7.7 Registration of the GSM receiving level in a flexible archive
The EK280 offers a facility for recording the GSM receiving level determined. The purpose is to identify the
cause of any remote data transmission problem more accurately. For this purpose, the receiving level, the
modem status and the system status are recorded every 5 minutes. In the parameter file below, the number
of pre-populated lines is 2000. The scope of storage covers approx. 7 days (ring buffer), so that at all times
the data from the last 7 days can be called off.
Below the application will be described for the internal GSM/GPRS modem and for the GSN/GPRS modem
in the FE260 device.
7.7.1 Connection
No additional hardware is needed for the application. The only requirements are the internal GSM/GPRS
modem in the EK280 or a GSM/GPRS modem in the FE260. The application May be used with GSM or
GPRS modems (however, GPRS data cannot be recorded)
.
Internal modems in the EK280 may be operated
either with mains or with battery power.
7.7.2 Parameterization
To ensure that the necessary values are parameterized, use the parameterization program enSuite to send
the following parameter file to the EK280 (
GSM/GPRS modem in the EK280:
−
EK280 V2.xx - Application: Registration of receiver level (internal modem) every 5 min. in flex. arc.
15 (*)
−
GSM/GPRS modem in the FE260
−
EK280 V2.xx - Application: Registration of receiver level (FE260) every 5 min. in flex. arc. 15 (*)
−
Since the flexible archive 15 is used in both cases, only one of the two parameter files may be used.
After loading of the data, no further activity is required, and from now the level is recorded every 5 min.
7.7.3 Evaluation with enSuite
If there are receiving problems, archive 15 can be read and displayed with the aid of enSuite.
