1. INTRODUCTION

The LX20B transmitters are modern devices based on

microprocessors for real-time data transmission on the GSM network.
Connection to the monitoring station allows data to be transmitted from the control unit
alarms via Contact ID (DTMF) or SIA (FSK). Transmission channels
available: GPRS / UMTS / HSPA (3G) and SMS.

The LX20B transmitters guarantee maximum transmission security.

reduce the operating costs of alarm systems. It is also possible
send text messages to private mobile phones.

The security of data transmission is guaranteed through the methods of

more modern encryption. A 256-bit encryption key has been used and
the encryption method in compliance with the AES standard (English: Advanced Encryption)
Standard). Therefore, the transmission can be received as prepared through the
[Link] monitoring system receptor.

The programming of the transmitters can be carried out:

locally using a computer and a dedicated program "configurator of
GPRS transmitter
or remotely through GPRS / UMTS / HSPA (3G)
through SMS commands
by means of transmission on the CSD channel

ATTENTION:
Do not insert the SIM card before the first programming of the transmitter.
since it may cause its blocking in the event that the card requires the
PIN code introduction.

This chapter is aimed at those users who have experience in

data transmission systems GPRS / UMTS / HSPA (3G) and that work
with an [Link]. The other users should skip this section.
and proceed to chapter 5 of this manual.

Since the protected buildings of a large part of the users extend

locally (through the computer and the programming cable). In these cases it can
take advantage of distance learning.
In this option, the programming is divided into two stages:
a) sending to the transmitter (via SMS) the basic parameters that allow him
connect to the communication server ([Link] system)
b) complete device configuration through the programming option to
distance (configurator of GPRS transmitters and [Link]).

To carry out the quick activation procedure, you must:

a) insert the SIM card with the PIN changed to 1111 or the PIN request
deactivated
b) connect the power supply of the module,
c) send to the SIM card number the SMS with the parameters related to the
connection of the device to the communication server ([Link]),
wait until the device indicates that it has connected to the server,

Attention: for the device to connect to the server, it must first be

registered in it. The registration procedure is described in the User Manual
from [Link].

e) program it completely remotely using the Configurator of the

GPRS transmitters.

The SMS format is required to contain the necessary elements, that is:

<transmitter service code>█SERVER=<address of

server█PORT=<puerto del servidor>█
APN=<nombre del punto de acceso>█UN=<user ID number>█
PW=<contraseña del usuario>

where:
█space bar
<transmitter service code>: factory set to 1111
<server address>: server address for communication designed to receive
transmitter signals, for example [Link]. In case the address is
presented in the domain format, e.g. [Link], the SMS must
attach the parameter DNS1= (address of the primary DNS server)
<server port>: server port number where the
device messages
<nombre del punto de acceso>: nombre del punto de acceso a la red GSM.
If we have access from a private network, then the SMS must include the
following parameters: UN=<user ID number> and PW=<password of
user>

Below is an example of an SMS (assuming we are using a public network and the
the server address is given in the form of IP:

When the status of the entries is in accordance with what is established in the
programming process (NO or NC), the device remains inactive. Change the
the state of any input will trigger an immediate response from the device in
form of signal transmission of such event.

Note:
Each device input (from IN1 to IN5) can be defined individually as
normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC). This means that in the state
NO, the active state will be the entry closure, and in the NC state the active state
it will be the opening.

unique. New activation of the entrance (another transmission) will only be possible when
the entry returned to the set state.

In SMS mode, the number of messages sent in a unit of time

determined is limited (the limit also concerns text messages or the
responses to the commands sent by the user). This function allows to reduce
the costs, limiting the number of messages sent unnecessarily, e.g. in the
case of the malfunction of the sensor connected to one of the inputs. When the time passes the
defined time, new SMS messages will be sent, but only to the number
limited by the user.
The content of the SMS messages with information about the events, sent

All programmable parameters are stored in permanent memory.

they do not get lost in the case of power loss. The reappearance of the
power supply causes the automatic activation of the transmitter with the settings
saved.

of the installation process. By default, the software is installed in the folder
C:\Program Files\EBS\. The installer will also be able to create shortcuts to the program in the
desktop and in the Windows system menu.

When the device is to be used for the first time, it must first be programmed by
middle of the aforementioned software. Only after carrying this out
procedure the SIM card can be inserted into the device. Otherwise the
SIM card may be blocked if the incorrect PIN code is entered. One
An alternative solution is to use the SIM card with the PIN code disabled.

In case of remote programming, it is necessary to insert the SIM card before

[Link]. Local connection

The local connection means that the configuration software (actually, the computer
in which it is installed) is directly connected to the transmitter connector
appropriate, using a special programming cable that utilizes the RS- serial port
232 (GD-PROG) or a USB or Bluetooth port (MINI-PROG-BT, SP-PROG-BT). Each
connection channel (including USB and Bluetooth) "opens" the virtual COM serial ports
used in the communication between the alarm control panel and the Configurator.

In order to program the device or perform other activities (for example, read the
device configuration, change firmware, etc.) first the must be defined the
connection parameters.

To do this, use the following window available after activating the File option.
