Appendix A.  AceManager Setup 
without Template File 

AceManager is used to program settings in the Raven XT modems to make the 
modems compatible with CSI dataloggers.  Sierra Wireless CDMA and GPRS 
template files to send the modems are available on the CSC website 
(

http://www.campbellsci.ca/download

).  The procedure for sending the 

template files is described in Section 5.2.   

When the template files are not available, AceManager can be used to change 
the settings described below. 

For a direct connection on a COM port use PPP and appropriate Com Port. 

 

Make a note of the Device port (*DPORT).  The default is 12345 and we use 
6785  in our templates.  Any valid port can be used.  This is the port number 
used in LoggerNet to get to the datalogger.
