CS-3G Digital Transceiver Kits (including the COM111 modem)
24
Setup – Connection Control – Konect Router/Dynamic:
where the data logger has a
dynamic address and calls-back automatically to the Konect Router service. This allows one
or more copies on the internet to connect to that logger via the routing service (contact
Campbell Scientific Ltd for more details).
Setup – Settings - Datalogger port:
allows you to select the serial port on the data logger to
which the modem will be connected. For the CS-3G this will normally either be the RS232
port or a CS I/O SDC port, when using the SC105.
Setup Settings (for IP connection) – APN:
the access point name provided by your SIM
provider. This points the system to a server through which is accesses the GPRS/3G service.
Setup Settings (for IP connection) – User ID:
the user name provided by your SIM provider
to allow access to their service. Sometimes this is blank or a common name for all users.
Setup Settings (for IP connection) – Password:
the password provided by your SIM
provider to allow access to their service. Sometimes this is blank or a common for all users.
Setup Settings (for IP connection) – Listening port:
when set to listen for an incoming
connection, this is the port which the logger or modem will listen on for incoming connections
(the logger has a default of 6785).
Setup Settings (for IP connection) – Call-back port:
this is shown when the logger is
calling back to a server. This is the port on the server to which the logger should try and
connect to.
Setup Settings (for IP connection) – Call-back address:
this is shown when the logger is
calling back to a server. Enter the public IP address or domain name of the loggernet server
(or the router its traffic is being routed through).
Setup Settings (for IP connection) – Konect port:
this is shown when the logger is calling
back to the Konect routing service. This is port with be given to you when you sign up for the
service.
Setup Settings (for IP connection) – Konect address:
this is shown when the logger is
calling back to the Konect routing service. This is address or URL given to you when you
sign up for the service.
Setup Settings (for IP connection, Modem IP Stack ) – Idle Time
: if a connection has been
opened to the modem and there is no traffic for this period the modem will close the socket
connection as it may be erroneous or faulty.
Setup Settings (for IP connection, Modem IP Stack) – Reset interval:
shown where the
modem is set to listen for connections. If no connection is made within this time the modem
will reset the connection to remake the GPRS link, in case that link is faulty. If the
connections to the modem are less frequent than the default time of 60 mins then increase this
time – at the possible cost of the extra time it will take to recover a bad connection.
Setup Settings (for IP connection, Modem IP Stack) – Max Time Online:
limits the
maximum time the call-back socket is opened for. This is useful for resetting ‘broken’
connections that can be held open forever otherwise. This can be disabled by setting it to “0”
which may be done if the modem is reset by regular power cycling.
Setup Settings (for IP connection, Mode) –
This settings allows you to force the modem to
force connections to the network to only be made in 2G (GSM/GPRS) or 3G modes.
Normally this is left in automatic mode where the modem will try and negotiate the fastest
connection possible.
