Ethernet and GPRS Parameters 

Channel Role (Channel Priority) 

Selecting "Advanced setting" in the “Channels used to connect to monitoring station 

server  "  section  (see  chapter  8.1.3.1)  will  unlock  the  fields  for  each  channel  and 
individually prioritize the transmission: 

There are four settings possible: 

 

Unused 

(the communication in this way will not be possible), 

 

Main,

 

 

Backup,

 

 

Emergency.

 

Test Events Period 

The  device  sends  message  “Test”  with  determined  interval  that  informs  monitoring 

station  that  the  device  is  in  operation  mode.  In  this  field  you  can  determine  how 
often this message will be sent (in seconds). 

Primary Server Parameters 

Interval between subsequent connection attempts 

Configured and equipped with SIM card device will try to make automatic connection 

with server. In this field you define interval (in seconds) after which next connection 
attempt will follow if the previous attempt failed. 

Number of connections attempts before switching to backup server 

In this filed you determine how many times the device will try to make connection to 
primary  server.  If  connection  fail,  after  execution  of  some  connections,  device  will 

start connecting to backup server. 

Always try to connect to primary server at first 

Mark  this  check  box  means,  that  the  device  will  try  in  first  order  to  connect  to 

primary  server,  without  regard  on  definition  of  parameters  for  backup  server 
(especially number of connection attempts). 

Backup Server Parameters 

Interval between subsequent connection attempts 

In this field you define the period (in seconds) after which next attempt of connection 

to backup server will follow if the previous attempt failed.
