2.2.4 TGSN Installation Overview
To provide both security and communications with the Cello 4s, PMAC Plus uses a
TGSN (Technolog GPRS Service Node) module.
This can be installed in between the ‘dirty’ internet and ‘clean’ corporate network as
required.
The TGSN module may be either installed onto the same server as PMAC Plus (as
described below) or onto a separate server (i.e. within what we call a DMZ). For
security, we normally recommend the latter option, with the TGSN module situated away
from the corporate network, residing between two firewalls creating a Demilitarised Zone
(DMZ).
Receives and stores any inbound data / alarms sent by the Cello 4s for subsequent
collection by PMAC Plus.
Allows outgoing messages from PMAC to be collected by the Cello 4s upon next
inbound connection.
Any outgoing messages to the Cello data logger from PMAC Plus (i.e to fill data gaps)
can be thought of as being stored in the TGSN 'outcache' for collection by the Cello.
Oubound messages are picked-up when the Cello next communicates with the server
installed with the TGSN module.
If the TGSN module is to be installed onto a separate server, away from PMAC, one
firewall is normally be configured to allow inbound traffic from the outside world, whilst
the firewall separating the TGSN module from PMAC should be configured to allow
outbound traffic, i.e. from PMAC to the TGSN module on a specific port. This method
prevents any potential unauthorised 'inbound' connections through to the corporate
network.
As a minimum requirement you would need a static IP address / domain name for the
Cello to send data to. Traffic arriving on this address may need to be port -forwarded to
the PMAC server inside the corporate network.
Cello's should be configured for GPRS/3G data - requiring a specific configuration file.
The Cello SIM telephone number should be saved into the 4s
Network APN, user name and password would need to programmed into the Cello 4s

2.3.4 TGSN Installation Overview
To provide both security and communications with the Cello 4s, PMAC Plus uses a TGSN
module. This can be installed in between the ‘dirty’ internet and ‘clean’ corporate network
as required. The TGSN module may be either installed onto the same server as PMAC
Plus or onto a separate server (as described below) i.e. within what we call a DMZ. For
security, we normally recommend the latter option, with the TGSN module situated away
from the corporate network, residing between two firewalls creating a Demilitarised Zone
(DMZ).
Receives and stores any inbound data / alarms sent by the Cello 4s for subsequent
collection by PMAC Plus
Allows outgoing messages from PMAC to be collected by the Cello 4s upon next
inbound connection.
Any outgoing messages to the Cello data logger from PMAC Plus (i.e to fill data gaps)
can be thought of as being stored in the TGSN 'outcache' for collection by the Cello.
Oubound messages are picked-up when the Cello next communicates with the server
installed with the TGSN module.
If the TGSN module is to be installed onto a separate server, away from PMAC, one
firewall is normally be configured to allow inbound traffic from the outside world, whilst
the firewall separating the TGSN module from PMAC should be configured to allow
outbound traffic, i.e. from PMAC to the TGSN module on a specific port. This method
prevents any potential unauthorised 'inbound' connections through to the corporate
network.
As a minimum requirement, a static IP address / domain name for the Cello to send data
to is required. Traffic arriving on this address may need to be port -forwarded to the
PMAC server inside the corporate network. The Cello should be configured for
GPRS/3G data using a specific configuration file.

The Cello 4s can be used with 2G & 3G capable SIM Cards for both SMS & 2G / 3G
Data communications
Technolog recommends purchasing SIM cards with sufficient credit for either SMS or
Data transmission based on the intended frequency of transmission.
Insert the SIM into a Mobile/Cellular phone and, if prompted, enter the PIN code. If the
PIN Code is unknown, contact the Service Provider for the default code. After the SIM is
unlocked, change the settings to DISABLE the PIN Code Lock, referring to the Mobile
phone manufacturer’s user manual.
Power down & restart the mobile phone to ensure the PIN Code is deactivated before
inserting the SIM into the Cello 4s.
Remove the Cello 4s lid, insert the SIM Card in accordance with the Cello 4s Product
Manual (2099PM9000)
When inserted the SIM Card into the holder, the SIM becomes locked in place via a
sprung latch mechanism.
Removal of the SIM card is only possible by withdrawing the latch away from the SIM
card allowing the SIM card to be partially ejected.
Ensure the SIM card contacts are kept clean and free from fingerprints.

