Do not expose the modem to aggressive influences (high temperatures, corrosive chemicals, dust, water,
etc.).
Protect the modem from impacts, falls and excessive vibration.
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the modem. Such actions will void the warranty.
Note!
Use the device in compliance with the operating instructions. Damages caused by improper use
and storage of the device are not covered by the warranty.
1.3. Terms and Definitions
Local configuration or updating of firmware
– configuration or updating of the modem firmware connect-
ed to a computer via a USB cable. For the ATM modem they are performed via the ATM Control program.
Remote configuration or updating of firmware
— configuration or updating of the modem firmware locat-
ed on the site, from the dispatching center. For the ATM modem they are performed via the iRZ Collector dis-
patching application which is used together with the, iRZ Collector server application.
Client modem
– the ATM modem operating in the TCP/IP client mode, i.e. the modem is connected to the
data collection server and transmits it data from an external device.
Server modem
– the ATM modem operating in the server mode, i.e. the modem waits for incoming connec-
tions and processes them.
The system of data collection and device control (hereinafter referred to as system)
– a set of tools for
automated data collection from external devices, located on sites, and their control as well as its processing,
accumulation and transmission.
Server
– a computer or specialized computer equipment with the installed server software for processing cli-
ent requests (in the terms of a client-server interaction model).
iRZ Collector solution
– IRZ-manufactured software solution including the server and the dispatching appli-
cations of iRZ Collector.
iRZ Collector server application
– the iRZ Collector server software to be installed on a data collection
server. It enables a third-party polling software, acting as a client (in the terms of a client-server interaction
model), to receive data from the modems, which also act as clients. That is, the server application serves as a
kind of "layer" enabling their interaction (see Fig. 1.1). For ease of reference, hereinafter the server with the in-
stalled iRZ Collector server application is referred as the iRZ Collector server.
When the ATM modem operates in the server mode, it accepts connections itself: it no longer requires a bro-
ker to interact with the polling software, operating in a client mode. In this case the iRZ Collector solution can
be still used to monitor and control the system modems (see Fig. 1.2).
