SMS Command and Control

SMS Command and Control allows you to send text messages to your system, enabling the system to perform cer-
tain actions. For a list of commands and how to send them see the SMS Commands table. As a security measure,
only authorized phone numbers can interact with your system. Messages from all other phone numbers will be
rejected.
Note: This is a supplementary feature that has not been investigated by UL/ULC. Must be enabled and configured
by your installer.

Looking up the Number to Call for SMS Commands

The phone number of the system is set at the time of installation. To quickly find the phone number perform the
following steps.
1. Select User Functions > SMS Programming
2. Using the downward pointing arrow, scroll to Phone #9
3. The number programmed in Phone #9 is the phone number of the system. Send SMS commands to this
number to interact with your system.

Authorizing User Phones to Send SMS Commands

You can authorize up to eight phone numbers to interact with your system with SMS. Before the system will
accept an incoming SMS command, you must enter the sending phone number.
To authorize a phone for SMS Commands:
1. Select User Functions > SMS Programming
2. Using the up and down pointing arrows, scroll to an empty phone number and select it
3. Using the numerical pad, enter the phone number of the phone you want to authorize and press Save.

Sending SMS Commands to your System

In order to successfully send commands to your system from your cellphone, you must send SMS messages in the
proper format. If configured, commands require the inclusion of a User Access Code in your message. The access
code will be verified by the system before executing any commands.
Additional information about sending SMS commands:
Text messages are not case sensitive and extra spaces are ignored.
l
In multi-partition systems and if the User has rights to manage the desired partitions, commands can be
l
sent to specific partitions by including the partition number. For more information on partitions see:
"Managing Partitions".
If the panel is configured to require an Access Code and the code is not sent or is invalid, the panel will
l
send a notification to the user advising the command was unsuccessful.
The following table lists all available SMS commands with examples of how to enter the Partition number and
access codes. The format for entering commands is as follows:
Note: Verify with your installer that the Partition number and access code are required in your SMS message. If
one or both are not required, do not enter them in your SMS message.
Note: Responses to Status and Alarm Memory requests may require more than 1 SMS message, depending on
status of the system. There is a 10 second delay between transmission of SMS messages.
