µMETOS - Configure APN

Modified on Fri, 16 Oct at 6:29 PM

Before You Start


To configure the APN on the µMETOS, you will need:

  • Computer
  • USB cable Micro
  • Your station is running with the latest firmware (recommendation)
  • The battery is charged to approximately 6.5V
  • Physical access to the station


Step 1. Download and install the latest release of the PI Service Terminal by clicking on THIS LINK.

    

➡️ In case you do not know how to install it, you may find THIS GUIDE useful.


Step 2. Launch PI Service Terminal.


Step 3. Unplug the battery and the solar panel.


Step 4. Plug in the USB cable.


Step 5. Plug in the battery.


Step 6. On PI Service Terminal, make sure a COM port has appeared and click to "Connect".


Step 7. (If the menu is not shown), press "H" to show it and press (P) for MODEM PARAMETERS:

    ➡️ This process requires a few seconds while the station checks the sensors and confirms the modem's functionality, after which it initiates the GPS scan. To abort the GPS scan, just press the 'ESC' key. If nothing shows up on the screen, hit 'H'. If nothing occurs, check the USB cable and switch the station OFF and ON.

Step 8. Configure the APN with the options '3 - APN NAME', '4 - APN LOGIN' and '5 - APN PASSWORD':


3 - APN NAME                      -> None
4 - APN LOGIN                     -> None
5 - APN PASSWORD                  -> None

    ➡️ Typically, configuring the APN is only necessary for 2G networks, not for NB or CAT-M networks and certain networks only need the 'APN NAME'. To determine whether an APN is needed, reach out to your SIM card provider.


    ➡️ METOS weather stations that come with a 1NCE or Vodafone SIM card already, do not need any additional configuration. If you need to configure an APN while using 1NCE or Vodafone SIM card provided by Pessl Instruments, please, use the APN below:


1NCE:
APN address: iot.1nce.net
User: no need
Password: no need

Vodafone:
APN address: lpwa.vodafone.iot
User: no need
Password: no need

CONGRATULATIONS! The APN has successfully been updated.
