3 Introduction ERMES allows the local and remote control and programming of the instruments of the series MX5, MTOWER, LDPHXX and WDxxxx. The connection possibilities include the following media: GSM, GPRS or ETHERNET. Different types of instruments can be connected to each other on a local network with a maximum of 30 instruments through protocol. Note: Only one US or ETHERNET module or GSM/GPRS MODEM needs to be installed to manage (locally and remotely) all the instruments installed on the same network. TTENTION: The configuration procedure must be completed by assigning a univocal ID (identification number) and on the first and last instrument of the network the termination jumper must be closed on the main card. For these operations, read the documentation attached to each single instrument.

E.g.: 3 instruments. first instrument with US module, second instrument with ETHERNET and last instrument with GPRS module. ll instruments connect to PC-ERMES via LN or GPRS or US. 3

4 Configuration - /GPRS This type of configuration allows the creation of a network of MX5, MTOWER, LDPHXX and WDXXXX instruments (up to a maximum of 30 units) for remote control via internet using a GPRS modem on an instrument belonging to the network itself. The connection between the various instruments is made through the serial protocol. The output of the last or only instrument on the network can be connected to the - US converter even to connect to a local PC. TTENTION: The configuration procedure must be completed by assigning a univocal ID (identification number) to each instrument and the first and last instrument of the network the termination jumper on the main card must be closed. For these operations, read the documentation attached to each single instrument. SUMMRIZED PROCEDURE FOR CONFIGURTION OF / GPRS HRDWRE 1. Connect the instruments on the network (if more than one) by means of cable 2. Insert into the GSM/GPRS modem, on the network instrument, a SIM enabled for DT traffic with an PN (ccess Point Name) 3. Configure the modem of the instrument with the PN parameters of the SIM (PN on MNUL ) or in auto-configuration mode (PN on UTOMTIC ) 4. ssign a univocal ID to each instrument from the configuration menu (see instrument manual) 5. Within ERMES WE add instrument/s by entering SIM phone number MX5 / MTOWER LDPHxx WDXXXX MIN ORD L C E E E E E E N N N N N N Pin (Connect with to close it) For serial connection between WDXXXX: connect same color wires and close jumper for last instrument of chain. 4

5 Configuration - / GPRS Complete the hardware configuration by inserting the DT SIM as shown in the figure. Make sure the SIM is enabled for data traffic on PN. LDPHxx serial network connection 28 (+) 29 (-) Connect the terminals to the next instrument using a two-wire cable with an impedance of 600Ohm (e.g. a duplex cable) ttention: Do not invert the connections! instrument a instrument b Network connection of MX5 and MTOWER series 21 (+) 22 (-) Connect the terminals to the next instrument using a two-wire cable with an impedance of 600Ohm (e.g. a duplex cable) ttention: Do not invert the connections! instrument a instrument b MX5 / MTOWER Insert the SIM and close its housing compartment. If the connection is successful, when you turn the instrument ON again, a signal status bar will appear on the MX5 / MTOWER / LDPHXX instrument display INSTLL THE EXTERNL NTENN WHEN INSTRUMENT IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER SUPPLY.

6 Configuration - / ETHERNET This type of configuration allows the creation of a network of MX5, MTOWER and LDPHXX instruments (up to a maximum of 30 units) for local and remote control via internet using an ETHERNET connection on an existing network. The connection between the various instruments is made through the serial protocol. The configuration of the ethernet module on board an instrument is automatic (active DHCP). In case of particular needs, you can manually enter a static IP address. TTENTION: The configuration procedure must be completed by assigning a univocal ID (identification number) to each instrument and on the first and last instrument of the network the termination jumper on the main card must be closed. For these operations, see the documentation attached to each single instrument. SUMMRIZED PROCEDURE FOR CONFIGURTION OF / ETHERNET HRDWRE 1. Connect the instruments to the network (if more than one) by means of an cable 2. Connect an ETHERNET cable to the instrument with the ETHERNET module on board and connect it to a switch / router / ethernet port 3. ssign a univocal ID to each instrument connected by from the configuration menu (see instrument manual) 4. Make sure the PC for remote management has an active internet connection 5. Within ERMES WE add instrument/s by entering CODE NUMER (instrument s SERVICE menu) 6. If a PROXY SERVER is installed on local lan please contact your network administrator for security permissions and assure that internet traffic on port TCP 2020 is allowed MX5 / MTOWER PC with COMMUNICTION SOFTWRE LDPHxx PC with COMMUNICTION SOFTWRE ROUTER with DSL MODEM SWITCH INSTRUMENT with ETHERNET module 6

7 Troubleshooting Problem Possible solution Check best signal coverage for operator choice. Modem is compatible with the following GSM frequencies: MHz (three-band). Not compatible with 3G only operators. What to do before to install the SIM into instrument s modem SIM type is: Mini-SIM (classica SIM card in uso nei telefoni) Lenght 25 (mm) - Width 15 (mm) - thickness 0,76 (mm) Subscribe to a data plan for monthly traffic activity of about 500M Make sure PIN REQUEST is OFF. If not insert SIM into a standard mobile phone and disable it. Several instruments are connected in mode but the software displays only one The GPRS modem does not connect to the network Make sure the termination jumper on the first and last instrument of the chain are closed Verify the correct insertion of the SIM Verify PN parameters and enter them manually if necessary Make sure the SIM has a data plan active for internet access Make sure the provider supports international roaming DT if the connection is abroad The instrument is unable to obtain a valid IP address from the LN or the software does not connect to it Make sure the pre-existing network allows auto-assignment of the IP address (automatic DHCP); if it does not, contact the network administrator to obtain the data to enter manually Make sure the network cable is connected to the instrument. Make sure it is a good quality cable and not the cross type. CT 5, 6 and 7 cable types are compatibles ERMES does not find the instruments via internet that are correctly connected to a LN FIRST TIME CONNECTION TO ERMES ERMES is asking for CODE and SERIL NUMER during first time access, where are they? DDING N INSTRUMENT TO ERMES Where is the CODE NUMER required to add an instrument to the account? Make sure the internet connection is active Make sure there are no port-blocking third part programs and/or firewalls active that prevent data traffic through the TCP 2020 port CODE and SERIL NUMER are located on instrument s main label For instrument with LN access: see SERVICE menu within instrument s software For instrument with GPRS access: enter SIM phone number 7
