Step up this Value using Ë/¬ to 111 then click PROG again .
You now have access to the "M.Data" list, which you can navigate through using the PROG button.
Please note that not all M.Data numbers are available. After M.Data 24 comes M.Data 30. You cannot navigate backwards, but the list starts from the beginning after M.Data 55 [depending on the firmware version of the device].
Set the value of M.Data 30 to 1 using the Ë/¬ buttons. This activates the GSM modem. The following entries in the M.Data list are called A and B and represent two telephone numbers.
A restriction to two telephone numbers ( M.Data 30 to 2 ) is only permitted in SMS mode.

- The serial number is labelled on the device and must be set as the identifier for the irrigator in the Raindancer portal.
The telephone number of the device SIM card must also be stored in the portal. As soon as the irrigator is configured and has a sufficiently good connection to the wireless network, you should be able to observe communication with the device. - To verify this, the serial number can be requested by sending a text message to the SIM card. The device sends a reply to the message
("IP": "SETUP", "READ":0)
, which contains the serial number ("SN":). - However, a proper function check only works if the remote control device with the serial number is assigned to the client via the client administration and an irrigator with the serial number & telephone number) has been set up.

For Operation with Text Messages
- Use the Ë/¬ buttons to set the value for B after M.Data 30 to the Raindancer telephone number in the style +491520xxxx.
It is important that the entry B is used, otherwise the communication won't work.
