Introduction
The KNX-GSM Gateway offers a bi-directional communication between the EIB/KNX and the GSM
network via short messages (SMS). This allows you to remote control and monitor your EIB/KNX
installation with a mobile phone.
Every authorized user can read from/write to EIB/KNX group addresses via mobile phone, if these
addresses are unlocked in the KNX-GSM Gateway. Furthermore the KNX-GSM Gateway provides
the opportunity to send short messages to one or more receivers if certain events (e.g. “Temperature
> x°C”) occur. This can be used to inform the user about interferences.
The KNX-GSM Gateway supports the widespread mobile phone standard GSM. This is why it can be
used in almost any place.

GSM Standards
The KNX-GSM Gateway was developed for operating in four different GSM frequency bands:
•
900MHz (mainly used in Europe)
•
1800MHz (mainly used in Europe)
•
850MHz (mainly used in USA)
•
1900MHz (mainly used in USA)
The KNX-GSM Gateway supports all current GSM standards because it uses GSM Quadband tech-
nology.
Important:
You have to ensure, that your GSM network provider supports the short message service
and that this service is activated for your account!
