Configure Mobile
This category allows you to assign which mobile phone you can use to send system commands and receive confirmation
replies. These must support text messaging via SMS (Short Message Service) along with short codes. If you do not know
whether your mobile phone supports short codes, please contact your wireless carrier.
Note: If you are online with Total Connect, this guide and the companion online help guides; Total Connect for
BlackBerry, Total Connect for Mobile Phones and others are available.
1. If you have not previously entered data in the
Configure Mobile category, a “Terms And
Conditions for SMS Remote Control” agreement
will pop up. Read the terms and conditions and
check the Accept Terms and Conditions box.
2. Then click the Save Terms and Conditions
button. This will authorize service for your
account.
3. Next the Configure Mobile screen can be accessed.
4. Ensure a SMS System Abbreviation Name is assigned to the security system’s communicator device. The system
abbreviation allows for simple identification of a security system. (The SMS System Abbreviation is required for
sending text messages to control the system.) In the example above, the system abbreviation HM was assigned to
the security system.
If no abbreviation has been assigned, add one in the SMS System Abbreviation Name field.
5. Click Save, and additional information fields appear.
