§
GSM PIN

§
Min. Temp (°C)
: Enter the temperature until which the modem should remain active. The default is -10 °C for
alkaline manganese batteries and -25 °C for lithium batteries. It is not recommended to enter temperatures lower
than the default temperatures. If the temperature falls below the temperature entered here, the logger will keep
measuring, but send the data not until the temperature exceeds the limit entered here.
§
Allow Roaming
: When enabled, the modem is allowed to use foreign networks. When disabled, only the home
network will be used. This option becomes important when the device is operated in regions close to the border.
§
Stay online
: The modem will be operated continuously, so data can be sent every minute.
Attention
: This feature
increases the power consumption!
§
Verbose
: Show detailed information about the internet connection. Useful for finding connection errors.
§
GSM period
: Set the transmission intervals in which the data is transmitted. The minimum for this setting is five
minutes. Use the drop-down menu to switch between seconds, minutes and hours.
§
GSM Offset
: Sets the time for the data transmission to the server. If, for example, the interval is set to 24 hours and
the offset is set to 6 hours, a transfer is performed daily at 6 o’clock. If the interval is set to 12 hours and the offset
to 6 hours, a transfer is performed at 6 o’clock and 18 o’clock.
§
GSM alarm period

§
GPRS repeat
: By activating the check box the logger is allowed to repeat transmissions up to 3 times in case a
transmission has failed. For different reasons, such as high network load, transmissions can fail from time to time.
If this option is enabled, waiting for the repeated transmission and sending again, consumption battery power.
