GPRS device MBGP-A1 (obsolete)

GPRS module MBGP-A1 for m-bus

MBGP-A1 is specially developed to be used in remote reading networks. Using this module one can achieve fully automated and centralized reading of different m-bus networks. Data can be transmitted to up to four independent operators, each having own identity and access to it's own devices. Each operator has defined data, which he can read and use. These service set-ups (data operator access, devices, etc.) can be done by maximum of two control operators. Control operators can not read or access measured data - this data is prerogative of data operator.

MBGP-A1 normal operation

For correct operation a SIM-card must be inserted in MBGP-A1, with activated GPRS service. Access parameters (such as PIN, PUK, access point name, user name, password) must be programmed in MBGP-A1 memory - we offer free software for this purpose. Using this software also can be set the following parameters:

  • IP (v4) of at least one data operator, with his access level
  • IP (v4) of control operator and manufacturer (can be identical either to each other or with data operator), and all following set-ups can be made via GPRS by these two operators
  • data sending time period
  • time for sending reading request

These parameters can be re-programmed at any time (excluding SIM-card parameters) from control operator. Reading command is initiated by MBGP-A1 instead by the server, because that way the user has mobile operator independence and can choose from every available GSM operator with GPRS service.
