RavenXTG GPRS/EDGE Sierra Wireless Cellular Modem
4.4 Power Considerations
A power cable included with the modem connects to the datalogger’s 12 V or
switched 12 V terminal. Connection to the switched 12 V terminal allows the
datalogger to switch power to the modem during scheduled transmission
intervals if desired. Connect the red lead wire to 12 V for constant power and
to SW12 for program-controlled power, and the black lead to G (ground). The
white wire lead has no function and can be ignored.
When using the switched 12 V terminal, the modem can typically be powered
with a BP12 battery, CH100 charger/regulator, and SP10 solar panel.
4.5 Automatic Provisioning (Activation)
It is recommended that the modem be provisioned and tested in
the office (assuming there is cellular coverage) rather than in the
field.
NOTE
One of the special features of your RavenXTG is the ability to activate itself
automatically. When you first power on the RavenXTG, it will check to see if
it has been activated with account data. If it finds that it has not yet been
activated, the RavenXTG will attempt to retrieve the account data from the
AT&T network using Over-the-Air Service Provisioning (OTASP).
You need to have an account with AT&T before you
attempt automatic activation. If you have not ordered an
account from AT&T for your RavenXTG, it will not succeed
at activating.
CAUTION
1.
Attach the antenna to your RavenXTG.
2.
Plug the RavenXTG into power.
3.
While the LED lights cycle from the outside to the inside, the RavenXTG
is attempting to download its account information. The download process
may take one to two minutes to complete.
Do not move your RavenXTG while it is being
programmed.
CAUTION
4.
When the Network lights illuminate, your RavenXTG has successfully
completed OTASP and is registered on the AT&T network.
