PC2070 IP Configuration Remote Change

The PC2070 connects the the main gateway using three IP sockets.

The first socket is hard coded. The second and third can be programmed remotely using the following instructions.

There are 12 entries in the Lantonix in the remote device. The first four are hard coded to the MTEL catchall system. The second socket is inserted in positions 5 to 8 and the third socket in 9 to 12.

The changes can only be done from the VodaGateway application. The Viewer does not have the capability.

 

It is very important that the IP configuration in the gateway is correct. If not the remote device will be programmed to the incorrect sockets and will be lost. Recovery will only be possible by unit replacement.

 

The following assumes the correct IP and ports have been added to the Vodafone Gateway application in the Remote Test tab, Remote Commands frame.

  1. Go to the Remote Test tab on the Vodafone Gateway application.
  2. Select the site to be changed in the Send Message frame. Use the Select Site from the drop down box.
  3. Click on the Version ? button in the Remote Commands frame. Check in the Raw Data Stream log that the remote device responds with the correct serial number. This confirms you are modifying the correct device in the field.
  4. Click on the Status ? button and confirm in the log that the Hostlist is empty. This button sends a request to the remote device to ask it what is in the list to be done after a reboot.
  5. If it is empty then click Update TCP button. There is no going back when this button is clicked.

      

  6. Confirm in the log that the cmd: Insert HostList No 2 is returned from the remote device
  7. Confirm in the log that the cmd: Insert HostList No 3 is returned from the remote device
  8. Once this is done there is a short period of about 10 seconds when clicking the Status ? button will confirm the commands are in the remote device. The remote device should now automatically go into ignore watchdog pulses mode so it can reset the processor.
  9. Now click the Reset CPU button to tell the remote device to reset. ( This is redundant)
  10. At this point in time the remote CPU will time out when the watchdog for the CPU expires, about 60 seconds.
  11. Then on resetting the CPU will start up and the first check is to see if there are commands in the remote list.
  12. If the CPU detects these two HostList commands it will begin the process of talking internally to the Lantronix device.
  13. The CPU will sends all the commands and look at responses from the Lantronix. The commands to change the IP will be in this list. The CPU keeps a log of all the commands and responses during this process.
  14. At the completion of sending commands to the Lantronix, it continues to boot normally.
  15. The Lantronix will also reset taking on the new instructions for the IP changes.
  16. It is important that this whole procedure occurs inside the normal 8 minute power recycle timer which will power down the unit. It this occurs the host list will not be upgraded and the process must be repeated. The main reason for this is all the commands and logs are in memory. The power keeps these alive.
  17. The log will remain in memory as long as the remote device is not power cycled.
  18. To view the log connect to the remote device as before.
  19. Click on Version ? to check the device is responding. Check the Raw Log for responses.
  20. The click the LOG? button.
  21. The log is now downloaded from the remote device to the Raw data Stream and the log on the right of this frame.
  22. The text box on the right allows you to scroll through the contents of the downloaded log from the remote device.
  23. To check the IP changes scroll toward the bottom of the log and look for the IP return values. An example of the log is shown below
