8.2.2. Further Data Handling Options
In addition to the EasyGate memory, settings can be saved in a PC file and reloaded
into the PCManager. This is recommended for backing up of current configurations or
saving the same configuration in another EasyGate unit.
Caution! The table Security includes the PIN code and service password. These
parameters have a special handling. They are not saved in a PC file for security
reasons. If you load a PC file into the PCManager and then into EasyGate, the PIN and
service password should not change unless you change them manually before saving.
Caution! All tables are filled-in with default values after PCManager start. It is
recommended to load data from EasyGate before parameters programming and saving.
If you only save data after PCManager start, all parameters except the PIN and service
password in the EasyGate memory will have default values.
Caution! The PIN and service password can only be modified either manually or by
full initialization.
8.2.3. Upgrade
The manufacturer responds to clients' requirements with periodical firmware
updating. The current EasyGate firmware, PCManager and User Manual are available
on www.2n.cz. The latest firmware version is always included in every new PCManager
installation.
Upgrading procedure:
1. Run the PCManager, select the language for displaying texts on the right-hand side.
2. Click on the CD-ROM icon for data handling on the left-hand side.
3. Click on the upgrade – if EasyGate is not in its special programming mode, you are
invited to switch EasyGate off and on again.
4. The upgrade takes place automatically. Do not switch your PC or EasyGate off
during the process of upgrading!
Caution! The PCManager checks the software version in EasyGate and the upgrade
file. If the version in the file is new, everything is all right. An identical or earlier software
version is stored in EasyGate too but the PCManager requires confirmation to be on the
safe side.
Caution! With regard to potential EasyGate memory data structure change, the
PCManager and EasyGate are "matched" according to versions. A PCManager version
can be used for EasyGate programming that differs from the EasyGate version by a
letter following the version number (e.g.1.00A). The PCManager itself identifies this fact
and notifies you.
8.2.4. Monitoring
Monitoring is active when EasyGate is in operation and registered to the GSM
network. If EasyGate is not registered to GSM, the COM is locked and no monitoring
can be made.
This simple informative function helps you identify:
• The GSM module type and IMEI ID;
• The SIM card IMSI ID and selected SMS service centre necessary for SMS
sending;
