1.4.1 Setting up a Cellular Modem Account
A 3100-iSIC must be programmed before it can begin sending environmental data back to an
iChart database. Most of the time an account can be setup before the 3100-iSIC is delivered. In
this case, NexSens will preprogram and test the cellular account for you; which means it is ready
to work as soon as it is received.
To setup a cellular account:
1. Make sure there is cellular coverage where the 3100-iSIC will be deployed, and choose a
cellular provider. The best method is to test the location with a cellular phone to make sure
you can send and receive calls. An additional first check of coverage in the area can be
performed online:

2. Contact a service provider in your area:
Special Note: No matter which carrier is chosen, the account must
be setup as an “unrestricted, mobile terminated, static IP address”
as this allows iChart software to connect to the modem
 Unrestricted allows the device general Internet access.
 Static Public IP gives the 3100-iSIC a single custom APN, which
gives it an address that other devices and computers can use to
communicate with it.
 Mobile-terminated data allows connections to be made from iChart
to the 3100-iSIC.
See the “Static or Dynamic IP Addresses” section for more
information on the APN.
