Chapter Four CONFIGURATION
Configuration of the 605M-D1 modem is performed using the AT Command set. ELPRO provides a configuration
utility to simplify the configuration of modems operating in Automatic Connect mode.. A simple and intuitive interface
allows easy selection of the required functionality, then the configuration utility sends the AT commands to the
modem to set up the requested configuration.
4.1 Configuration using Configuration Utility Software
The configuration utility allows you to
configure the modem for operation in
Automatic Connect mode. The
configuration utility is available on the CD
supplied with your modem, or the latest
version may be downloaded from ELPRO’s
web-Site (www.elprotech.com). To install,
download the file “inst_605M-D1_v1-0.exe”
and run this file.
The following sections describe how to use
the configuration utility.
The configuration software allows for the
easy setup and configuration of ELPRO’s
605M-D1. It is Microsoft Windows based
software that lets a user easily configure the
modem without the need to remember
complex AT command sequences.
The configuration software also enables a
user to save/read configuration data to a file
which can be used for quick backup or mass
deployment of the 605M-D1 modem settings.
Another handy feature of the configuration
software is that it comes with a built-in
terminal emulator which eliminates the need
to use external terminal software. It is
especially useful for people who want to use advanced AT command set for configuring the modem and provides a
unified compact solution.
The configuration software allows for redundant connection setup where the 605M-D1 modems can connect to a
secondary address in case the primary becomes unavailable. This feature is especially useful in high availability
scenarios.
In addition to the easy to use GUI for configuring the 605M-D1 modems, the configuration software also enables the
user to get advanced diagnostics information like signal strength, available providers, IMEI number, SIM PIN status
etc.
