4.1. Modem Setup Preparation
Before you use the modem in a site, it needs to be configured. To do this, follow the steps below:
1.
Prepare the modem for configuration:
a)
Connect the modem to a computer using the USB A cable
— Mini USB cable (not supplied with the
package).
b)
Press the eject button for each SIM tray using a thin object.
c)
Pull both SIM card trays out of the modem (no need to remove them fully).
d)
Start the ATM Control configuration utility
– the program will display all data on the modem except for
current time and IMEI.
e)
If the password used to access the service mode for the connected modem is not the default one, enter
it
1
and click
OK
– the utility will show current time and the modem IMEI.
2.
Set up the modem using the application

:
a)
Open the
Settings → Basic
tab in the application and specify basic settings for the modem: mobile
network carrier parameters for the SIM cards used and communications server settings (when using the
modem in the
Client
mode) / network settings (when using the modem in the
Server
mode).
b)
If more advanced settings are required, specify advanced options in the tab
Settings → Advanced.
c)
Save settings specified in the application to the modem using the "
Write
" button with an arrow pointing

If you need to use the specified parameters later on, save them to a file on your computer using the
Save
button. In this case two files with the same names, but with different extensions
—
.atm
and
.atm2
, are
created. The file with the
.atm
extension is designed for further use in the ATM Control utility. The file with
the
.atm2
extension is designed for further remote configuration of the modem via the iRZ Collector dis-
patching application.

Set the modem into the operating mode:
a)
Insert the SIM cards into the trays, the trays
– into the modem.

Apply voltage to the modem using the power connector. The modem establishes GPRS connection us-
ing the primary SIM card. The start log with main settings and state of its pins is displayed over the USB
interface.
