Wireless Modem User’s Guide
How It Works
Connecting a wireless modem to the Omniguard allows it to send and receive text
messages just like a regular wireless phone. The Omniguard can be configured to send
alarm notices and daily status reports to up to two wireless phones. In addition it can
respond to request for information from wireless phones and via email. If the Omniguard
is programmed using a PC, it is also possible to send alarm and/or daily status reports to
additional wireless phones and email addresses.
The Wireless Modem
Wireless communication requires a specially configured MultiTech MultiModem
GPRS wireless modem. In order to use the modem you will need to acquire a SIM card
from a wireless provider. The SIM card contains the phone number and connection
information for providers that use GSM technology. The two major wireless carriers
using GSM are AT&T and T-Mobile.
You have two options for setting up an account. You can establish a conventional
wireless contract where you are billed for monthly service. You may be able to set up
this type of account without even getting a phone, only a SIM card. If you must get a
phone, the SIM card can easily be removed and installed in the modem. Choose a
wireless plan that is best for the number of text messages you plan to send and receive
from the Omniguard. You will not need any regular calling minutes since the modem
will not make conventional phone calls.
Your second option is to use a prepaid wireless plan. Both AT&T and T-Mobile offer
plans with no contracts that allow text messaging. This is a good option if the number of
messages will not be too high. For example you can send 1000 messages with T-
Mobile’s prepaid plan if you purchase a $100 refill card and you have up to one year to
use the credit. You must monitor your account balance using online tools to make sure
you do not run out during a job. Keep in mind that if you’ve set up the Omniguard to
send text messages each time there is an alarm, you could send up to unown messages per
day.
Connecting
Follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide included with the modem to insert
the card in the modem, attach the antenna, connect the power supply and plug it into a
power outlet.
If you Omniguard does not have a serial port, connect the modem serial cable to the
Omniguard USB Port Adapter serial port and plug the adapter into the appropriate port on
your Omniguard. For Omniguards with a serial port you can connect the modem serial
cable directly to the Omniguard. Your Omniguard must be running V6.14 or later
firmware to utilize a wireless modem.
With the Omniguard turned on and displaying the pressure, you should see the
wireless modem ready icon to the right of the pressure within a few minutes.
Authorizing
If you did not purchase your modem directly from Engineering Solutions it will need
to be authorized for use by the Omniguard. When your modem is connected and the
Omniguard is turned on, you will be informed that the modem is “Not Authorized” along
with a serial number. Contact Engineering Solutions, provide us with the serial number
shown on the screen and we will give the passcode to authorize the modem. To enter the
passcode into the Omniguard use the up and down arrow keys to change a digit and the
right and left arrow keys to move between the digits. When all the digits have been
entered press SAVE to authorize the modem. You will get the message “Modem ready”.
The modem will now work with any compatible Omniguard.
Configuring
Two wireless phone numbers can be programmed directly into the Omniguard. A text
message will be sent to each phone number when the Omniguard enters normal operation
and when an alarm condition occurs. The minimum time between alarm text messages is
limited to the Message Rate to prevent frequent messages if the unit is going in and out of
the alarm state.

Phone numbers programmed directly into the Omniguard will also receive a daily
summary indicating how long the unit was in normal operation, the number of alarms and
the total time the unit was in the alarm state. The summary report will be sent at 5:30pm
each day unless a Notify List has been selected (see below).

In order to support more wireless phone numbers along with email addresses, the
Omniguard can store up to four Notify Lists. These lists allow different phone numbers
and/or email addresses for alarm and normal operation notification and reports. They also
allow the report time to be changed. Notify Lists can only be created and programmed
into the Omniguard using the Omniguard Communications PC software available at
www.engsolinc.com. See the help that comes with the software for more information on
setting up Notify Lists.
To configure and test the wireless modem –
1. Connect the modem to the Omniguard as described above.
2. Highlight WIRELESS MODEM using up and down keys and press SELECT to
view or change the settings.
3. If desired, press up and down keys to change Cell # 1, the first of two wireless
phone numbers that can be programmed on the Omniguard. Once the first digit of
the number has been changed, use right and left keys to move to the other digits.
To delete the phone number, set the first digit to a blank.
4. Press right and left keys to move to Cell # 2. Again use up and down keys to
change the first digit of the phone number. Once the first digit of the number has
been changed, use right and left keys to move to the other digits.
5. Press right and left keys to move to Notify. If you have programmed one or more
Notify Lists into the Omniguard using the Omniguard Communications PC
software, you can select on of them using “up/down”.
6. Press right and left keys to move to Test Modem. When “Test” is selected,
pressing the SELECT key will cause a message to be sent to the Cell # 1 and Cell
# 2 phone numbers as well as any numbers or email addresses in the chosen
Notify List.
7. Press SAVE to save the settings and return to the Main Menu.
Pressing the EXIT key will return you to the Main Menu without saving the updated
settings.
Requesting Information
It is also possible to request information from an Omniguard connected to a wireless
modem. A text message or email is sent to the Omniguard which will reply with a report
based on the content of the message. The reports include a daily summary, overall job
summary, current status and settings. To get a complete list of reports the Omniguard can
provide send a text message or email with a “0” (zero) in the body of the message.
Text messages must sent to the Omniguard must be in the “short message” format and
are sent to the phone number of the wireless modem. Email message must be in plain text
format and should be sent to the email address provided by the wireless service provider.
wireless modem.
Note that when requesting information using email the reply from the Omniguard
may be truncated due to the length of the email address and limitations in the size of text
messages.

Tips
•It is very helpful to make use of the Job capabilities of the Omniguard
including the use of Job Names. When start work at a new job site, press the
START JOB key on the Omniguard and enter a meaningful name for the job,
such as the address. This will make the reports easier to identify since they all
use the Job Name. The Job Summary will also accurately reflect work done.
•By entering an email address into the list of Report Targets in a notify list, you
can have a daily summary of the job sent to you automatically.
