CONFIGURATION TOOL
Installation
The Configuration Tool can be copied to any folder on a suitable PC’s hard drive. It consists
of only one file and does not need to be installed. Depending on your use of the tool there
may (over a period of time) be configuration files, with an etx extension, created and these
files can be saved in any location. The tool itself may create a single ini file, which should be
left in the same directory as the configuration tool for continued easy operation of the tool.
Using the Right Version of the Configuration Tool
When the unit starts up and is connected to a terminal window and Escape is pressed (see
below), please check that you have the correct version of the configuration tool. The current
version of the configuration tool is shown in the header (0702 being the relevant part in the
example below), the correct version for the unit is shown in the terminal window.
If you do not have the correct version of the configuration tool, contact ETM and request the
appropriate version or visit ETM’s website.
CAUTION
Do not try to
program/configure a unit
with the wrong version of
the configuration tool.
!

For Support Contact [phone], [e-mail] or [phone], [e-mail]
Using the Configuration Tool
When you power up the wireless modem to do any configuration you MUST follow these
steps if you are unfamiliar with the operation of the Configuration Tool:
1. Start the configuration tool.
2. Chose the correct communications port (using the Set COM Port button to select a port other
than the one chosen by the Configuration Tool) –ensure the port is set for a baud rate of
115200 (it must be at this speed to be programmed in ESC mode).
3. Confirm that the port opens (the indicator MUST show ‘OPEN’ for your chosen port).
4. Click on the Terminal tab.
5. Click into the terminal window so that you see a flashing cursor.
6. Power up DeltaBlack.
7. Immediately after powering up the modem press the ESC key on the keyboard, you should
only need to press it 3 or 4 times, after a short period you should see an ‘Escape Pressed’
message from the wireless modem –if you don’t and instead you see a ‘MS:^SYSSTART’
message then repeat the process again. Without the ‘Escape Pressed’ message being
displayed you CANNOT perform any configuration on the wireless modem (while it is possible
to use the Configuration Tool once the wireless modem has fully started up this may not be
possible if the wireless modem has not yet been fully configured).
8. NOTE: You can also check the tick-box ‘Send <ESC> on SYSTEM START’ (the Configuration
Tool to will automatically send an ESC character when it sees the SYSTEM START message)
in the bottom right hand corner of the Configuration Tool (but this doesn’t work with some USB
to Serial adapters) –if you check this remember to uncheck it again when you restart the
modem after any programming changes, otherwise you may inadvertently leave the modem in
programming mode rather than run mode.
9. You are now ready to use the configuration tool to make changes to the wireless modem.
10.Once you are familiar with the Configuration Tool you can shorten the procedure, if the wireless
modem is already live/working, by simply reading and writing the configuration without
restarting the wireless modem and pressing the ESC key. Note if any changes are made to the
modem you should power cycle or software reset (ET&SR) the modem to ensure that any new
mode of operation (based on your configuration changes) comes into effect. If you make no
changes, only reading the configuration, you do not need to restart the modem.
11.Settings can be saved to a file on your PC. If you need to configure another DeltaBlack with the
same settings this file can be loaded into the configuration tool and written to any additional
units that require the same settings.
Details regarding each tab in the configuration tool are provided in the following pages.
The following configuration examples are provided later in the user guide:
•Basic I/O Control
•Temperature Alarm

For Support Contact [phone], [e-mail] or [phone], [e-mail]
Saving, reading and writing configuration files
•To open an existing configuration file, select "File –Open".
•To save a configuration file, select "File –Save". This can be done after you have read an
existing configuration from the wireless modem, or when you have manually entered a
configuration.
•To read the current settings of the wireless modem, select "READ MEMORY" (the button
with blue text).
•To write the current settings of the configuration tool to the wireless modem, select "WRITE
MEMORY" (the button with red text).
•Note: You cannot perform a write operation if you have not opened an existing configuration
file or performed a read operation.
•The button "Com3 (115200): OPEN" can be used to control whether or not the
communications port is opened (you must have the communications port open to connect in
any way to the modem).
oThe port open/Close feature allows you to leave the configuration tool open but not
connected to the serial port, in case you need to use another communication
application.
oThe selected baud rate for the Com port is displayed in brackets when the port is
opened.
oTo set which port to use, click the button "Set COM Port".
•Note: If the unit is busy, a read or write may fail and a popup will inform you about the error.
This is usually because the unit is in normal/operational mode. You can retry the read or
write operation, but if it continues to fail then put the unit into programming/ESC mode (see
above).

