RavenXTV CDMA Sierra Wireless Cellular Modem
5. Program the RavenXTV Modem
Use the following software to program the modem for use with your
datalogger.
AceManager is used to configure settings in the modem and to load the
Campbell Scientific Raven CDMA template file. The AceManager utility is
available from Sierra Wireless’s website (
www.sierrawireless.com/support ).
The CD that ships with the modem also includes AceManager and Sierra
Wireless manuals.
Campbell Scientific’s “Raven CDMA Template 115200” file is for dataloggers
that support 115200 baud (e.g. CR1000), the “Raven CDMA Template 9600”
file is for dataloggers that support a maximum baud rate of 9600 (e.g. CR10X).
The template file configures the modem to be compatible with CSI dataloggers.
Template files are available from Campbell Scientific’s Website:

Indicator Lights
When your RavenXTV is connected to power and an antenna, there is a
specific pattern to the lights to indicate its operation mode.
•
Network —Indicates a successful connection to the cellular network with
an IP address given and a channel acquired.
•
Signal —Light shows the strength of the signal and may be nearly solid
(strong signal) or flashing (weaker signal). A slow flash indicates a very
weak signal.
•
Activity —Lights will flash as data is transferred to and from the PinPoint
modem on the remote network.
•
Power —Indicates the power adapter is connected and there is power
getting to the RavenXTV.
•
The Reset button (on the left side of the RavenXTV) has two functions.
If it is quickly depressed and released, the modem will simply power cycle
the internal hardware. If, however, the reset is depressed and held for
several seconds (count 10 slowly, and wait for the power light to go off
after the light pattern stops), the ALEOS configuration settings will return
to the factory defaults.
