Quick installation 

4.1. Check of accessories 

Make sure  you have available all accessories needed to operation  (the SIM card, the GSM 

antenna, the power supply adapter and the COM adapter or the connection cable kit according to the 
data logger, the data logger, the pay version of program for data loggers and access to the M2MTalk 
server service, if you want to use it). 
 

4.2. Software installation 

Install 

the paid version of program for data loggers

 (minimally the version 2.2.18.0, see also 

the page 

7

) on the computer, from what you want to have access to the device. The latest program 

version  is  available  on 

www.cometsystem.cz

.  Please  follow  instructions  of  the  installer  during 

installation process. 

If you have activated GPRS data services, you will use the GPRS connection for setting of 

the modem. In this case, installation of any others drivers is not needed. 

If you want to set up the modem by using the setting cable via RS232 interface (for example 

when  you  have  not  activated  GPRS  data  services),  you  must  also  install 

driver  for  GPRS  modem 

configuration

 which is available on above web address too. 

 

4.3. The modem assembling 

4.3.1.  The SIM card 

You  must  have  activated  a  GPRS  data  services  if  you  want  to  communicate  with  the  data 

logger remotely via GPRS. 

If the modem and the data logger are operated in a vehicle, it is necessary to have in mind 

that mobile operators will be allowed to change while crossing borders of various countries. If you 
also want to communicate with the data logger remotely via GPRS in a foreign network, you must 
have  activated  GSM  and  GPRS  roaming  (data  roaming)  on  your  SIM  card.  Moreover,  the  GPRS 
roaming contract must be concluded between home and foreign mobile operators. It is advisable to 
ask the home mobile operator about it even before going abroad. When in use GPRS roaming mode, 
GPRS transferring prices can be markedly higher than in the case of a home network! 

A  PIN  code  entering  must  be  deactivated

  on  the  SIM  card.  Using  the  SIM  card  in  any 

mobile phone is the simplest method how to make sure that a PIN code entering is deactivated. If a 
demand for entering a PIN code is displayed after switching the mobile phone on, you will have to 
deactivate a PIN code entering.  This procedure is dependent on a type of the mobile phone and it 
should be described in a mobile phone’s user manual. 

The SIM card is put in a holder. The holder is a modem component. The holder is ejected by 

pressing  the  button  beside  the  holder  by  using  a  fit  instrument,  for  example  a  pencil.  Insert  the 
prepared  SIM  card  into  the  holder.  See  that  the  SIM  card  stays  in  alignment  with  the  holder 
correctly for all its size. After it, the holder with the inserted SIM card is pushed in the modem. The 
correct way to install the SIM card is shown in the picture.
