An SMS message is sent to the wireless GSM module to trigger a return connection to the waiting DLS 5 client.  To use this connection, the SIM number is used as the unique Identifier. Ensure the full SIM number is entered.
 
  
One key advantage of using the SMS connection type is that there is NO PORT FORWARD required on the installation.  Instead, there is a single port forward required on the DLS 5 PC's network to allow the incoming connection from communicator module.

There is a noticeable amount of time required to connect via SMS connection type.  This is due to the delays introduced at each juncture of the connection process.  Please be patient, connection times of 2-5 mins are normal.

== Ethernet/Internet (TL260GS/TL265GS) ==
 
 
 
This connection type is NEW to DLS IV, and is DLS IV's '''fastest''' connection.  Global upload and download times are reduced to seconds with this connection type.
 
 
An "Ethernet/Internet" connection is a direct connection to the installed TL260GS/TL265GS communicator.  This will require a port is available on the install-site end to accept the direct connection.
 
 
To use this connection type, you will need:
 
* The TL260GS/TL265GS must already be configured with an IP and have a connection to the internet
 
* TL260GS/TL265GS Installer Code
 
* Panel's DLS Access Code (if panel sections are included in the communication job)
 
* '''EXTERNAL''' IP & Port of the TL260GS/TL265GS that is configured to allow incoming connections to the module
 
 
This connection type does NOT backup to the GPRS (wireless) channel if the Ethernet connection fails.

There are two ways to add a TL 260 to your panel:
