11. In the Timers view, you can adjust the timers as needed. By
default, the setup timer options are as follows:
-
Reports are generated and sent to the FTP server once a
minute.
-
The QML logger time is synchronized from the NTP server
once an hour.
-
Check External DC status once per minute, and trigger an e-
mail message if the voltage is under 6.0V
12. Your setup is now ready for testing. You can test the setup as
follows:
a.
Observe the QML logger output to COM0. It will show the
progress of and possible errors in the connections, FTP
transfer, and other communications.
b.
Check that your reports appear in the FTP server directory at
the scheduled intervals.
c.
You can test the NTP connection from the QML logger
command line using the command ntp test <servername>,
where <servername> is the NTP server name used in the NTP
client configuration.
d.
You can set the QML logger time using the command ntp set
<servername>.
e.
Establish a service connection to the QML logger. For
instructions, see section
Service Connection for Virtual COM
.
f.
For the external DC alarm test, the logger must have a charged
battery installed. To test, remove the logger power supply
from the POWER connector. Check that an e-mail is sent no
later than 60 seconds after the disconnection.
NOTE
The default interval may be a bit too fast for a GPRS connection,
especially if the connection is dropped between transmissions.
(Whether the connection is dropped depends on the modem, and it is
often controllable by AT commands.)
