3. Overview

The Medi-Link GPRS/GSM unit uses a Cellular Module to report using the mobile network. The Cellular Module requires a SIM to connect to a particular network. The SIM itself has various attributes that can be set by the network provider.

Some of these options are available for Medi-Link GPRS/GSM use, some can only be viewed and some only the network provider can access. The Medi-Link GPRS/GSM unit connects up to the mobile network so some aspects are similar to your everyday mobile phone.

4. SIM Card

NB: Sim Card not included in the Medi-Link GPRS/GSM unit. Caution should be taken when purchasing SIM cards so that they have the desired network features available for Medi-Link GPRS/GSM unit to function correctly. *Pin number must be Disabled*

The Medi-Link GPRS/GSM unit requires a SIM card (just like any mobile phone) from a service provider.

Likewise, Medi-Link GPRS/GSM unit has ‘Program

10. CELLULAR-> SIM Identity’ to view the unique international mobile equipment identity (IEMI) number.

The SIM itself is a small memory card that stores information about usage, account, and network. When the Medi-Link GPRS/GSM unit is powered the cellular module uses the information from the SIM to determine the type of communication the network provider has allowed for the particular SIM. As a result some features may not be available due to network restrictions.

The mobile network offers specific channels designed to efficiently communicate in a particular manner.

The most common of these is the ‘Voice channel’. This channel assumes the communication is voice in nature and thus processes the signal by sampling, slicing into packets and compressing before transmitting,… and on the other side ….. uncompressing, joining the packets back together and converting back to some sort of analogue voice signal.

This is ideal for voice as once it has been processed the voice can not deteriorate in the transmission process. However this can process out the fine detail that is transmitted in the modem signal.

For this reason the service providers have introduced the ‘Data channel’ where data can be transmitted without the voice processing. When the Medi-Link GPRS/GSM unit reports, it generates GPRS through the airways and or DTMFs through the voice channels. Again the network processes can affect these signals, as such Medi-Link unit uses network generated

DTMFs on alternate reports in GSM mode only. Some networks may attempt to recognise

DTMF on voice channel and convert the signal to network generated DTMFs.

5. SIM Card Installation

The Medi-Link GPRS/GSM unit has a SIM socket which is located in the Battery compartment. To access, undo the screw and remove the Battery Hatch.

Model No.

1 x M3.5 screw

Battery Hatch

The SIM socket is located beside the battery so remove the Battery first. The SIM socket is a push-push type which is very easy to use. The SIM card needs to be placed contactside down with the notched corner toward the socket (shown in the diagram below) then pushed in until it clicks into place. When correctly inserted, the edge of the SIM card will not extend into the battery compartment. Upon a second push the SIM card will click out of the SIM socket ready for removal.

SIM card

When the SIM card is correctly inserted, sufficient room is available for the Battery.

Replace the Battery. Care must be taken with the Battery Leads, so that they are tucked away neatly before placing the Battery Hatch.

Neatly tuck wire in here.

Clip the Battery Hatch into place and tighten the screw. The Medi-Link GPRS/GSM is now ready for use. Power the Medi-Link GPRS/GSM by connecting the AC power supply and switching the Battery Switch to ON. At this stage the Medi-Link GPRS/GSM is attempting to initiate communication with the GSM mobile towers which may take several seconds before the Medi-Link GPRS/GSM has established a link. To ensure the Medi-Link

GPRS/GSM has the best GSM communication, use the

CELLULAR->Signal Quality->’ feature and place the Medi-Link GPRS/GSM where signal quality is at it’s highest. The remaining setup required is as per Medi-Link unit (standard).

6. Quick Setup Guide

1. Insert the SIM Card into the Medi-Link GPRS/GSM Unit (refer to Section 5).

2. Supply Power to the Medi-Link GPRS/GSM Unit by:

Connecting the AC Plug Pack to a Power outlet and connect the Plug to

13. Medi-Link UDP/SERVER Reporting

The Medi-Link (Cellular) has an internal GPRS/GSM module to perform network reporting. The Medi-Link microcontroller communicates with this module by strings.

Basically the microcontroller makes a request and the module responds. When the operation is successful the process steps through the following states.

(Displayed bottom right hand corner as occurring).

-

-

[ntwO]

2 attempts (8 sec) … GPRS/GSM module establishes connection with a Cellular Network.

.

[prtO]

5 attempts (20 sec) …GPRS/GSM module opens a UDP port on the Network.

-

.

[cnct]

2 attempts (8 sec) … GPRS/GSM module connects to a receiving Server via the UDP

Port.

-

[rpt]

2 attempts (8 sec) … Medi-Link transmits report to receiving Server.

-

-

-

[rsp]

1 attempt (14 sec) … Medi-Link waits for response for receiving Server.

NB: If a response is not received from the Server, then the Medi-Link closes the Port.

[prtC]

2 attempts (2 sec) … GPRS/GSM module closes a UDP port on the Network.

[ntwC]

2 attempts (2 sec ) … GPRS/GSM module closes connection with Cellular Network

NB: if continually displaying any one of the above then whatever stays on display (Bottom right hand corner) is where the problem has occurred for service diagnostics. See below…

CALL

Unit [ntw0]

[NOTE: If response was not received from the Server, the Medi-Link performs up to 10 reporting attempts rotating around the programmed Servers. There is no delay between the attempts.]

These states occur after the GPRS/GSM module has made contact with the service provider’s access point. The GPRS/GSM manages the access point connection internally.

The GPRS/GSM module may come across network communication issues. The module will respond with error messages instead of the expected message. These error messages can be analysed and determine exactly what is happening.

The time to report via the UDP port is usually instant. The microcontroller requests and the GPRS/GSM module responses are generally quick. At times however the response may be slower as the GPRS/GSM module waits for communication from the access point and may respond with errors. In this case each request waits for the response. So this process may extend to a minute in unusual circumstances.

The Medi-Link attempts to report 10 times via the UDP port connection. If it is not successful than it will attempt to report through the GSM channel if phone are numbers entered (again 10 attempts, then 5 minutes, then 9 attempts hourly). NB” If it fails to get through in GPRS mode “Report fail” will be displayed until the unit finally connects either

13

through GPRS or GSM. If unit is only programmed in GPRS and it fails to communicate it will then wait for the next poll. If poll is successful then it will also send through any previous alarms that are in the cue that did not get through, time dated and stamped accordingly as they happened.

Upon a successful UDP port report and if programmed to do so, the Medi-Link will start polling the receiving Server at 60 Minute intervals (Default value - programmable). These polling reports are identical to any other Medi-Link report but is unique in its contents so the receiving Server will reset it’s time for the next expected report.
