Campbell Scientific Raven100 CDMA Cellular Modem - Manual (Page 10)

Raven100 CDMA AirLink Cellular Modem
4.3 Power Considerations
• A power cable included with the modem connects to the datalogger's 12 V
or switched 12 V terminal. Connection to the switched 12 V terminal
allows the datalogger to switch power to the modem during scheduled
transmission intervals if desired.
• When using the switched 12 V terminal, the modem can typically be
powered with a BP12 battery, CH100 charger/regulator, and MSX10 solar
panel.
5. Program the Raven100 Modem
The following software is used to program the modem:
Airlink's SetupWizard, which provisions and activates the modem.
Airlink's Wireless Ace 3G, which is used to configure settings in the modem
and load Campbell Scientific's Raven CDMA template file. The Setup Wizard
and Wireless Ace 3G utilities are available from Airlink’s website
(
www.airlink.com/support ). The CD that ships with the modem includes the
Wireless Ace 3G utility (but not the Setup Wizard) and the Airlink manuals.
Campbell Scientific’s “Raven CDMA Template 115200” file is for dataloggers
that support 115200 baud (e.g. CR1000), the “Raven CDMA Template 9600”
file is for dataloggers that support a maximum baud rate of 9600 (e.g. CR10X).
The template file configures the modem to be compatible with CSI dataloggers.
Template files are available from Campbell Scientific’s Website:

5.1 Setup Wizard Installation
The Setup Wizard is used to provision and test the modem, and perform
firmware updates where necessary.
The Setup Wizard utility is available from AirLink
(http://www.airlink.com/support). Once the application has been installed, it
can be run from the Windows Start menu or from the desktop icon.
5.2 Using the Setup Wizard to Provision and Activate the
Modem
1. Connect the modem to the computer’s serial port using a serial cable.
2. Connect the power cable to 12 V, and the antenna to the modem.
3. Run the Setup Wizard from the Windows Start menu (Start>All
Programs>AirLink Communications>Setup Wizard>Setup Wizard).
