5. Set the
Dial-in Uptime
. This is the amount of time that the telemetry will remain enabled after each
upload. Using Sentek Remote Connection Manager (RCM) software, during this time it is possible to
dial-in to the modem or other telemetry connected to the probe. This allows the Probe Configuration
Utility or Data Exchange to remotely connect to the probe.
The uptime is counted from the beginning of the upload
– for example, if the upload is at 12.00pm,
takes one minute, and the Dial-in Uptime is set to 5 minutes, RCM can connect remotely to the probe
between 12.01 and 12.05, although attempting to connect very near the beginning or the end of the
dial-in interval may fail.
If Dial-in is changed or disabled (Uptime set to 0) while connected remotely, this will not take effect until
after the Probe Configuration Utility is disconnected.
For information on how to dial into a probe, see the RCM Help file.
Note:
if the upload takes longer than the Uptime, the Dial-in functionality will not be
activated.
6. To complete the
Destination URL
field, click on the
Edit
button and enter in the FTP server details.
Alternatively, the full URL can be typed in without going into Edit. The format of the URL is:
ftp://<user name>:<password>@<host/Internet address>/<url-path>
Your FTP server administrator should provide this information. If the URL is blank the upload process is
disabled. For more information, see the section
Hosting Set-up and Recommendations
Figure 27 Edit screen
7. Set the
Connection Timeout
. This is the maximum time (in seconds) allowed from the start of an
upload until communications with the FTP server are established. If this time is exceeded the upload
attempt is abandoned. The default of 60 seconds is generally sufficient. Altering the Network settings
may affect this.
8. Set the
Response Timeout
. This is the maximum time in seconds before the probe abandons waiting
for a reply confirming that data has been transferred to the server. The default of 30 seconds is
generally sufficient, but some connections (e.g. slow server responses) may require a larger value.
9. Set the
Baud Rate
and
Parity
to match the modem port communication settings. GPRS and NextG
Modems supplied by Sentek are preconfigured to the default of 9600 baud and no parity, the probe
settings must match this for them to communicate with each other.
10. Press the
Delete Readings
button to delete any unwanted data that may have been recorded before
the probe was installed.
