Page 4: Basic Description Pcu-100 With Gsm Module
The extension module to the PCU-100 enables connection and sending of measured data to the server www.dinel.cloud, where this data is available from the Internet and where the data can be displayed in the form of graphs, tables and other graphic elements in the form of widgets (see chapter 6. Web interface dinel.cloud, page 10). -
Page 5: Sim Card
The SIM card for this module has been selected in the mini-SIM format for more convenient handling and longer connector life. FIG. 1: The correct type of SIM card - mini SIM After inserting the SIM card, it is necessary to set the access point name (APN). By default, the APN is set to "Internet", the user name and password are not used. This setting works in most countries. If your operator uses another APN to connect to the Internet for regular users, or you require a connection to private APNs, you must set this name and, if necessary, add a username and password. After connecting to the APN, the PCU-100 must have access to the www.dinel.cloud server. This is important if you use private APNs, where you may need to allow additional access. For successful communication between the PCU-100 and the dinel.cloud server, it is necessary to enable access for HTTPS (TCP / IP, port 443). © Dinel, s.r.o. PCU–100... -
