Introduction
QUARTZ Routers from Siretta employ 2 digital inputs and one digital output, used for switching external digital levels (DI-1 and DI-2) from the Router and accepting a digital level (DO) to the Router. The DI-1, DI-2 and DO are Dry Contact and can only be used for switching, rather than driving other inputs.
Digital Inputs allow the QUARTZ Microcontroller to detect logic states (high or low) when GND is connected/disconnected to the DI-1/2 Pins of the router. Digital Output allow the microcontroller inside the QUARTZ to output logic states.
DI-1/2 are controlled by GND.
Accessing DI/DO functions
DI/DO functions can be accessed and configured on the QUARTZ Router by navigating to the Administration tab on the router GUI (refer to Quick Start Guide) then select DI/DO Setting.
After opening the DI/DO setting page you will be presented with the page like screenshot below.
Note: – In DI/DO setting page above all the boxes where checked to show available options before the configuration of the DI/DO functions.
Configuring DI
This example is designed for the user to receive SMS notifications from the Siretta router.
Steps for setting DI-1 (OFF).
- Follow router quick start guide (QSG) for initial router setup.
- Navigate to the Administration tab on the router GUI.
- Select DI/DO setting tab.
- Check enabled Port1 box.
- Select Port1Mode OFF (other available options are ON and EVENT_COUNTER)

87. Once reboot is complete, open DI/DO setting on router page, you will be presented with the screenshot below on DO setting.
88. Settings for DO now is complete.
Testing Function: –
89. Use the mobile number defined on step 82 above to send SMS (text message) “123” to the mobile number inside the router.
90. Once “123” is received to the router, router will reply with message entered on step 81 above. (for this guide “activate on DO” used) as seen below.
91. After receiving reply from the router as seen above, then you can measure voltage using multimeter between GND pin and DO pin from the router green connector.
92. Make sure the Multimeter is set to measure direct voltage (DC).
93. Connect GND pin from the router to the black lead of the Multimeter.
94. Connect DO pin from the router to the red lead of the Multimeter
95. Multimeter should read 5.00V.
Note: The DO voltage (5.0V Max) can be used to turn on other applications such as sensors. DI-1/2 act on the same way as dry contact with SMS notifications (voltages applied should be maximum 5V0. SMS notifications my delay due to the cellular network traffics. By applying excessive voltages to the DI-1/2 pins will cause damage to the router. Steps for setting DI-1/2 (EVENT_COUNTER) will be on separate application document.
