INTRODUCTION
SHAULA-791 is a GSM gateway that can provide SMS and Call features for different Alarm systems. The features and functions may vary with firmware versions slightly but in general they are consistent. SHAULA-791 replaces SHAULA-V10. Below is the summary of features.
In the figure above SHAULA-V791 is shown labelled for important parts , we would explain these parts one by one .
1: STATUS LEDs
This is group of four LEDs that indicate different states and provide important information. Its important to understand these, as these can be very helpful in debugging and troubleshooting. The four LEDs are RED, GREEN, ORANGE and BLUE marked LA, LB ,LC and LD respectively.
2: OPERATION LEDs
This is group of three LEDs that indicate different operational states states of SHAULA-V791. The three LEDs are RED, BLE and GREEN marked PW, RI, and NW respectively.
3: IDC CONNECTOR
In order to work properly,SHAULA-V791 requires a few signals to work with , which should be made available on the IDC connector .The IDC connector is a 14 pin (2×7) connector. The pin-outs are as follows. (PIN One is marked as red)
PINOUTS
4: GATE AND DOOR RELAY OUTPUTS
SHAULA-V791 can control gate and door using two on board relays. Common and Normal Open signals of both the relays are provided on this connector. Use`1C and 1NO` outputs for gate and `2C and 2NO` outputs for gate.
5: STATUS DISPLAY
This display helps in debugging and troubleshooting , It indicates different states of the operations, It shows when an SMS is received or sent , call is received or made, etc

SHAULA-791 Users and Permissions
SHAULA-791 supports 8 users and 1 Admin. The First thing to make the system work is program the Admin number. Later other users can be added.
ADMIN: SHAULA-791 needs to be programmed with admin to work. Admin can only be added when SHAULA-791 is in reset or default condition (there is no admin ). Admin has full rights on the system. Admin number can be programmed through the app as explained later in this manual. Once an admin is programmed only the admin (or users that are added by the admin ) can control the system. Admin can add or delete users and assign permissions for each user individuality.
USERS: SHAULA-791 can support 8 users. Users can be added by the admin or any other user with permission to add users. Users can be added to the system using the ASTROLABE SMS REMOTE II app. Permissions have to be given to the user during the process of adding a user.
