Modem

1. General Description

This manual provides information for interfacing the AirLink Raven110
cellular modem to Campbell Scientific dataloggers. An AirLink CD ships with
the modem that includes AirLink manuals and software utilities. AirLink
manuals referenced in this manual include:

WirelessAce3G_UserGuide2.00.pdf
AT&T/Cingular_EDGE-GPRS_Raven_UserGuide2.20.pdf
AT&T/Cingular_EDGE-GPRS_Raven_QSG2.01.pdf

The Raven110 digital cellular modem is manufactured by AirLink for use on
the AT&T/Cingular General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network. The
modem is accessed through the Internet using TCP/IP communications
protocol using a Static or Dynamic IP address.

• A Static IP address is permanently assigned to a particular account and

will always be used whenever the Raven connects to the Internet.

• A Dynamic IP address is assigned on a “need to have” basis. A dynamic

IP address is used with a service such as IP Manager (Section 5) to
translate a dynamic IP address to a domain name, so that the Raven can be
contacted as if it had a static IP.

An AT&T/Cingular GPRS account can be setup for a Static or Dynamic IP
address.
