Configuring The 8000 Gprs Cradle - CipherLab 8000 GPRS Cradle Reference Manual

CONFIGURING THE 8000 GPRS CRADLE

For deployment engineers, you can download the utility "8000DeployGPRS.shx" to your
mobile computer, and then use it to deploy a set of standard settings to the cradles, as
well as perform light functionality testing.
1) Run one of the CipherLab download utilities on your desktop computer, for example,
"ProgLoad.exe". Choose the correct interface, COM port, baud rate, file type, and
browse the file system to locate the utility "8000DeployGPRS.shx".
2) Press [8]+[Power] on the mobile computer to turn it on and access the Program
Manager menu.
You may download the program directly to the active memory sector "AC", or to an
empty sector and activate the program later. Choose the correct interface and baud
rate that match the settings on your desktop computer.
3) Upon completion of the download process, you will have to activate the program if it
is downloaded to an empty sector.
4) The utility "8000DeployGPRS.shx" will start itself in a few seconds.
5) Go to 1. Settings > 2. Configure to configure GPRS settings, such as PIN code,
name of access point, etc.
Note: You must input the correct PIN code even though authentication is disabled!
You can check all these settings via 1. Settings > 1. Information.
Go through the following steps on each cradle.
6) Screw the antenna to the cradle.
7) Connect the power supply cord to a suitable power outlet.
Note: The cradle's LED will be red (see LED 1). The LEDs of Tx/Rx and Link will flash by
turns at the time interval of 0.25 seconds for about 30 seconds, indicating the
cradle is in initialization process. Then, the LED of Tx/Rx will flash, indicating
initialization failed due to lack of SIM card. Ignore it.
8) Seat the mobile computer in the cradle.
