SMS Based Notice Board with Span Bell System

Introduction:

A GSM modem is a wireless modem that works with a GSM wireless network. A wireless
modem behaves like a dial-up modem. The main difference between them is that a dial-up
modem sends and receives data through a fixed telephone line while a wireless modem sends and
receives data through radio waves. The working of GSM modem is based on commands, the
commands always start with AT (which means ATtention) and finish with a <CR> character.

Existing system Proposed system

In existing system, the noticeboard is
handled by a human
There is no wireless noticeboard is
available
Therefore we are going to the proposed
system
In proposed system, we design a new
system for noticeboard using GSM
technology
Here the required information is send to
the noticeboard using mobile phone
This system provides more flexibility

Drawbacks of existing system: Advantage of proposed system:

Manual error may occur Manual error is avoided
Manpower is required Highly reliable
Cost effective

Working principle:
 In proposed system, The GSM modem is connected to the microcontroller through the
MAX232. Through the mobile phone the necessary information is send to the GSM modem. The
GSM modem receives that information and the microcontroller receives that information using
AT commands. The received information is send to the LCD to display the necessary
information. The AT89C51 microcontroller has the internal timers. Using that timer to
periodically switch ON the alarm to indicate every 5 minutes.
