Short guide how to start using IL-NT-GPRS module
CAUTION!:
Any manipulation with plug-in module shall be done with disconnected power supply to both controller and module. Power supply shall be switched on also is same time to both module and controller. Fail to follow these instructions (power supply active only in controller or only in module) can lead to module or controller failure!
1. You will need one of supported ComAp controllers (IL-NT/IC-NT/ID-Lite), IL-NT-GPRS, antenna, SIM card with GPRS service and optionally IL-NT-RS232 or IL-NT-S-USB module. Firmware supporting IL-NT-GPRS module is IL-NT 2.0 or IL-NT-WSUP or selected customer branches (contact support@comap.cz for details). It is available here: http://www.comap.cz/products/detail/IL-
NT-GPRS/support/software/
2. Contact SIM card operator for getting GPRS APN (APN = Access Point Name) name, username and password. Some operator’s APNs are listed here: http://www.quickim.com/support/gprs-
settings.html#Australia or here: http://www.flexispy.com/Mobile%20APN%20Setting%20to%20use%20GPRS.htm
Example: APN Name = internet.t-mobile.cz, UserName = [blank], Password = [blank].
3. Make sure SIM card does not require PIN code. If it does, it is possible to disable it in any common network unlocked mobile telephone.
4. Power up the ComAp controller.
5. Enter correct APN Name, APN UserName and APN UserPass in controller’s setpoint group Comms Settings. Set COM1 Mode = DIRECT. Comms settings as every sepoint group are accessible by PAGE button from any measurement screen on controller. Setpoints can be set on controller’s front panel keyboard or by LiteEdit 4.5 and higher.
6. Switch off ComAp controller.
7. Place the SIM card into slot on IL-NT-GPRS card, plug in the IL-NT-GPRS card into communication slot on back side of ComAp controller.
8. Connect the antenna to designated SMA connector.
9. Connect power supply to IL-NT-GPRS module. It supports 8-36V DC voltage.
10. Power up the system (Controller and module together).

11. Wait for approx 2 - 4 minutes for first connection of the system to AirGate. AirGate will generate automatically the AirGate ID value. Then navigate to last of measurement screens where you will find signal strength bar and AirGate ID identifier.
Once this AirGate ID is displayed, connection via AirGate was succesfull. This value will be needed for LiteEdit or WebSupervisor connection. Kindly make a note for future reference.
AirGate Connection dialog in LiteEdit:
Add new gen-set dialog in WebSupervisor:
Should you encounter any troubles with connection, check the faultcodes on the same screen and find detailed description in Diagnostic codes listed lower.
12. Open LiteEdit PC software or enter your WebSupervisor account at http://websupervisor.comap.cz.

Hint: For opening a new WebSupervisor account kindly send e-mail to
admin.websupervisor@comap.cz your Name, Login name, E-mail address and Timezone. We will
create free account for you. Details at: http://www.comap.cz/products/detail/WebSupervisor .
Communication is now ready for use. Hint: To reduce the data traffic over GPRS network you can set in setpoint group „Comms Settings“
the parameter „AirGate IP“ = 80.95.108.26. This will save significant data amount needed for translation of Airgate server IP address. In case of changing the server IP address this settings has to be updated or returned to default „airgate.comap.cz“. Hint: From it’s nature the GPRS connection can from time to time drop for a short time due to a number of reasons affecting the cellular network. However the system is designed in the way that controller will automaticaly reconnect back.
Warning: All manipulations with IL-NT-GPRS module has to be done with DC power supply switched off. Module can be only powered on while plugged in the controller and together with controller!
