Note the following has been translated from an Afrikaans email with Google Translate
I can with modems via my computer communicate cable is sorted out.

Marinus, following the command set shown below, it is all I need to program the modem, ie in the IPT fashion to work to integrate with sdg system? Are there other details that I need to program except that which is shown below? If mentioned below should work then I do not like you think I still need a modem sending up then I have to do so instead. Your advice would valuation.

What are the values ​​that I need to import mentioned below:

? Configure the APN for the GPRS attach via AT command AT * APN =
? Configure the user name for the GPRS attach via AT command AT * PPPUN =
? Configure the Password for the GPRS attach via AT command AT * PPPPW =
? Configure 1st IPT server address via AT command AT * IPTADDR1 =
? A second IPT server address can be configured via AT command AT * IPTADDR2. If the connection to the first IPT server fails, the second one will be tried. =
? Configure IPT username and password via AT command AT * IPTACCOUNT. =
? Configure IPT Receive and response timeout via AT command AT * IPTTIMEOUT =
? Configure IPT attach delay time via AT command AT * IPTDELAY =
? Note: Even if your provider doesn 't need a username for GPRS attach some names must be defined, eg testuser. Otherwise a GPRS at-tach will fail. The username and password are needed, so the device kan Authenticate itself at the IPT server. the password and username are the same for each modem or should it be unique, or leave it out because I think you said that your passwords and usernames?

If I set it so as mentioned I can test it with your system?

Great stuff!!




Charles, I'll still feel better if you have a modem WITH CABLE sending up, so I can test it very personally, because the IPT component in PNPSCADA is still relatively new.






Yes. But it would be the APN for the general internet from mobile phones. "internet" works with most networks in South Africa.




Yes. You can skip the above 2 usually, otherwise you can make it anything, e.g. U and P (some modems require that you specify it, and I think this modem does, but I think generally the networks do not look)



Yes. This will be the IP address of the PNPSCADA server.



No should not be necessary.



Yes, it's very necessary. The username should be a 12 a digit Hex number please, and the password default to PW0



No, probably not necessary, unless you have problems. But 5-30 seconds?



No, probably not necessary, unless you have problems. 50 seconds or less, if possible?




The IPT username MUST be unique for each and every modem, because it is how IPT identification works.



Almost :-) IPT has been rolled out in Cape Town's servers, and Adam should have it with the next update. We are still doing tests, so currently it may still be unstable. Give it a week before you try it from today, for better results.

Before you can enter the IPT address, you need to set the modem in IPT mode, by entering AT*MODE=3

please note that when you specify the IPTADDR1 or IPTADDR2, that you actually have to specify the port number as well, e.g. 123.456.789.1:7259

please note that when setting up the iptaccount, that is the logon name AND the password, with a comma inbetween, e.g.
at*iptaccount=sparky,ykraps

Client asks:
How to program?
Over the serial port with the AT command set.
For example, if you use MTC in Namibia and server Adam, set the APN to 'internet', and set the GPRS username and password to 'u' and 'p', and 196.22.139.148 for IPTADDR1, and lets say the IPT username,password is 'nam,man'.
Then your AT commands would be:
AT*APN=internet
AT*PPPUN=u
AT*PPPPW=p
AT*MODE=3
AT*IPTADDR1=196.22.139.148:7259
AT*IPTADDR2=196.22.139.148:7259
AT*IPTACCOUNT=nam,man


also remember
AT*SAVE

Actually, what works very well with 

AT * IPTTIMEOUT =

is 70,70

And

Switch from 'GSM only mode' to 'IPT mode'

 

If AMR should be done via an IPT server, Sparklet has to be configured to IPT mode.

This chapter assumes that Sparklet is configured in ?GSM only Mode?. This can be checked by command AT*MODE?.

Mode: 0 → 'GSM only mode' → GSM

Mode: 1 → 'Tunneling mode' → GSM and GPRS

Mode: 3 → 'IPT mode' → GSM and GPRS

Note

All AT Commands are described in detail in document SparkletATCommandSet_StepIII. It is recommended that the command set is used during this chapter.

1. Configure the APN for the GPRS attach via AT command AT*APN confirmed by the ?Enter? key.

a Sparklet will acknowledge the entered APN with a OK message

2. Configure the Username for the GPRS attach via AT command AT*PPPUN confirmed by the ?Enter? key.

a Sparklet will acknowledge the entered username with a OK message

i Even if your provider doesn‟t need a username for GPRS attach, some name must be defined, e.g. testuser. Otherwise a GPRS at-tach will fail.

3. Configure the Password for the GPRS attach via AT command AT*PPPPW confirmed by the ?Enter? key.

a Sparklet will acknowledge the entered password with a OK message

i Even if your provider doesn‟t need a password for GPRS attach, some password must be defined, e.g. testpw. Otherwise a GPRS at-tach will fail.

4. Configure 1st IPT server address via AT command AT*IPTADDR1 confirmed with the ?Enter? key.

a Sparklet will acknowledge with a OK message

i A second IPT server address can be configured via AT command AT*IPTADDR2. If the connection to the first IPT server fails, the second one will be tried.

5. Configure IPT username and password via AT command AT*IPTACCOUNT confirmed with the ?Enter? key.

a Sparklet will acknowledge with a OK message

i The username and password is needed, so the device can authenticate itself at the IPT server

6. Configure IPT receive and response timeout via AT command AT*IPTTIMEOUT confirmed with the ?Enter? key.

a Sparklet will acknowledge with a OK message

7. Configure IPT attach delay time via AT command AT*IPTDELAY confirmed with the ?Enter? key.

a Sparklet will acknowledge with a OK message

8. At last the mode must be switched from GSM only mode to IPT mode via AT command AT*MODE=3 confirmed by the ?Enter? key.

a Sparklet will acknowledge with a OK message

a Sparklet does a restart automatically

Have confirmed, you MUST connect the Itron Sparklet through the Serial port to your computer to program it with AT commands, you CANNOT just SMS it. IF someone says you can program it with SMS, they must support you, not us. According to us, these meters can ONLY be programmed with a special cable and power supply, where you take the modem out of the meter, connect it with the funny cable, into your computer, and you program it with AT commands.
