3. Overview

The CELL200-series modules may be configured in one of five ways, depending on the data
logger, communications type, and needs of the user.
Integrated: The module mimics the behavior of our integrated cell modems. No settings
l
are configured directly in the module. All settings are configured in the attached data
logger.
Non-integrated: The module mimics the behavior of our older cellular modems. Settings
l
must be configured in both the module and the data logger.
Serial Server: In this mode, the module receives IP communications over the cellular
l
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.
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.
Serial Client: Use this mode when the module is behind a cellular provider firewall and it
l
has a private dynamic IP address. In serial client mode the module will connect to the
cellular network and initiate a TCP client socket connection.
Serial Server/Client: In serial server/client mode the module connects to the cellular
l
network and opens a listening port. When a client connects to the listening port, the
CELL200 series will be in "Serial Server" mode, as described earlier. When no client is
connected to the listening port, the CELL200 series will be in "Serial Client" mode, as
described earlier, and all data on the active port will be sent and received through the
initiated TCP client socket connection.
Data loggers compatible with each mode are shown in the following table.
