Arctic GPRS Gateway 25 Viola Systems Ltd.
Application Menu
Application menu contains the serial device server application. With this application serial devices can
be connected to the Arctic Gateway and used over the TCP/IP network.
Serial GW
Serial gateway can be enabled from this menu. When enabled in “Server” operation mode, TCP/IP (or
UDP) connections can be made to the Arctic (Local Server Port). When Serial GW is in “Client”
operation mode, Arctic Gateway sends the received serial data via TCP/IP to host (Remote IP
Address or host) to remote host (Remote Port).
If only one serial device is connected to Serial GW, RS2 serial port is used. RS2 serial port can be
used either as an RS-232 or an RS-485 type port. If two serial devices are needed, the console (RS1)
port can be enabled when console switch is set to “0”.
For example, a device connected to an Arctic GW application (when in server operation mode) serial
port could be accessed with telnet utility as follows:
telnet <Arctic IP Address> 2404
Tools Menu
The Tools menu provides the access to web based tools used for troubleshooting with the Arctic. It is
possible to execute simple shell commands through the Web console. Also GPRS information can be
obtained from “Modem Info” menu.
Default settings
Arctic may be set to factory default settings from the Tools menu. This restores factory settings
excluding network settings.
