Raven XT-Telus CDMA Sierra Wireless Cellular Modem
b.
Try adding a few seconds to the extra response time on the IP Port in
LoggerNet (you should not need more than 5 seconds).
c.
If you are trying to communicate to a PakBus datalogger:
i.
Verify the PakBus address in the setup screen matches that of the
datalogger.
ii.
If you have multiple PakBus networks/ports setup in LoggerNet,
uncheck the ‘PakBus Port Always Open’ options on all PakBus
ports.
3.
Use AceManager to check modem communications with datalogger.
The modem’s “Host Serial Bytes Sent” and “Host Serial Bytes Received”
windows can indicate whether or not the modem is communicating with the
datalogger.
Establish a connection with the modem through the cellular network using
AceManager (click on the Modem menu item, Connect, UDP. Enter the IP
address, and click OK). Go to the Status group and note the “Host Serial Bytes
Sent” and “Host Serial Bytes Received” values (Figure 7-2). Try connecting
with the datalogger using LoggerNet/PC400W. If a connection cannot be
established, close LoggerNet and reconnect with AceManager and compare the
current values with the previous values.
If the values are the same, the modem is not attempting to make a connection
with the datalogger. Check that the .xml template file has been loaded (Section
5.3).
If the “Host Serial Bytes Sent” increased, the modem attempted to connect to
the datalogger, but the response from the datalogger did not make it back to the
modem. Check the interface between the modem and the datalogger (Section
4.2).
If both values incremented, the modem and the datalogger are communicating.
Try adding some extra response time in LoggerNet.
Baud rate changes require the modem to be reset before the
change takes affect. Click the Reset icon in AceManager to the
reset the modem and implement the change.
