Intercall idle time (s):
This parameter allows is used to specify the length of time (in seconds) that the router will wait
after hanging-up the wireless module before initiating another call attempt.
Link retries:
The router will normally make multiple attempts to connect to the wireless network in the
event that the signal is lost. In some cases, this can result in a “lock-up” situation where the
wireless network is unable to attach the wireless device due to the multiple attempts. The Link
retries parameter specifies the number of attempts at connection that the unit should make
before power cycling the internal wireless module. Power cycling the wireless module forces it
to re-register and reattach to the network. The default setting of 10 is the recommended value.
Setting this parameter to 0 will prevent the router from power cycling the wireless module if it
cannot obtain an IP address.
Status retries:
The router will periodically collect status information from the internal wireless module. This
information, which may be viewed on the Status > W-WAN web page, includes details of the
signal strength and network attachment status. As a safeguard against problems communicating
with the wireless module, the Status retries parameter may be used to specify the number of
unsuccessful attempts to retrieve status information from the wireless module before power
cycling it. The default setting of 30 is the recommended value. Setting this parameter to 0 will
prevent the router from power cycling the wireless module if it cannot read the wireless status
information.
Signal strength event interval (mins):
When configurered, the signal strength will be written to the eventlog every n minutes.
Minimum attach interval (secs):
The number of seconds between network attachment attempts, some networks require 60 sec-
onds between attempts to attach to the wireless network.
Power cycle on loss of registration:
This parameter controls whether the unit will power cycle the wireless module after the net-
work registration has been lost for 5 minutes. Setting this parameter to “Never” will never recy-
cle the wireless module, setting to “GSM only” will power cycle the module after 5 minutes loss
of GSM registration, and setting to “GPRS only” will power cycle the module after 5 minutes
loss of GPRS, 3G or HSPA registration.
SMS message centre:
This is the number of the SMS message centre (sometimes referred to as the Service Centre
Address), to be used to relay SMS messages or alarms. This number must include the interna-
tional dialling code, e.g. 44 for the UK, but not the “+” prefix or leading 0’s, e.g. 44802000332.
SMS alarms are generated when the SMS trigger priority is greater than 0 and an event of this
priority or higher occurs. SMS messages may be edited and sent using the Configure > SMS
Edit page.
If no number is specified it is possible that the unit will operate using the default message centre
for the GSM service to which you have subscribed.
SMS polling interval (mins):
This specifies the interval in minutes that the unit will wait in between checks for incoming SMS
messages. Setting this interval to 0 turns off checking.
SMS command caller ID:
This parameter specifies a number that is compared with the trailing digits of the SMS sender’s
phone number. If the numbers match, then the SMS text is treated as if it were a text command
being entered via one of the serial ports. If the parameter is left blank, SMS messages are logged
in the event log but are not treated as commands.
