Place the Order
Service is prepaid. You can prepay for several months in advance. This will
eliminate monthly payments. Sutron will provide a monthly invoice to show
usage and account balances.
If you are using Iridium communications, you’ll need to order the following
from Sutron:
o
ISBD.SACT
one-time activation fee
o
ISBD.12K.1
monthly fee including 12K bytes
o
ISBD.XB1024 fee for each K byte over 12.
If you are using GPRS/Cell communications, you can choose plans based on

o
TMOBILE – domestic service
o
TMOBILE/AT&T roaming partners – domestic service
o
WYLESS – international partners
o

You’ll need to order activation, a monthly plan with 1MB, 5MB, 20MB or 1GB
included and pay for overages. Be aware that SMS is not available with all
providers and is optional on some plans.
If you have your own SIM card (not from Sutron) be aware that most SIM cards
give the modem a private, dynamic IP address. You cannot initiate
communications with a modem that has a dynamic IP– it must initiate
communications to you. A station using this type of SIM will operate make
scheduled transmissions but the listening will not work.
If you are using AutoPoll or Tempest (not SutronWin), you need to order VPN
IPSEC or VPN PPTP. These give your system access to the private cellular
network.
