Associated with: SCADAPack 50 Outstations. The pick action is only available while an outstation is awaiting confirmation that the SCADAPack 50 device successfully received the previous configuration from the outstation.
Security permission required to access this pick action: Configure.
Use this pick action to allow you to initiate a Download Configuration action before you receive a confirmation SMS message response for a previous Download Configuration action.
A Download Configuration action is not complete until the device sends a confirmation response SMS message back to Geo SCADA Expert. We recommend that you do not initiate another Download Configuration action while you are waiting for a confirmation response. However, the GSM network may not deliver either the original Download Configuration request or the corresponding confirmation response. If this is the case, you may want to send the Download Configuration request again. To do this, you select the Allow Next Configuration pick action and then select the Download Configuration pick action again.
For more information about how Geo SCADA Expert communicates with the SCADAPack 50 device, by using SMS messages, see SCADAPack 50 and SMS Messaging.
