The
Gate Control BASE
device does not keep continuous connection with the cloud, it only
connects to the server upon request. Therefore, before trying to connect remotely to the
device, the request for connecting to the cloud should be sent by SMS to the phone number
of the SIM card installed in the device.
The device accepts the command for connecting to the cloud from
Admin
and
Super admin
users only. If the command is sent from any other phone number, the device will ignore the
request and will not send a reply.
Send the request command for connecting to the cloud (
CONNECT#
) by SMS to the
phone number of the SIM card installed in the
Gate Control BASE
and wait for the device’s
reply. As soon as the device connects to the cloud, it will send the following reply:
Connected to
(
IP address:port number
)

(
device identifier
)
The device will stay connected to the cloud for 10 minutes and thereafter, in case of
inactivity it disconnects automatically. Therefore, you have
10 minutes
to connect to the
device remotely, after it sends the reply message.
If no reply is received from the device within 1 or 2 minutes, please make sure that the
settings are correct and the circumstances of sending the command for connecting satisfy
the conditions mentioned above.
