The number of available SMS storage locations on the SIM card is read out by the 
button ‘Locate SIM SMS storage locations now’.  
The controller queries the SMS storage locations in intervals of one minute. The 
baud rate and the number of SMS storage locations to be configured determine 
the duration of the query. 

Example: 

 

Baud 

rate 

 

   19200 

 

 

Configured SMS memory   

15 

 

 

Query duration 

 

 

5 seconds  

The number of SMS storage locations, which should be considered by the 
controller during its query routine, must be specified in the dialog box ‘configured 
SMS storage locations’

. A problem may occur if there are more incoming SMS than 

SMS storage locations are queried. In this case, SMS are stored in the storage 
location which is not considered by the query and can therefore not be processed 
by the controller. 

The number of attempts to connect if the remote terminal does not answer can 
be specified. This setting is effective for:  

¾

  Dispatch of messages (alarm or periodic alive SMS) 

¾

  Connection set-up for alarm messages via a data connection 

¾

  Connection set-up for security callback 

 
Possible values are 1 … 12, default is 3. 
The dispatch will only be attempted once for an acknowledgement SMS after a 
configuration via SMS.  

 

 

 
The actual field strength of the GSM signal is read out and displayed as a diagram. 
Values below 12 are poor – the antenna location should be improved. The value 
99 stands for not ascertainable field strength, e.g. due to network loss or a 
damaged antenna. 
When the location of the antenna is changed, it usually takes 5 to 10 seconds until 
the field strength of the INSYS GSM 4.2 easy is displayed correctly.
