and data logger operating system (OS).
Updating the OS during system setup and testing, or onsite is recommended. Sending an OS
to a remote data logger will interrupt the data logger program. If you have questions, contact
Campbell Scientific for assistance (https://www.campbellsci.com/support).
2.1 Establish cellular service
For better security, we recommend using Konect PakBus® Router with a private dynamic IP
address. This method allows only incoming PakBus communication. No other incoming
communication is supported. However, all forms of outbound communication from the data
logger are supported, including but not limited to PakBus, email, and ftp.
A public static IP address can also be used. This provides more incoming communication
functionality, but is less secure and more vulnerable to unsolicited traffic.
NOTE:
A public static IP account must be used when the module is set up in serial server mode.
Private dynamic IP accounts do not support the serial server mode.
2.1.1 Campbell Scientific cellular data service
Campbell Scientific can provide subscriptions to cellular service through Verizon, AT&T,
T-Mobile, Vodafone, Telstra, and over 600 other providers worldwide. When this cellular service
is purchased with the module, the module will come pre-provisioned with the required SIM card
and APN. If you have already purchased the CELL200 series, call Campbell Scientific to set up
service.
2.1.2 Other service providers
While using Campbell Scientific is the simplest way to obtain cellular data service for your
module, you can go directly to a provider. For more information on obtaining service directly
from Verizon and AT&T, see

Prepaid cellular data plans may experience service slow downs when data limits are reached.
