If this programming is not used, it is possible that the remote modem may lose its configuration.
  • Page 29: Program Example 1

    9522B Iridium Satellite Modem and COM9522B Interface Modem Program Example 1 In example 1, the station is a solar powered site where power management is a concern. Modem power is controlled by the COM9522B via control port 1. During this time, the modem is sent its configuration via the RS-232 port and the remainder of the time is used for actual communications.
  • Page 30: Program Example 2

    During this time, the modem is sent its configuration via the CS I/O port and the remainder of the time is used for actual communications. For details on programming for the CR10X, contact Campbell Scientific. Please note that the interface between the CR10X and the COM9522B requires the use of SC932A CS I/O to RS-232 DCE interface.
  • Page 31: Troubleshooting Tools And Tips

    9522B Iridium Satellite Modem and COM9522B Interface Modem Troubleshooting Tools and Tips Problem: I have intermittent successful connections between the remote and base station modem. The signal strength is weak and the data transfer speeds are slow. Solution: The antenna may not have a complete 180° view of the sky. Some objects and debris such as snow and trees can interfere with communications.

  • Page 33: Sample Data Transfer Calculations

    Appendix A. Sample Data Transfer Calculations The calculations below are based upon maximum theoretical NOTE throughputs. Real world transmission times for the Iridium Satellite Network have proven to be as much as twice as slow. When transmitting the data back from the station, the power consumption of the modem must be taken into account in order to avoid excessive discharge of the battery power supply.
  • Page 34 Appendix A. Sample Data Transfer Calculations Power Calculation When configuring a power supply (that is, solar panel and battery) NOTE for a remote station, it is essential to design with the worst case scenario in mind. This will help to ensure that the station will perform as expected.

    Appendix B. Hardware Installation The hardware shown in this appendix consists only of hardware listed in TABLE 1-1. Although it may be possible to use other hardware, it will not be addressed in this appendix. WARNING Do not connect power to either modem until installation is complete, as damage to the equipment may occur.

    The modem installation should employ the following steps: Secure the #30627 mount to the 9522B interface. Secure this assembly in the enclosure in an appropriate location. Be sure to keep in mind all cable runs (that is, antenna, power/control, and interface).
  • Page 39: Unlocking A Sim Card

    To unlock the Iridium SIM card permanently using the Iridium Handset, follow these instructions. Install the SIM card. Attach the antenna and 9522B interface. Attach the handset as required. Apply power to the modem. The handset will request the PIN number before proceeding. Once you enter the PIN number (default 1111), the modem will register itself.
  • Page 40 Appendix C. Unlocking a SIM Card The next step is to enter the PIN code for the SIM card. AT+CPIN=”1111” <Enter> The modem should respond with an “OK” which means the PIN code has been accepted. This explanation assumes that the default code of “1111” is being used.
