Appendix B: Connecting to an Illuminator Remotely
Remote Connection
There are three pre-requisites for remote connection functionality to work.
If required, make the appropriate changes as suggested in each point below. Any change
needs to be done only once.
1. You must use a Telstra post-paid SIM card enabled for dynamic public IP address
(Please refer to Appendix C for details on how to do this.)
2. Illuminator WAN method must be set to "GPRS" and APN needs to be set to
"telstra.extranet"
(Please refer to "Setting up Network Parameters" -> "WAN Setting" described earlier.)
3. Illuminator E-mail settings need to be set up correctly
(Please refer to "Setting up E-mail Parameters" described earlier.)
IMPORTANT:
It is strongly advised that you confirm that all settings affecting e-mails are
correct. This done by sending a test e-mail as described in Appendix D.
To remotely connect to an Illuminator do the following:
1. Send this SMS command to the Illuminator:
pppp GPRS n,yourEmailAddress
where: pppp = 4 digit PIN of the 1st user (the Administrator)
n = number of minutes the system will wait on line for you (10 is a good
choice)
yourEmailAddress = email address where email with link will be sent
e.g. if the Administrator PIN is 1234, and the email address is [email protected],
the actual SMS would be
1234 GPRS 10,[email protected]
NOTE that there is a space between 1234 and GPRS, a space between GPRS and
10, and no spaces either before or after the comma (,).
2. The Illuminator will respond with an SMS acknowledging your message.
3. The Illuminator will then send an email to the email address nominated above.
4. Open the email and click the link.
5. Your browser will open and the log-on page will be displayed on your PC. Enter your
username and password in the spaces provided. Click on the “Log in” button.
6. "Field Lights" page will be displayed immediately following a successful log-on. You
can now examine other pages as described in “Connecting to a PC”.
7. When you finish you can log out from the "About" page.
You can use any device that is connected to the internet such PC, laptop, IPad and even your
phone.