GENERAL SETTINGS TAB
Phone number to SMS Alarm recipients
•Number 1-5 lists the recipients of the alarm messages. It is our recommendation that you
use the full international number in any entry, e.g. +4670xxxxxxx.
Analogue Values
•"Default (presented in mV)" –Analogue values, sent by TCP, UDP or SMS, are presented in
mV. The range of each analogue input is 0-2500 mV.
•"Scaled with calibrated values" –Analogue values, sent by TCP, UDP or SMS, are
presented as calibrated/scaled values. Refer to section on calibration for more details.
Unit ID added to messages
•If you select "Use SIM Card ID as Unit ID" the ID of the unit will be the ID of the SIM.

For Support Contact [phone], [e-mail] or [phone], [e-mail]
•If you select "Use IMEI number as Unit ID" the ID of the unit will be the network ID of the
wireless modem.
•If you want to enter a textual ID, enter it into the text box and leave the checkboxes
unchecked.
•You have 40 characters available and we suggest that you use the shortest practical ID
possible, as there are only 160 characters available in an SMS. If you use 40 characters for
the ID this leaves only 120 characters for the content of the SMS, which may limit the
information that can be sent.
•When entering a specific ID you should not use punctuation characters –to guarantee that
you don’t affect the field positioning of any data being sent by the wireless modem you
should never use a comma in the Unit ID. If you have a comma in the Device ID you will
effectively add a new field to any data sent as the data is delimited with commas by default.
Miscellaneous
•"Configuration ID no" –This is an ID that can be used to further identify a unit configuration,
may be used to identify standard configurations for a particular application.
•SIM PIN –Enter PIN for the SIM Card being used, if it's not deactivated.
•"Restart if inactive x min" –If the modem remains inactive for more than x minutes, the unit
will restart.
•"Password" –To set a password, use the ET command ETSPW (see Control via ET
commands later in this document). This password must then be entered in this field to allow
any changes through the configuration tool.
•"Force Reset every 24h" –The unit will be reset every 24 hours.
•"Maximum of SMS sent every 24 hour" –To prevent a large number of SMS being sent due
to an invalid configuration or an unstable input/system state you may limit the maximum
SMS sent in a single 24-hour period. This 24-hour period resets at midnight (00:00).
See the Delay and Alarm Restore Delay description (in the Communication tab) for other
ways to limit invalid sending.
If the wireless modem exceeds the maximum allowed SMS in a single 24-hour period then
any alert that is triggered will still generate a message and will send a TCP or UDP alert if
configured, but no SMS will be sent until the current 24-hour period expires. There is no
indication available of when the current 24-hour period expires.
•"Use incoming SMS security filter" –You may restrict the users that can access the unit,
users sending SMS to the wireless modem to control configurable options or to return
current statuses by selecting "Use incoming SMS security filter". With this setting, only
phone numbers in the phone number list will be accepted.
•"Reference Date" –Reference date (typical 05-01-01) is need for the Real Time Clock set
by ETM IoT Cloud Dashboard (EWO).

HW Model No - HW Serial No
Here the model number and serial number for the unit are shown.
Init AT/ET-Command Table
Here you may set various AT and/or ET commands that are executed at power up.
Alarm messages
•"Append Alarm status" allows you to choose whether or not to add the status (High or Low)
to the alert message. This is enabled by default.
•"Append Unit ID" allows you to choose whether or not to add the Unit ID to the alert
message.
Real Time Clock Sync
Select how the RTC is synchronized. Automatically sync it to EWO or use NTP Servers. Real
Time Clock sync with NTP servers will occur at start-up and every 12 hours.
The unit is using the NIST time information to adjust for time zone and daylight saving if
“sync in local time” is used. This may not work in all parts of the world and depends on the
telecom operator.
Note: Do not use NTP clock sync with EWO.
