Send a Communication (Cell Phone) Test on 2GIG GoControl
What This Test Does
Sending a communication test initiates cellular communication and verifies the module is connecting to the network. If your Monitoring Settings have Manual/Auto Tests selected as an Event to Forward, the test will also be sent to the monitoring station.
Note: If you don’t see a signal arrive at the monitoring station, first confirm the Event-to-Forward option above is enabled for the account.
Run the Cell Phone Test (Master or Installer Code)
- Tap Security → Menu → Toolbox.
- Enter the master or installer code.
- Scroll to Toolbox (3 of 3) and tap Cell Phone Test.
- Enter the code again to start the test (up to 2 minutes).
- On success you’ll see: The cell phone is working correctly. The test completed successfully. Tap OK.
Tip: If this is the first time the SIM is registering on the network, the initial attempt may fail—run the test a couple more times.
