Data Connection - Seneca MyALARM2 Series User Manual

USER MANUAL - MyALARM2 SERIES
Please remember that mobile phone service providers also consider the entire communication
that permits file transmission (and thus data transmission overhead, the number of connection
attempts, etc.) and not just the dimensions as data traffic in each GPRS transaction.

9. DATA CONNECTION

Data connection is required to:
-Send log files via FTP or email
-Send alarms via email
-Synchronise the clock
For SMS and audio function use only, data connection cannot be used.
An APN (Access Point Name) that represents the gateway to access the internet must be entered
for data connections.
At the end of each data operation (alarm send or log send) the connection is disconnected and
only reconnected when necessary to minimize connection time.
ATTENTION!
-Before activating the data services, check the service costs offered by the mobile provider.
-Some internet connection offers are tied to a specific APN. Contact your mobile provider for
further information.
-If internal clock synchronisation is set (except when the GPS option is selected) an APN must be
entered since the synchronised date/time is obtained via internet connection.
-Mobile providers usually give data lower priority than voice calls. This means that the
connection could be suddenly interrupted at any time due to voice traffic congestion on a
specific cell. These connection attempts should also be considered when calculating data traffic
costs.
