DATA TRANSMISSION

The COMNet system allows users to connect remotely with devices

equipped with RS-232, RS-485, CAN-bus, replacing traditional serial

communication which is commonly performed locally (i.e. between

peripherals and custom boards – Fig. A – or between a PC-based

proprietary application and a lift controller board – Fig. B –).

Figure A: example of local serial communication

Figure B: example of local serial communication

Figure C: general example of remote serial communication

Page 5

Setting up a COMNet system requires:

- connecting a GSM500.net / 3G.next / 4G.next / 4G.VoLTE /

4GRouter gateway (properly programmed) to the serial port of the

remote device to be controlled (the SIM card to be inserted into the

gateway must be enabled for voice/data/SMS traffic)

- installing the COMNet PC Client software in the PC which will be

used for remote-monitoring (the PC must be able to access the Internet) or

use similar proprietary application (PC application, mobile app, web

server or other solution respecting the COMNet protocol).

Figure D: example of COMNet system

Figure E: example of COMNet system

The COMNet system exclusively allows to set up a remote two-way data

communication. The data flow coming out of the remote device will be

sent to the same application commonly used for local wired

communication or to the a physical COM port of the computer.

Page 6

The connection procedure simply requires to enter the SIM card

telephone number associated with the remote GSM500.net / 3G.next /

4G.next / 4G.VoLTE/ 4GRouter into the COMNet PC Client or similar

proprietary application. This eliminates any difficulties in locating remote

devices not assigned to static IP addresses.

The data connection is established by the system on demand and the data

are transferred over an Esse-ti proprietary server (COMNet Server).

The GSM500.net / 3G.next / 4G.next / 4G.VoLTE / 4GRouter connected

to the remote device to be monitored, may also be used as a standard

gateway for voice transmission, by means of the dedicated plug or

connector (i.e. it can be connected with the elevator emergency phone

dialer) and the same SIM card needed for remote monitoring.

In the GSM500.net / 3G.next the voice call is always privileged over the

data transmission, therefore in case of a voice emergency call, the

ongoing data connection will be automatically cut off.

4G.next, 4G.VoLTE and 4GRouter can manage a data call and a voice

call at the same time, therefore in case of a voice emergency call, the

ongoing data connection will not be cut off.

PROGRAMMING

The programming of the GSM500.net / 3G.next / 4G.next/ 4G.VoLTE/

4GRouter, connected to the serial port of the remote device to be

controlled, is possible via SMS by any mobile phone or other device

supporting SMS. In case the administrator number has been previously

set, programming via SMS is only allowed from such telephone number.

An SMS notifying that programming has been completed will be sent

back by the gateway to the same telephone number that forwarded the

programming SMS.

WARNING

Programming via SMS may not be successful if the

message requested format is not respected.

WARNING

Each programming SMS can contain a maximum of

160 characters.

Message format

Each programming SMS must contain the password, allowing to access

programming, and the codes corresponding to the desired settings.

For the GSM500.net the message format is required to be as follows:

ET-IG5*xxx#c..c#c..c#c..c#

For the 3G.next the message format is required to be as follows:

ET-IU1*xxx#c..c#c..c#c..c#

For the 4G.next / 4G.VoLTE the message format is required to be as

follows:

ET-IL2*xxx#c..c#c..c#c..c#

Page 9

For the 4GRouter the message format is required to be as follows:

ET-IL1*xxx#c..c#c..c#c..c#

Where:

ET-IG5 : programming string start for GSM500.net

ET-IU1 : programming string start for 3G.next

ET-IL2 : programming string start for 4G.next / 4G.VoLTE

ET-IL1 : programming string start for 4GRouter

*xxx# : password string (default xxx = 0)

c..c : programming code as per paragraphs below

# : separator character or end string character

Notification message format

The format of the message notifying the user or the administrator who

previously sent out a programming SMS is the same as the programming

message format.

SMS notifying an accepted command - GSM500.net:

ET?IG5*xxx#c..c#

SMS notifying a rejected command - GSM500.net:

ET?IG5*xxx#c..cERR#

SMS notifying an accepted command - 3G.next:

ET?IU1*xxx#c..c#

SMS notifying a rejected command - 3G.next:

ET?IU1*xxx#c..cERR#

SMS notifying an accepted command - 4G.next / 4G.VoLTE:

ET?IL2*xxx#c..c#

SMS notifying a rejected command - 4G.next / 4G.VoLTE:

ET?IL2*xxx#c..cERR#

Page 10

SMS notifying an accepted command - 4GRouter:

ET?IL1*xxx#c..c#

SMS notifying a rejected command - 4GRouter:

ET?IL1*xxx#c..cERR#
