When doing datalogger-to-datalogger communications with

the COM220, if more than six rings are specified, the

datalogger may time out before the modem answers;

communication will never be established! Be sure to try the

setup locally before installing at a remote location.

A.3 Downloading a New Operating System to the

COM220

To download a new operating system to the COM220, follow these steps:

1) You must use an SC532 or an SC532A interface to communicate with the

modem. Connect the PC port (called RS232 on the SC532) to a serial port

on your computer via an RS232 cable. Leave the modem disconnected for

now.

2) Make sure that you have the appropriate serial port selected in the left

panel of the Device Configuration Utility window.

3) Click the Start button.

4) In the resulting file-open dialogue box that appears, select the file that

should be sent as the modem’s operating system.

Do not attempt to load

any operating system other than that designed for the COM220

modem.

5) Once you have pressed OK in the file-open dialogue box, connect the

peripheral port on the SC532 or SC532A to the CS I/O port on the modem

with an SC12 cable. If using an SC532, you will also have to apply 12 V

to the COM220 via a green connector attached to a power supply. If using

an SC532A device, power will be provided to the modem by the 12-V

adapter connected to the SC532A.

You must highlight/select the operating system file to be sent

BEFORE applying power to the COM220.

6) The program should now send the operating system to the modem.

Interrupting this process may corrupt the modem operating system.
