SmartCloud SERVER - user manual

SmartCloud SERVER

Alarm and Remote Control Systems GsmAlarm-500 and GsmAlarm-600 works with the SmartCloud server. Software versions which supports SmartCloud server protocol:

  • GsmAlarm-500: 1.13;
  • GsmAlarm-600: 1.04.

If your GsmAlarm software version is older - update the software. The latest GsmAlarm software versions can be found at https://eltech.lt/en.

With SmartCloud server, security system can be monitored and controlled from a computer or mobile phone via Internet connection using a standard web browser. When SmartCloud mode is on, GsmAlarm automatically connects to the SmartCloud server and periodically sends data of system status, events, zones and PGM output state. A user logged into the SmartCloud server with Internet browser can monitor the status of the system, a list of events or temperature graphs. It is also possible to arm or disarm security system and manage system PGM outputs.

Important!
Connecting to the SmartCloud server requires a SIM card with GPRS service activated. Because the module operates in client mode, the GSM service provider assigned IP address can be internal (non-unique).

SETTINGS AND ACTIVATION

If you want to activate SmartCloud function:

  • Connect to GsmAlarm device via USB interface, use program GAprog. Open the window "System Settings-> GPRS”. Under the "Connection Settings" select "SmartCloud mode”. The "SmartCloud server” field shows connection to the server settings. The server address must be sc.eltech.lt, port: 47003. It is recommended to change the password. Device identification number (ID) is not changeable. If you want to disable PGM outputs managing or system arming/disarming from SmartCloud, uncheck the appropriate boxes. If it is necessary, enter the required settings in the "Access point" field. You can get access point settings from your GSM operator. In most cases, these boxes can be left blank. Save data into the device.
  • Create an account on web page sc.eltech.lt (or smartcloud.eltech.lt). Once you have an account, register one or more GsmAlarm devices. Create your own device name. Device identification number and login password are visible in the program GAprog field "SmartCloud server”. Enter the device ID and device password in the registration form boxes. Enter the security system phone number into the “SIM card number”. Save the data.

After these steps, follow registered device status at your account. In 1-2 minutes the alarm panel will connect to the SmartCloud server. If you do not see any changes in your account, open GAprog window “GPRS”. At the bottom of the window you can see GPRS interface status. If you will see "GPRS not activated” message for a long time, check the access point settings, contact your GSM service provider to check GPRS service is activated or not. If you will see the message "GPRS activated”, pay attention to the notification "SmartCloud". Possible errors:

  • "server not accessible": wrong server IP address or port number.
  • "server not responding": check the registered device data (ID and password) coincide with the program GAprog visible data.
  • "data send error": module cannot send data. Check the SIM card account balance.
