Dial-out setup for PPP client
152
FP Web-Server V2.810 EN
PPP server, works as a dialup gateway for a LAN where an e-mail server
can be used to send e-mails.
15.1.3 When using a cellular phone (GSM) modem
Please note the following when a cellular phone (GSM) module is used by the FP Web-Server to
call an ISP before sending an e-mail:
1.
At the dialog "E-Mail Server Settings" enter a high value (17000ms or
more) for the timeout of the DNS and E-Mail Server.
2.
At the dialog "Internet Dialup Settings" only the baud rate can be set.
The FP Web-Server always uses 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.
3.
Be careful with the GSM antenna! Maintain distance to other units (PLC,
modem, FP Web-Server...), which may cause interference by high level
radio waves.
4.
Set the GSM module to the factory settings (default settings) before
connecting to the FP Web-Server.
5.
Please reboot (power up) the FP Web-Server after changing cables and
connectors. Especially after connecting a modem / GSM module to the
FP Web-Server, it is necessary to restart the unit for modem
initialization and recognition.
6.
Most of the GSM providers also offer Internet services. In this case
these providers will not allow you to dial up other Internet Service
Providers via GSM! I.e. if you have a GSM contract with company
XYZ
and this company also offers Internet dial-up services, you cannot use
your GSM module to dial up Internet services from the other company,
e.g.
ABC
.
7.
The PIN code entry command AT+CPIN=xxxx can be entered in the text
field "Additional User Modem init. command" in the tab "Dial-In (see p.
145)" or/and "Dial-Out (see p. 153)".
15.1.4 GPRS Internet connections
In general a GPRS connection is set up in the same way as a regular PPP
dial-up (see p. 153) connection. The exceptions are:
The telephone number of the Internet dial-up provider is replaced by
*99***1#
Only a connection to the Internet is possible
The data amount transferred is billed (not the online time as with GSM)
