Eugene's DIY Den Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) So I forgot the password for logging into my the online account for my mobile number (I wanted to check credit) and I did "forgot password" which unfortunately sends a validation code to my SIM which is in the GSM unit. So I'm going to have to take it out and put it into a handset to get the code to change the password online. Really frustrating. When I installed the GSM unit after installing my alarm, I think I put the SIM in before I powered the GSM unit up or even the alarm board. Question is can I just pull the SIM out now with the GSM unit powered up or could it cause damage? Is it sufficient to just disable the GSM board from the engineer's menu?

Eugene's DIY Den Posted February 26, 2021 Author Posted February 26, 2021 Is it possible for this unit to display codes sent to it by SMS on the alarm panel's LCD or get them relayed to a second handset to avoid this issue?

james.wilson Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Hot plugging all serial could be fine, but when you misalign the pins it's the main board you take out not the plug on one 1 Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
Eugene's DIY Den Posted February 27, 2021 Author Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) Quick question. I asked over a year ago about disabling the external sounder when I'm working on the alarm and you told me that this isn't an option in the engineer's menu, but I can just program the ext. bell to be something different. How do I do this? (I can probably figure it out from the diagram in the installation guide, but you guys are familiar with this stuff).

What about the the contacts on the SIM being misaligned during insertion? Edited February 27, 2021 by Eugene's DIY Den Quote Talking Tools, a Facebook group for discussing anything tool/DIY related.
