TELULAR SX5 SERIES PHONE CELL & XPERT2/9210B SPEECH MODEM (OR 8210-3014 MODEM)
1
1. OVERVIEW
The Telular PhoneCell SX5 series is a tri-mode (CDMA/GSM/PCS/AMPS)
cellular modem capable of supporting Voice, FAX and Data operation.
Analog Speech Voice operation is supported in all modes. This makes
the Telular PhoneCell best suited for applications requiring voice
announcements of weather related sensor conditions or alarm voice
announcements to a destination phone connection.
The Telular PhoneCell is a fixed wireless terminal (FWT).
These FWT
devices are based on Telular’s proprietary RJ-11 to cellular interface
technologies. This allows connection to the Sutron XPert Voice Modem
(P/N-8080-0005-1) using a standard RJ-11 cable connection. This same
connection idea will work with the 8210-3014 together with the Sutron
supplied RJ11 pigtail interface connector for the side terminal strip on
the 8210.
Data operations with the Phonecell are dependent on several factors
including your local cellular service provider. Because most
CDMA/TDMA and PCS networks do not support digital fax and data services, AMPS 800 MHz networks
or AMPS 800 MHz channels on TDMA 800 MHz networks are used for fax and data services. Contact
your local cellular dealer or service provider to determine the availability of an AMPS analog network.
Other cellular products are best suited for data only applications.
The Sutron XPert Voice Modem will allow voice communication with the XPert and XLite 9210 Data
Loggers. User’s may dial in and obtain real-time readings via voice reports. Voice reports of alarm
conditions previously defined by the user can be transmitted to up to three different phone numbers
by the XPert or XLite dialing out using the Phonecell FWT.
While the FWT can use either the Sutron XPert, 9210 XLite Data Logger or the 8210-3014 speech
modem equipped data logger, the two sections below are based (section 3)on the use of the 9210
XLite or (section4) the 8210 unit. The following sections present:
