Setting the unit’s ID
In order for the unit to be identified on a Tracking Server, an ID has
to be set. The default value for the unit’s ID is
0000
. This field may
be any string of 10 characters maximum.
For this example lets call our unit
EXAMPLE

Setting the APN and PIN
After configuring an ID, the first step is enabling the unit on the
GSM/GPRS network.
For this an APN provided by the cellular
carrier is required and depending on the SIM card configuration a
PIN value will be required too. For this example we will use APN
internet.carrier-name.com
and PIN
1234
.
Setting the SIM card’s PIN:
>
SRFI1234
<
If your SIM card does not requires a PIN you can omit this step.
Setting the APN:
>
SRFAinternet.carrier-name.com
<
At this point the until will try to register on GSM and on GPRS.
Although PIN and APN parameters take effect immediately the
unit may take up some time on registering to the network if a
previous erroneous PIN was used. You can wait for the unit to
register or you can speed up the process by resetting it with the
>
SRT
<
command.
Note:
The GSM registration status is indicated by the
Network
LED. This
LED is off whenever the unit is not registered on GSM. Although the
unit is not registered, it could be searching for the operator which is
a normal condition. Other un-registered conditions may be detected
by means of the
RP
message. When the unit is registered on GSM
the
Network
LED should be either blinking or solid ON. When the
Network
LED is solid ON it means that the unit is registered in GSM
and GPRS. Refer to the
Operation
chapter for more information on
LEDs and to the TAIP reference for the
RP
message.
