Redwing100 and Redwing105 AirLink CDMA Modems

1. Introduction

Redwing modems are full-duplex, digital cellular modems that communicate with a base station PC via Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network and Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Redwing100 modems are for use on the Verizon network only. Redwing105 modems are for use on the Alltel network.

2. Specifications

2.1 Base Station Requirements

PC with Hayes-compatible modem, running Campbell Scientific’s LoggerNet or PC400 software.
Subscription to the Verizon CDMA network with coverage at the datalogger site.

2.2 Datalogger Site Equipment

Redwing modem—includes power cable; the modem is configured using the CellSet.exe program
Datalogger—CR510, CR10(X), CR23X, CR7, CR5000, or CR2XX
SC105 or SC932A Interface—connects the modem to the CR510,
CR10(X), or CR7 dataloggers’ CS I/O port
14392 Null Modem Cable—connects the modem to the CR23X, CR2XX, or CR5000 RS-232 port
14394 Redwing Mounting Kit—includes mounting hardware for securing the modem to below referenced environmental enclosure and a 9-pin male to 9-pin female cable.
Antenna—the following antennas are available from Campbell Scientific; sites near the edge of the CDMA coverage may require the Yagi antenna. Contact a CSI applications engineer for help in determining the best antenna for your application.
o 14453 0 dBd ½ Wave Dipole Whip Cellular Antenna
o 14454 8 dBd Yagi Cellular Antenna with 10' Cable
Power Supply (see power considerations)
Environmental Enclosure— ENC 10/12, ENC 12/14, or ENC 16/18

2.3 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 be powered with a BP12 battery, CH100 charger/regulator, and MSX10 solar panel.

3. Configuration

3.1 Establish Cellular Service

Prior to contacting Verizon (Redwing100) or Alltel (Redwing105), have the following information on hand:
1. Electronic Serial Number (ESN). The ESN is found on the unit label.
2. Desired area code and local prefix. Normally, choose the same area code and prefix as the calling PC. These will ensure that calls are billed at local rates, even if the phone is used outside the local calling area.
Contact the provider, tell the account representative that you would like to open an account for a new voice phone. Request a voice plan similar to Verizon’s America’s Choice 400 Plan. Ask that voice mail NOT be activated.
The provider will provide you with the following:
1. A 10-digit phone number.
2. System ID (SID). You may need to ask for this.

3.2 Program the Modem

Program the modem with CELLSET.EXE, available from Campbell Scientific, Inc. The appendix describes how to program the modem via a terminal emulator; however, programming via a terminal emulator is NOT recommended.
1. Connect the phone to your computer COM port.
2. Apply 12 volts to the phone. Red lead to +, black lead to -.
3. Start CELLSET.EXE and enter the 10-digit phone number to be programmed into the phone.
4. Enter the SID. If you do not have the SID, try entering zero.
5. For CR10(X), CR510, CR7, 21X, or CR200 dataloggers, set the baud rate to 9600. For CR23X or CR5000 dataloggers, set the baud rate to 38400.
6. Press “Set Settings” button to program the phone.

3.3 Setup LoggerNet

1. Select Add Root | TapiPort.
2. Add a TapiRemote to the TapiPort.
3. Add a datalogger to the TapiRemote.
4. On the TapiPort page, select your installed modem on the Tapi Line.
5. On the TapiRemote un-check “Use Tapi Dialing Properties.“
6. Enter the phone number of the CDMA phone.
7. Apply the changes and test.

NOTE
If you have a black SC12 cable, that is not Rev 1 or newer, 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.

Appendix A. Configuring Modem with a Terminal Emulator

NOTE
Programming the modem with a terminal emulator is not recommended. Please first attempt programming with the CELLSET.EXT program available from Campbell Scientific, Inc.
Items needed:
Computer with a COM port.
9-pin cable to connect between the computer and the Redwing.
A terminal program on the computer “HyperTerminal”.
12 volt DC applied to the Redwing.
CDMA account

A.1 HyperTerminal Setup

Under “Connect using”, select the COM port you will be using.
Set COM Properties to:
Bits per second (baud) = 115200 Data bits = 8 Parity = None Stop bits = 1 Flow control = None
A-1
Appendix A. Configuring Modem with a Terminal Emulator
Apply power to the modem and connect it to the computer via the 9-pin serial cable.
Enter the following AT command: at+ipr=9600 and then press Enter.
This has now changed the baud rate from 115200 to 9600. You need to change the baud rate in HyperTeminal to 9600 now. At the top of the HyperTerminal window select Call | Disconnect. Select File | Properties | Configure. Change the baud rate to 9600. Select OK. Select Call | Call.

A.2 Programming the Redwing’s Phone Number

Your provider should give you a Phone number and a System Identification (SID) number to program into the Redwing.
Do the following substituting the phone number and SID with yours:
(Example Phone number - 4355551212, SID - 134)
Type AT~NAMLCK=000000 then press Enter.
Type AT~NAMVAL=0,4355551212,134,65535 then press Enter.
NOTE
There are no O’s in the above strings, they are Zero’s.
Remove the power from the Redwing and power it up again.
You can type AT~NAMVAL?0 to make sure your phone was programmed correctly.

Appendix A. Configuring Modem with a Terminal Emulator
A.3 Programming the Redwing for Use with a
Datalogger
The Redwing needs a few settings changed in it to power-up ready to work with the datalogger.
Enter the following:
Type AT+ATINIT=&C1&D0S0=1$QCVAD=4%+IFC=0^0,C,%,^ then press Enter.
Type AT+ATINITSTATE=1 then press Enter.
NOTE
In the above strings, all “0” = zero.
Remove the power from the modem and power it up again. It should be ready to use. Test the communications before deploying the modem.
