3.1.3 Konect PakBus Router setup

3.1.1 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.

Private dynamic IP addresses are standard with Telstra SIMs if no additional services have been

provisioned on the account by a Telstra partner.

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.

Before installing a data logging system with telemetry, you will need a SIM card and data plan.

For most applications, Telstra will offer the best coverage, especially in regional areas. Telstra and

Optus coverage maps can be found on each provider's respective websites.

The CELL220 and CR300-CELL220 will work with standard data plans. No extra steps are necessary

because of the complimentary Konect Pakbus Router service. A micro-SIM (3FF) is the correct size

for use with the CELL220.

1. Remove the SIM card cover.

2. Note the location of the notched corner for correct alignment. The gold contact points of

the SIM face down when inserting the SIM card as shown in the following figure. Gently

slide the card into the slot until it stops and locks into place. To eject the SIM card, press it

in slightly and release.

3. Replace the SIM card cover.
