Page 14: Operation
5. OPERATION EPX400-xC device is able to transmit data via channel over GSM network, via GPRS, via SMS messages and via Ethernet. Communication mode is configurable – see chapter 8. Programmable parameters for more information. As a result the transmitter may be used only at the territory covered with mobile phone operator network or with wired Ethernet network. -
Page 15: Pre-Configuration Via Ethernet Port
6. PRE-CONFIGURATION VIA ETHERNET PORT To enable the EPX400 to communicate properly, you need to provide basic server connection parameters. The simplest way to do this is via the built-in web server WWW. To access the server, connect the EPX400 using an Ethernet cable to a PC that has an RJ-45 Ethernet port and a web browser. -
