6�4 MaxWeb xp GPRS
6�4�1 Recommendations for the SIM card
To use MaxWeb xp via GPRS you need a SIM card with GPRS data service. The services
and tariffs offered by different providers vary widely. For this reason only general instruc-
tions can be given at this point.
Required services: E-Mail, VPN, and DNS
The following ports must be activated: 25, 53, and 9300
Required protocol: TCP/UDP
Do not use pre-paid cards.
Select a provider offering good network quality at the selected location so that expen-
sive roaming fees can be avoided.
MaxWeb xp GPRS is continuously connected to the Internet. Therefore please make
sure you select a card contract that is based on data volume rather than time. Other-
wise you may incur high charges.
For smaller PV systems and daily data transfer the contract should allow for a min-
imum data volume of 300 MB per month. Select a larger data volume if you wish to
record a large quantity of data, access the installation regularly online, or transfer
data at short intervals.
Note
Data volumes quickly exceed 300 MB if MaxWeb xp must interrupt and re-
establish the VPN connection several times a day. This can happen if the
signal is too weak (see Section 6.4.2) or if other nearby GPRS devices compro-
mise the bandwidth. In situations like these you should conclude a payment
card agreement with a larger data volume.
