to provide your own "crossover" network cable, which you can find
in most computer stores. If you plan to use the Base Station as a
standalone unit (that is, without a computer), you need a tele-
phone line and an external modem, connected to the A850 either
by USB or to the connector marked “modem”.
Note: Before you operate the Base Station, Adcon strongly recom-
mends that you charge the internal battery to a level where
it can sustain the operation of the Gateway. You can do this
by plugging the power cable into the A850 device while dis-
connecting the serial cable from an A440 outdoor unit for at
least six hours.
Initialize the Base Station
In order to be able to use your A850 Telemetry Gateway for the
first time, you have to initialize it through its Console Interface by
means of the Terminal emulation program Hyperterm (as, e.g., pro-
vided by WINDOWS operating systems as accessory, and also
available for download from the internet). The initialisation encom-
passes some basic steps establishing your ownership and disposi-
tion of the device. Details are described in chapter 5.
Note: Before initialising the Gateway, the Installation of the indoor
unit and of the outdoor unit has to be performed.
License of the Gateway
The Gateway software can enforce some limitations depending on
a license key:
• the number of RTUs that can be inserted,
• the number of sensors that can be inserted,
• the number of Wireless Modems that can be inserted (with
regard to the planned “multiple A440 support”),
• the number of dialup-modems that can be inserted,
• the number of GPRS pseudo-modems that can be inserted,
• an expiration time for the license.
