Wintex Remote Upload/download Via Gsm

[Avotronics]

Hi,

 

First time I've tried to make configuration changes via GSM.

The client hasn't disabled voicemail on their sim yet, but I'm trying to figure out why the Orange voicemail picks up the call instead of making a data connection.

 

Reading the Elite ComGSM manual it states that in GSM mode (rather than GPRS) you can use upload/download but the sim must have a data plan. It does, yet on the Wintex connection it calls and Orange lady says leave a message...

 

so I did... "why won't you bl**dy work"!

 

SMS texts work both ways.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks
Danny

After some more reading it would appear I need a 'data number' as opposed to the sim's voice number...

 

That correct? Will Orange even know what the hell I'm on about if I ask for the data number of a sim?

No doubt they'll know what you're talking about, but if you're using a PAYG sim, they're unlikely to activate the data number, and if they do, are likely to charge you big bucks for it... Ideally you Need a fixed IP data only sim card in the ComGSM.

For all the hastle you're better off using webway GPRS I'd have thought?

Agreed

If it does not lock your panel.

I have a GSM-com thing on my home system with a Vodafone sim & data number, have tried on many occasions but never been able to connect remotely.

From memory:-

 

You can upload download using the GSM number if you have a COM2400 connected to the gsm module via a fly lead utilise the audio port . (Need a good signal strength).

 

gprs can be used but you program the module as com ip and cant use the gsm facilities and it performs as a com ip module.

 

Don't have one setup to confirm and not done this for some time.
