Please note that after you make changes, you must write the settings into the device
to be applied. For this, click on the “Write settings” button.
SIM settings:
Device phone number: enter the phone number of the SIM card installed in the Gate Control
BASE device. The system will use this in the mobile application to control the gate by a backup
phone call if a problem occurs with the mobile Internet connection when you want to control
a gate.
PIN code: if you want to lock the SIM card with a PIN code, enter in this section the PIN code of
the SIM card installed in the device and enable PIN code request on the SIM card using
a cellphone. Otherwise disable PIN code request on the SIM card. If the wrong PIN code has
been entered, the device will try the code only once each time the code is changed in the
settings, and “PIN code error” message will be shown in the system logs. After an unsuccessful
attempt, the device will delete the wrong PIN code in the settings, after that it may restart
depending on the type of the modem, and then the “PIN code need!” message will be shown
in the system logs. If you experience this, enter the correct PIN code. If the wrong code is
configured 3 times consecutively, the SIM card will reach the PUK code request stage. In this
case, install the SIM card into a cellphone, unlock the card by entering the PUK code when
requested, and configure the valid PIN code in the device settings.
APN: the APN (access point name) necessary for connecting to the Internet. Ask this from the
mobile service provider of the SIM card installed in the device. If no APN is configured, the
device will not try to connect to the Internet. If you want to use the Internet based functions of the
device, it is necessary to configure the APN and use a SIM card with available mobile Internet
service in the Gate Control BASE device.
Note: Configure the APN even if you don't want to use the device with an Internet
connection, because with certain service providers it happens that without that the
modem cannot connect to the mobile network at all, or it does not receive a time
setting from the network.
APN username: necessary only if the mobile service provider provides this and requires its
usage for the given APN.
APN password: necessary only if the mobile service provider provides this and requires its
usage for the given APN.
Cloud server:
Server: you can select the default cloud server in this drop-down menu. If you are using the
device in in a private network, where there is no option to enable access to the cloud server, the
program offers an option to add custom cloud contact details in the “Server register” menu.
This can be an IP address and port number available in the given private network, which you
can then select as the default cloud server in this drop-down menu. Thus, it is not necessary to
enable access to the cloud server in the private network, just configure port forwarding from the
chosen IP address and port number to the cloud IP address and port number
(54.75.242.103:2016).
Call durations:
Protection against reopening: a call made with certain cellphones on certain networks may
generate another call to the device due to rejection, that results in another unwanted control
action (e.g., the gate stops while opening). With this option, you can set the device to ignore
further calls from the same phone number within the specified time. If this phenomenon is
detected, the recommended setting is 10 s.
