General index

Introduction

The PANPHONE GSM 4G/LTE is a hands-free communicator to make calls through the mobile network, control up to two relays, detect an external alarm and, in the model with keypad, manage access via password.

1.1 Models and features

One button version

Makes sequential calls to up to nine destinations saved as ABUTTON1 to ABUTTON9.

Keypad version

Allows you to call PHONE destinations and use up to eight alternative numbers per destination when there is no answer.

Independent relays

Two configurable relays can be activated by SMS, missed call, code during a conversation or keystroke.

Access control

The keypad model supports up to nine four-digit numeric passwords.

Whitelist

You can accept calls from any number or limit calls to contacts WHITE1 to WHITE9.

Alarm and notifications

An external input can generate an SMS notification to the administrator contact.

Audio

Full-duplex communication with echo cancellation and noise reduction.

Prerecorded audios

Messages available in Spanish, English, Catalan and Portuguese, depending on configuration.

1.2 CSBOX Formats

The equipment is also available in CSBOX format (plastic or metal box) for installations that do not require the usual front panel. The dimensions of the case are 125 x 93 x 52 (or 42) mm.

Plastic or Metal CSBOX (125 x 93 x 52 or 42 mm).
Model Description
CSBOX-GSM 4G/LTEGSM 4G/LTE Intercom PCB assembly with Gray plastic case. Speaker output power up to 1 W. (*)

Installation, connection and antenna

Install the equipment according to the model purchased: Series C, Series 4 surface-mounted or Series 4 recessed. Fix the support with the appropriate anchors and wire the device while it is disconnected from the power supply.

Panel models included in the documentation.

2.1 Board components

The board incorporates connectors for the relays, power, alarm, SMA antenna, nano-SIM card, push button, LED, microphone and speaker. The relays have jumpers to select normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC).

GSM 4G/LTE electronic board.

2.2 Power and alarm

TerminalFunction
Pin 1+12 Vdc.
Pin 2GND or negative.
Pin 3GND of the alarm signal.
Pin 4External alarm signal.

The alarm is activated by closing a normally open contact between P3 and P4.

2.3 Relays

Relays are voltage-free contacts: they do not supply current to the connected wiring. In the NO position, the contacts join during activation; in NC position, they separate during activation.

2.4 Antenna location

Connect the supplied antenna to the SMA connector and place it in a high place without obstacles. Keep a distance greater than 50 cm between the antenna and the electronic board. The signal quality can be consulted via SMS and takes values from 0 to 31; 31 represents the maximum level.

2.5 Power

Use the supplied power supply. Any replacement must provide 12 V DC and at least 2 A. An unsuitable supply may damage the board.

Programming

The configuration is divided into the initial programming of the SIM card and the subsequent sending of SMS commands. Preparing the SIM can make your device ready for a standard configuration.

Before we start. Deactivate the SIM PIN code and disable the answering machine on both the destination phones and the SIM installed in the intercom.

3.1 SIM preprogramming

  1. Insert the SIM into a mobile phone.
  2. Disable the PIN code.
  3. Save contacts to the SIM card memory, not just to the phone.

One button version

Create ABUTTON1 to ABUTTON9. The device calls the destinations in order until one answers.

Keypad version

Create contacts with the format PHONEXXX.Z, where XXX ranges from 001 to 999 and Z identifies the alternative destination, from 1 to 9. The SIM supports up to 250 contacts.

Example for destination 150: PHONE150.1, PHONE150.2 and PHONE150.3. For reception or concierge you can use PHONE000.1, PHONE000.2, etc.

Passwords

For access control, create PASSWORD1 to PASSWORD9 with four-digit numeric passwords.

Optional contacts

WHITE1 to WHITE9 form the incoming call whitelist. ADMIN1 to ADMIN9 identify the numbers authorized to send SMS commands and receive notifications.

3.2 Configuration via SMS

  1. Insert the programmed SIM into the device.
  2. Power on the device using the 12 V DC supply.
  3. Wait for the start-up acoustic warnings and the equipment ready announcement, after approximately 1.5 minutes.
  4. Send SMS commands from an authorized ADMIN number.

Configuration messages must begin with W, use capital letters and contain a single space between each character or digit. Example: W A 5.

If the command is correct, the device confirms receipt and restarts. If it contains an error, it does not issue confirmation.

3.3 Remote contact management

To manage contacts by SMS, use the prefix WWW. To write or modify: WWW W "ABUTTON1" "600000000". To read: WWW R "ABUTTON1". To remove: WWW D "ABUTTON1".

Operation

4.1 Outgoing call

In the one-button version, the device calls ABUTTON1 and continues to the next destinations if there is no response. In the keypad version, dial the destination and press CALL. To call the reception desk, press CALL with the PHONE000 contacts configured. The CANCEL key cancels or restarts dialing.

4.2 Incoming call

The F parameter allows accepting all calls or only those from the WHITE list. The T parameter allows you to block calls, automatically answer after a number of rings or activate relay 1 for 3 seconds in case of a missed call.

4.3 Relay activation

The relays can be activated by SMS, by DTMF during a conversation, by missed call or by CALL depending on the parameter U. By DTMF, digit 8 activates relay 1 and digit 5 activates relay 2 for 3 seconds. Keep the key pressed for at least 1 second.

Relay 1 via SMSW R 1 1 / 2 / 3Activates, deactivates or activates for 3 seconds.
Relay 2 via SMSW R 2 1 / 2 / 3Turns on, off, or on for 3 seconds.
Relay 1 by DTMF8Temporary activation.
Relay 2 by DTMF5Temporary activation.

4.4 Alarm

The alarm input is activated by closing the normally open external contact. With Z=1 an SMS notification is sent to the administrator. After an event, another event is not sent until the contact is opened and closed again; Additionally, there is a 30-second interval between events. During a call, the alarm is disabled.

4.5 Entry status

Send W C from an ADMIN number to receive the stored variables. The variable I indicates the state of the input: I=1 means alarm activated; I=0, alarm not activated.

4.6 Audio and voice prompts

Use A for voice prompt volume, CRXV for speaker volume during conversation, and CTXV for microphone volume. The values range from 1 to 5. With B=0 the announcements are deactivated and the status is indicated by tones.

4.7 Duration and signaling

D sets the maximum conversation duration, between 10 seconds and 60 minutes. K sets the maximum call establishment time: 15, 25 or 60 seconds.

4.8 Password opening

On the keypad model, enter the four-digit password PASSWORD and press CALL. CANCEL cancels or restarts dialing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Must the SIM PIN be enabled?

No. Disable the PIN before inserting the card into the device.

Where should contacts be saved?

In the SIM card memory. It is not enough to save them only on your mobile phone.

The device does not start operating. What should I check?

Check power, SIM, antenna, coverage and that the card PIN is deactivated. Wait for the boot sequence before sending commands.

Who can send SMS commands?

Only numbers saved as ADMIN on the installed SIM.

How can I check the mobile signal?

Send W C from an ADMIN number. The response includes system variables and signal level.

Do the relays supply current?

No. They are voltage-free contacts and require the corresponding circuit and external power supply.
