CHAPTER 1 Introduction to Redwing CDMA

FIGURE 1. Redwing front and back

CDMA Overview

Establishing an Internet Connection

The Redwing uses Sprint as an ISP (Internet Service Provider) to connect you to the Internet.

The Redwing's rugged form factor is ideal for industrial and commercial applications that require

real-time communications. The Redwing provides cellular data communications for a variety of

applications, such as public safety, traffic control, traffic metering, and more.

CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) is the underlying digital radio network technology used

by many cellular providers across the globe and is prevalent in North America. CDMA/1x pro-

vides a digital cellular telephony system and can provide wireless Internet access at speeds

between 60 and 80 kbps, with bursts up to 144 kbps. 1x is a data standard built on CDMA.

1x is highly secure. Originally developed based upon the “spread spectrum” pioneered by the US

Department of Defense, security in 1x is obtained by spreading the digital information contained

in a particular signal of interest over multiple coded paths, over a much greater bandwidth than

the original signal.

Redwing CDMA for Sprint - User Guide, version 2.31 2

Introduction to Redwing CDMA

Steps of a connection:

Dynamic vs. Static IP Addresses

As stated above, when your Redwing registers on Sprint’s network, it receives an IP address. There

are two types of addresses on networks: dynamic and static.

•Dynamic addresses are assigned on a “need to have” basis. Your Redwing might not always

receive the same address each time it connects with Sprint.

•Static addresses are permanently assigned to a particular account and will always be used

whenever your Redwing connects to the Internet. The IP address will not be given to anyone

else.

Most ISPs (cellular included) use dynamic IP addresses rather than static IP addresses since it

allows them to reuse a smaller number of IP addresses for a large number of customers. A

dynamic IP address is suitable for many common Internet uses, such as web browsing, looking up

data on another computer system, or other client functions (such as data only being sent out or only

being received after an initial request).

1. When your Redwing is powered on, it automatically searches for cellular service using

CDMA.

2. Your Redwing establishes a PPP (Point to Point Protocol or “dial” up connection) link to

Sprint’s network, also called registering on the network, and receives an IP address.

3. When your Redwing has received its IP address from Sprint, then it is ready to allow you to

connect to the Internet.

FIGURE 2. Using the Redwing to connect to the Internet

Note: If your account with Sprint includes a dynamic IP address and you need a

static IP, please consult your Sprint Data Sales Representative for more informa-

tion about changing your account for static IP support.

If you need to contact your Redwing, a device connected to the modem, or a host system using the

modem from the Internet, you need to have a known IP (such as one which is static) or domain

name (an IP address which is converted by a DNS server into a word based name).

Introduction to Redwing CDMA

Common Uses for the Redwing

Caution: If you want to connect remotely to your Redwing using TCP/IP, the IP

address given to your modem by the network cannot be a private or internal IP

address (such as Data Link) unless you are on the same network or inside that net-

work’s firewall (such as with frame relay).

Using Your Redwing to Connect to the Internet

To use your Redwing’s serial port to connect to the Internet from your computer, you need to con-

nect the computer directly to the Redwing’s serial port with a straight-through serial cable and use

Dial-Up Networking (DUN).

The Redwing’s rugged construction and cellular connection make it ideal for use in remote and/or

industrial locations.

The Redwing is designed to work with legacy devices which do not need the advanced features of

ALEOS.

CHAPTER 2 Activating the Redwing

Your Redwing needs specific parameters before it can operate on the CDMA network.

Quick Start Guide and Setup Wizard

The preferred way to activate and configure your Redwing to connect to the cellular network is via

the AirLink Setup Wizard for Sprint. The Quick Start Guide will lead you through using the Setup

Wizard.

Select Start, then All Programs, then AirLink Communications. Select Setup Wizard.

FIGURE 1. Setup Wizard

The latest Redwing Setup Wizard and Quick Start guide are on the product CD

included with your modem and are available from the AirLink web site, http://

www.airlink.com/support.

Note: To run the Setup Wizard, you will need the Microsoft .NET framework v.1.1

and Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP, or

later.

Redwing CDMA for Sprint - User Guide, version 2.31 5

Activating the Redwing

Activating the Redwing using AT Commands

An alternate method to configure and activate your Redwing is by using AT commands sent

directly to the modem with a terminal application (refer to the troubleshooting section, page 52).

This method is recommended only in situations where the Setup Wizard is not available and/or

the configuration for the Redwing is unusual.

Caution: While you can configure your Redwing using Wireless Ace or AceNet, it

is not possible to activate the Redwing using either Wireless Ace or AceNet.

CHAPTER 3 Circuit- Switched Configuration

However, for customers who have unintelligent machines who still need to have the modem 'ready'

to behave in a certain way (such as Auto-Answering circuit-switched data calls), there is a feature

in the modem called the INIT STATE.

INIT State

The Auto-INIT command string is comprised of up to 40 characters, the order defining the

sequence of the initialization. The command sets the modem for the desired 'ready' configuration

each time it powers on.

Configuring Circuit-Switch

The Redwing does not have any internal intelligence nor does the Redwing C3110 or C3116

have the ability to SAVE individual settings like a conventional modem (the Redwing C3111 can

save settings internally). Therefore, the best machines for use in circuit-switched mode are ones

that can provide their own INIT or setup strings and/or issue AT commands.

Note: Crcuit-switched configuration requires a voice plan (account) with your car-

rier, not a 1xRTT data plan. 1xRTT features are not compatible with the circuit

switch configuration. Voice plan speeds are generally lower than those of a data

plan. It is generally not easy to switch from one plan to the other.

The INIT STATE is a state where the modem will initialize itself by using a single pre-determined

concatenated Auto-INIT command string. In some models of the Redwing, the Auto-INIT is actu-

ally an AT command itself, called +ATINIT. Since the Auto-INIT takes the shape of traditional

INIT strings, those with experience setting up conventional land-line modems should find this

fairly easy to configure.

To configure the modem for circuit-switch communication, you will need to use AT commands

(page 22). You will need to use direct serial communication to enter the commands for the Red-

wing

Different models of the respond to some of the AT commands in different ways, a command

which is used with one model may not be applicable to another.

The model number of your modem is on the label on the top of the case (example,

Redwing CDMA C3110).
