Function
1:
manually
The network parameterized under "Preferred network provider" is specified here.
If it is not possible to log on to this network with the SIM card inserted, the
modem is switched off and an error message is displayed in the connection
status.
4:
man. first
The modem tries to log in to the network specified under "Preferred network
provider". If this is not possible, however, the modem is not switched off, but a
new logon attempt is started, in which the network selection is left to the modem
(analogous to mode 0: auto). If this logon attempt is also unsuccessful, the
modem is switched off and a corresponding error message is displayed in the
connection status.

The mode "1: manual" should only be selected if it is certain that
1. the 'preferred network operator' is also authorized by the mobile operator which
provided the SIM cards with the 'national roaming' option
and
there is also sufficient coverage (i.e. receiving field strength) at the measuring

point for the preferred network.
For these reasons, this mode can only be selected via the optical interface and keyboard and
should only be selected after the volume corrector has been installed on site. After selecting this
mode, it is strongly recommended to open a (test) time window to check whether the modem was
able to log into the parameterized network
8.1.6 TCPserv operation (GPRS)
In this modem operating mode, you can access the EK205-M via the network (TCP/IP), to which
your retrieval system is connected, i.e., you do not require an additional retrieval system modem.
Data transfer is normally faster than with GSM operation, (as explained in section 8.1.4)
Here the GPRS Modem in the EK205-M functions as a TCP-Server and may be addressed by a
TCP client that is listed in its readout software through a static IP address. To allocate a static IP
to the modem during the setup of the GPRS session, they must (together with their network
provider) maintain a virtual private network (VPN) which must be enabled on the SIM used in the
modem.
8.1.6.1 Parameterization
i
For parameterization of the EK205-M you need a connection cable for the optical
interface as well as the enSuite program. enSuite can be downloaded free of charge
from the Honeywell website in the "Software Downloads" section:
a) Closing the time windows
In order that the parameterization works correctly the time windows 1 to 4 must be closed. To do
this:
Connect a PC or laptop with enSuite installed to the EK205-M optical interface using the connection
cable.
Start enSuite and set up the communication link to the EK205-M over the optical interface.
