Wavecom Fastrak Supreme GSM Modem initialisation strings

When connected to the Wavecom Fastrak Supreme GSM modem, the initialisation strings must be altered by
changing the factory set &D3 to &D2.

Description

&D2

(required for Wavecom Fastrak Supreme)

Hang up on DTR-drop

&D3

OTHER MODEMS

When using modems not recommended by DSE first try either of the options shown above. If problems are
still encountered, you should contact your modem supplier for further advice.

CONNECTION SETTINGS

Timer

Description

Master inactivity timeout

The module

looks

by default at the USB port for communications.

When activity is detected on the RS232 or RS485 port, the module

switches

to look

at the relevant port for further data. If no data activity is detected on the port for the
duration of the

master inactivity timer

, it reverts to looking at the USB port.

This should be set longer than the time between modbus polls from the master.

Connect delay

The amount of time that is allowed to elapse between the alarm being registered
and the controller dialling out with the fault.

Retries
Retry delay

The number of times the module will attempt to contact the remote PC by modem.
The amount of time between retries
