This particular situation is managed as an error occurrence
and a confirmation of the SMS reception is waited. After that,
a “GSM no credit” warning appears on the display signaling
that no other SMS can be sent.
In this case the user is supposed to extract the SIM card from
the cellular module as soon as possible and check the
remaining credit (using its own cellular phone and calling the
network operator).
Every time a recharge of the cellular module SIM card is
performed, the corresponding expiration date has to be
manually updated – item “Exp.Date” in the “General Menu”
- “Serial & GSM com.”.
If the “Chk.Charge” item is set “Active”, a check is performed
daily between the current date and the expiration date. Two
weeks before the expiration date, the warning SMS “The cellu-
lar SIM card will expire on: DD-MM-YYYY. Please recharge or
substitute it” is sent to the programmed phone number(s). The
same message will be sent again also one week before, and
the day before the expiration date.
Note:
This particular warning message does not need confirmation.
In this case the user has to recharge or substitute the SIM
card. The sending of the repeated warning messages will be
reset when the expiration date is changed. If the expiration
date is reached without any updating of the expired date, then
the message “GSM Card expired” appears on the display
and no more SMS’s will be sent by the analyzer until the error
is deactivated.
To deactivate this error it is necessary to update the SIM
expiration date.
If the user has unlimited credit on the SIM card, the “Chk.
Charge” must be set “Inactive”. In this case the value of
remaining messages will not be decremented and no check
will be performed on the SIM card expiration date. Moreover,
in the info SMS will not be present the remaining-messages
information.
Note:
If a problem related to GSM feature occurs during the normal
functioning of the analyzer, the “GSM Not Respond”, “GSM
Init failed” or “GSM Network Error” will be displayed and the
analyzer will try repeatedly to initialize the cellular engine. The
error will be deactivated only after a successful initialization.
