Initiate connection by pressing the Test Connection button.

At this point, TAT140 will create one high-priority record and initiate connection to the server immediately.
If connection was not initiated, it can mean any of the following:

Improperly inserted SIM Card
Incorrect values are set to these fields: APN, Domain or Port;
GPRS functionality disabled by GSM provider;
No GSM coverage;
Server cannot be reached.
Try solving this problem before proceeding with further device configuration.
