RavenXTV CDMA Sierra Wireless

Cellular Modem

1. General Description

This manual provides information for interfacing the Sierra Wireless

RavenXTV 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:

AceManagerGuide.pdf

Raven_XT_UserGuide.pdf

Raven_XT_QuickStart.pdf

The RavenXTV digital cellular modem is manufactured by Sierra Wireless for

use on the Verizon Wireless Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)/1xRTT

network. The modem is accessed through the Internet using TCP/IP

communications protocol using a Static or Dynamic IP address.

•A Static IP address is permanently assigned to a particular account and

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

•A 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 5.2) 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.

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

is preferred. Generally, there is a one-time per customer charge to activate a

Static IP account. Once activated, additional Static IP accounts may be added

at no additional charge.

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

•The 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

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.
