(ITEM 17 on page 14) may be adjusted from 10 seconds to 99 seconds to adjust for different GSM service providers for voicemail answering. To
register for one Admin only (11, 12, 13), set Ring Divert Time to 99 seconds.
It is important to know that each Admin can dial program the system but only one (1) of the Admins (11, 12, 13) can register admins, users, and
change system settings via SMS. This person with SMS capability is referred to as the Power Admin.
Note:Once the power is unplugged from the system, the Power Admin is erased from the system.
The Passcode should be kept confidential and be released to qualified Admins only.
Role Assignment Examples:
Example 1: A Single‐family Home
Person
Admin
Functions
Settings
Homeowner
Cell phone with no SMS feature
Admin 11
When the call button is pressed, this is the
first person that the system calls. Has the
option of adding users.
Homeowner’s phone number is registered to
Admin 11; Family Member 1 is registered to
Admin 12; Family Member 2 is registered to
Admin 13.
Admin 12’s phone number is also registered as a
Power Admin in order to add users, program &
receive confirmations via SMS.
Admin 11 and 12 know the Passcode and Admin
13 does not.
Ring Divert Time is set to default (18 sec), so the
system will call each Admin’s phone number in
order, but hang up before the call goes to voice
mail.
Any person who needs to be able to unlock the
door/gate without talking to the
Homeowner/Family Member may call the
system from a cell phone to unlock it themselves
if their number is registered into the system.

Not Admin
*registered as
User
Any user with a phone number registered
into the system can call the system’s SIM
card phone number to unlock the
door/gate.
Result: Admin 11 is limited to adding users by dialing in. Since Admin 12 owns a smart phone, Admin 12 can register and check users in the system
via SMS. Admin 11 and 12 would like Admin 13 to accept visitors when Admin 11 and 12 are unavailable, but does not allow Admin 13 to program
the system, so the Passcode is kept confidential from Admin 13. Trusted guests can be registered as Users in the system to unlock the door/gate
themselves by calling into the system.

Admin 12’s phone number is also registered as a
Power Admin in order to add users, program &
receive confirmations via SMS.
Admin 12 knows the Passcode.
Ring Divert time is set to 99 seconds, so the
system will call Admin 11’s phone number and
continue to ring without calling Admin 12 or 13.
All employees’ and vendors’ phone numbers are
registered into the system so they are able to
unlock the door for themselves by calling the

the office and vendors needing to make deliveries all have their phone numbers registered into the system and can call into the system to unlock
the door themselves.
