Server Socket with SMS

It is possible to trigger server socket connection open from logger to
AWS Client by sending an SMS to the logger. This mode of connection
requires advanced configuration on the logger and a GSM modem
connected to the PC running the AWS Client software. For further
information, see section IP Service Connectivity with GSM in Vaisala
HydroMet™ Data Collection Platform User's Guide, Volume 3.

To add an Address Book entry for a server socket connection with SMS,
proceed as follows:

1.

On the Settings menu, select Address Book.

2.

Select New. The fields for selecting new connection parameters are
displayed.

NOTE

In order to use the DNS name, must have access to a DNS server to be
able to resolve the DNS name to the IP address of the destination host.

NOTE

For Server socket, the target IP addr./DNS name is not available in
the user interface.
