GPRS Settings
:
This defines the various settings for
successfully opening a GPRS connection.
GPRS settings differ between mobile service
providers around the world (refer to Appendix 3
for a non exhaustive list). Please consult your
service provider for the proper GPRS settings.
Access Point Name: This is the default GPRS
internet access point name of your mobile
service provider.
GPRS User ID: This is the User ID to be used
for the GPRS connection.
GPRS Password: This is the password to be
used for the GPRS connection.
IP Address: This can be used to define an IP
address for your GPRS connection. The default
value is 0.0.0.0 which indicates that the 605M-
D1 modem will get a dynamic IP from the
service provider. This is an advanced setting
and does not need to be changed. You will only
change this if you have a static public IP
assignment from your service provider.
Socket Settings
:
These are the settings needed to successfully
establish a TCP socket connection with the end
device. The 605M-D1 is designed to work best
with a 605M-R1 GSM/GPRS Router. All the
605M-D1 modems connect to the TCP port of
605M-R1 router over the GPRS network, which is
then responsible for intelligently routing data
between the modems (Please refer to Appendix 2
for connection scenarios).
Primary Host Address: Enter the IP address or
domain name of the primary device the 605M-D1
modem will connect to.
Primary TCP Port Number: Enter the TCP port
number of the primary device the 605M-D1
modem will connect to.
Enable Secondary Address: Check this box if
you have a secondary device for the 605M-D1
modems to connect to incase the primary is
unavailable. This provides redundancy in high
availability scenario for continued operation.
Secondary Host Address: Similar to primary this
defines the secondary host IP address or domain
name when the secondary address is enabled.
Secondary TCP Port Number: Similar to primary this defines the secondary TCP port number when the secondary
address is enabled.
Primary/Secondary Address Retry: This defines the number of times the primary and secondary addresses will be
tried before the modem decides that something is wrong and sends out a warning SMS to operators. Default value is
3. You can increase this to a higher value. However, please note that no warning SMS will be sent out till it has tried
that number of times. A better option is to use a moderate value in conjunction with “Remote SMS Reboot”, and/or
“Total Number of SMS sent” discussed later.
