Special Functionality
The G-SWITCH-22 offers various advanced and useful features which can
be easily set up via SMS or using the G-WEB online user interface.
These features are intended to enhance the Module’s capabilities and offer
the user more flexibility in applying the Module as a full monitoring and
control solution.
Below appears a list of the G-SWITCH’s advanced features as well as a
definition of each.
& Sticky Latches: The Module’s Outputs can be configured to
‘remember’ their state between power cycles.
For instance, if Output 2 was active, i.e. the relay
in an energised state, and the power is removed,
when power is reapplied Output 2 will return to the
activated state. This functionality is referred to as a
‘sticky latch’ and can be enabled or disabled.
Sticky latches don’t apply to pulsed Outputs and
are enabled by default
& Filter Time: Filter Time determines how long an Input event
(rising or falling edge) must be present before it is
recognised, i.e. an SMS is sent. The time is set in
increments of one second and the default is 0
& Blanking Time: Blanking Time determines how long the unit will
wait between events before it will recognise the
next event
& Event Count: This refers to how many Input events must occur
before it is recognised and an SMS notification is
sent to users
& All Pass Mode: When enabled, this useful mode allows any number
that gives the Module a Missed Call to activate the
Outputs, irrespective of whether they are learned
into memory. A typical application would be an
event such as a wedding where many guests need
to be given temporary access. Instead of manually
learning in a 100 guests and then having to delete
them again after the occasion, the administrator
can simply enable All Pass Mode and disable it
again afterwards
& Permitted The G-SWITCH-22 allows for time-periods to be
Access Mode specified during which a specific user's phone
(Recurring number will be valid and will be allowed to activate
Weekly) the unit's outputs via Missed Call or SMS.
Any activation from the user initiated outside of the
specified time-period will be ignored.
For instance, a user can be granted access between
8:00 and 17:00, Monday to Friday and his access
barred from activating the outputs after hours and
during weekends
& Permitted In this mode, an administrator can specify two
Access Mode time-based parameters between which a number
(Once off) will be valid. This is ideal for guesthouse and Bed
and Breakfast owners, as it enables them to set
specific arrival and departure dates and times and
allow access to guests based on these
time-dependent limits. This feature and only be
activated via G-Web

Command Description
p.xxxx.CO.NP.
yyyy is the new password
yyyy
Examples
& p.xxxx.CO.STR.1.‘‘pump active’’
This command will configure text string ‘‘1'’ as ‘‘pump active’’.
& p.xxxx.CO.STR.5.‘‘tan'k full’’.STR.6.‘‘tank empty’’
Configures text string 5 as ‘‘tank full’’ and text string 6 as
‘‘tank empty’’.
& P.xxxx.CO.STR.3.‘‘Open gate’’
This command configures text string 3 as ‘‘Open gate’’. The ‘‘Open
gate’’ command would be used to activate an output, the next
example illustrates this.
& p.xxxx.AP.0821234596.OU1.‘‘3’’
Adds phone number 0821234596 to the system and enables
Output 1 to be activated by an SMS. To activate the Output,
either SMS the text stored in memory location 3 to the Module, or
use the Output activation command p.xxxx.OU.OU1on
& p.xxxx.AP.0823359981.OU2.‘‘10’’.IN1R.‘‘3’’.IN1F.‘‘4’’
Adds phone number 0823359981 to the system and configures
Output 2 to be activated by text string 10, Input 1 to send an
SMS with text string 3 on rising edge activation and the same
Input to send an SMS with text string 4 on falling edge activation.
In such a case, text string 3 would typically be something like
‘‘power off’’ and text string 4 could be ‘‘power back on’’.
For your convenience, a template has been provided below which can
be used to note down which text strings have been associated with
which number in the system’s memory. It is also possible to query the
Module as to which messages are saved in its memory by sending the
following command:
p.xxxx.co.lm, where ‘‘xxxx’’ represents the system password.
