SmartObserver Settings
To change the data logger’s settings, connect the SmartObserver data logger to the PC computer,
and start the Geolux Instrument Congurator PC application. Through the user interface of the
application, the following parameters can be congured.
Logger Settings
Date and time
The data logger’s internal clock can be set to the current time through the Geolux Instrument
Congurator application which is described in chapter 6 of this user manual. It is important to note that
the data logger does not have any special battery to keep the internal clock operating, so if the data
logger is disconnected from the battery, the time and date will be reset.
GPRS Settings
APN
GPRS APN is dened by the mobile operator that provided the SIM car for the data logger. Make sure
that the correct APN, as provided by the operator, is entered. If APN is missing or incorrect, it is possible
that the data logger will not be able to establish an internet connection.
Username
The username for the GPRS connection that is dened by the mobile operator. Make sure that the
correct username, as provided by the operator, is entered. If the username is missing or incorrect, it is
possible that the data logger will not be able to establish an internet connection.
Password
The password for the GPRS connection that is dened by the mobile operator. Make sure that the
correct password, as provided by the operator, is entered. If the password is missing or incorrect, it is
possible that the data logger will not be able to establish an internet connection.
DNS
The IP address for the DNS server. It is typically provided by the mobile operator. If the mobile operator
does not specify the DNS, you can use any of the public DNS servers (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, or 1.1.1.1). On
some networks, public DNS servers will not work, so make sure that you check this setting with the
mobile operator.
