 PIN
If your SIM has a PIN set then you will need to tell the DT80 what it is. Enter it into the SIM PIN field on the modem
configuration page in dEX, or send the following profile command to the logger directly:
PROFILE MODEM PIN=pin
If this profile is not set correctly when you first attempt to use the modem, then the DT80 will prompt for entry of the PIN
on the LCD display. Use the Up and Down arrow keys to set each digit's value, and use the Left and Right arrows to
move between digits. Press OK/Edit when done. Alternatively, use the PROFILE command as above to set the PIN.
If the SIM does not have a PIN set then you can ignore this setting and the DT80 will not prompt for PIN.
If the PIN was entered correctly then the DT80 will remember it, so it normally only needs to be entered once.
Note: If an incorrect PIN is entered three times then the SIM will be locked. If this occurs then the DT80 will prompt for entry of a PIN
Unlock Key (PUK). This 8-digit number must be obtained from your mobile carrier and should be entered using the keypad in the same
way as the PIN. It is not possible to enter the PUK code in dEX.
 SMS Only Mode
If you only intend to use the integrated modem to send SMS messages (no Internet access) then the following profile
should be set:
PROFILE MODEM SMS_ONLY=YES
In dEX, select the SMS only option on the modem configuration page. No further configuration is then required.
 APN
In order for the DT80 to connect to the Internet using the integrated modem, it is necessary to enter the Access Point
Name, as specified by your mobile carrier. The APN is a text string that looks vaguely like an Internet address e.g.
vfinternet.au or telstra.internet. In some cases an account name and password may also be required – if not then
those two settings can be left blank. The relevant profile settings are:
PROFILE MODEM APN=APN
PROFILE MODEM APN_ACCOUNT=account name
PROFILE MODEM APN_PASSWORD=password
In dEX, select the Manual option on the modem configuration page and enter the APN (and username/password if
required).
 Modem Email
If you require the DT80 to send email messages then a suitable email server must be specified. If email is not required
then the settings described in this section can be ignored.
If your mobile carrier provides access to an SMTP (email) server then it is normally simplest to use it. There is generally
only one setting to configure, the name of the server, which is typically something like mail.mycarrier.com. Set the
server using the following profile:
PROFILE MODEM_SESSION SMTP_SERVER=server name
It is possible that your carrier may also require an email username and password (which may or may not be the same as
the account password mentioned above), which is specified as follows:
PROFILE MODEM_SESSION SMTP_ACCOUNT=email account name
PROFILE MODEM_SESSION SMTP_PASSWORD=password
If your mobile carrier does not provide access to an SMTP server then it will be necessary to sign up for an account with
a third party email provider. Once your account has been created you will need to enter the server name, account name
and password, as above.
Note: When selecting a third-party email provider, be sure that it meets the requirements specified in Support for DT80 Network
Features (P209)
above.
If a third-party email provider is used, it is normally a requirement that the RETURN_ADDRESS profile be set to the email
address associated with your account.
You can also specify the sender name and email address that the DT80 will use when sending email. For example:
PROFILE MODEM_SESSION SENDER_NAME="Peter Rabbit"
PROFILE MODEM_SESSION RETURN_ADDRESS=[e-mail]
If SENDER_NAME is not set then the DT80 model and serial number is used, e.g. "DT82EM-3 096605".
In dEX, email settings are configured using the modem email configuration page:
