3.1 Connect and Power-up
Having found a suitable position to install the MesCom:
Connect to system sensors/relay etc. See connection details in section 2.5.
Connect the supplied stub antenna or any suitable GSM antenna with SMA connector.
Remove the lid by pulling a corner, being careful not to pull the battery if already
connected.
Insert SIM card as shown.
Make a note of the IMEI (product serial number)
which is required for the web configuration
manager.
Connect the battery to the small white 2 pin
connector near the power connector as shown on
the right.
The LED indicators should start to flash indicating the
unit is working. If the LEDs don’t flash it may be that the
battery is discharged, providing external power will
switch the MesCom on and charge the battery.
Connect a suitable supply to the power terminals being careful to observe polarity. Switch
the supply on.
After the MesCom has registered on a network, the LEDs give an indication of signal
strength - see section 4.2.2 for details of LED meaning.
3.2 Configure
The MesCom is supplied with a default configuration (see section 8 for more details). For
MesCom2 devices, the best way to change this configuration is via the web configuration
service at
http://www.dyconconfig.com/
(see section 13). Before using the configuration
service you will need to set the MesCom APN correctly. For the SIM card fitting, see section
16 for list of common APN settings.
Example:
9876 OPTION APN internet web web
Where 9876 is your password, the default password for a new MesCom is the last 4 digits of
the IMEI number. The response to this command will be ADDNUM successful/failed)
If your network doesn’t give a password/username leave them off the command.
Alternatively you can manually configure any/all parameters on a MesCom by SMS (see
section 5 for more details).
Before connecting a supply, ensure it is the correct voltage /
current rating and the polarity is correct.
The MesCom is not fitted with a fuse or overvoltage / polarity
protection, incorrectly connecting a PSU will damage the device.
