Group Number: This field will select the group number file to be uploaded on the server. Ex- if four groups are defined in data logger and user enters group number 1 then group no 1 file will be uploaded on to the server.

Source Media: In this field user will select the source external device from where the data needs to be uploaded.

Destination Media: In this field user will select the destination source from where the data needs to be transferred (If COM port is selected then user needs to connect the GSM gateway for data transfer).

APN: This field will be needed only if COM port is selected as here user needs to give the Access Point Name of the service provider for GPRS gateway.
