friendly  text  which
describes security control panel event.
Module output OUT1 state will invert when GSM connection with server at ARC fails/restores or when the module receives
an SMS message containing of command to change its output state.
Module can periodically transmit signals PING for testing communication channel.
Note: if G10T will loose communication with any receiver at ARC, it will send communication trouble signal to alarm control
panel.
