When primary alarm panel is triggered, it signals the alarm communicator which in turn notifies a CMS. Integrated SIA IP DC-09 protocol.
The module receives Contact ID DTMF codes from the dial-up communicator of security control panel, converts them into readable texts and sends SMS message to the mobile phone of a user.
It is possible to check the status, control the panel via mobile app.
Selectable 2G, 3G or 4G LTE modem. App notifications, Call alarms, SMS alarms, Events log list.
Configuration templates and remote configuration possibility. Easy SIM card, USB access. No need to open enclosure!
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITY CONTROL PANEL The security control panel should meet the following requirements:

1. To support Ademco Contact ID protocol according to SIA DC-05 standard.
2. To support dialing in DTMF tones.
3. To support Contact ID data transfer in DTMF tones.
4. It is recommended for the control panel to support automatic Contact ID codes.

MEANING OF LEDS AND CONTACTS

the network
Flashes,
remains lit for
50ms, turns off for 300ms| Modem is being registered to the GSM network.
Blinking fast,
remains lit for 50ms turns off for 50ms| PIN code of SIM card error. PIN code request should be removed
Off| Modem failed to register to the network.
DATA (red) built-in LED| Lights continuously| The memory of the module contains unsent reports to the user or to the server.
Off| All reports has been send.
PWR (green) built-in LED| Watchdog heart
beat blinking,
remains lit for 50ms, and turns off after 1000ms.| The module is functioning.
Off| The module is out of order or no voltage
LINE (blue)| Lights continuously| The security control panel
has  picked up a handset Off-hook
OFF| The security control panel
has not picked up a handset On-hook
DTMF| Blinking 5-10ms| DTMF tones are receiving from the control panel
Blinking 1s| DATA OK. Data received
correctly.

LINE (blue) LED lights continuously, when central panel OFF HOOK DTMF LED is blinking (5-10ms). When DTMF LED lights for 1s, data received correctly.

FIRST STEPS TO PREPARE GTCOM2 MODULE & SERA2
SOFTWARE

Preparation procedure of the module GTCOM2.

1. Connect the GSM antenna to the antenna connector.

2. Insert the SIM card in the SIM card holder.
   Ensure that PIN request function is disabled.
   Ensure that mobile internet service (mobile data) is enabled if mobile app or IP connection with CMS will be used.
   To avoid entering the PIN code in Sera2 software, insert the SIM card into your mobile phone and turn off the PIN request function.

3. Connect the module to the primary alarm panel.

4. Connect the module to the computer via mini USB cable

Install configuration software SERA2

Download SERA2 from www.topkodas.lt , install and open it.
If you want to edit existing configuration,
You have to read it (press “Read” in the command line). Edit settings. Write edited configuration (press “Write” in the command line)

COMMUNICATOR WIRING METHODS

The alarm panel is linked up with GTCOM2 communicator via the RING and TIP terminals simulating the connectivity of the PSTN line.
RING/TIP interface – Retrieves Ademco Contact ID data from the alarm panel, converts it into user-understandable text and delivers to up to 8 listed users by SMS text message.

The outputs can also be used for arming/ disarming by connecting an output to one of the alarm panel’s zones preconfigured as a keyswitch. If the control panel status changes from ARM to DISARM, the status of GTCOM2 changes from ARM to DISARM also If the siren is triggered, the SMS will be send to the user’s mobile followed by a call GTCOM2 could be used for all control panel control, gate control. The second keyswitch can be used to stay ARM. The first keyswitch could be used for arm the first partition and the second keyswitch can be used for arm the second partition

How to set primary panel?
Configuration of the panel PSTN communicator should be the similar as event transmission to the monitoring station receiver in CONTACT ID DTMF protocol. Practically  the module can work with any central panel which has PSTN communicator and meets Ademco Contact ID data format according to SIA SIA DC05 standard.  Also Central panel must support phone number dialing using DTMF tones.
Panel’s PSTN communication settings:
Set communication enabled
Set communicator account number 4 digits. E.g. “1234”
Set communications Telephone. Enter the monitoring station receiver’s telephone number (you can use any number longer than 2 digits. The GTCOM2 pick up and answer  when the panel calls to any phone number). Telephone number e.g. “1234”.
Set communication dialing options to [DTMF Dialing]
Set Communications protocol to [DTMF Contact ID]
If panel has such option set [Contact ID Automatic Reporting Codes] Enable PSTN communication events upon your needs Open/Close/Alarm/Restore/Maintenance/Test Panel’s settings for two ways ARM/DISARM synchronization.
Set Panel PGM to monitoring ARM status in level (steady) Mode Activation event:[ ARM Area1 ] Deactivation Event : [ DISARM Area1 ] Mode: [Steady] NO/NC depending of GTalarm2 input keyswitch settings.
In our example set to [NO] Set Panel Keyswitch to Momentary (Pulse) Mode
Zone Type : [Keyswitch Momentary] (Pulse)
Area Assigment: [Area 1] (Set AREA you want to control)
Keyswitch Action: [ARM/DISARM] Communicator’s data package protocol SIA Ademco CONTACT ID is being supported (according to SIA DC-05 standard)
Telephone number and data transfer format DTMF (tone)
Two ways ARM/DISARM synchronization means USER able to control panel via panel’s keyboard as well as remotely form GTCOM2 APP/WEB/SMS/iButton/RFID/Call. This means that the GTCOM2 APP will show the same system status as keyboard of security panel.
