Sutron Corporation Satlink Operations & Maintenance Manual, Rev 8.04.2 11/3/2016 pg. 109
10.5.2.4. Max Tx Time
This value dictates how long Satlink will keep trying to reach the cellular network. If a connection
is not made during this time, Satlink will give up on the transmission and mark it as failed.
10.5.1. Tx Mode
If Tx Mode is set to Internet, Satlink will use the modem to get an internet connection. Once the
connection is established, Satlink will connect to the Main Server in order to deliver data. Failing
that, it will try the Backup Server. A transmission is considered a success if either of those
servers receives the data.
If Tx Mode is set to SMS, Satlink will send transmission data via SMS (messages) to up to three
telephone numbers, as specified by SMS Tx Phone. .
10.5.1.1. Internet Settings
Satlink delivers data to servers. To deliver to more than one server, setup multiple transmissions
for cell telemetry.
10.5.1.2. Main Server
When it is time to make a scheduled transmission, if Tx Mode is set to Internet or Internet
Fallback SMS, Satlink will connect to the destination specified by Main Server. The server may be
expressed as a name (such as www.sutronwin.com) or an IP address (such as 10.0.0.1).
See the section TCP/IP SESSION for details on the connection.
10.5.1.3. Backup Server
If Satlink is unable to connect to the Main Server, but it does have an internet connection, it will
try to deliver data to the Backup Server.
10.5.1.4. Server Port
What TCP/IP port to connect to on the Main and Backup Servers.
10.5.1.5. Server Password
If the Main and Backup Servers are protected by a password (sometimes called a shared secret),
it must be entered in this field. If it is not, Satlink will not be able to deliver sensor data.
10.5.1.6. SMS Tx Phone A, B, and C
When it is time to make a scheduled transmission, if Tx Mode is set to SMS, Satlink will send data
to the phone number(s) set up in SMS Tx Phone.
If you want data delivered to just one phone, enter it into SMS Tx Phone A, and leave SMS Tx
Phone B and C blank. To deliver to a second phone number, enter the number in SMS Tx Phone B.
Use SMS Tx Phone C to deliver data to a total of three different numbers.
10.5.2. Cell Global Settings
These settings are found on the Other Setup tab of LinkComm. Please read on for a list and
description of each setting.
