Note: The poll schedule is applicable only to the A733GSM/GPRS
RTUs.
Adding New RTUs
If you need to add new RTUs, you first need to know their serial
number, symbolic names (usually the place where they are
installed), and the stations through which they have to be routed, if
any. For the A733GSM/GPRS RTUs, you don’t need a route, but
you will need its data phone number (for more details on the data
phone number issue, please consult the addWAVE User Guide).
Note: The RTU must be first installed in the field. For information
about installing RTUs, consult the respective RTU user
manual.
After you have started the Configurator and logged in (as
described in Step 2 through Step 5 on page 23), proceed as
described below:
1. Click Add in the RTUs section of the Configurator window to
display the window shown in Figure 13.
2. Complete the Name and Code fields and select the
appropriate RTU model (addIT, addWAVE, or A730MD). If you
don’t know which model the RTU is, you can also select
UNKNOWN and the first time the gateway contacts the
device, it will update this information. Note, however, that you
cannot configure sensors until the RTU has been identified.
Note: A733GSM/GPRS RTUs cannot be automatically identified.
3. To specify a starting date for polling the RTU, select the
Collect data since combo box to display a drop-down
calendar, then select the date. By doing this, you won’t have
to wait until the base station retrieves data that you don’t
need from those RTUs with large on-board storages.
