Setting up a GSMCloud Account

In this section, we'll help you get started with setting up your account and linking payment cards.

Create account

  1. Go to gsmcloud
  2. Tap "Register" in the top right corner. Now we need to fill out our registration form: First Name: Fill in with first name. Last Name: Fill in with surname.

Payment card registration

For GSMCLOUD to work optimally, a payment card must be associated. By default, there is a 30-day trial period during which you can test your device and your flow. However, it is not possible to use tariffed services such as SMS and calls.
  1. Tap the profile icon in the top right corner
  2. Tap profile.
  3. Go to the navigation bar on the left side and select billing.
  4. Tap on "Add payment method".
  5. Fill in "Card Holder Name" with the name that appears on the payment card.
  6. Fill in the card number with the card number typically located on the front of the payment card.
  7. Fill in the expiry date, which you can also typically find on the front of the payment card.
  8. Fill in the CVC typically 3 digits located on the back of the card.

Create Device

Let us connect your device to GSMCLOUD - All devices purchased for GSMCLOUD come with SIM cards and ready to use. Therefore, you don't need to do any setup of the device other than our cloud and the physical connection.

  1. Go to "Devices" in the top bar.
  2. Tap "New Device" in the right corner.
  3. In the name field, enter the desired name of the device.
  4. In the IMEI field, enter the IMEI number found on the side of the device.
    Some devices will have ports that can be named and set up when the IMEI number is entered, while on others ports can only be configured after setup.
  5. Press "Save"

 

The device is now created.

If you want to name the different ports, this can now be done by pressing  Edit to the right of the device.

Now go down to ports and name the different inputs in the Label field.

Modbus

Tap Add Slave.

  1. Enter the desired name for the slave in the "Device Name" field.
  2. Enter the slave ID number in the "Slave ID" field.
    If the device has not had its ID changed, it is typically

    Note: As there can only be one slave per ID and our Modbus master cannot change the slave ID, you must change it physically on the device with dipswitches. If this is not possible, the device must be connected to a computer with the included software (unfortunately we cannot help with this unless the device is purchased from GSMCLOUD or GSM Teknik).

 

  1. Tap Add Port.
  2. Now you need to select the different name addresses and types, we recommend that you consult the manual for your Modbus device to set up your slaves correctly.

    If your device is sending information in, select "Input", if the Modbus master needs to send data to your Modbus device, select "Output".

    Difference between boolean and analogue:

    Boolean is selected if the slave returns true/false or 0/1.

    Value is selected if the slave outputs a value.

Connecting Accessories (GC - 1001)

Our 1001 has a digital input that can be connected with potential-free equipment. As it only has 2 terminals, the equipment cannot be reversed.

It is important that no voltage is applied to the input, as it creates its own circuit that is used to measure the input!
