Test The Connection; Serial Server Mode Option - Campbell CELL205 Product Manual

6.4.2.5 Test the connection

After the Network Map has been configured, test the cellular connection by using the Connect
screen as shown in the following image. Click on the appropriate station and click Connect to
initiate a call to the data logger.
TIP:
The connection time is subject to many external factors. It is often less than 30 seconds but
could be up to fifteen minutes. Be patient.
If the call is successful, the connectors at the bottom of the screen will come together and clock
information from the data logger will be displayed in the Station Date/Time field. If the
connection fails, a Communications Failure message will be displayed.

6.4.3 Serial server mode option

In serial server mode, the module receives IP communications over the cellular network and
converts those to serial communications to pass on to the data logger. From the perspective of
the data logger, this is no different than a serial cable connecting it to a computer.
This is the mode used with CR200-Series and Edlog (CR23X, CR10X, and CR510) data loggers, and
cellular-to-RF networks. Only one IP connection at a time is supported.
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.
