GSM Interface with SMS Dialout, SMS Control (UCM/GSM4)

• Acts as a backup for alarm dial-out when the land line is faulty. Alternatively, it can be used as the primary dialler without a fixed telephone line, for installations where a telephone line is not available.
• Allows the user to dial to the GSM number instead of the fixed telephone line to access Comfort Voice menus.
• Allows Comfort to report alarms via SMS (Short Message Service). The SMS message will show time stamp, alarm type and Zone or User name.
• Allows authorised Mobile phones to send commands to or check the status of appliances and the security system via SMS. Each phone can be independently authorised to arm, disarm, and access automation control.

In order for the UCM/GSM4 to be used, there must be a GSM network in the area. The UCM/GSM4 operates on quad-band frequency i.e. 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

The UCM/GSM4 requires a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card to be inserted, just like with a cellular phone. This can be a prepaid card, or one which is billed monthly according to a usage plan.
