10.3.2 Insert the SIM Card and Access the Modem Settings
1.
With the unit power turned off, insert the SIM card in the holder, and replace it (see page 21 for
an illustration).
2.
Re-apply power and check the LED indications for a good GPRS/3G signal (see page 28).
3.
When logged in locally, click the link to
Modem
. This will display the page for the GPRS and
failover settings.
10.3.3 Modem Settings: PIN Code
For greater ease of use, HMS recommends not using a PIN code for the SIM card. However, if using a
PIN code is still required, this can be done by checking the box for
Enable
, and entering the SIM card’s
PIN code, as provided by the card supplier. The PIN code can be tested by clicking the button
Test
PIN code
.
Important!
- The PIN code on the SIM card
cannot
be activated, deactivated or changed in a
Netbiter gateway. Instead this must be done by inserting the SIM card into a mobile phone and
performing these operations from there.
Note that any changes made to the PIN code function in a mobile phone must also be
repeated in the modem settings described above, i.e. if the PIN code is enabled and/or changed
in a mobile phone, then the
Enable
box must be checked ant the new code entered in the field
provided in these settings in the Netbiter EasyConnect EC250/350.
10.3.4 GPRS/Ethernet Failover Settings
Connection Mode
Netbiter EasyConnect EC250 can be used in three different modes:
• GPRS only (default setting)
• Ethernet failover to GPRS
• Ethernet only
When the Netbiter is set to
Ethernet failover to GPRS
, if the Ethernet connection to Internet is lost,
the unit will automatically switch to GPRS communication, and the exchange of data with Netbiter Ar-
gos will continue.
