Commissioning the logger

3 Commissioning the logger

3.1 Preparations for mobile communication

If your data logger is equipped with an internal GSM modem for mobile radio

communication, alarm messages and status messages can be sent via e-mail or SMS.

Furthermore, collected data can be transferred to an FTP server. From there they can

be downloaded with any Internet-capable computer anywhere in the world.

For data transfer via mobile radio you have to close a suitable contract with a mobile

phone service provider, in order to get a SIM card enabled for data transfer via

UMTS / GPRS.

For measuring data uploads, free memory space on an FTP server is needed. You can

ask your administrator to set up an FTP server using the server infrastructure of your

company or you can rent a server from a commercial internet service provider.

You can also rent FTP space from SebaKMT. Please contact your SebaKMT distributor.

Under certain conditions the demo server run by SebaKMT can be used.

If you wish to receive alarm messages or status messages via e-mail, an e-mail account

is needed from which the messages are to be sent. If the mail server of your company is

not capable for this task (e.g. due to a firewall), a webmail account from an internet

service provider (e.g. Yahoo or Google) can be used instead.

Under certain conditions the demo account run by SebaKMT can be used.

Please note that the mobile radio link function increases the loggers’ energy

demand, which has a strong negative influence on the battery life of the logger.

3.2 Preparing the logger for GSM

In order to prepare the logger for GSM connectivity, the SIM card you received from

your mobile operator has to be inserted and the GSM antenna must be connected.

Proceed as follows:

Step

Description

Loosen the six screws and remove the cover of the device.

Result: Inside the housing you have access to the batteries and SIM card slot.

NOTE

Please be careful not to damage any parts. Don't use any force.

To remove the tray for the SIM card from its fastener, press the yellow spring

mechanism (see picture), e.g. by the help of a screwdriver or a pen. Remove the

tray and place the SIM card on it so it fits. Then push the tray back into the

bracket until it locks into place.
