The remaining options in the “Data Destination” panel are related to potential power
saving:
The settin
g for “Logger is Battery Powered”
does not matter for Sentinel2;
It automatically detects if an external
battery is connected during its operation.
Data compression can be set to minimise length of messages and hence call times.
When Sentinel2 operates with DataGate /
PressView it should always be set to
“Call in anyway”; This allows remote
programming of the device (although if
logging has been set correctly, there should
always be logged data to send).
Primary data channels (as described in this
user-guide) will fall-back to being sent via
SMS messages if the server cannot be
reached by the mobile data network.
Tick the Alarms and Secondary Files
(i.e. secondary data) if sending using the additional back-up method is also needed
for these types of messages.

Setting Network access parameters
The unit needs to know how to connect to the internet using the mobile-phone data
network. These details are set in the “APN settings”.
Either select the option to “Use GPRS
test to
choose APN settings” to allow automatic set
-
up … or “Let me choose APN settings” to
configure them manually.
If the installer knows the type of SIM card
fitted, the parameters may be selectable from
one of the pre-sets known to IDT.
