7 Setup

PLICSMOBILE T61 • External GSM/GPRS radio unit

37700-EN-130228

7.4 Mobile network and SIM card

An activated SIM card with data transmission option is required for

setup.

Information:

The SIM card does not belong to the scope of delivery of the instru-

ment and must be provided by the respective operator. To avoid

roaming costs, the card should be bought in the country in which the

PLICSMOBILE T61 is installed and operated.

Dial-in connections on PLICSMOBILE are only possible if the SIM

card used supports the data service CSD (Circuit Switched Data).

Dial-in connections are used for remote parameter adjustment. The

use of GPRS is not possible.

Note:

When the power saving mode is activated in PLICSMOBILE, it cannot

be contacted by a dial-in connection during the inactive time. During

the active time (during a data transmission), incoming dial-in connec-

tions are accepted and maintained independent of the power saving

mode until the dial-in connection is terminated.

Data connections (Dial-Out) from PLICSMOBILE can be optionally

established via GPRS (volume-based billing) or a dial-up connection

(CSD, time-based billing). The transmission mode can be selected

when setting up via PACTware and DTM. Outgoing connections are

used for measured value transmission via E-mail/SMS/WEB-VV.

The data transmission can be either carried out via CSD but also

via GPRS. The availability of GPRS at the location of PLICSMOBILE

depends on the respective mobile network provider. With CSD, the

transmission costs are calculated by means of the required time.

With GPRS, the calculation is made according to the transmitted data

volume. For this, the data transmission should be always carried out

via GPRS, if possible.

When transmitting the measured value via e-mail or WEB-VV, ap-

proximately 5 KB data are transmitted. For example with an hourly

transmission this will cause a monthly net data volume of totally ap-

proximately 4 MB.

out a so called block rounding. When checking out of the GPRS net-

work billing units are rounded. Since the PLICSMOBILE checks out

of the GPRS network after transmission of each message provided

the energy saving mode is activated, this block rounding is applied

100 KB is used, then an hourly measured value transmission causes

a monthly billing volume of more than 70 MB. Select therefore a pure

Insert the card with the beveled side in front into the card slot until it

snaps in. The contact surface must point downward.
