The protection of hard assets and property is an ever increasing priority in the business world. The maintenance and security of high value vehicles, road plant and machinery and any other valuable inventory is an around the clock process that requires cost effective and easy to use communications to provide the needed protection.

Low cost web configurable surveillance cameras are now able to be deployed with 3G communication devices networked via IP addressing. Using real time monitoring capabilities of the Unimax or Smartmax Ethernet modems, remote monitoring sessions can be scheduled at critical times to oversee collateral holdings wherever they may be located nation wide, by beaming images and real time CCTV footage back to base over the Mobile Phone networks.

Such applications and the provisioning of monitoring via Web cameras hooked to 3G modems can provide a number of benefits, especially when linked via a private IP WAN service secluded from the outside Internet world by username and password access including but not limited to:

- Easy remote monitoring in real time
- Protection of assets (e.g. road plant) while on jobs in remote locations
- Scheduled sessions when risk is high
- Lower insurance costs

This week we will discuss how to restore the Modmax serial modem to factory default settings, first we will restore the serial port settings like baud rate, flow control DCD and ignore circuit settings by sending AT&F AT command to the modem via serial or USB port. After sending this command you have to use the default baud rate of the Modmax which is 115200 bps.

Now to restore the IPSTack settings to factory default you actually have to clear $$IPCTRIP and $$IPCFL values manually. Using the AT command line below (copy and past on your terminal program), it should restore the modem IPSTack to default settings.

“at$$spc=356758;$$dsid=TELSTRA_PPP_ID;$$dspw=;$$ipctrip=0;$$ipcfl=0,0;$$ipcfl=1,0;$$ipcfl=2,1;$$ipcfl=3,10;$$ipcfl=4,0;$$ipcfl=5,10;$$ipcfl=6,1450;$$ipcfl=7,60;$$ipcfl=8,3;$$ipcfl=9,60;$$ipctrip=0;$$ipctrip=1;+cgdcont=1;+cgdcont=2;+cgdcont=3″
