3.SECURITY

There are different levels of access control for the Remote I/O control: message identifier, password, and authorised numbers. Also the aliases defined for commands increase security.

You must use a message identifier, which means that you must name the Nokia 12 GSM Module to be able to use the Remote I/O control. Each control message begins with an identifier, which enables the Nokia 12 GSM Module recognise it as a Remote I/O control message. Enter the identifier with the Nokia 12 Configurator software when using the Nokia 12 GSM Module for the first time (see chapter 4.5). Only users who know the correct message identifier can control and monitor the device attached to the Nokia 12 GSM Module. The message identifier is case sensitive.

You can use a password to further secure the communication between the mobile phone and the Nokia 12 GSM Module. You must enter the password when sending a control message to the Nokia 12 GSM Module. Set the password with Configurator or with a control message (see chapter 5.2). Only users who know the correct password can control and monitor the device attached to the Nokia 12 GSM Module. The password is case sensitive.

You can also determine a closed user group of up to 16 authorised phone numbers. The Nokia 12 GSM Module only accepts control messages from these phone numbers. Specify the numbers with Configurator. The first number on the authorised phone number list is in bold and it identifies the main user of the Nokia 12 GSM Module. The main user is notified of any unauthorised control attempts.

You can use user-defined commands (aliases) instead of the default commands of the Nokia 12 GSM Module (see chapter 5.3). If an alias has been defined, the default command can no longer be used and is not accepted as part of a control message. While default commands are generally known, an alias is only known by the one who defined it. Only users who know the correct alias can control and monitor the device attached to the Nokia 12 GSM Module.

Note: The message identifier and password are case sensitive, whereas commands and aliases are not.
