Redwing CDMA1X AirLink Cellular
Modem
1. Introduction
The Redwing CDMA1X modem is a full-duplex, digitalcellular modem that
communicates with a base station PC via Code Division Multiple Access
(CDMA) network and Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The
Redwing CDMA1X modem is for use on Bell, Aliant, ManitobaTel, and
SaskTelnetworks only.
2. Specifications
2.1 Base Station Requirements
xPC with Hayes-compatible modem, running Campbell Scientific’s
LoggerNet or PC400 software.
xSubscription to Bell, Aliant, ManitobaTel,orSaskTelCDMA networks
with coverage at the datalogger site.
2.2 Datalogger Site Equipment
xRedwing CDMA1X modem—includes power cable; the modem is
configured using the Hyperterminalprogram prior to installation
xDatalogger—CR510, CR10(X), CR23X, CR7, CR800, CR1000, CR5000,
or CR2XX
xSC105 or SC932A Interface—connects the modem to the CR510,
CR10(X), or CR7 dataloggers’ CSI/O port
xL14392Null Modem Cable—connects the modem to the CR23X, CR800,
CR1000, CR2XX, or CR5000 RS-232port
xL14394 Redwing Mounting Kit—includes mounting hardware for
securing the modem to below referenced environmentalenclosure.
xAntenna—the following antennas are available from Campbell Scientific;
sites near the edge of the CDMA coverage mayrequire the Yagi antenna.

2.3 Power Considerations
xA power cable included with the modem connects to the datalogger's 12V
or switched 12V terminal. Connection to the switched 12V terminal
allows the datalogger to switch power to the modem during scheduled
transmission intervals if desired.
xWhen using the switched 12V terminal, the modem can typically be
powered with a BP12battery, CH100 charger/regulator, and MSX10 solar
panel.
3. Configuration
3.1 Establish Cellular Service
Prior to contacting the cellular service provider*, have the following
information on hand:
1. Electronic SerialNumber (ESN). The ESN is found on the
unit label.
2. Desired area code and localprefix. Choose the same area
code and prefix as the calling PC to ensure that calls are
billed at localrates, even if the phone is used outside the
localcalling area.
*For modem activation, further information, and assistance in selecting the
most suitable cellular plan, please call 1-866-928-4465 or email
[e-mail]
NOTE: Indicate to the account representative that you would like to open a
new account using your modem in IS-95B circuit switched/voice mode. The
service provider does not need the Redwing modem to activate the account.
3.2 Program the Modem
Items needed:
xComputer with a COM port.
x9-pin cable to connect between the computer and the Redwing.
xA terminalprogram on the computer “Hyperterminal”.
x12volt DC applied to the Redwing.
xAntenna on the Redwing (for over-the-air updates).
xCDMA account.

3.3 Hyperterminal Setup
Under “Connect using”, select the COM port you will be using.
Set COM Properties to:
Bits per second (baud) = 115200
Data bits = 8
Parity= None
Stop bits = 1
Flow control= None
Apply power to the modem and connect it to the computer via the 9-pin serial
cable.
3.4 Programming the Redwing’s Phone Number
Your provider should give you two numbers to program into the Redwing, the
MDN (Mobile DirectoryNumber) and MIN (Mobile Identification Number).
In most cases these numbers are the same.
Perform the following steps substituting the MDN and MIN with yours.
AT Commands to be typed are in bold. Follow each AT command string by
pressing the Enter keyand verifythe response.

Redwing CDMA1X AirLink Cellular Modem
Step AT Commands Response Description
1
AT+WSPC=1,xxxxxx (where
xxxxxx represents the lock code of
your modem.
Example AT+WSPC=1,123456)
OK
Unlocks the module for service
provisioning AT commands.
2
AT+WMDN=[MDN]
Example:
AT+WMDN=4352551212
OK
Enter the MDN here. The MDN is
the number used to dialthis device.
3
AT+WIMI=31000[MIN]
Example:
AT+WIMI=310004352551234
OK
Enter the MIN here. The 31000
must precede the MIN. The MIN
is the number used to identifythis
device on the cellular provider’s
network. This number maybe the
same as the MDN.
OK Commits the changes done during
the service programming session.
4AT+WCMT=1
+WIND:8
Commission of these changes will
force a software reset of the
module.
5AT+CDV*22890
+WORG:*22890
+WCNT:3
+WOT1:”Programming in progress”
+WOTS:”SPL unlocked”
+WOTP:”PRL Download OK”
+WOTM:”MDM Download OK”
+WOTC:”Commit Successful”
+WOT2:”Programming Successful!”
*results mayvary*
Initiates over-the-air update. You
must have cellular coverage with
good signalstrength for this to be
successful.
There are no O’s in the above strings, theyare Zero’s.
NOTE
3.5 Programming the Redwing for use with a datalogger
The Redwing needs a few settings changed in it to power-up readyto work
with the datalogger.

Step AT Commands Response Description
6ATS0=1+CICB=0 OK Sets auto answer in data mode.
7AT+IFC=0,0 OK Disables localflow control.
Sets the Redwings RS232baud
rate and saves settings.
Use the following to determine
baud rate:
CR800
CR1000
CR5000
115200
CR23X 38400
8
AT+IPR=[baud rate]; &W
Example:
AT+IPR=9600; &W
OK
CR10(X)
CR510
CR200
CR7
9600
In the above strings, all “0” = zero.
