SMS Command structure
Any command sent by SMS must be preceded by # and MUST be in CAPITAL letters.
First command must be PWD that means Password.
There is an Administrator Password and a USER Password, with different level of control and access.
Both passwords are set at 123456 by default. They can be changed as you like.
In order to be able to send SMS the TCS must know a valid SCA (Service Centre Address) Number. This is the SMS service Centre number, that your provider will give you.
The TCS will send the SMSes to this number and the network will route them to the recipient(s).
TCS ships already initialized, but in case you want to be sure just send the following SMS to initialise it :
#PWD123456#INI#SCA+399795000500#SCT
note: issuing a #INI command will initialize all parameters so don't do it if you have already programmed them.
The number +399795000500 that we indicate for SCA is NOT a real number,
put your operator service number (SMS centre number) in place of it.
The command #SCT sets the internal clock to the same time of your GSM operator.
After a few seconds you should receive a message that confirms every part of your command and signals any error. If you do not want to receive these messages you should always add #NOA (No Acknowledge) at the end of the command string.
Once the system has been set up properly, all functions can be performed via SMS. Please see the complete command list in Appendix 1.
NOTE: When you send a command , you will receive the answer even if your GSM number is not in the internal GSM list. This happens because the TCS recognises the caller ID and answers to it.
NOTE WELL: in some countries, unfortunately, operators do not allow cross operator SMS. Be sure that if this happens in your country you have SIM cards from the same operator in your phone and in the TCS.
