1.4 Text message commands
There are several commands to the GPRS-box, which can be sent to the GPRS-box by
text message. The text message must consist of the following 3 parameters divided by
a space:
<Password> <Text message command> <value>
If you leave out <value> GPRS-box will reply with the value it is programmed with.
More than one command can be sent in the same text message, you only have to write
<password> in the first line of commands:
<Password> <Text message command> <value>
<Text message command> <value>
<Text message command> <value>
<Password> has the default setting dokfaw.

1.5 Status diodes and ON/OFF button
At one end of the GPRS-box there are two status diodes which show the status of the
GPRS-box. To the right of the 2 status diodes there is a little push-button which can be
activated by a pencil.

been possible to send data to WebMon
Turned off
The module is either turned off, in sleep-
mode or waiting for the next program run
After 3 – 5 minutes the GPRS-box will turn off the status diodes partly to save power
and partly to avoid drawing attention to the box if it is installed at a public place. With a
short pressure (under 1 sec.) at the button right to the status diodes you can reactivate
the diodes, and the status of the GPRS-box will be shown again. If the short pressure
does not reactivate on the status diodes, it means that the GPRS-box is turned off or
that there is no power to the box.
The GPRS-box will automatically start up when power is connected.

2. SIM-card
2.1 Demands to the SIM-card
The SIM-card must uphold the following standards: GSM/GPRS/SMS. The PIN-code
must be switched off.
Attention: If using Danish SIM-card abroad, then make sure that the country’s
telephone operator supports GPRS-roaming.
2.2 Installation of SIM-card
The GPRS unit can be order with the SIM-card installed at delivery. Please control that
the card is installed.
Brunata a/s can not be held liable for theft and misuse of the SIM-card.
If the unit is delivered without a SIM-card, the SIM-card must be installed before the
unit is used. The GPRS-box is opened by removing the four screws from the lid. Hereaf-
ter the SIM-card is inserted with the “cut-off” corner in the upper right-hand side and
the chip facing down towards the print.
Remember to write down the telephone number in the table “Telephone number” (see
paragraph 1.1).
When the SIM-card is installed and the GPRS-box is closed the power is turned on (see
paragraph 1.3) Check the green diode, if it is flashing, the GPRS-box is connected with
the GSM-net.

2. SIM-kort
2.1 Krav til SIM-kort
SIM-kortet skal opfylde følgende krav:
GSM/GPRS/SMS. PIN kode skal være slået fra.
Husk: ved brug af dansk SIM-kort i udlandet, skal det pågældende lands telefonoperatør
understøtte GPRS roaming.
2.2 Montering af SIM-kort
Enheden kan bestilles med SIM-kort monteret ved levering. Kontroller, at kortet er sat i.
Brunata A/S kan ikke gøres ansvarlig for tyveri og misbrug af SIM-kort.
Såfremt enheden er leveret uden SIM-kort, skal et sådant sættes i inden enheden tages i
brug. GPRS-boksen åbnes ved at fjerne de fire skruer i låget. Herefter sættes SIM-kortet i
med det “afklippede” hjørne i øverste højre side og chippen vendt ned mod printet. Husk at
notere telefonnummeret i rubrikken ”Telefonnummer” (se afsnit 1.1). Efter at SIM kortet er
korrekt indsat og GPRS-boksen er lukket, tændes der for GPRS-boksen (se afsnit 1.5) Kig
på den grønne lysdiode for at se om GPRS-boksen kommer på GSM-nettet.

Når GPRS-boksen er tændt: skal APN, login og password sættes op så det virker sammen
med SIM-kortets operatør. Her er der vist et eksempel fra Holland.
Dette gøres ved at sende nogle SMS-kommandoer til GPRS-boksen:

When the GPRS-box is on, the APN, log-in and pass-word must be installed so it cor-
responds with the operator of the SIM-card.
It is done by sending a text massage to the GPRS-box. Below is shown an example from
the Netherlands.

When the GPRS-box has send data to the server please control, that the GPRS compo-
nents are received in WebMon.

3.2 Placement of the GPRS-box
The GPRS-box must be installed at place where there is at good connection to the GSM-
net. This is achieved by observing the following rules:
• Theboxshouldalwaysbeplacedasfaraway
from a corner as possible. Never closer than 30
cm. There will be a significant improvement of
reception conditions if the GPRS-box is moved
from 30 cm to 50 cm away from the corner. If
moved further than 50 cm the improvement
in reception conditions will not be essentially
better.

3.3 Placement of the RM485FM radio receivers
The radio receivers must be placed in a way so that they can receive radio telegrams in
the best possible way. This is achieved by observing the following rules:
• Theboxshouldalwaysbeplacedasfarawayfromacorneraspossible.Nevercloser
than 30 cm. There will be a significant improvement of reception conditions if the
radio receiver is moved from 30 cm to 50 cm away from the corner. If moved further
than 50 cm the improvement in reception conditions will not be essentially better.

3.4 Fitting of cables
The Brunata RS485-net cable consist of 4 conductors with the colours: Red, black,
green and yellow.
In all the components to the net, a label showing how to connect the different conduc-
tors is attached next to the LSA-connector.
The conductors have to be fitted to the LSA-connector so the conductor is turned
towards the cutting edge on the LSA-connector.

4. Control and registration installation
4.1 What does the control consist of?
After the network has been installed it is tested to se if it works. The test consists of
two parts:
• HastheGPRS-boxfounditsreceivers?
• CantheGPRS-boxsenddatatoBrunatadatabases?
4.2 Has the GPRS-box found all the receivers?
By sending at text message command to the GPRS-box you can find out if the GPRS-box
has found all the receivers in the network.

…etc.
4.3 Can the GPRS-box send data to the Brunata database?
The power to the power supply is turned off and on again. Control the status diodes, to
see if they are flashing in the correct order, as shown in paragraphs 1.5 and 1.6.
If the yellow diode is flashing at the end of the program, the GPRS-box has not been
able to send data to the Oracle-server at Brunata a/s. This can either be caused by the
fact that the GPRS-box has no connection to the receivers, or because the GPRS-box
can not connect to the GPRS Network.
4.4 Registration of components in the network.
In order to monitor the network it is very important to register all the components in
the network. In the form “BrunataNet component list” the ID numbers of the GPRS-
box, the receivers and where they are placed in the building are noted. At the back of
the form, if necessary, a drawing of the composition of the network can be drawn.
The form is given to your local department and they will make sure that the component
data are punched into WebMon.
