Configure GPRS usage
Firmware and Routers
The A840 Gateway must have an IMG update to allow GPRS
connections. This firmware must be 3.8.0 or higher. In addition;
the A840 GPRS feature must be activated with the license key!
Look for the string "GPRS" in the license key string.
The new firmware will expect GPRS connections on port 81. Use
your router/firewall and NAT/PAT (Network/Port Address
Translation) to direct incoming connection requests to port 81 and
the private IP of the A840 Gateway.
Configure the A840 for use with GPRS RTU’s
Once the A840 firmware has been updated, the RTU must be
configured for GPRS. Open the Configurator, create a GSM RTU.
Once the device is created. the properties for the new RTU will
allow you to select it
GPRSSECRET <secret>
This has to be set (a 32 bit integer number, 0 to 4294967295). This
has to be set on the RTU as well as on the gateway. This is a sort
of shared secret or password.
Enter the Authorization code; it must EXACTLY match the
GPRSSECRET entered in the RTU (see GPRSSECRET). Check the
"Close connection after polls" check box.
If you want to change the A840 related configuration of a GPRS-
unit via Emu3ap: enter the Authorization code see GPRSSECRET)
as phone number (via Emu3ap's phone command), but precede
the number by one or two asteriscs (*).
