Configuring FarmPilot
Only read this chapter once you have upgraded the BASIC-Terminal to a BASIC-Terminal TOP. The
function described in this chapter can only be used on an upgraded terminal.
FarmPilot is an internet portal which allows software on a farm computer to exchange data with
machines via a mobile phone network. Operating data are stored in a central location on the portal
and are presented clearly to the user.
Before you can use FarmPilot in conjunction with your terminal, you must complete the following
steps:
▪
Purchase a SIM card and have it activated.
▪
Activate FarmPilot
▪
Enter your FarmPilot access data
Refer to the following chapters to learn how to perform these steps.
Activating FarmPilot
To activate FarmPilot on your terminal, you must first activate its driver.
NOTICE
High costs from prolonged data transfer
If you do not have a flatrate in your mobile phone contract, continuous use of FarmPilot can lead to
high costs.
If your flatrate has a data volume limit, continuous use of FarmPilot can quickly use up your data
volume limit.
