B) Sim Card Configuration; C) General Settings Of The Control Software - Conrad GX106 Bedienungsanleitung

b) SIM Card Configuration

To be able to configure the GSM module via the software later, the intended SIM card must be
configured before initial use. For this, you require a mobile phone without "SIM lock". For
configuration, observe the notes of the SIM card and the operating instructions of your mobile
phone.
Proceed as follows to configure the SIM card:
• Insert the SIM card intended for the GSM module in any SIM lock-free mobile phone.
• Check the SIM card PIN according to the provider information. The PIN must have four digits
and no spaces. If necessary, generate a new PIN and write it down.
• Activate PIN query on the SIM card (PIN query is active if the mobile phone asks for the PIN
after activation).
• Save the changes on the SIM card.
• Try out the reception quality with your mobile phone (usually displayed on the mobile phone).
Find the best reception quality at the site where the GSM aerial is to be placed and mark this
position. The GSM aerial installation site should be as far as possible (within a distance of
approx. 2.5 meters) from the installation site of the GSM module and enable interference-
free reception with high field strength.

Radio network field strengths like for mobile phones may often be subject to extreme
fluctuations due to external influences like weather or sources of interference. For
secure function of the GSM module, we therefore recommend choosing a site with the
highest field strength for the GSM aerial.
• Then remove your SIM card from the mobile phone again.
c) General Settings of the Control Software on the Computer
Use the button "D/E" to switch the program language between German and English. The help
file is opened in the corresponding language.
Click the button "General Settings" in the control software. An interface appears for entering
the SIM card's PIN number, the desired phone numbers (PHONE), fax numbers (FAX) and
email addresses (MAIL). Also observe the notes and figures in the chapter "Initial Commissioning
of the GSM Module".
