1. Introduction
NOTE:
This Quick Deploy Guide is a general reference to give the
installer an overview of the steps required to make this sys-
tem operational. The Product Manual is the definitive
source for detailed installation instructions and inform-
ation.
A public static IP account must be used when the module is set
up in serial server mode. Private dynamic IP accounts do not
support the serial server mode.
The Provisioning Report received with your Cellular Data Ser-
vice shows whether the module was configured with a private
dynamic or public static IP address.
USE THIS GUIDE if you have a public static IP address. See
FIGURE 1-1 (p. 1). See the RV50 Manual if you have a private
dynamic IP address.

2. Campbell Scientific cellular data
service
Campbell Scientific can provide subscriptions to cellular ser-
vice through Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Telstra, and
over 600 other providers worldwide. When this cellular service
is purchased with the module, the module will come pre-pro-
visioned with the required SIM card and APN. If you have
already purchased the RV50, call Campbell Scientific to set up
service.
3. Install the SIM card
NOTE:
If you purchased cellular service from Campbell Scientific
with the module, it will come with the SIM (Subscriber Iden-
tity Module) card already installed.
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 FIGURE
3-1 (p. 2). 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.

5. Connect the power cable to the RV50 DC Power input.
When the RV50 is properly set up and powered, the
status LEDs will turn on. The RV50 will begin the activ-
ation/provisioning process and attempt to connect to
the mobile network. This process typically takes 5 to 10
minutes. A successful connection is indicated by a solid
green or solid amber Network LED.
6. Connect your Windows® computer to the RV50 using
the supplied Ethernet cable.
7. Launch a web browser, and enter
http://192.168.13.31:9191 into the address bar. The ACE-
manager login screen should appear in your browser.
8. Log in using User Name = user and Password = 12345.
(We strongly recommend changing the default pass-
word to prevent unauthorized access and the potential
of malware infection. The password can be changed
from the Admin tab.)
9. Once logged in, check the Status |Home |Network
State field. It should read Network Ready, indicating the
RV50 is connected to the cellular network. You can eas-
ily test the RV50 connection to the Internet by selecting
the Admin |Advanced tab and using the PING tool to
ping an Internet server, such as www.campbellsci.com.
10. Click the Template button in the ACEmanager toolbar.
A template application window will appear. Browse to
and upload one of the configuration templates down-
loaded from Campbell Scientific.

11. Reboot the RV50 after successfully applying the con-
figuration template. You can do this by clicking the
Reboot button on the ACEmanager toolbar, by
momentarily pressing the Reset button (2 sec), or by
temporarily removing power from the RV50.
5. Set up hardware
The simplest hardware setup for modern dataloggers is to con-
nect a null module cable between the RS-232 ports of the data-
logger and the RV50.
6. Set up LoggerNet
1. Select Add Root >IPPort.
2. Select PakBusPort and pbRouter for PakBus data

loggers such as the CR1000X.
3. Add a data logger to the pbRouter.
4. Select the IPPort in the Network Map. Enter the Konect
PakBus Router DNS address and port number as noted
in the Konect PakBus Router setup. The DNS address
and port number are input in the Internet IP Address
field separated by a colon. For example, axanar.konect-
gds.com:pppp where pppp is the port number.
5. For PakBus data loggers, leave the default settings for
the PakBusPort. PakBus Port Always Open; it should not
be checked. If used, enter the TCP Password.
6. For PakBus data loggers, select the pbRouter in the Net-
work 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). Click Apply to save the changes.
7. 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.
TIP:
The connection time is subject to many external factors. It
is often less than 30 seconds but could be up to fifteen
minutes. Be patient.
If the call 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.
