Using cell modem terminal functionality

NOTE:

This functionality is available in all CRBasic data loggers with a CS I/O port.

Downloadable example programs are available at www.campbellsci.com/downloads/cell200-example-programs . See the CELL2XX-Settings program for details on setting up an attached CELL200-series module using the terminal functionality in the module. The program examples also illustrates how to use the same functionality to retrieve status information from the CELL200 series and put the module into low power mode.

To use the terminal functionality of the module, you must enable the terminal port. To do this:

  1. Connect a USB cable between your module and computer.

  2. Connect the cellular antenna if it is not already connected. When using a ClosedMIMO Multiple-input, multiple-output antenna antenna with multiple cellular connections, connect the primary cable to Primary, Primary Antenna, or Antenna and the secondary to Diversity or Diversity Antenna (depending on the label). If the cables are not marked in this way, they can be connected to either antenna port. See Antenna connections.

  3. Open a web browser and go to: cell.linktodevice.com .

    TIP:

    If this doesn't work browse to 192.168.86.1.

  1. On the Settings | Advanced tab, set the Terminal Port CS I/O SDC Address. (It must be set to a different address than the one used for the CS I/O Port SDC Address.)

  2. Click Apply Changes.
