Programming by dial in
Note: programming dial in can’t be used from telephones which are already programmed to open the door when they dial the intercom ( guest list ). However, you can disable the Caller ID presentation (withhold the number) on your mobile by prefixing the intercom number with 1831.
This will enable access.
To gain access to the programming mode via dial in follows these steps:
Example:
Storing a telephone number for dial-in door release
Enter Programming Mode by Pressing…..
121234# (1234 is default password)
A successful pass code will produce a single long beep. A failed attempt will produce 3 short bleeps. You may now program up to 1152 telephone numbers into memory.
Use the following commands to program the unit

• Insert international country code (1~3 digits): 71 [ country code] #
• Add a number (up to 1152 numbers):72 [relay][telephone number] #
• Delete a number: 73 [ telephone number ] #
• Delete all numbers: 73*#

Door /Gate Release (ring in to open)
This intercom also has a feature to allow users to gain access from their mobile phones by two methods.

1. Caller ID recognition
2. by access control password mode

1. Caller ID recognition to open
Ring in to open the door for an authorized telephone number. ( Guest list ) It can support up to 1152 guests.
When the Intercom receives a call from a user, it will check the calling number and if the number is in the guest list, the intercom will drop the call and then open the gate/door. The intercom doesn’t answer the call, so this is a free call.

For Caller ID recognition to open the door or gate you need to program the mobile numbers and country code into the memory before using. ( Guest list )
Example:
Ireland Country code: 353 (UK: 44 / USA: 1)
086 5683624 (mobile number 1)
086 5682554 (mobile number 2)
086 2235644 (mobile number 3)
Command to use: 121234#71[country code]#72[relay] phone number] #72[relay][ phone number] #72[relay][ phone number] #…….
SMS format:
121234#71353#7210865683624#7210865682554#7220862235644#
To delete phone numbers of dialing in to open ( guest list )
SMS format: (to delete phone number 1 and 2)
121234#730865683624#730865682554#
SMS format: (to delete all numbers)
121234#73#
After the numbers are programmed you can also send a text message to check the stored numbers by sending SMS format 21#, then the GSM intercom will reply to the phone number list text message.
2. Access control password to open
Dial the SIM card telephone number. The unit will answer the call and you will hear a bleeping tone.
To trigger relay 1 by pressing 335678#
To hold relay 1 by pressing 345678#
To release relay 1 by pressing 355678#
To trigger relay 2 by pressing 365678#
To hold relay 2 by pressing 375678#
To release relay 2 by pressing 385678#
Above operation same as sending SMS commands
This is for door open option for telephone numbers not stored.
Check signal strength (0~31 levels)
When a request for signal strength SMS is sent to the intercom, it will reply with a signal strength code and service provider name. The code will be between 0~31 means the signal level is from poor to best.
Example:
SMS format 20#
SMS reply: Vodafone Signal Level = 31 【Signal is very strong 】
Check Relay Status
You can send SMS command code to check the relay status.
SMS format 22#
SMS Reply Relay=ON Detect = ON【Relay=Hold , Detect=GND】
Remark:
Terminal mark” Detect” (see wiring diagram) is for you to connect a door reed switch. The gates would have a reed switch wired through the” DET” input to the ground. It’s used by the user to check if the gates are open or closed.

12| To delete the SIM phone number used in the intercom for Clock date and time correction| 121234#86#
Remark: why do you need to set up the number for system time clock date and time correction?
This device has a time clock and supports automatically updating their date and time via NITZ information from the network. In case some of the networks are not available for NITZ information, we strongly suggest to setup this clock date and time correction. When the device detects NITZ information is not available from the network will automatically send a command to itself via the SIM card used in the intercom for time correction which will keep your “ dial in numbers log ” with the correct date and time.

Log Example:

Ｉ: Dial in number / Ｏ: Dial out number

Troubleshooting (Q &A)

Q. The unit powers up but there is beeping from the door station.

A. This means the unit is not able to detect the network for some reason.
-Check the SIM card is activated and has calling credit.
-Power off the unit, remove the SIM and check it in a mobile phone to verify it can make a call.
-Check the SIM does not ask for a PIN code when put in a phone. If it does, then disable the PIN code request.
-Check if the SIM is a 3G or 4G SIM. If you are unsure, contact your SIM card provider to verify.
Frequency of operation should be any one of the international WCDMA Frequency B1/ B5 /B8 and
FDD-LTE Frequency B1/ B3/ B5/ B8/ B28
-Check the signal strength for good reception.
-Check the antenna has been mounted as high as possible, not near large metal objects, wet green shrubs etc.
-Check the antenna connection. Visually inspect that the center pin inside the antenna is intact, and has not been pushed back inside the fitting.

Q. The unit calls the first number, but there is not enough time to answer before it diverts to the next number.

– A. Increase the no answer time as per programming instructions.

Q. The unit calls the first number but voicemail comes on before it can ring the second number.

– A. Decrease the no answer time as per programming instructions.

Q. The caller ID part does not work.

– A. Be sure to program the caller ID part under 72 feature. If your number is private or a number withheld, then it will not work.
Even if you have already programmed a number to receive a call from the intercom, if you also want that number to have caller ID access, it must be programmed under the 72 feature also. Ensure the number is entered as you would normally dial it from another phone.

Q. There is no audio from the gate, but the person at the gate can hear ok.

A. This can be due to low reception.
-Check reception level by *20#.
-Change SIM card if necessary to another network which may have better coverage.

Q. The audio quality that can be heard on the remote telephone is poor or humming (buzzing).

A. A small amount of GSM buzz can be considered normal on GSM intercoms, but not so much that causes the inability to hear the person speaking. This can be caused by the GSM antenna being mounted too close to the speech panel or not being mounted high enough.
-Try earthing the speech panel chassis to 0V of the power supply.
-This is also a symptom of poor reception. Try the above steps on checking and improving reception.

*Q. The or # key does not work when the intercom calls a phone.**

– A. Check if you can hear the relay clicking at the gate when the * or # key is pressed during a call. If it can be heard, then the system is working, check to wire between the relay and the lock or gate panel. If the relays do not make a clicking sound, then check this feature on a different mobile cell phone or landline. If it works on a different phone, check the settings on the phone in question under DTMF tones. Failure of DTMF tones to operate correctly is also a symptom of low reception. Check the steps above on improving reception. Try pressing the buttons longer when attempting to activate the gates or door.
