LS300G GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HSPA+ Sierra Wireless Cellular Modem
7.4 Power Considerations
The LS300G uses considerably more power than cellular
modems previously offered by Campbell Scientific, Inc. and
will require a larger power supply, switching power with the
datalogger, or a combination of these to ensure the battery
is not drained.
A power cable included with the modem connects to the datalogger 12V or
switched 12V terminal. Connection to the switched 12V terminal allows the
datalogger to switch power to the modem during scheduled transmission
intervals if desired. See Appendix A, Controlling Power to the LS300G
(p. A-1),
for switched 12V program examples. Connect the red and white lead wires to
12V for constant power and to SW12 for program-controlled power, and the
black lead to G (ground). The green wire lead is not necessary and can be
removed or insulated.
When using the switched 12V terminal, the modem can typically be powered
with a BP12 battery, CH150 charger/regulator, and SP10 solar panel.
7.5 AceManager and Template Files
Section 4, Quickstart (p. 2), describes how to set up the LS300G in serial server
mode using DevConfig. AceManager along with template files can be used to
set up the LS300G in serial server mode or PPP.
AceManager is accessed via a web browser. For initial setup or
troubleshooting with a direct (cabled) connection, connect a standard Ethernet
(RJ45) cable between the Ethernet port on the PC and that on the modem.
Type http://192.168.13.31:9191 into a web browser.
Once the modem is provisioned on the network, it may be accessed over the air
by typing http:// followed by the IP address (dynamic or static) of the modem,
followed by the port :9191.
The first screen is a login (shown below). The default password is 12345 and it
is strongly recommended to leave it as the default. If security is of concern,
contact a Campbell Scientific application engineer to discuss options.
