3.17 Communication
The third section, named Communication, allows to change the Schedule
section
for FTP and Schedule for SMS settings accordingly to your work
The first frame Schedule for FTP is in the following way:
- in the part Time, you have to decide when the modem has to be switched
ON and send data to the FTP server
- in the part Stand By, you have to decide for how many quarters of hours,
starting from the hours of switching ON, the modem has to stay in stand by
and try to send all data
- in the part Every, you have to decide the interval, expressed in hours, from
every switching ON
The above example shows that the station modem will switch ON for an FTP
connection to the server at 12:05, it will stay ON for 15 minutes (1 quarter).
Every 6 hours the loop will be repeated so that the modem will switch ON, and
the station will download its data at 12:05, 18:05, 00:05, 06:05 every day.
So frequent connections are set for test purpose only, if the parameter Every
(Hours) was set to 01 the station downloaded its data every hour.
To avoid affecting the energy balance between solar panel, back up
battery and station consumption we recommend to set the modem to
switch on only once a day, better during day time, for 1 quarter (15
minutes). This configuration assures station power autonomy even
during long bad weather periods when the solar radiation could be not
enough to supply the station modem for longer time.
