Help, my Telbit concentrator is switched on, but it doesn't seem to be connecting to the internet. My Huawei stick's blue light is not coming on.

You stick might not have its APN name configured to 'internet'

You need to run this command on your HUAWEI stick:

AT+CGDCONT=1,'IP','internet'

How do I do that? When I plug the stick into my Windows, I don't seem to get a Serial Port interface to it.

You can connect to the Orange Pi Zero from your computer via USB, and then your Huawei stick into the Orange Pi Zero's USB , and then you access it via something like:

screen /dev/ttyUSB3

You can make sure you have the right interface, but typing AT and it should return back OK

Ok, I'm connected now, but I still don't 'see' the stick

Well, see if you can ping www.google.com

If not, perhaps you need to run ./init3g.sh

That should use sakis3g to connect you to the internet

And then, try to connect to the server from the command line via something like

nc -vv 196.22.139.148 2238

If that can connect, the Java program should be connecting.

do
cat server.txt

make sure it is connecting to the right server.

Presume it can see it. You need to add the entity of the concentrator on PNPSCADA. Like this:

Add New->Concentrators->Telbit Data Collector

Then put the ID in, that is important, it should be something like 32100000614 and click finish.

(if you're not on Adam, you might want to cycle the power on your Telbit concentrator, so that it can find the server you've created it on. It does that when it connects)

Once the Concentrator ID exists, you can configure it further at:
Tools->Telbit Concentrator

On there, click on 
 List Meters 

That will take some time to explore the meters in the vicinity of the concentrator. If it fails, or has strange results, or doesn't find the meter you expected, try again after 11-22 minutes?

Next to the meter serial number on the list is a link you can click to add the meter.
