SMS Function
The PTE0320 Gateway can be controlled by SMS, and contact up to 10 numbers in case of an alarm,
arm state change, or trouble. See http://jva-fence.com/sms for full instructions.
NB: This applies to PCB version 4v03 and later, or units fitted with a “Cloud Router + SMS” sticker.
Get signal information
During set-up, it may be useful to check signal strength and confirm unit details. If the GSM light is
blinking or lit, you can send an SMS to the unit of
1234 g
to receive a signal strength report.
Set APN
In some countries it may be necessary to manually set the provider APN information. This information
allows cellular devices to connect to the internet and is specific to each telecommunications company.
The unit has been pre-programmed with the APN information of most major telecommunications
providers so confirm with your local dealer if this step is necessary. You will need to contact your
telecommunications provider to determine the correct APN settings.
To change the APN, first remove the default jumper J4. Now send an SMS to the unit of the format
Apn
<apn>
<username>
<password>
where
<apn>
is
the

are
th
e

details.
Both
username and password may be blank. You will receive a confirmation SMS if the settings were
successfully stored. Remember to re-fit J4 when you are finished.
To clear custom APN settings and use the pre-programmed information, send the SMS
Apn
Factory settings
To restore a unit to factory settings, power off the device. Remove J4. Power the unit back on. After 5
seconds, the unit will have returned to factory default settings. Re-fit J4.
Warning: This will remove all memory of seen devices, reset the SMS pin, and clear the SMS report list.
It will not clear custom APN settings.
