POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
NEW AND EXISTING INSTALLATIONS
The VFG9000-CEL option card draws all of its power from the main board
of the Fieldbus Gateway. The specifications of the Fieldbus Gateway account
for the power needs of an option card.
CONFIGURING A VFG9000-CEL OPTION CARD
The VFG9000-CEL is configured using Fieldbus Gateway Manager software.
Updates to the software for new features and drivers are posted on the website
as they become available. By configuring the VFG9000-CEL using the latest
version of the software, you are assured that your unit has the most up to date
feature set. Fieldbus Gateway Manager software can configure the VFG9000-
CEL through the option card selection. After choosing the Cellular Modem
option card, it is set up as a PPP Modem client, PPP Modem server or SMS via
GSM Modem.
All VFG9000-CEL option cards are configured to US GSM/GPRS frequency
band (850/1900 MHz) by default. During setup of the Cellular Modem Option
card, the appropriate GSM/GPRS frequency band must be chosen depending on
the geographical location of the Fieldbus Gateway. Once the option card is
configured through Fieldbus Gateway Manager software, it needs to be
downloaded to the Fieldbus Gateway. The Fieldbus Gateway with the
VFG9000-CEL option card needs to be power cycled for the configuration
changes with respect to the GSM/GPRS frequency band to take effect.
Additional information can be found in your Fieldbus Gateway hardware
bulletin and the Fieldbus Gateway Manager user manual.
SIM CARD INSTALLATION & DETAILS
A SIM Card has to be installed on the VFG9000-CEL option card before
installing the option card in the Fieldbus Gateway.
