Determining Your Service Provider
TROLL Link 100 systems require a wireless service plan provider. Users must obtain their own cellular GSM/GPRS service plan, either from a third party or from In-Situ. In­Situ supports third-party service plans provided by AT&T®and T-Mobile®.
In-Situ Inc. uses AT&T as the service provider for the TROLL Link 100 and 101 in the U.S.A. and Rogers™ Communications in Canada.
Determining SMS Usage
Short Message Service (SMS) is a service that permits devices within a network to send and receive short messages (also known as text messages, or SMSs). Typically, you purchase a certain number of SMS messages from your service provider. Messages sent or received beyond the purchased amount are charged at a different rate (overages).
To purchase the appropriate service plan, you need to know how many SMS messages you will send each month. This is based on your desired data and sample rates from your In-Situ instruments.
l One SMS message holds up to five measured values from a single instrument
(i.e., instrument parameters, battery life, etc.).
l Instruments that require more than five values to be transmitted at one time require
additional messages.
l Up to 16 messages (80 values) can be transmitted at one time.
Use the following chart to determine what type of plan you need to avoid unexpected overage charges. The chart describes sending a single SMS (5 measured values or less) when sampling a single instrument. Sampling additional instruments increases the number of messages.

Configuring the Message/Wake Schedule
The Schedule tab determines time periods throughout the day when the TROLL Link Telemetry System turns on to send SMS messages, or turns on and waits to receive a dial-up or TCP/IP connection from Win-Situ 5 Plus. These time periods are called Message/Wake periods. Message periods occur when the TROLL Link is set to SMS mode, while Wake periods occur when the TROLL Link is set to dial-up or TCP/IP mode.
Message/Wake periods may occur several times a day. Scheduling these periods prevents the TROLL Link Telemetry System from draining the battery.
Create a schedule by selecting and clearing Message/Wake periods in the Message/Wake field. Another way to create a schedule is to adjust certain time parameters in the Create a Schedule field. Once the parameters are adjusted, all Message/Wake periods that fall within those parameters are selected.
In-Situ Inc. recommends that you make each Message/Wake period less than two hours.
1. Click the Schedule tab.
