APN settings define with what servers the sensors can communicate. You should receive the
information about APN settings along with the SIM card. If you did not receive the APN settings, try
setting it to “Auto” (default settings).
Check the required APN and PLMN settings with your mobile operator. If the
settings are not correct the device will not be able to send / receive the data through
the cellular network.
In order to set the APN, connect to the sensor with Efento Logger, go to the “Settings” menu and select
“Network settings” -> “APN”.
After successful network registration, the device will fetch the time from the network. From now on, all
the measurements taken by the device will have the timestamp assigned. If for any reasons the device
is not able to fetch the time from the network, it will try to connect to the Efento Cloud platform and get
time from the server. If the connection with the server is also not possible (e.g. device communicates
with a third party server, or APN is configured incorrectly), it is also possible to set the sensor’s time
using Efento Logger application.
During the registration process the sensor saves the measurements in its volatile memory (RAM), and
after fetching the time from the network, it will assign correct timestamps to the measurements. If the
battery is removed before fetching the time from the network, these measurements will be lost.
If you set both PLMN and APN correctly, but the sensor is not able to register on the network or
communicate with the server, please refer to the “Troubleshooting” section of this manual.
Efento Cloud
Efento Cloud is a platform that receives and stores all the data collected by the sensors. On Efento
Cloud you can preview all the measurements, export them as a PDF or CSV report and set up
notifications. The key functions of Efento Cloud platform are:
●
Displaying the data
– measurements from sensors can be visualized in the form of a chart or
table, just click on one of the devices in “Dashboard”. The chart range can be modified by
dragging the cursor vertically and horizontally.
●
Generating reports
– To generate a report you can either click on one of the sensors, then
“Reports”, select the time interval and entry, then choose to export it as a PDF or CSV, or go to
section “Reports” section and do the same thing. In this section, you can also configure
automatic reports, which will be sent to specified email addresses at the scheduled time (e.g.
every month, every day).
●
Rules / notifications
– Efento Cloud can send SMS / email notification if the measured values
are out of the safe range. Rules can be created in the “Rules” section. To create a rule, you need
to choose one of the physical values, add recipients by typing their emails or phone numbers,
and select for which sensors this rule will be active. There is also a possibility to delay the alarm
