Cell modem implementation changes

The cell modem functionality on the ION8650 has been updated.

Cell modem activation in ION Setup

You can now use the Info tab in Communications > Cellular Settings to:

  • view the cell modem activation status, and

  • activate the cell modem on your meter, rather than using Telnet.

To access these settings, make sure you have the latest firmware and ION Setup version.

Advance cell modem configuration

You can now configure the cell modem to activate when the account with your cellular carrier is set up for roaming.

To allow this, access the Communications module using the advanced mode of ION Setup and change the Allow Roaming setup register to yes. See the ION Reference for more information about this register.

Default cell modem protocol / port changes

The default protocol and port for Connection 1 has changed to ION / 7700. The default for all the other cell modem connections remains ION / None (0).
