4. GENERAL OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
When a phone call is made to the phone number of the SIM card inserted in ESIM120/ESIM320, the system will verify if the caller’s phone
number exists in the device database. If the caller is one of the 5 administrators or the phone number belongs to one of the 2000 database
users, the system will reject the phone call, thus making the phone call free of charge, and open the gate. If the phone number is not recog-
nized, the system will reject the phone call and ignore it. The gate controller can also control your gate automatically in accordance with the
scheduled time or by sending an SMS text message from the administrator’s phone number.
By connecting a sensor to one of the 3 inputs, the administrators can receive SMS text messages regarding the gates that failed to close
during the set time period.

9.1. Automatic Date and Time Synchronization

This feature enables the system to set the date and time automatically without the user being involved in this process. The system sup-
ports the following methods of automatic date and time synchronization that are used automatically on system start-up and periodically
(by default – every 30 days):
• Via GSM network – Once enabled, the system automatically sends a date/time request to the GSM operator. This method is the
most accurate synchronization method. Some GSM operators might not support it.
• By SMS text message – Once enabled, the system automatically sends the SMS text message to its own phone number and re-
trieves the date and time from the SMS text message reply, as the included date and time is set by the SMSC (SMS center). This
method is not as accurate as the synchronization via GSM network, but always effective.

By default, synchronization via GSM network is disabled. To enable/disable automatic date and time synchronization via GSM network,
please refer to the following configuration methods.

NOTE: When setting up automatic date and time synchronization feature remotely, you may wish to restart the system when done.
For more details, please refer to 19. REMOTE SYSTEM RESTART.

NOTE: 0 value disables periodic synchronization.

NOTE: When both synchronization methods are enabled, the system will always attempt to synchronize date and time via GSM network
every time the system shuts down and starts up again and in accordance with the set period value. In the event of first method’s failure,
the system will attempt to use the SMS text message method as a backup.

10. USER PHONE NUMBER DATABASE
The system comes equipped with a user database of 2000 user capacity. When the phone number is set, the user will be able to control the
output (-s) by free of charge phone call. The user database allows to assign output C1, output C2 or both outputs (simultaneous control) to
a certain user. The supported phone number format is the following:
• International (w/o plus) – The phone numbers must be entered starting with an international country code in the following for-
mat: [international code][area code][local number], example for UK: 44170911XXXX1 .

User database supports user validity and access restriction features. For more details, please refer to 10.1. User Validity and Access
Restriction.
Optionally, a user name can be set that typically specifies the owner’s name of a certain phone number, for example: John.
The phone number and user name (if any) are used when searching for a certain user in the database as well as they are automatically
added in the event log after the successful output control event (see 13. EVENT LOG).