Cello 4s Programming
4.1 Connect communications cable to the Cello 4s
1. Set up the local communications port in WinGPS as identified in Section 1.3.
2. Run WinGPS
3. Click on the centre of the WinGPS main screen to communicate with the Cello 4s.
4. All Cello 4s data loggers will be supplied preconfigured as per the build specification.
It is important to only reconfigure using configuration files appropriate to the product type
and transducer pressure range (if fitted).
4.2 4s Configuration
Cello 4s configuration files are used to determine the 4s application, recording strategy
and mode of Cellular communication, i.e. SMS-‘Short Message Service’ to a 2G &/or 3G
SMS Modem or via GPRS/3G TCP/IP Connections to a local instance of PMAC Plus via
a TGSN Connection.
Key Parameters:
Timebase:
This is the 'heartbeat' of the logging process. Each timebase interval the Cello 4s
examines its configuration and decides if a channel requires a log to be taken and acts
accordingly. Using a common timebase, channels may have different logging rates. The
timebase may not be changed if the Cello 4s is logging. Refer to Rate.
The logging rate is the time between samples taken and must be a multiple of the Cello
4s Timebase (above). Logging rates may be defined individually for each channel.
Rates may only be changed if the Cello 4s is at standby.
Note: The Logging Rate is renamed to ‘Debounce Period’ in some software packages
when used with the Sate Recording strategy.

Programming Guide
State Recording:
If configured for this mode, a change of input state is determined from two components;
Timebase + Debounce Period
Each ‘Timebase’, the channel input is examined (i.e. for an open/on or closed/off status)
A Debounce period is added since many inputs oscillate between two states in boundary
conditions (for example, where a ‘wave’ action may cause a level switch to open or close
repeatedly, or an off / off condition creates a double contact / ‘bounce’).
A new state is only recorded if the current state condition (sampled by the Timebase)
remains unchanged throughout the debounce period.
Example 1:
When the input (open/closed) contacts have been in a new state for greater than the
additional Debounce period
Example2:
To detect when a pump switches on or off, the Timebase (input examination) could be
set to 10 seconds and the Debounce period could also set to 10 seconds. In this
scenario, it would take 20 seconds before a possible change of state is recorded
/actioned.
Analogue Recording
Frequency Recording
Each logging interval the input signal is counted over a specified (typically short, e.g. 2
second) period. At the end of the period a 2 byte value is stored. Maximum input
frequency is 16 kHz. This recording strategy is typically used to record meters with high
frequency outputs, motor speeds, etc.

Count Recording
Pulses are counted over, and stored at end of each logging interval. Up to 16000 pulses
may be stored in any one logging period with a limitation of 45 pulses per second.
Recording strategy is typically used to record flow rate and volume from bulk flow
meters.
Event Recording
Time of an event (typically based on the interval between two pulses) is stored down to a
configurable 1 or 10 second resolution. Maximum rate of events for reliable operation is
5 events per second. Recording strategy is typically used to record pulses from meters
where a higher level of resolution, greater than fixed interval Count recording, is
required. Event recording does not count pulses over logging intervals.

The Cello 4s can record a change in state, typically a pump switching on or off or even a
door closing.
1. Select the State (Pump) channel, by positioning the mouse ‘cursor’ over the channel line
and clicking the mouse button. The selected channel will now be highlighted with a blue
banner.
Timebase (referenced in the main Channels tab screen, above) and Debounce period
Each ‘Timebase’, the channel input is examined (i.e. for an open/on or closed/off
status)
A Debounce period is added since many inputs oscillate between two states in
boundary conditions (i.e. for example, where a ‘wave’ action may cause a level switch
to open or close repeatedly, or an off / off condition creates a double contact /
‘bounce’).
A new state is only recorded if the current state condition (sampled by the Timebase)
remains unchanged throughout Debounce period). i.e when the input (open / closed
contacts) have been in a new state for greater than the additional Debounce period.

For example, to detect when a pump switches on or off, the Timebase (input
examination) could be set to 10 seconds and the Debounce period could also set to 10
seconds. In this scenario, it would take 20 seconds before a possible change of state is
recorded / actioned.

4.2.3.5 Configure Digital Frequency Inputs
Each logging interval the input signal is counted over a specified (typically short, e.g.
2 second) period. Maximum input frequency is 16 kHz. This recording strategy is
typically used to record flow meter velocity with high frequency output signals, motor
speeds, etc.
2. Select the Frequency channel, by positioning the mouse ‘cursor’ over the channel
line and click the mouse button. The selected channel will now be highlighted with
a blue banner.
Logging rate:
Typically set to 15 minutes or same as Timebase
The logging rate is the time between samples taken and must be a multiple of the
Cello 4s Timebase (above). Logging rates may be defined individually for each
channel. Rates may only be changed if the Cello 4s is at standby.
