Outgoing numbers
You can program 4 phone numbers. If the number dialed by the device connected
to the telephone line output coincides with the outgoing number, then, after the last digits of
the outgoing number are dialed, the module will start converting the digits following
the number and, using the cellular communicator, will set up connection to the number
entered after the outgoing number.
Allowed tel. numbers
You can program 64 phone numbers from which and which you can call by using the cellular
communicator. You can program the whole telephone number (including the country code) or
only part of it. Up to five characters (consecutive digits from any part of the number, including
“+”) can be treated as part of the number. Six and more characters will be interpreted
by the module as the whole telephone number.
Station tel. number – if this number is dialed by the device connected to the telephone line
output, the module will be receiving the event codes. If the “Reporting” option (p. 47) is
enabled in the module, the received codes can be retransmitted by the module to
the monitoring station. Define how they should be sent – see “Reporting priority” p. 50.
The programmed number must be unique and must not coincide with any other
number programmed in the module.
[Kiss-off] – the way of setting the “Kiss-off time” and “SIA kiss-off delay” parameters.

in the code of event sent to the monitoring station.
Convert A to 0 in event – if this option is enabled, the module will convert A into 0
in the code of event sent to the monitoring station.
Information
Tel. line mode/status – information about current handling of the telephone line output.
Tel. line data – information about the data currently being received from the device
connected to the telephone line output.
8.10 Reporting
The module can send event codes to the monitoring station by using the following
transmission paths:
• GPRS/LTE (data transmission via cellular network),
• SMS messages (module gets no acknowledgement of event code receipt),
• GSM voice channel (the use of this transmission path is not recommended because of
distortions that may occur when sending the event codes),
• Ethernet network (optionally, using the GSM-X-ETH module),
• PSTN network (optionally, using the GSM-X-PSTN module).
Connecting the optional GSM-X-ETH / GSM-X-PSTN component to the module enables
implementation of Dual Path Reporting in accordance with EN 50136.
If the “Events buffering” option is not enabled, events received by the module
from the control panel connected to the analog telephone line output have a priority
over events generated by the module and their codes are sent to the monitoring
station first.
Reporting – if the option is enabled, the module can send event codes to the monitoring
station. The option applies to the events received by the module from the device
connected to the telephone line output and the events generated by the module.
Reporting mode – the way of sending event codes to the monitoring stations:
Only Station 1 – the event codes are only sent to station 1.
Only Station 2 – the event codes are only sent to station 2.
Station 1 and Station 2 – the event codes are sent to both stations (the module must
receive acknowledgement of the receipt of the code from both monitoring stations).
Station 1 or Station 2 – the module will make an attempt to send the event code to
station 1 and, if unsuccessful, to station 2.
Station 2 takes over link test from station 1 – if this option is enabled when the module
fails to connect to the monitoring station 1 during the link test, the module will test link to
the monitoring station 2. The option can be enabled if the SIA-IP format is selected for
both monitoring stations in the “IP format / protocol” field (see p. 48).

hexadecimal characters (digits or letters from A to F), enable the “hex” option.
ETHM/GPRS key – a string of characters, which is used to identify the module
for the purpose of cellular network and Ethernet reporting in SATEL format. You can enter
up to 5 alphanumeric characters (digits, letters and special characters). If you want to
enter 10 hexadecimal characters (digits or letters from A to F), enable the “hex” option.
SIA-IP account number – a string of characters, which is used to identify the module
for the purpose of reporting in SIA-IP format. You can enter up to 16 hexadecimal
characters (digits or letters from A to F).
SIA-IP key – a sequence of characters for encrypting data sent in the SIA-IP format. You can
enter up to 16 alphanumeric characters (digits, letters and special characters). If you want
to enter 32 hexadecimal characters (digits or letters from A to F), enable the “hex” option.
Account prefix (L) / Receiver number (R) – a string of characters used to identify the
module for the purpose of reporting in SIA-IP format. The parameters enable you to
expand the list of attributes used to identify the module. You can enter up to 6
hexadecimal characters (digits or letters from A to F).
Both servers link test – if this option is enabled, the module will test link to the two servers
of the monitoring station. The option applies to SIA-IP format.
Supervision every – in the case of reporting in the SIA-IP format, an additional transmission
can be sent at specified intervals to check link with the monitoring station. You can
program a number of days, hours, minutes and seconds between the transmissions.
Entering zeros only means that no additional transmission will be sent.
Server 2 takes over link test from server 1 – if this option is enabled when the module fails
to connect to the monitoring station server 1 during the link test, the module will test link to
the server 2 (according to settings provided for testing the server 1). The option applies to
SIA-IP format.
Transmission period acc. to – the way of setting the “Supervision every (Server 1)” and
“Supervision every (Server 2)” parameters.
DP1 / DP2 / DP3 / DP4 – the parameters are set automatically, as required by the
EN 50136-1 standard for Dual Path Reporting.
OTHER – you can set the parameters manually.
The options are available when the “Both servers link test” option is enabled.
Supervision every (Server 1) / Supervision every (Server 2) – number of days, hours,
minutes and seconds between the tests of link to servers. The fields are displayed when
the “Both servers link test” option is enabled.
SIA-IP options
Encrypt – if the option is enabled, the data being sent are encrypted, and additionally
the date and time are sent with event code (the monitoring station can program the date
and time in the module).
Send timestamp – if the option is enabled, the date and time are sent with event code
(the monitoring station can program the date and time in the module). The option is
available, when the “Encrypt” option is disabled.
Send MAC address – if this option is enabled when the event codes are sent to the
monitoring station over Ethernet, the MAC address is sent together with the event code.
50 GSM-X LTE SATEL
SMS reporting
SMS reporting – tel. number – phone number of the monitoring station for SMS reporting.
SMS format – SMS format for SMS reporting. It must be defined as required by
the monitoring station. The SMS message format, preset by default in the module,
corresponds to the default settings of the STAM-2 monitoring station (firmware version
1.2.0 or newer) for the Contact ID format.
The STAM-2 station and SMET-256 converter do not support SMS messages in SIA
format. The form of SMS message sent by the module in SIA format is #ID|CODE,
where ID is 4- or 6-character identifier, and CODE is the received event code.
AUDIO reporting
Tel. no. 1 (Ch1) – phone number of the monitoring station for AUDIO reporting via GSM
voice channel.
Tel. no. 2 (Ch2) – phone number of the monitoring station for AUDIO reporting via the PSTN
network. Reporting via the PSTN network is possible if the GSM-X-PSTN module is
installed.
Reporting priority
Reporting priority – if sending an event code to the monitoring station using one
transmission path fails, the module can use another transmission path. You must specify
the order of using different transmission paths by the module. A successful send
of the event code to the monitoring station will terminate the procedure (except for the test
transmissions if option “Send test transmissions using all paths” is enabled). For each
transmission path, you can define:
Ch1 / Ch2 – if the option is enabled, the module will try to send the event code
to the address of the given server. If you select sending to the two addresses,
a successful send of event code to the first address will terminate the procedure.
An exception is the test transmission if option “Send test transmissions using all paths”
is enabled. In such case the module will try to send the event code to both servers.
Timeout – the maximum time during which the module will try to send the event code to
selected addresses. If the event code is not sent during that time, the module will switch
over to the next address, and then to the next path on the list.
Suspend time – the time for which reporting will be suspended, if attempts fail to send
an event code through all provided transmission paths. The module will resume
the attempt of establishing connection with the monitoring station after this time expires or
a next, new event occurs. Up to 30 minutes can be programmed (by default: 1).
Number of retries – the number of unsuccessful retries to send the event over the given
reporting path, after which the module will make an attempt to send the event over
the next path. You can program from 1 to 100 (by default: 3).
The module will only use the transmission paths for which priority is specified (they are
included in the list defining the order of using transmission paths).
In the case of SMS reporting, the module gets no acknowledgement of receiving
the event codes by the monitoring station, hence this transmission path should be
used as the last one.
The switch-over from one SIM card to the other one requires time (for example, to log
onto the network), so it is better to use up all the transmission paths available for one
SIM card.
The switch-over from one SIM card to the other is affected by the “Lock time” and
“Return time” (see “GSM” p. 34).
SATEL GSM-X LTE 51
Send test transmissions using all paths – if the option is enabled, test transmission will be
sent using all paths for which priority is specified (they are included in the list defining
the order of using transmission paths). If the option is disabled, a successful send of event
code to the monitoring station using one of the paths will terminate the procedure.
Module events distribution
Define which events are to be sent to the monitoring station 1 and which to the monitoring
station 2. The code of a module related event will be sent to the monitoring station only when
the selection box corresponding to the given event is checked. Adjust the distribution of
events to the way of sending codes, selected in the “Reporting mode” field (see p. 47).
Event codes

Port – number of TCP port used for communication with the server. You can enter values
from 1 to 65535.
For the MQTT protocol, you can set the secondary server address. In case of a failure
to send data to the primary server, the module will try to send data to the secondary
server. If the module fails to connect to the secondary server, it will try again to send
data to the primary server.
Secondary server – address of the server to be used as backup in case of a failure to send
data to the primary server. The module will then try to connect to the secondary server.
This field applies to the MQTT protocol.
Secondary port – number of TCP port used for communication with the secondary server.
You can enter values from 1 to 65535. This field applies to the MQTT protocol.
Time of using the backup channel – time for which the module will stay connected to the
secondary server. After this time, the module will try again to connect to the primary
server. If you set 0, the module will switch to the primary server only when it fails to send
data to the secondary server. This field applies to the MQTT protocol.

Options
Always connected – if this option is enabled, the module, after sending the data,
will maintain connection to the server until the next transmission. If the option is disabled,
the module, after sending the data, will wait a few seconds for the server to respond and
will terminate the connection. Connection to the server will then be established during
the next transmission. The time between subsequent transmissions is defined in
the “Polling” field.
Send after input violation – if this option is enabled, input violation will start data
transmission.
Send after the output status change – if this option is enabled, changing the output status
will start data transmission.
Automatic event sending – if this option is enabled, data transmission will be started each
time an event occurs in the module or each time the module receives an event from the
control panel.
Each data transmission will reset the countdown before sending the next cyclic data
transmission (“Polling” field).
