Comms Test

The Comms Test sub-menu allows IPS maintenance staff to test the SSPM's ability to communicate, by forcing it to “call-in” to the DMS.

This test verifies that the SSPM can successfully communicate with the DMS, and updates the internal clock and available firmware / con-

figurations.

At the Comms Test sub-menu, press √ OK to Start the communications test. The SSPM tests its communications through GSM, and then

through GPRS.

Note: Once this communications test is initiated, do not press another button until the entire test is complete. Pressing any button during the

communications test immediately interrupts it, and it does not finish.

A typical communications test steps through the following screens:

1. Press 'OK' to Start

2. GSM Starting

3. GSM Idle

4. GSM OFF

5. GPRS Connected

6. Switching OFF
