3.1
Programming steps specific to the GSM Module
The following programming steps are described as when
programming the GSM Module with a Carephone 6x keyboard.
See the Carephone user manual to access keyboard programming .
45 Automatic test call hours
Program the interval between automatic test calls of the IP or GPRS
connection from the Carephone 62/61 to the monitoring centre in hours.
Select from 1 to 999 hours, 0 = off, factory setting = 10
47 SIM card PIN Code
Program the SIM PIN Code for the GSM Module. Max. length is 8 digits.
This function can also be performed with a keyboard shortcut:
– Press P , 4 and 7 together for at least two seconds.
– Type the PIN code of the GSM SIM card with numeric keys.
– Press C to confirm.
48 APN Code and Auto provider selection
Program the code for the Access Point Name (APN) between 0 and 99 .
The default setting is 0. The APN codes can be found at Section A.2 APN
codes, Page 48 . Setting 99 is used to select a custom APN , available only in
extended programming, when using the Configuration Manager software.
After programming the APN code, press C and access the substep auto
provider selection to select the automatic selection of the GPRS provider
(useful to avoid unwanted roaming costs, as in border areas).
Select 0 = roaming off, or 1 = on, factory setting = 0 (off). If no APN is used,
enter any value for the APN code to access the auto provider selection.
NOTICE!
When using a GSM module, it is strongly recommended to use
the RBIP protocol through GPRS. See setting 9 in the Carephone
programming steps 11-10 & 19 . Other protocols are accepted,
but they will be transmitted through the GSM voice band.
Quality of the communication depends on the chosen protocol,
the GSM signal strength and the service provider.
