information includes the unit serial number, communication port, and the date and time. This part
of the Auto Call Home feature is useful when you are monitoring more than the four available
communication ports on your PC. You can view activity and error logs of the monitoring and data
acquisition as it occurs.
Auto Call Home UDP/IP saves the original setup file for future use, and automatically sends the
stored setup file to a remote monitor through the standard internet connection, once the monitor
establishes communication with the PC or server.
Note: Contact your computer system administrator or trained technician to assist you in router
configuration, communications and Windows Firewall settings for Auto Call Home UDP/IP and
TCP/IP.
a. Setting up an Airlink Raven Modem for Auto Call Home UDP/IP
Instantel encourages the use of the Airlink Raven modem. The Airlink Raven has a high-speed
data transfer rate that supports the Instantel® Series III monitors, serial number 6000 and
higher. Since it uses Internet Protocol (IP) to transfer data from the monitor to a computer
operating the Instantel® Blastware® Software, the communication link is always present, and
long distance charges no longer apply. The service plans differ from analog plans in that billing is
commonly done based on the quantity of data transferred in a given period.
These installation instructions describe the procedures for installing an AirLink Raven modem that
will support communication with a remotely installed Instantel vibration monitor. For the purpose
of these installation instructions, it is assumed that the office PC already has an internet
connection and that communications do not pass through an interoffice server or firewall. If
communications do pass through an interoffice server or firewall, please contact your IT person to
make the proper adjustments.
Tools and Material Required:
1. Purchase and activate the telephone service package; this is a regular data call package from
either Bell Mobility or with Verizon Wireless. Also, request a static IP address from the local
telephone service provider that you have selected.
2. AirLink Raven modem.
3. Power source for the AirLink Raven modem (a 12 volt car or marine battery and/or a solar
panel).
4. Null modem cable (Instantel® part number 718A3701).
5. Install the AirLink software. This software can be downloaded from AirLink’s web site, or
from the modem manufacturer’s website at www.sierrawireless.com.
6. Download and install the ACEmanager™ software to program and trouble shoot the modem.
This software can be downloaded from AirLink’s web site, or from the modem manufacturer’s
