INTRODUCTION
Sutron’s Xpert family of DCPs (both the 9210 and the Xpert, hereafter referred to as the
Xpert) have been designed to be easily expandable by adding additional software
libraries, called Sutron Link Libraries (SLLs). One such library is GPRS.sll, which adds
the ability for the Xpert to communicate using a Sutron GPRS modem connected to a
serial port.
The GPRS.SLL permits TCP/IP access to or from the station, supports data messages in
various formats, alarms, and SMS text messaging as well.
This document is the user manual for GPRS.sll. The following topics are discussed:
How to install the library.
How to configure the Xpert for GPRS communications.

INSTALLATION
This section describes the installation and configuration of the GPRS.sll library.
Installation
GPRS.sll is required for GPRS operation. To install the library, copy the GPRS.sll file to
the “\Flash Disk” subdirectory of your Xpert using Xterm. For more information on
performing this file transfer, please refer to chapter 6 of the Xpert or 9210 user manual.
Once the files have been transferred, reboot the Xpert. The libraries will load
automatically after the Xpert reboots.
To uninstall the libraries, use Xterm to delete the files from the Flash Disk subdirectory.
This can only be done when the Xpert application is not running (select “Exit App” from
the Status tab).
In order for the libraries to load and operate correctly, the versions of the files must be the
same as the version of the application loaded into the Xpert. This is usually not a concern
because the same versions of the slls and application are typically packaged together.
Should the need arise to verify that the versions are the same; the version of a sll as it
resides on the PC can be determined by looking at the file’s properties (right-click on the
file and select the “Version” tab). The version of the Xpert application is given by the
application itself, at the top of the About dialog, which is accessed from the Status tab.

Before getting started
Typically the purpose of using the GPRS SLL is to provide internet services to an RTU
and hence the LAN is not available and not used, but during initial testing setup it’s very
convenient to take advantage of it. The problem is that if the internal LAN is turned on
then GPRS messages will be sent using the LAN and not the GPRS device. To avoid this
you should just go to the LAN Settings Setup entry and turn it off.
Figure 1: Turning the LAN off
Configuring the serial ports for GPRS operation may require changes to the registry that
will require a reboot before they take effect. When this situation can be detected, you will
be notified of the need to reboot. However, it cannot always be detected. If you
experience any difficulties establishing a connection when setting up a port for the first
time, try rebooting the Xpert.

FEATURES
This section discusses what features are supported related to GPRS communications.
Self-timed (scheduled) telemetry of data using TCP/IP messaging and/or SMS
text messages
Alarm telemetry of data using TCP/IP or SMS
Support for standard Xpert network services when used with a VPN or static IP
such as Telnet, Web Server, XTerm.
Scheduled and manually initiated processing of incoming command messages
Diagnostic support, including:
oScheduling details
oNext self-timed message content and size
oRecent incoming messages
oSignal strength
oTotal message and byte counting
oProjected data usage

CONFIGURATION
This section discusses how to configure the Xpert to operate with the GPRS modem.
There are three different places you’ll go to use and configure the Xpert for GPRS
communications:
GPRS Properties - Setup Tab
GPRS Blocks - Graphical Setup and EzSetup
Basic Entry - Setup Tab
The first, and the one this section discusses in detail, is an entry under the Setup Tab
named “GPRS”. This entry is used to configure how Xpert talks GPRS over a selected
communication port.

GPRS Properties
To access the dialog containing GPRS configuration properties, select the “GPRS” entry
and press “Edit”. The following dialog appears:
