corresponding with the telephone line of the modem connected to the ATL.
•
Click on

In the event of problems…
If during the attempted call the GSM modem connected to the ATL does not ‘ring’, this means that the call
fails to reach its destination. In this case, carry out the following checks:
•
Check that the signal near the GSM modem is strong enough ( > 40%). To do this, use the PM.EXE
program.
•
Check that the PC modem is powered and connected with the cable to the correct serial port (the one
set in
Configuration-Options-Serial port
)
If the modem called rings repeatedly but the connection fails to be established (the window with the wording
‘Connection OK' is not shown):
•
Check the ATL programming (see previous point 2)
•
Check the ATL-modem cable 51C7
•
If you are using a phone line passing through a switchboard, try to use a direct line. Some switchboards
‘alter’ the phone call and make it unrecognizable by the GSM modem.
If the PC shows the wording 'Connection OK' but then the program goes Offline:
•
Check the quality of the GSM signal
•
Try connecting directly from the PC to the ATL with cable 51C2 and carry out all the checks described in
the ‘Direct RS-232 connection’ chapter
•
Check that the GSM modem is programmed correctly as described in the previous point 1
