Page 20: Dynamic Vs. Static Ip Addresses
Introduction to the Raven Figure 1-8: Connecting to the Internet The Raven will perform a one‐to‐one routing for all internet traffic to and from the computer or other end device. One‐to‐ one means that your Raven will provide a connection for one device to the Internet at a time. In Private Mode, the Raven will provide NAT (Network Address Translation) for the computer or other end device. Note: The Raven does not provide advanced routing required by one- to-many (several devices connected to one port). If you need to have more than one device connected to the Internet through your Raven, you will need to have a router connected to the modem.
Page 21: Communication
Introduction to the Raven address for your modem, you can use a Dynamic DNS service (such as IP Manager) to translate your IP address into to a domain name. Caution: If you want to connect remotely to your Raven using TCP/ IP, the IP address given to your modem by TELUS cannot be a private or internal IP address (such asspecial private network) unless you are on the same network or inside that network’s firewall (such as with frame relay).

Type ATE1V1 and press Enter. If you get a reply of “OK”, then you entered the command successfully. If you get a reply of “0” or “ERROR”, try entering the command again. AT Commands When using a terminal application, you will need to manually type in each command. • For most commands, when you are entering them using a terminal connection, you will need to preface the command with AT (exceptions are noted), i.e. ATA which is listed as A. • Some commands have specific parameters while other commands will take whatever you type. • Required variable parameters are denoted with italicized text, example, Dn. The n is variable. • Acceptable parameters and/or specific formats are listed with each command. • Most commands with parameters can be entered with ? to read the current value (for example, AT&D? will respond with “2” if the default has not been changed). • Optional parameters are denoted with square brackets [ ]. • AT Commands are not case sensitive. A capital “E” is the same as a lower‐case “e”. • When you are using a terminal connection, if you enter a command which is recognized by the Raven, it will ...
Page 55: Data Communication And Host Modes
6: Data Communication and Host Modes • Basic Modes • Serial Modes • Data Communication The Raven plays the part of a HOST when a computer or another device is connected directly to its port and routes data to/from the connected device to the cellular network. Caution: The Raven moves data from one port to the cellular network in a simple one-to-one routing. It does not employ a routing table or any complicated routing protocol.
Page 56: Data Communication
Data Communication and Host Modes • UDP and UDP PAD: Any data received on the serial port is assembled into UDP packets and sent to the session’s associated IP address and Port (described later). Any responses received from the associated IP address and port destined for the Device Port are unwrapped and sent out the serial port. • TCP and TCP PAD: Any data received on the serial port is packaged into TCP messages and sent to the associated connection’s IP address and Port (described later). Any data received from the TCP peer is unwrapped and sent out the serial. Data Communication • Public and Private Modes: The method used by the Raven to pass an IP address to a connected device. • Keepalive: How the Raven maintains its connection to the cellular network. Basic Modes Start up Mode The serial port of the Raven can be configured to enter any of the modes automatically on power up (in most cases, this is also after it has registered on the cellular network). This is done by setting the Startup Mode Default to the desired mode. If this setting is non‐zero, the modem will enter the specified mode after 5 seconds. If you want to cancel this behavior, the ATMD0 command can be used before the 5‐second time‐out expires. You can configure the Startup Mode in AceManager at part of the UDP group.
Page 57: At Mode
Data Communication and Host Modes If the serial port of the Raven is in any mode other than AT or PassThru, the AT command mode can be re‐entered by: • Deactivating DTR (if &D2 or Ignore DTR, S211, is not set). • Issuing the +++ escape sequence (if Disable AT Escape, DAE, is not set). • Resetting or Power cycling the modem. Note: DTR needs to be asserted (S211=1 or &D0) by the host before PPP Mode, SLIP Mode, UDP PAD Mode, or TCP PAD Mode can be entered.

