Using with Campbell Scientific Dataloggers
•
Check the modem was configured correctly.
•
Check you have set the correct APN, username and password.
•
Double check with your airtime provider that the SIM is GPRS enabled.
•
Check the datalogger operating system is up to date.
If the datalogger has firmware version 22 onwards additional information is
provided in the IPInfo field of the status table that can be used to track progress of
PPP connection. The information is shown at the end of the address messages
after the "ppp gw:..." information. This field can be monitored with the Device
Configuration program, or in the Table monitor of the Connect client of
Loggernet. Either of those programs only update every second, at best, which
may not be fast enough as some of the information messages displayed are
transitory. To get a faster update of the message you need to use the numeric
monitor screen and show the IPInfo field alone. You can decrease the update
interval below 1 second. You can also increase the field width to see the whole
message.
