using a personal identification number (PIN). You will find this number in the
package that you got from your cellular service provider.
Before you can activate your card, the A733GSM/GPRS must be properly

best way to do this is to attach the solar panel to the power connector and expose
the RTU to the sunlight for at least one hour. If the sky is overcast the battery will

1. Connect the serial cable from the COM port of your PC to the RTU. Configure
2. Make sure that you can communicate with the RTU by pressing the enter key:
