controller to a telephone or GSM modem for more remote communications.

NOTE: *For GSM modems a SIM card is required, supplied by your GSM network provider :
•
For SMS only, a ‘normal’ voice SIM card is required. This enables the controller to send SMS messages to
designated mobile phones upon status and alarm conditions.
•
For a data connection to a PC running DSE Configuration Suite Software, a ‘special’ DATA ENABLED SIM
card is required that will enable the modem to answer an incoming data call. Many ‘pay as you go’ services
will not provide a DATA SIM card.
