The Gateway can be setup to activate the modem and try to connect and establish a GPRS
(Modem) connection with the ClimaCheck Online server if a SIM-card is inserted in the unit. If
activated, this is done for both Connection Modes (Online and PC) and regardless of network
interface
settings except “No Network”, see section
3.11. To switch on or off the GPRS connection
in PC Mode see section 3.13.
In Online Mode the Wifi access point is deactivated by default. See section 3.12 for instruction on
how to activate it while still in Online Mode. This can be used to log data, over Wifi, to the