Page 59: Telnet Mode
Data Communication and Host Modes PassThru Mode allows only specific AT commands. Some ALEOS commands will be unavailable when the Raven is in PassThru mode. The commands usable also depend heavily on the modem model number (found on the label on the top of the Raven). Note: Some internal hardware requires upwards of 20 seconds before AT commands can be entered, so be patient if there seems to be no response to AT commands. Telnet Mode In AceManager you can configure Telnet operation.
Page 60 Data Communication and Host Modes PPP mode is entered from the AT mode by using any of the following commands: • AT\APPP • ATDT10.0.0.1 • ATDT10001 • ATD#19788 or #777 *99***1# • CLIENT In response to any of the preceding commands, the Raven will respond with CONNECT a carriage return and new line and is ready for the host to begin PPP negotiations. The IP received by the host in the resulting negotiation will either be a private (non‐routable) IP address or a public (network‐routable) IP address provided by the network, depending on the settings of *HOSTPRIVMODE. If *HOSTPRIVMODE=1, the value of the private IP address can be determined beforehand by querying S110. The private IP address to be used can be defined with the command AT*HOSTPRIVIP=192.168.100.33, substituting the desired IP address. Figure 6-5: AceManager : PPP/Ethernet Using a private IP insulates the PPP client from changes in IP addresses of the underlying network. The will perform basic NAT‐like address translation on all packets. If a public IP address is being used, any changes in the IP (as determined by the wireless network) will result in the PPP link to the host being disconnected, requiring the host to reinitiate it. The public IP is passed to the host in the PPP negotiations, so when the network forces a change, the modem has to force ...
Page 61: Slip
Data Communication and Host Modes SLIP SLIP mode is entered be using the “AT\ASLIP” command. As in PPP Mode, the IP address that the host assumes is affected by the setting of *HOSTPRIVMODE. SLIP does not negotiate the IP address with the connected device or computer, so before making a SLIP connection, the SLIP driver on that device or computer must be configured to use the IP address specified by querying S110. UDP and UDP Pad When the modem is in UDP PAD (Packet Assembly and Disas‐ sembly) Mode, all characters received on the serial port are assembled into UDP packets and sent to the remote IP address/port or the Raven, and any packets received from the same IP/port‐destined for the device port of Raven (see *DPORT)‐‐are disassembled and dumped onto the serial line. A UDP session is initiated by one of the following events: • Using the Dial UDP (DP) AT command (example, ATDP192.168.3.23/3456). • Setting the Startup Mode Default (MD) to 3 (UDP) so that a UDP session is entered automatically when the modem registers onto the network. Serial data will be sent to the IP/port specified in S53. Incoming UDP packets will be processed out the serial port if • UDP auto answer is enabled (S82=2); • The destination IP address matches that in S53 (if Friends Mode is enabled, the IP address also needs to be present on the Friends List); • Or allow any IP is set (AIP=1);...
Page 62: Reliable Udp
Data Communication and Host Modes remote IP/port until no data is sent or received for the time interval defined in the UDP auto answer time‐out (S83). During this session, packets from other IP/port addresses will be rejected, unless *UALL is set. Whether or not an incoming packet will cause the modem to enter a UDP session is always dependent on the S53 and AIP settings. The Normal UDP Mode (MD3) can be combined with UDP auto answer to cause the incoming serial data to be sent in UDP packets (instead of being treated as AT commands), while allowing sessions to be established from different UDP sources. A UDP session will be initiated either by incoming serial data or by an incoming UDP packet. The session, started by either method, will be terminated when no data has been sent or received for the S82 period. Once the session termi‐ nates, another may be initiated by either means. When idle, after the time‐out has occurred, the modem is in AT command mode on the serial port, and any valid AT command may be entered during this time. Tip: It is best to ensure the idle time-outs for TCP and UDP are never 0 if you're going to be using auto-answer, or either PAD mode. In those circumstances, you will want the modem to close the socket if the connection goes idle for too long, particularly if the other side doesn’t normally close the connection.
Page 63: Udp Multicast Mode
Data Communication and Host Modes until it receives an acknowledgement with this sequence number. If an acknowledgement is not received within the time‐out period (specified in S7), the data will be retrans‐ mitted. This will continue until an acknowledgement is received or the modem is reset. Likewise any UDP packets received by the Raven are expected to have this simple header. The Raven will issue an acknowledgement for any valid packets which are received. To configure the Raven for a normal UDP session, you need to set the Startup Mode Default to 73 (ATMD73). If you are using two modems, configure the Destination IP and Port in each to point to each other. Serial data will then be sent reliably between the two. Caution: Although it adds reliability, the simple implementation of the Reliable UDP mode in the does not check for duplicate packets. UDP Multicast Mode UDP Multicast mode results in any data received from the host ...
Page 64: Tcp Auto Answer
Data Communication and Host Modes • TCP auto answer is enabled (S1), a TCP connection request is received, and the modem is not in a data session. • Data is received on the serial port and · The Startup Mode Default (MD) is 4 (auto TCP) · The remote TCP destination, as defined in S53, success‐ fully responds to the TCP connection request. The value of S7 (TCP Connection Time‐out) specifies the number of seconds to wait, after initiating a TCP connection attempt, for a successful connection to be established. If the connection has not been successfully established before the time‐out occurs, ERROR/BUSY is returned. TCP packet assembly is affected by the values of S50 (PAD Forwarding Time‐out) and S51 (PAD Forwarding Character). Data received in the serial buffer will be transmitted when the idle inter‐character time‐out specified in S50 (in tenths of seconds) occurs or when a character is received that matches S51 (if non‐zero). The TCP session will be terminated if no data is transmitted or received for the time interval specified in TCPT and TCPS. TCPT is the number of minutes (TCPS=0) or seconds (TCPS=1) used for this idle time‐out. Caution: TCPT should never be 0 when using the TCP mode. A broken TCP session can result in the modem being left with a TCP half-open connection that can only be terminated with a reset.

