5 Testing
It is important to test the unit connection to the network, the correct GPS
location, the unit status and inputs response before installing the unit in the
container. In order to do this, you need to perform the following steps.
TCP test
This test verifies that the SIM card is open to the GPRS network, the unit can
connect to the network and make successful TCP/IP transmissions.
Press the
TCP Test
button
(
Communications > Advanced >
Communication Window > Configuration > Helios.1
). Wait a few minutes
until you receive a pop-up window with a successful connection message.
If at the end of the TCP Test you do not receive a successful message, check
your APN settings (Kylos Parameters > Network). Contact your cellular
provider and make sure the SIM card is open for GPRS. Verify that your SIM
card is not protected by a PIN code. If necessary, use a mobile phone to cancel
the PIN code.
You can also perform the test manually using the
Terminal
window. Open the
Terminal window (
Communications > Advanced > Communication
Window > Configuration > Helios.1 > Open Terminal
) and type the
following commands:
\tdm
and press
Enter
(Modem mode). The modem will be turned on.
\tr
and press
Enter
. This command runs a series of actions to check the
parameters such as reception level, visible networks and registered network,
SIM card state and information. It also attempts to connect to the routing
server. If successful, a "TCP: Send+" message will appear in the Terminal
window.
