Select this option to return to the Main Menu.

Option 1 – Force GPRS Online

or

Connect/Disconnect

or

N/A

This prompt will only show the “Force” option is the unit is a GPRS model AND the comms
scheduler is disabled (i.e. it has a duration setting of zero). In all other situations, it will show
either “Connect” or “Disconnect” to simply start or end a wireless connection or “N/A” if the

option is not valid for any reason.


If it is able to be forced, when this option is selected you will be prompted to wither enable or disable a
forced, continuous IP communication session. As mentioned, this option is only available for GPRS models
where a “permanent “connection is possible.

> Force Online (0:No 1:Yes)=

Enter either 0 to disable communication or 1 to enable a permanent GPRS communication session. Set this
option to 0 (disabled) when using the Schedule feature to define a regular regime of automatic connections.
See Section 4.4.7.

Option 2 -Addr

When this option is selected you will be prompted to enter the iQuest protocol address for the device.

> Address=

Enter a value between 0 and 32767 (the factory default is 1). This address is used to identify the unit in all
iQuest protocol communications.


An address of 0 is normally reserved for the base station (e.g. HydroTel™). The iRIS will
always respond to an address of –3, which is a special universal address.

Option 3

This option selects the type of base station to which iRIS will be connected.

> Type (0:HydroTel 1:Other)=

If you are connecting to a HydroTel™ base station (including the iQuest Global Data Network), set this value
to 0 (HydroTel), otherwise set it to 1 (Other) for other host systems such as the iQuest iRIS Web Agent that
accept auto-reported data. This option affects the format of unsolicited messages sent to the base station.

Option 4

Select this option to enter the GPRS/3G/CDMA-1X configuration menu.