Page 71: Understanding Domain Names
IP Manager • Dynamic IP addresses are granted only when your Raven is connected and can change each time the modem recon‐ nects to the network. • Static IP addresses are granted the same address every time your Raven is connected and are not in use when your modem is not connected. Since many cellular providers, like wire‐based ISPs, do not offer static IP addresses or static address accounts cost a premium vs. dynamic accounts, Sierra Wireless AirLink Solutions developed IP Manager to work with a Dynamic DNS server to receive notification from Sierra Wireless AirLink modems to translate the modem’s dynamic IP address to a fully qualified domain name. Thus, you can contact your Raven directly from the Internet using a domain name. Understanding Domain Names A domain name is a name of a server or device on the Internet which is associated with an IP address. Similar to how the street address of your house is one way to contact you and your phone number is another, both the IP address and the domain name can be used to contact a server or device on the Internet. While contacting you at your house address or with your phone number employ different methods, using a domain name instead of the IP address actually uses the same method, just a word based name is commonly easier to remember for most people than a string of numbers. Understanding the parts of a domain name can help to under‐ stand how IP Manager works and what you need to be able to configure the modem. A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) generally has several parts. • Top Level Domain (TLD): The TLD is the ending suffix for a domain name (.com, .net, .org, etc.) • Country Code Top Level Domain (ccTLD): This suffix is often used after the TLD for most countries except the US ...

In this example, the country code (.ca) is for Canada. Tip: A URL (Universal Resource Locator) is different from a domain name in that it also indicates information on the protocol used by a web browser to contact that address, such as http:// www.sierrawireless.com.

Restrictions for Modem Name For the Modem Name, you should use something which is unique but also easy to remember. Your company name or the intended function of the modem are recommended. If you have more than one modem and want to name them the same, you can append a number for each.

Remote Ravens for Modbus with UDP Modbus Overview The Modbus Protocol, developed by Modicon in 1979, provides for client‐server (also referred to as master‐slave) communications between intelligent devices. As a de facto standard, it is the most widely used network protocol in the industrial manufacturing environment to transfer discrete/ analog I/O and register data between control devices. Modbus, BSAP, and other Modbus variations are often used in conjunction with telemetry devices. Tip: This section is just a brief overview of Modbus. For more infor- mation, refer to your Modbus equipment distributor or manufacturer or http://www.modbus.org.

Raven 1x The RTU connects to physical equipment such as switches, pumps, and other devices and monitors and controls these devices. The RTU can be part of a network set up for Super‐ visory Control and Data Acquisition. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) describes solutions across a large variety of industries and is used in industrial and engineering applications to monitor and control distributed systems from a master location. SCADA encom‐ passes multiple RTUs, a central control room with a host computer (or network), and some sort of communication infra‐ structure. SCADA allows for “supervisory” control of remote devices as well as acquiring data from the remote locations. Program‐ mable Logic Controllers allow for a higher degree of automated SCADA. Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a small industrial computer which generally monitors several connected sensor inputs and controls attached devices (motor starters, solenoids, pilot lights/displays, speed drives, valves, etc.) according to a user‐created program stored in its memory. Containing inputs and outputs similar to an RTU, PLCs are frequently used for typical relay control, sophisticated motion control, process control, Distributed Control System and complex networking. Modbus TCP/IP Modbus TCP/IP simply takes the Modbus instruction set and wraps TCP/IP around it. Since TCP/IP is the communications standard for the Internet and most networked computers, this provides a simpler installation. Modbus TCP/IP uses standard ...

Page 81 Configuring Modbus/BSAP Addresses can be entered in decimal or hex. AceManager will translate hex entries into decimal. The number before the “=” is ID, the number after is the IP address. There can be a total of 100 remote ID/Local addresses entered into the modem. When using AT commands via telnet or direct serial connection, use ATMLIST for decimal IDs and ATMLISTX for hexidecimal. For example, if the ID is 27 and the IP is 123.123.123.124, you would enter it as ATMLIST27=123.123.123.124 or ATMLISTX1B=123.123.123.124. 4. Optional: Dynamic IP Address If you do not have a static IP, the host modem should be configured to report its current IP to a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) server with IP Manager. In the Host modem’s configuration, instead of IP address for the Addr List (ATMLIST or ATMLISTX), substitute a single unique name for each modem, i.e. remote1, remote2, etc. When you configure IP Manager for the host modem, make note of your modem name and domain setting in AceManager in the menu selection Dynamic IP to be used with the remote modems. Figure 8-4: AceManager: Dynamic IP With names instead of IP addresses for the Address List, the host modem will query the DNS server for the current IP address assigned to the specific name of a remote modem to send a message corresponding to the ID.

