Figure 21—Removing and reconnecting a WiFi network
GSM Setup
GSM modems plug directly into the USB port on the front of the Mote. The modems should be “plug-
and-play” with the correct modem and a suitable SIM card. As with setting up the WiFi network, you
must connect to the Mote using a Windows 10 device with a USB cable.
Press ATTN to force a status message to be sent via GSM. Hold the ATTN button down until the
Network light flashes green.
Mobile Network Provider
You must inform Wildlife Computers of the chosen mobile network provider for the Mote installation
area prior to manufacturing. The correct GSM modem can then be selected and set up. The current
mobile network is shown and can be changed on the Mote Configuration page under Mote Settings.
SIM Card
The Mote purchaser must provide the SIM card for installation in the Mote modem. A 1 GB per month
plan has proven sufficient for Mote data.
Operation
When the GSM modem is plugged into the USB port, the Network LED on the Mote will flash red until
a network connection is established. Once a connection is established the Network LED will flash
green. Once data has been sent, the LED will be extinguished.
Note: the modem will only push data to the Wildlife Computers Portal when there is new data to
send. It is recommended that you test the GSM modem connection when the system is pre-
assembled before heading to the Mote site.
