Baseline Cell Modem Installation and User Guide

Introduction

In order to remotely connect with your BaseStation 1000 or 3200 irrigation controller and take

advantage of BaseManager, the controller must be able to communicate over the Internet. Using a

cell modem is one option for wireless Internet communication. The cell modem sends and receives

data over a wireless carrier’s network.

When you choose a cell modem communication package from Baseline, we provide the cell

modem hardware, the SIM card from the wireless carrier, the firmware that activates the

connection from your controller, and a 1-year subscription to a data plan with the wireless carrier.

To establish communication through your cell modem, you need to perform the following tasks:

Step 1 – Install the cell modem hardware in your BaseStation 1000 or 3200 enclosure.

Step 2 – Check the firmware version on your controller and install an update if necessary.

Step 3 – Activate your SIM card with Baseline.

Step 4 – Verify the cell modem connection in the controller.

Step 1 – Install the Cell Modem Hardware

Note: The cell modem hardware is only compatible with BaseStation 1000 and 3200 controllers in X

cabinet and pedestal (P) enclosures. When the controller and cell modem are ordered together,

the cell modem is already installed in the enclosure.

Tools and Materials

• Philips head screwdriver

• Needle-nose pliers

• Cell modem module, antenna and antenna cable with connectors and screws

Note: If you are not able to get a strong signal with the antenna that comes with the package,

other options are available. Contact Baseline Support at 866-294-5847.
