Appendix F.
Connecting to a hydrospider2 Remotely (LiveSMS only)
If you have the LiveSMS software option, you can connect remotely to the hydrospider2:
1. Send this SMS command to the hydrospider2:
yyyy GPRS n,yourEmailAddress
where: yyyy is the optional LiveSMS PIN – leave this blank if no PIN has been set
n = number of minutes the system will wait on line for you to connect
(10 is a good choice)
yourEmailAddress = email address where email with link will be sent
e.g. if you want the unit to go online and wait 10 minutes for you to connect and your
email address is [email protected], and you have not setup a LiveSMS PIN, the actual
SMS would be
GPRS 10,[email protected]
NOTE that there is a space between GPRS and 10, and no spaces either before
or after the comma (,).
2. The hydrospider2 will respond with an SMS acknowledging your message.
3. The hydrospider2 will then send an email to the email address nominated above.
4. Open the email and click the link.
5. Your browser will open and the log-on page will be displayed

username and password and log in as usual.

Note: to speed up the remote access, many of the web page elements are loaded from a Halytech web
server. If your web browser is unable to access the server, these elements will be loaded into your browser’s
web cache, before the login page appears. This caching process may take a few minutes to complete.
