For more details regarding the SMS center phone number, please refer to 17. SMSC (Short Message Service Center) Phone Number.

ATTENTION: The system is NOT compatible with pure 3G SIM cards. Only 2G/GSM SIM cards and 3G SIM cards with 2G/GSM profile enabled are supported. For more details, please contact your GSM operator.

ATTENTION: We also recommend you to disable call forwarding, voice mail/text message reports on missed/busy calls and similar services that might cause incorrect system operation. Please contact your GSM operator for more details on these services and how to disable them.

NOTE: For maximum system reliability we recommend you do NOT use a Pay As You Go SIM card. Otherwise, in the event of insufficient credit balance on the SIM card, the system would fail to make a phone call or send SMS text messages.

NOTE: We advise you to choose the same GSM SIM provider for your system as for your mobile phone. This will ensure the fastest, most reliable SMS text message delivery service and phone call connection.

NOTE: Even though the installation process of ESIM110/ESIM120 is not too complicated, we still recommend to perform it by a person with basic knowledge in electrical engineering and electronics to avoid any system damage.


4. GENERAL OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTIONWhen a phone call is made to the phone number of the SIM card inserted in ESIM110/ESIM120, the system will verify if the caller’s phone number exists in the memory. If the caller is one of the 5 administrators or the phone number belongs to one of the 500 database users, the system will reject the phone call, thus making the phone call free of charge, and open the gate. By ringing to ESIM110/ESIM120 again, it will close the gate. If the phone number is not recognized, the system will reject the phone call and ignore it. The GSM switch-gate controller can also control your gate automatically in accordance with the scheduled time or by sending an SMS text message from the administrator’s phone number.

By connecting a sensor to one of the 3 inputs, the administrators can receive SMS text messages regarding the gates that failed to close during the set time period.

Example: 1111_2013.03.16_14:33


9.1. Automatic Date and Time Synchronization

This feature enables the system to set the date and time automatically without the user being involved in this process. The system supports the following methods of automatic date and time synchronization that are used automatically on system start-up and periodically (by default – every 30 days):

�� Via GSM network – Once enabled, the system automatically sends a date/time request to the GSM operator. This method is the most accurate synchronization method. Some GSM operators might not support it.

�� By SMS text message – Once enabled, the system automatically sends the SMS text message to its own phone number and retrieves the date and time from the SMS text message reply, as the included date and time is set by the SMSC (SMS center). This method is not as accurate as the synchronization via GSM network, but always effective.

By default, synchronization via GSM network is disabled. To enable/disable automatic date and time synchronization via GSM network, please refer to the following configuration methods.

Enable/disable synchronization via GSM network

The system will continue sending the SMS text message to the next preset administrator phone numbers in the priority order until one is available. The system sends the SMS text message only once and will not return to the first administrator phone number if the last one was unavailable.

16.1. SMSC (Short Message Service Center) Phone NumberAn SMS center (SMSC) is a GSM network element, which routes SMS text messages to the destination recipient and stores the SMS text message if the recipient is unavailable. Typically, the phone number of the SMS center is already stored in the SIM card provided by the GSM operator. If the administrator fails to receive replies from the system, the SMS center phone number, provided by the GSM operator, must be set manually.

Set SMSC phone number

SMSSMS text message content:ssss_SMS_+ttteeellnnuumm

Value: ssss – 4-digit SMS password; ttteeellnnuumm – up to 15 digits SMSC phone number.

Example: 1111_SMS_+4417031111111

ATTENTION: Before setting the SMSC phone number, please check the credit balance of the system’s SIM card. The system will fail to reply if the credit balance is insufficient.

ESIM120 GPRS USER MANUAL 3

1. Operation descriptionSince July 2010 software supporting GRPS connection is installed in automatic gate controller ESIM120. The users will be able to quickly perform configurations not only connecting the device to their computer but also remotely – using web browser.

GPRS connection is activated according to the standard GPRS parameters which are stored in device memory or according to one-time GPRS parameters. These parameters are activated by sending the corresponding command via SMS message. One-time GPRS parameters are valid only for one connection session (the system uses standard GPRS parameters with one or several indicated changes). Standard GPRS parameters (Table 1) are changed by SMS messages, using special software or by connecting via web browser.

