data latency and the number of calls per day in order to keep the
costs down. In a typical scenario one or two calls per day would be
a good compromise. The call itself takes about two minutes to

configuration. If you have many sensors and/or they are sampled
more often that usual (i.e. once every 15 minutes), then you should
set your poll schedule more often. In general, a call should not
extend beyond two to three minutes.
Note: The A733GSM/GPRS firmware has a provision to cut the
connection after approximately 700 data slots (that
corresponds to about one week of data assuming standard
sensors); this is also in order to avoid excessive telephone
costs.
An efficient way to add RTUs is to use the bulk add feature. In the
RTUs section of the Configurator, click Bulk add to display the
window shown in Figure 15.

With this feature, you can create several RTU configurations,
adding them to the gateway’s list at the same time.
Editing Properties of Existing RTUs
To view or change properties of existing RTUs, select the RTU you

You can also right-click an RTU and select Properties from the
pop-up. Most operations described in the previous section can
also be performed in the Edit RTU window. After making the
