3.5 Recommended Deployment Procedure
Obtain and install the SIM card from your preferred service provider.
Connect an antenna and power supply to the iCE
3
Using a standard cable (see Section 7.1 for details); connect a computer with a suitable terminal
program such as HyperTerminal®.
Configure the iCE
3
completely before taking it into the field for installation. Use the typical
configuration examples below as a guide.
If used in conjunction with HydroTel™, configure the station and site in HydroTel for the installation,
including the chosen communication address. This must match the address in the iCE
3
if it is to be
used in scheduled (call-in) mode. (AT^IACE=2)
Test it on-line. If necessary use the AT^IGOL command to force a connection if the auto-connection
mode is not set to continuous (AT^IACE=1)
Take the iCE
3
to site and install it. Take a suitable computer (laptop) and standard cable to allow
testing and further configuration on-site if needed. If required, check the signal strength by either
issuing the command AT+CSQ which is a standard Hayes command to read the received signal
strength indication. (RSSI). For repeated automatic measurements, use the command AT^INFO=1.
See Section 6.3.11 for more details on this command.
If the iCE
3
will be used in scheduled connection mode (by using the AT^IACE=2 command), the final
step is to set the internal clock. Use the standard cable and terminal program on the computer to set
this. See Section 3.4 above for information on using the clock command, AT^ICLK.
Finally, make sure the correct cable is securely connected to the host device.
If possible check that the system works end to end.
3.6 Typical Configuration Examples
The examples show the configuration listing that would be obtained by using the AT^IDAS? command.