Page 87: Snmp : Simple Network Management Protocol
9: SNMP : Simple Network Management Protocol • SNMP Configuration • SNMP MIB Definition The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) was Sample designed to allow remote management and monitoring of a variety of devices from a central location. The SNMP management system is generally composed of agents (such as your Raven, a router, a UPS, a web server, a file server, or other computer equipment) and a Network Management Station (NMS) which monitors all the agents on a specific network. Using the management information base (MIB), an NMS can include reporting, network topology mapping, tools to allow traffic monitoring and trend analysis, and device monitoring. Authentication ensures SNMP messages coming from the agent, such as the Raven, have not been modified and the agent may not be queried by unauthorized users. SNMPv3 uses a User‐Based Security Model (USM) to authenticate and, if desired or supported, message encryption. USM uses a user name and password specific to each device. The Raven can be configured as an SNMP agent and supports SNMPv2c and SNMPv3. Management Information Base (MIB) The management information base (MIB) is a type of database used to compile the information from the various SNMP agents. Reports from various agents, such as the Raven, are sent as data in form designed to be parsed by the NMS into its ...

SNMP : Simple Network Management Protocol SNMP Configuration To configure your Raven to work as an SNMP agent, you can use either AceManager, or a terminal connection to configure the modem using AT commands. In AceManager, the SNMP commands are all part of the Other group under the Common group. There are only three commands to set for SNMP in the Raven: the listening port, the security level, and the trap destination. Figure 9-1: AceManager : Common > Other Listening Port sets the port for the SNMP agent to listen on. If set *SNMPPORT to zero, default, SNMP is disabled. Tip: SNMP generally uses port 161, however most Internet providers (including cellular) block all ports below 1024 as a security measure. You should be able to use a higher numbered port such as 10161.

Page 139: At Commands And The Command String
Raven 1x Figure 2-1: AceManager : UDP > MD The Raven needs a command string sent to the modem after it is initialized. The command string will need to be tailored for your application. Different models of the Raven may respond differently to some of the commands. In the PassThru group, type your command string in the input field for *PTINIT. Figure 2-2: AceManager: PassThru AT Commands and the Command String Each modem requires a command string that is a combination of AT commands limited to a maximum of 40 characters. The command string will vary depending on the needs of the connected device. For example, some devices need DTR to be high while others need DTR to be ignored. For a full listing as well as parameters and defaults, refer the AT Command appendix. Caution: The only commands that can be used in the string are those which do not require ALEOS.
Page 140: Commands Specific To The Raven 1X C3210 And C3216
Circuit Switch Communications Commands Specific to the Raven 1x C3210 and C3216 The command string cannot contain any spaces, commas, the plus (+) symbol, or a semi‐colon (;). If an AT command needed for the string contains a plus or comma (for example, +IFC=0,0), you will need to designate a break character since you cannot use the standard break of ; for the plus to be read and a replacement for the comma. The break and comma designations need to be at the end of the *PTINIT command and separated with commas. During the INIT sequence, the modem looks at the entire command before executing the AT command string. If there are replacement values, it will perform the appropriate replacement before executing the AT command. Table 2-1: Example for the Raven C3210 and C3216 Command Components AT*PTINIT=AT&C1S0=1$QCVAD=4%+IFC=0^0,%,^ AT*PTINIT= Include this portion only if you will not be entering the command using a AceManager.

The remainder of the example is the command string. All AT commands must start with “AT”. S0=1+CICB=0 The string is a combination of AT Commands limited to a maximum of 40 characters.
Page 142: Hardware Required
Circuit Switch Communications 1. Gather the required information, hardware, and software Different model numbers will have different configurations. Some of the configuration steps for one model will not work at all with any other model number. The model number for your Raven is on the sticker which is on the top of the modem (example, Raven 1x C3211 or Raven CDMA C3210). The first letter and number (C3) indicates the communication technology your modem uses. The next number (2) indicates the modem model (Raven). The final two numbers (10, 11, or 16) indicate the internal hardware model. Hardware Required • A personal computer with a functioning serial port or USB port and a USB to serial converter configured to work with your computer. • A straight through RS232 cable (DB9M‐DB9F). • A suitable power supply and antenna for the Raven. Without suitable signal strength the modem will not function. Better than at least ‐100dBM is required. • A CDMA/1x account that supports circuit‐switched communication.
