1. General Description

This manual provides information for interfacing the Sierra Wireless Raven

XT-Telus cellular modem to Campbell Scientific dataloggers. A Sierra

Wireless CD ships with the modem that includes Sierra Wireless manuals and

software utilities. Sierra Wireless manuals referenced in this manual include:

The Raven XT-Telus digital cellular modems are manufactured by Sierra

Wireless for use on the Telus Wireless Code Division Multiple Access

(CDMA)/1xRTT networks. The modem is accessed through the Internet using

TCP/IP communications protocol using a Dynamic or Static IP address.

xA Dynamic IP address is assigned on a “need to have” basis. A dynamic

IP address is used with a service such as IP Manager (Section 5.4) to

translate domain name to a dynamic IP address, so that the Raven can be

contacted by name as if it had a static IP.

xA Static IP address is permanently assigned to a particular account and

will always be used whenever the Raven connects to the Internet.

A Telus account can be setup for a Dynamic or Static IP address; a Dynamic IP

is preferred. Generally, there is an associated monthly customer charge to use

a Static IP account. Please ask your service provider for details on the monthly

charge for static IP.

2. Establish Cellular Service

2.1 Raven XT-Telus Cellular Coverage/Service Requirements

What you need:

Determine coverage at the datalogger site for your chosen service provider.

Coverage maps are available on each providers website. It is also possible to

search for “Canadian cellular tower maps” for information on tower locations

and possible coverage.

CDMA/1xRTT Dynamic IP or Static IP account established with Telus

Wireless. Telus’s Broadband Access Plan is recommended.

To setup an account you will need the ESN number of the modem. The ESN

number is listed on a label on the modem, and also on the box.

PC running Campbell Scientifics’ LoggerNet or PC400 software, with access

to the internet.

4.2 Datalogger Site Equipment

xRaven modem with power cable (included with modem).

xDatalogger—21X, CR510, CR10(X), CR23X, CR7, CR1000, CR5000,

CR3000, CR800.

xSC105 or SC932A Interface—connects the modem to the 21X, CR510,

CR10(X), CR7, or other dataloggers’ CS I/O port.

xThe SC105 must be configured for use with the modem using the Device

Configuration Utility. Settings should be:

CS I/O Mode: SDC Address 7

RS-232 Mode: Modem

Baud Rate: 115.2K or 9600 baud depending on datalogger model

8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity

xPN L18663 Null Modem Cable—connects the modem to the CR23X,

CR3000, CR800, CR2XX, CR1000 or CR5000 RS-232 port.

If you have a black SC12 cable that is not Rev 1 or newer (as

indicated on cable), it is a CS I/O cable only and will not work

for RS-232. Connect the black SC12 cable between the

datalogger and the SC932A. Use a 9-pin serial cable or a blue

ribbon cable between the phone and the SC932A.
