4.4READING AND WRITING PARAMETERS

To read parameter values from the Nokia 12 GSM Module and write parameter values to it, use Configurator. Each Configurator dialog has “Read parameters” and “Write parameters” button for this purpose. Data is transferred between Configurator and the Nokia 12 GSM Module only after you have clicked either of these buttons.

Note: To apply the configured settings, click either the Read parameters or Write parameters button.

Some of the settings require that you reset the Nokia 12 GSM Module before they take effect. Either click the Reset button on the test board or remove and plug in the power cord on the test board. You can also use Configurator to reset the Nokia 12 GSM Module (File -> Reboot Module).

Note: The Nokia 12 GSM Module should be reset after you have configured all parameter values.

After a parameter value has been successfully configured to the Nokia 12 GSM Module, the dialog in Figure 1 appears.

4.5DEFINING THE MESSAGE IDENTIFIER

The message identifier is a mandatory setting that must be configured in order to use the Remote I/O control. Figure 2 shows a dialog (User Control Mode -> Settings -> Initialize) where you can set the identifier in Configurator. To define the message identifier, press Change. See Figure 2.

Note: Press the Write parameters button to activate the new identifier.

After you have set the message identifier, more parameters become available. If a message identifier has been previously defined to the Nokia 12 GSM Module, press the Read parameters button to enable the additional parameters.
