The GSM modem is an optional extra for the AXILOG.  When you install the AXILOG modem you can call the instrument from any PC that has a modem connected to a telephone line. As soon as the connection is established, it is as if the AXILOG is connected to the PC directly.

The modem required 6 ''D'' type batteries. The lifetime of the batteries depends on the number of times that you connect to the AXILOG. The batteries will last for about 1 month with average use.

For the GSM modem a sim card is required. This sim card should provide data transfer service. You must obtain this sim card locally.

The modem is supplied in a robust housing. The AXILOG connects to the modem through a 1:1 9-pin cable. This is the same cable that is used to connect the AXILOG to a PC.

On the PC side you can use any modem. A modem that was installed properly under Windows will automatically be shown as one of the connection options in the PC software that comes with the AXILOG.
