GSMSMS Interface

Schematic showing GSMSMS interface

The GSMSMS interface provides a link between the North's Extensible Object Model, and the Short Message Service (SMS) facilities of mobile telephones. The interface can send Alarms directly to a users mobile telephone via a GSM Modem fitted with a SIM card. If used with a UserData module (either within ObServer or elsewhere), the SMS user can request user pages, and set values within the pages.

Operation - alone

Alarms from elsewhere are sent to the GSMSMS interface and be directed to the current alarm user or directly to individual users mobile telephones. The GSMSMS interface interacts with the modem, and sends the alarm using SMS.

Operation – with Userdata

SMS users can set up pages of data from elsewhere then send a text message, containing a page label, to the GSMSMS interface. The interface requests the page data from the UserData object. This information is then displayed on the user’s mobile telephone.
