Additional information for GPRS support and configuration

The following scenarios should be noted when working with GPRS connectivity for the 8000 Series clock:

  • The Local Area Network (LAN) connection will always take precedence over a Wi-Fi and GPRS connection if all three are configured and connected. Likewise, the LAN or Wi-Fi connection will take precedence over a GPRS connection if either one is configured and connected at the same time.
  • Further, a reboot of the 8000 Series clock is required to enable the GPRS connection in these scenarios:
    • If LAN or Wi-Fi is already configured and at a later point the GPRS adapter is plugged into the clock.
    • If LAN or Wi-Fi is already configured and at a later point the GPRS adapter is removed from the clock.
    • If the GPRS connection is enabled on the clock and the Wi-Fi adapter is plugged in without a valid configuration a restart is required after the Wi-Fi connection is configured.
