GSM/GPRS Backup Application
The NM-GPRS/GSM module can be used to provide NPort 6000 device
servers with an automatic backup capability.
servers with an automatic backup capability.
When the backup function is enabled, the NPort 6000 will check the
remote host connection on the Ethernet side after power on. Once a
remote host connection on the Ethernet side after power on. Once a
connection failure has occurred, data from the serial device will be sent
out through the GSM/GPRS network. When the remote host on the
Ethernet side returns to normal status, data will again be sent through
the Ethernet connection. The NPort 6000 backup function makes your
data transmission safer and more reliable.

GSM CSD Data Connection
CSD (Circuit Switched Data) provides direct modem access to remote
devices, and system extensions can be used without requiring the
installation of cables and data lines. CSD can transmit data at 9.6
to 14.4 Kbit/sec to both the GSM network and the PSTN switching
subsystem by direct call. CSD overcomes the limitations of hard wiring
and inaccessible terrain for easier, more flexible data collection and
monitoring of applications that use NPort 6000 series device servers.

GPRS IP Connectivity
GPRS is a packet-switched system. A GPRS network can be viewed as
a special IP network that offers IP connectivity to IP terminals. Devices
without PPP or TCP/IP capability can be easily connected to the IP
network and the Internet through GPRS by using the NPort 6000 GSM/
GPRS module.

Real COM Mode Supported
The NPort 6000 supports Real COM drivers for Windows 95, 98, ME,
NT, 2000, XP, XP x64, 2003, 2003 x64, Vista, and Vista x64 operating
systems, and Real TTY drivers for Linux systems in a GSM/GPRS
network environment.

systems, and Real TTY drivers for Linux systems in a GSM/GPRS
network environment.
In Real COM mode, the bundled drivers are able to establish a
transparent connection between a host and a serial device by mapping
the serial port on the NPort 6000 to a local COM/TTY port on the host
computer. One of the major conveniences of using Real COM mode
is that it allows you to use software that was written for pure serial
communication applications.
