5.1  Using AceManager to Configure the Modem 

After the Raven has been provisioned, certain settings have to be changed for 
the modem to be compatible with CSI dataloggers.  The recommended way to 
change the settings is to send a template file to the modem using the 
AceManager utility.   

The AceManager utility is on the CD that ships with the Raven modem, and is 
also available from Sierra Wireless (

http://www.sierrawireless.com/support

).   

To install AceManager from the Sierra Wireless CD, click on the 
“AceManager” link under Modem Utilities and follow the prompts.  Once the 
application has been installed, it can be run from the Windows Start menu, or 
from the icon on the desktop. 

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: 

www.campbellsci.com/downloads

.

 

Connect the Raven to a COM port on the PC with a direct RS-232 cable.  Also 
connect the antenna, and 12V power.
