6.3.6 FE260 GSM/GPRS version with ComFTP modem application

ComFTP is a program in the FE260 modem. It reads cyclically from the EK280 and transmits the data to an
enabled server.
Attention:
The ComFTP application will incur costs due to continuous data volume transmission via a mobile
network. Estimate adequate reserve for this. Talk to your provider to obtain an economical tariff.
Switching off roaming can also help to reduce costs. Optimization of these factors is your
responsibility.
Wireless networks can be disrupted, therefore one hundred percent data transfer cannot be
guaranteed in any case.
