1. Introduction
NOTE:
This Quick Deploy Guide is a general reference to give the
installer an overview of the steps required to make this
system operational. The Product Manual is the definitive
source for detailed installation instructions and
information.
For best results, update to the latest data logger
operating system and version of Device Configuration
Utility.
NOTE:
CR3000, CR1000 and CR800-series users must refer to the
CELL200 Product Manual. This Quick Deploy Guide applies
to the CR300, CR1000X and CR6 data loggers. For any
other data loggers, please check the Product Manual or
contact Campbell Scientific.
2. Selecting a data service
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.
3. Install the SIM card
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.

4. Konect PakBus Router setup
4.1 Get started
You will need the Konect PakBus Router redemption code that
came on a card with the CELL200 series.
Open a web browser and go to www.konectgds.com.

First-time users need to create a free account. After you submit
your information, you will receive two emails up to five minutes
apart. One email will contain a Passport ID and the other your
Password. If emails are not received, check your email junk
folder.
4.2 Set up Konect PakBus Router
1. Sign in to www.konectgds.com using your Passport ID
and Password found in the two received emails. Once
logged in, you will be at the Welcome page.
2. Click devices and services on the command bar to
the left and select Redeem PakBus Router Code. Enter
your complimentary Router Code found on the
included card with your cellular-enabled device and
click Submit.
3. The next screen shows the assigned DNS address and
Port for the router. Enter a TCP Password and select a
unique PakBus Address for your data logger.
TIP:
Make note of this information; it will be required
for data logger configuration as well as LoggerNet
setup. Please note your DNS,Port,TCP Password
and PakBus address; you will need them later.
5. Hardware and software
configuration
5.1 Set up hardware
1. Connect the cellular antenna, if it is not already
connected. When using a MIMO antenna with multiple
cellular connections, connect the primary cable to
Cellular and the secondary to Diversity. If the cables are
not marked in this way, they can be connected to either
antennna port.
2. Connect your data logger RS-232 or CS I/O port to the
CELL200-series module RS-232 or CS I/O port. Ensure
the same port is used for each device, for example RS-
232 to RS-232. Use an 18663 cable for RS-232
connection or a SC12 cable for CS I/O connection
(either female connector on the SC12 cable can be used
for the CELL220).
3. If not connecting through CS I/O, provide power to the
CELL200 series. The data logger provides power
through the CS I/O port. USB power is not sufficient to
power the CELL200 series; 12 V is required.
5.2 Configure data logger
1. Connect to your data logger by using Device
Configuration Utility.
2. On the Datalogger tab, change the data logger PakBus
Address and PakBus/TCP Password to match the values
entered in the Konect PakBus Router setup.
3. On the Network Services tab in the PakBus/TCP Client
field, enter the DNS address and Port number noted
during the Konect PakBus Router setup.
4. Click Apply to save the changes. Verify the settings in the
summary window. (Recommended) Save a copy of the
settings to a file on the computer. Click OK.

5. Shut down Device Configuration Utility and start it
again. This will activate the Cellular tab needed for the
next step.
6. On the Cellular tab, enter the APN provided by your
cellular provider. For standard Telstra SIMs, this will be
telstra.internet.
7. On the Datalogger tab enter the PakBus/TCP Password
twice. This setting specifies a password that will make
the data logger authenticate any incoming or outgoing
PakBus/TCP connection. It must match the value entered
in the Konect PakBus Router setup.
8. Click Apply to save the changes. Verify the settings in the
summary window. (Recommended) Save a copy of the
settings to a file on the computer. Click OK.
9. Click Disconnect and close Device Configuration Utility.
5.3 Set up LoggerNet
The LoggerNet Network Map is configured from the
LoggerNet Setup screen.
NOTE:
Setup has two options, EZ (simplified) and Standard. Click
on the View menu at the top of the Setup screen, and
select Standard view.
From the LoggerNet toolbar, click Main >Setup and configure
the Network Map as described in the following steps:
1. Select Add Root >IPPort.
2. Select PakBusPort and pbRouter for PakBus data
loggers such as the CR800 or CR1000.
NOTE:
PakBus data loggers include the following
models:GRANITE-series, CR6, CR3000, CR1000X,
CR800-series, CR300-series, CR1000, and CR200(X)-
series.
3. Add a data logger to the pbRouter.
4. From the Entire Network, on the left side, select the
IPPort. Enter the Konect PakBus Router DNS address
and port number as noted in the Konect PakBus Router
setup (Set up Konect PakBus Router (p. 2)). Enter them
into the Internet IP Address field in the format DNS:Port
with a colon separating DNS and Port. For example,
axanar.konectgds.com:pppp where pppp is the port
number.
5. Leave the default settings for the PakBusPort.PakBus
Port Always Open should not be checked. In the TCP
Password field enter the TCP Password; this must match
the value entered in the Konect PakBus Router setup
and LoggerNet setup.

6. For PakBus data loggers, select the pbRouter in the
Network Map and set the PakBus Address to 4070.
7. For PakBus data loggers, select the data logger in the
Network Map and set the PakBus Address to match that
of the data logger (default address in the data logger is
1). If a PakBus Encryption Key was entered during data
logger setup, also enter it here. Click Apply to save the
changes.
5.4 Test the connection
Use the Connect screen to test the connection. Click on the
appropriate station and click Connect to initiate a call to the
data logger. The data logger must have 12 V power when
powering the modem via CS I/O.
TIP:
The connection time is subject to many external factors. It
is often less than 30 seconds but could be up to 15 minutes.
Be patient.
If the connection 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.
