Overview
This documentation describes all the features, functions and interfacing to the CDS-9020 products to other DTE
(Data Terminal Equipment). This manual was written for people who have a basic understanding of DCE (Data
Communications Equipment) products.
DESCRIPTION
A self contained cellular/PCS systemthat is cost effective for remote telemetry/meter reading, data
application and AVL applications. The CDS-9020 establishes a new industrial benchmark for accurate and
efficient data communications at an affordable price.
The CDS-9020 is a complete 19,200bps digital cellular or PCS modem standalone modem. It works at
800MHz or 1.9MHz. DCE (Data Communication Equipment) is setup to communicate from 1200bps to a
maximum throughput of 19,200bps. It does not support auto baud rate detection.
It works like a standard landline modem and is compatible with 95% of host modems. Since the CDS-9020
uses IS-95A and IS707 CDMA-one standard. You will see a much more reliable connection then when using
standard analog cellular modem for your remote data retrieval.
CDS-9020 is much more then just a standalone modem. It has menu features to configure the unit locally or
remotely. It has four programmable windows so you can turn the unit on and off to conserve power at certain
times of the day or night. Programming the phone/NAM is a snap, you don't have to go to the local cellular
provider, with the programming menu we embedded in the firmware. It just walks you throw step by step.
CDS-9020 can be upgraded to a CDS-9021/A. CDS-9021 is the same PCB board as the CDS-9020 we
manufactured the board to add extra features. Such as a wireless\cellular analog modem module and a GPS
module for tracking (AVL applications).
You can order these extra modules at the same time of purchase or, place the orders as you go. If the
CDMA-one coverage footprint does not cover the area that you are planning to use your CDS-9020. You would
order part# CDS-9021/A (the A stands for the analog modem module). With this add on feature it gives the
CDS-9020 the ability to operate in analog or digital mode. In addition, you still get the same low rates of a
digital phone line.
If you order the unit without the analog modem module, and the site you plan on using the CDS-9020 does not
have CDMA coverage you can order an analog module after you installed the unit, Part Number CDS-9022
Module.
For the GPS-AVL user who needs coverage nationwide, the CDS-9020/AG is the unit you would want to order.
This unit comes with a CDMA modem, GPS module, and 1 Meg of memory for downloading archiving data
and an analog modem module so you can track your vehicles anywhere and anytime, with most tracking
software.
Safety precautions for the user
The following notes refer to OEM module for the CDS-9020/CDS-9021 Series Modem Cellular Engine and to applications based on
CDS-9020/CDS-9021 Modem. The end user of an application based on the CDS-9020/CDS-9021 Modem Series must incorporate

Setting Up Windows and Clock
Why setup the windows?
If you are running the CDS-9020 from a battery source and want to maximize your battery life, you want the
battery to last as long as possible. You will need to figure out when you will be calling the CDS-9020, and set
the polling windows to correspond with those times.
Example: NOTE: this is used mostly with applications that are battery powered.
If your using the CDS-9020 for billing collections, and you know you are never going to poll your device
between the hours of 11:00am until 12:00 midnight. You can have the CDS-9020 turn off to conserve power.
What that means is the CDS-9020 will only be able to receive calls during 23:59 to 10:59AM
That does not mean the CDS won’t call you if your DTE device has the capabilities of dialing into the host.
The CDS-9020 is always looking for activity on the RS-232 lines. If you send a ATDT string to the CDS-9020
during a Power Down Cycle it will wake up and report the alarm.
Programming Clock (you must do this before you program any time windows).
Get into the Configuration Menu (Remotely or Locally)
Press the letter E
Follow the Prompts

Note: make sure you know what time you need the unit to be turn OFF if its important data and you set a
window just for Midnight 23:59 to 6:00am. You will only be able to call the unit during that window time.
This is the reason we added 4 Start and Stop windows so you can set B for a 10 minute cycle or a 4 hours
window cycle and so on.

RS-232 SETUP
See more about RS-232 Signal levels in trouble shooting section:

3 Wire RS-232 Connection
When using a 3 wire RS-232 connection, it requires you to put a jumper on JP1, RTS to CTS and add AT&D0
to the Modem String (Option: K.Modem Init) if JP1 is not shorted together your DTE device will not
communicate.
With the CDS-9020 you do need to short together DTR and DSR the AT&D0 does the same thing for you. If
you feel you need to, it will not affect your data. Shorting together JP2 DTR to DSR the current goes up about
7ma more when waiting for a call. In applications where the current draw is important, do not use JP2, use the
AT&D0 command.
Note: When plugging in the programming cable while JP-1 and JP-2 are shorted together, this will confuse the
DTE device. It is best you remove these jumpers when you are doing a local connection with programming
cable.
