receives IP communications over the cellular network and converts those to serial (RS-232)
communications to pass on to the data logger. From the data logger perspective, this is no
different than a serial cable connecting it to a computer. For information on configuring the
RV50(X) in serial-server mode, see
2. Precautions
READ AND UNDERSTAND the
(p. iii) section at the front of this manual.
CAUTION:
This device uses considerably more power than the data logger, see
(p. 24). It
may require a larger power supply, switching power with the data logger, or a combination of
these to ensure the battery is not drained. See
Controlling power to the RV50(X)
(p. 43) for
program examples of using switched 12V to control power to the RV50(X).
We strongly recommend changing the default RV50(X) ACEmanager password to prevent
unauthorized access and the potential of malware infection. The password can be changed from
the ACEmanager Admin tab.
WARNING:
Failure to set a strong password in the RV50(X) may result in misuse of the modem by
malware or hackers.
