1.6 Testing
The communicator will now be tested to ensure it powers on correctly, GSM connection is established, alarm events are
functioning properly and SMS messages are being received.
1. Confirm the power light is turned on.
a. Steady on - Unit is on and internal battery is charged
b. Flashing 1s - Unit is on and battery is charging
c.
Off - No power connected and battery isn’t providing power
2. Confirm the GSM indicator moves from 0.5s flashing (registering to network) to 1s flashing (connection to network). If it is
not, ensure the following:
a. The SIM card has been properly inserted.
b. The inserted SIM card is activated.
c.
The GSM antenna is properly connected and within range.
4. Confirm the alarm communicator is functional by testing an alarm event. The communicator should not be connected to
the landline for this step, or it could send a false alarm to your monitoring station.
a. Arm your alarm.
b. Trigger a known zone.
c.
Wait to receive an SMS notification to your programmed phone(s) (This
may take up to 1 minute depending on telephone carrier and signal
strength Ensure the mobile phone also has adequate reception to receive
SMS).
d. Once you’ve successfully received the SMS message, if you require
use of landline for connection to monitoring centre, connect it to the
communicator via Landline RJ11 port.
2. Using the WGSMSC as a Contact ID (Ethernet/3G/4G) Communicator
2.1 Usage Overview
The WGSMSC can also be used as a Contact ID to IP communicator, establishing a connection to your monitoring station via
Ethernet, 3G and/or 4G connection. This is useful for buildings that have adopted NBN and those that no longer have access to
a direct phone line connection.
1.2 Monitoring Station Requirements
To use the WGSMSC communicator with a monitoring station, the monitoring station must have support for SIA DC09 protocol
support.
