GATEWAY SPECIFICATION - WebdynPulse
WebdynPulse – Gateway specification - Version 2.0
5.3.1 Ethernet connection
For connection via Ethernet, the following parameters must be supplied:
•
IP address of the WebdynPulse on the local network;
•
Subnet mask;
•
IP address of the router or ADSL modem;
•
IP address of the DNS server.
5.3.2 GPRS connection
For connection via GPRS, it is essential to procure an activated SIM card with a DATA option, and to
know the values of the following parameters:
•
APN (Access Point Name): Name of the GPRS access point. This depends on the operator and
the type of subscription;
•
User name and password for connection to the APN.
5.3.3 Managing the PIN code for the SIM card
For connection via GPRS, a card must be inserted into the WebdynPulse gateway. The PIN code to
enable access to the card cannot be entered on the gateway. The WebdynPulse unit handles the PIN
code for the SIM card automatically. It is for that reason that the SIM card must either be initialized
with no PIN code or with a PIN code set to 0000 when it is first inserted.
The PIN code is managed using the following methods:
- If the PIN code is deactivated: GPRS communication is operational for the gateway.
- If the PIN code is activated and equal to “0000”: when the gateway is fired up for the first
time, a new PIN code is attributed to the SIM card. This PIN code is defined on the basis of the ICCID
(Integrated Circuit Card Identification) number of the SIM card installed. It is calculated using a
proprietary Webdyn algorithm. This feature allows fraudulent use of the SIM card to be prevented,
while providing ease of use.
In addition, this same SIM card can be reused in another WebdynPulse, WebdynTIC or WebdynSun
unit without any additional configuration.
- If the card has a PIN code that is activated but is neither “0000” nor the code attributed by
the WebdynPulse gateway, communications (including SMSs) will not be operational.
Never insert a SIM card with an activated PIN code that is neither “0000” nor a value
attributed by a WebdynPulse. If you do so, the SIM card will be blocked and the user
will have to unblock it by entering the PUK code manually.
6 Configuring the unit
Configuration of the WebdynPulse gateway should be carried out in several stages. The first stage,
initialization, consists of configuring the WebdynPulse gateway so that it can connect to the FTP
server. The second stage is configuration of the gateway via the remote server. During this stage, it is
possible to modify the whole set of configuration parameters via the files available on the server.
