FP Web-Server V2.11
10.1 The Internet Dial-Out Function

terminal program to enter the appropriate AT commands (see modem manual):
- Ignore DTR changes (AT&D0)
- RTS/CTS hardware handshake (AT&K0&R0)
- No wait on dial tones (ATX3)
This setting is saved with the command AT&W for the next power-up or ATZ command. If the
modem is connected via a PBX to the PSTN, a “0w” or “0” can be put in front of the Dialup ISP
telephone number.
Dialup and email tests
The enhanced email functions like POP3 login and name resolution via DNS can also be tested
in a LAN, i.e. also in the local Ethernet a POP3 login and DNS access can be tested. The
network administrator can provide the parameters and addresses.
To test the Internet dialup and the Dialup ISP parameters, a Windows computer with ‘remote
dialup networking’ can be used. This setup plus an email client like “Eudora” or “Outlook” can be
used to test the email servers and the Email ISP parameters.
For tests in Germany, we included "Example7".
Later versions will implement an extended status display.
FP Web-Server configured as a PPP-Server
You can also configure a second FP Web-Server as a PPP-Server which can then be dialed up
instead of an ISP. This remote FP Web-Server, i.e. the PPP-Server, works as a dialup gateway
for a LAN where an email server can be used to send emails.
10.1.3 When Using a Cellular Phone (GSM) Modem
Please note the following when a cellular phone (GSM) module is used by the FP Web-Server
to call an ISP before sending an email:
1. At the dialog "Email Server Settings" enter a high value (17000ms or more) for the
timeout of the DNS and Email Server.
2. At the dialog "Internet Dialup Settings" only the baud rate can be set. The FP
Web-Server always uses 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.
3. Be careful with the GSM antenna! Maintain distance to other units (PLC, modem, FP
Web-Server...), which may cause interference by high level radio waves.
4. Set the GSM module to the factory settings (default settings) before connecting to the
FP Web-Server.
5. Please reboot (power up) the FP Web-Server after changing cables and connectors.
Especially after connecting a modem / GSM module to the FP Web-Server, it is
necessary to restart the unit for modem initialization and recognition.
6. Most of the GSM providers also offer Internet services. In this case these providers will
not allow you to dial up other Internet Service Providers via GSM! I.e. if you have a GSM
contract with company XYZ and this company also offers Internet dial-up services, you
cannot use your GSM module to dial up Internet services from the other company, e.g.
ABC.
7. The PIN code entry command AT+CPIN=xxxx can be entered in the text field
