14 Example Modem PAD Configuration
In this example, the master device requires some scripting or programmable functionality to perform the
following actions iteratively for polling data from slave devices:
1. Detect the modem’s command mode by checking that the pound character (#) is received on the
serial port
2. Execute cmd padip using the field device’s IP address
3. Execute cmd padport using the field device’s port
4. Execute cmd pad to start PAD operation
5. Send the current field device request over the serial port
6. Wait for the response from the field device. In this example, the modem should drop back into
command mode after 10 seconds.
5.4 Modem PAD Configuration for a Reporting Field Device
In this example, a Chameleon modem is connected to a field device that reports to a remote server
without the need to be polled. The field device generates data on the serial port whenever it is available
and the modem will send this data remotely over-the-air. The remote field device operates at a baud rate
of 9600 and uses hardware flow control. The field device generates ASCII data with varying length and is
always terminated with the carriage return character <CR>. The field device does not require echoing of
data that it sends to the modem.
For the modem connected to the reporting field device, enter the following commands from the
serial console:
cmd factory
cmd mode 4
cmd port 9600 8 n 1 2
It will now be necessary to adjust the baud rate of the terminal application to 9600.
