Step 6. Once this install is complete you connect your serial device behind us with these settings

·         Baud Rate = 9600

·         Parity = None

·         Stop Bits = 1

 

Step 7. Once your end device is connected serially to the SN/RAM, make sure the RS232 LED is illuminated.

 

Step 8. Then, simply make sure the end device can format the message sent to the SN/RAM as follows

This is the area to input the phone number, ex. 5557775555

 

This is the area for you SMS message, ex. TANK IS FULL!

 

Note: For Crimson-based devices you must set this message up as follows:

PortPrint(4,"TO=5557775555\r\nMSG=My alarm!\r\n");
