Nexus module parameters
The “Programming - General parameters” section allows you to program some of the Nexus
management functions, such as: low/remaining credit, input and output volume, disablement
of tamper protection and the emergency signalling delay.
Note
The remaining credit control feature is subject to temporary or even permanent unavailability caused by
changes in the implementation of the methods used by the GSM/GPRS service provider.
INIM provides device programming functions which may be capable of restoring this feature, by means
of manual changes to the respective parameter settings.