One of the main GPRS parameters is the mode, i. e. Server or Client, which describes the way ESIM120 configuration web environment is reached i. e. connecting directly to the device or through transitional server. In this case after activating Client mode the administrator will be able to connect to the device through the internet website defined by the provider and the connection will be maintained through the transitional server. After activating Server mode the administrator connects directly to ESIM120 using web browser. However, this mode will operate only in the case GSM operator of the SIM card used in the device provides a static IP address. It is also necessary to mention that GPRS connection is activated only for a particular period (session time) and after this period is over it is ended automatically. In such a case, if the administrator wants to continue configuring ESIM120 it is necessary to reactivate GPRS connection and to connect using the new login data.

Before activating GPRS connection, administrator must ensure the following conditions:

number.

A short description of actions that should be taken in order to successfully use ESIM120 configuration web environment:

1. If requested, corrections are made in the standard GPRS parameters (refer to chapter 2.1 Configuring standard GPRS Parameters);

2. The administrator sends SMS message with GPRS activation command from the mobile phone number registered in the system (refer to chapter 2.3 GPRS Activation);

3. The system sends SMS message with login data (username and password) necessary for connecting to ESIM120 configuration web environment;

4. The administrator opens a corresponding web page (the address is formed depending on the running mode (refer to chapter 3.1 Login to configuration webpge);

5. Configurations or other actions are made in ESIM120 configuration web environment (refer to chapter 3);

6. If session time is not ended after all the tasks are performed, end the connection by sending a corresponding SMS message (refer to chapter 2.4 Additional Commands via SMS messages -> Ending the Session).

ATTENTION: by factory default settings the administrator can connect to ESIM120 device using a connection form provided in www.eldes.lt/login, and the connection is maintained through ELDES server (ESIM120 works in Client mode with defined ELDES server parameters).

2. GPRS configurations and activation

ATTENTION:– space typing.

2.1. Configuring standart GPRS parameters

Standart GPRS parameters are entered by SMS messages in the following format:

Here in the place of “settings” and “parameters” enter the corresponding commands from Table 1. For example, sending SMS message „1111 setgprs:type:client“ you indicate to ESIM120 to work in Client mode from the next session. All standart GPRS parameters with detailed information is provided in Table 1.

example, sending SMS message „1111 setgprs:type:client;ip:192.168.1.1;port:15000“ you indicate to ESIM120 to work in Client mode with indicated server ip address and port number):

Instead of text “Settings1”, “Parameters1”, “Settings2”, “Parameters2”, “SettingsN” and “ParametersN” use the corresponding commands form table 1.

2.3. GPRS activation

Connection via GPRS can be activated and login data (username and password) can be requested by SMS message which is used in several cases, i. e.:

�� To activate connection using standart GPRS parameters (see Table 1),:

Here “profile1” is the code name of the used standart GPRS parameters.

�� To activate connection using one-time GPRS parameters. Use one-time GPRS parameters when you want to change only one or several parameters from the standart GPRS parameters and use it only for upcoming session.

Here “settings” and “parameters” are corresponding entries from Table 1. For example, sending SMS message „1111 connect:type:client“ you indicate to ESIM120 to work in Client mode in the upcoming session (other parameters will be the same as standart GPRS parameters). To specify more than

connect:type:client;timeout:25“ you indicate to ESIM120 to work in Client mode for 25 minutes).

Example: xxxx_setgprs:apn:internet;user:web;psw:web

ATTENTION: the administrator can also receive login data (username and password) by making a call to the mobile phone number of the SIM card. However, this method can be activated only by performing particular configurations using ELDES software or by connecting via Internet browser.

2.4 Additional Commands via SMS Messages

If browser window informing about the lost connection with the server opens repeatedly, send SMS message with the text xxxx gprsreset, where “xxxx” is the main 4-digit password, to the number of the SIM card used in the device. You should receive system reply by SMS message Gprsreset:OK and click the button Refresh in Internet browser.

�� Connection session time has expired. The system sends SMS message with the text ” Session:Stop “ when the time dedicated for device configuration via Internet browser expires. This message will only be delivered to the administrator who activated the connection session. After this time expires it is necessary to re-connect to the device using the new connection data. To check how much time is left until the end of connection session send SMS message with the text ” xxxx session? “, where “xxxx” is the main 4-digit password.
