If the SIM card is protected by a
PIN code
, you must enter it in the field. Otherwise, just leave it
blank.
The mobile communication interface offers two types of service, which are completely different and
independent: the SMS and the data traffic.
The
SMS
(Short Message Service) is well known in the GSM networks. The telephone number of
the
Center number
(= "SMS service center") is needed to send an SMS. Most of the time, this
information is already present in the SIM card and shown here. If this is the case you can leave this
field untouched. However, if sending the SMS with the test button fails, you may need to enter a
valid number in this field. This number is provided with your SIM card documentation.
If you are not sure if the settings are correct or if the service is working properly, you may send
yourself an SMS using the
Check SMS sending
button.
In the
Data Network
section, the settings regarding the network connection are present. The
module inside the MR3000C allows you to send data with 2G or 3G connection. If you wish to
enable the 2G/3G connection, click on the
Enabled
box. You also have to enter the
Access point
name
, which is provided with your SIM card documentation. Certain GSM providers require a
Username
and a
Password
. You can also choose to allow roaming and to choose if the mobile
connection is the preferred default internet access.
If the 3G module is enabled, the MR has access to the Internet. If you enabled the GPRS service, it
enables automatically the SMS service.
The last section is dedicated to
Data network watchdog
. This functionality allows to check the
connection through GPRS in the interval desired by the user (
Interval in hours
), trying to ping the
address written in
Host to ping
. In case the connection is no moreover active, then the GPRS
module is rebooted.
