4. GENERAL OPERATION
When a phone call is made to the phone number of the SIM card inserted in GS-500, 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 GS-500 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.

In order to configure and control the system by SMS text message, send the text command to the GS-500 system phone num-
