Operating the Serial GSM Gateway
The Serial GSM Gateway is designed as a set and forget device. Its primary purpose is to allow the customer
to gain access to the attached external serial devices when a failure has occurred in the main communications
link or normal access routes to their equipment.
The Serial GSM Gateway is a troubleshooting tool intended to allow the customer to perform analysis into the
possible cause of their failure. This could range from a main communications link failure, to an increase in
temperature or loss of mains power to name but a few. If configured correctly the Serial GSM Gateway
can alert the customer when conditions such as those mentioned occur and may assist in shortening the
overall impact of the failure.
