Specifications

5.4. Antenna

The GSM Commander is supplied with a basic antenna that is suitable for all networks in

South Africa. Screw the antenna to its connector on the unit (only finger-tight). Verify using a

cellphone, that there is sufficient signal at the proposed installation site. On a phone with a 4

or 5-bar signal strength indicator, you should have at least 1-2 bars of signal. If the signal is

too weak, the GSM Commander may have trouble sending or receiving SMS messages. In

these cases, try and find a better location, or use a special antenna.

If you are outside South Africa, you may require a different antenna. See the “Advanced

Technical Manual” for detail. (Available on the CD supplied with the product, or on the

Internet at: http://www.gsmcommander.com/)

5.5. Software Installation

The latest software is supplied on a CD with the product and is also available to download

from our website for free at: http://www.gsmcommander.com/

The setup program will start automatically, or if the autorun feature is not enabled on your PC,

you may run the “setup.exe” executable file on the CD to start the setup process. The

software has been tested to work on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and

Windows 7. The setup process for Windows 7 has been documented here, but the process is

similar in the other versions of Windows.
