General Overview The iR1600 series modems include capabilities such as embedded TCP/IP stack, alternate serial protocol conversion, store-and-hold forward for GPS coordinates, ,and three (3) operating modes (Normal, AVL or Gateway) and integration for a handheld speaker-microphone to enable voice communication. The expanded features make the iR1600 even more powerful while still maintaining the same ruggedized, flexible and reliable form factor.

Modem Characteristics The iR1600 modem provides you with the following features/ characteristics:

• Integrated GPS Receiver (optional) – The iR1600 has an integrated receiver for GPS communication for Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL). With GPS, vehicle location or “positions” can be determined. GPS data is used with mapping software so that vehicle location and movement can be visually represented.

• Store and Forward Capabilities – The iR1600 has a total of 120kbytes of serial flash memory for data storage, giving the iR1600 data logging and store/forward capabilities. If a unit loses communication, the data being collected through GPS and from the inputs will be stored in memory and forwarded when communication is reestablished.

• I/O Interfaces – The iR1600 has five (5) I/O ports: (2) Analog inputs (4-20mA/0-10V configurable) and (3) digital inputs. These signals provide a means of monitoring and controlling third party devices that are external to the modem.

• TPC/IP Stack – The TCP/IP Stack allows the iR1600 to receive serial data, encapsulate it into UDP or TCP packets and send it over the iDEN packet data network to a pre-defined IP address. This also allows the modem to receive appropriately addressed packets from the iDEN network, parse the data, and send it to the user via the serial port.

• Internal GPS Loop Back – The addition of the TCP/IP Stack has enabled the iR1600 with the capability of sending GPS data to a remote server without a resident application. The GPS data is also communicated via a serial connection to a local data terminal.

• Handheld Speaker-Microphone Interface (voice over data) - The modem is equipped with an integrated port for connection to an external microphone-speaker device, enabling voice communication.

• Data Security – The modem provides a 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) data security feature when the modem is operating in either the Gateway or AVL mode.

• Remote Over the Air (OTA) Configuration Toolkit (optional) – The iR1600 modem can be remotely configured by using this toolkit. This optional toolkit is a GUI (Graphic User Interface) application allows an administrator the ability to remotely configure or change the modem’s operating modes or perform remote firmware updates. This feature is enabled when the modem is operating in either the Gateway or AVL mode.

• Access Control List (ACL) – The modem has a look-up table that can store a range of IP addresses and up to 30 individual IP addresses within the Access Control List. When the modem is in either Gateway or AVL operating mode and configured as a TCP client or UDP, it will act as a “listener” and will use the ACL to verify that a remote node may send packets to the modem.

• Protocol to IP Address Translation – The iR1600 has capabilities of translating a Bristol Babcock BSAP hex address (ID) into an IP address. Once converted, the BSAP messages (data) is packetized and sent over the iDEN network using UDP.

Modem Operating Modes The iR1600 provides three separate modes of operation or communication described below:

NOTE: The iR1600 is configured to default to the Normal mode. You can switch to a different mode by changing parameters through the modem’s diagnostic menu. Please refer to the “Gateway/AVL Mode Configuration” chapter in the back of this guide for detailed instructions on how to switch operating modes.

• AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location): In this mode, the modem uses the internal GPS receiver to send GPS NMEA sentences over the packet data network to a specific IP address and port number. The data is encapsulated into UDP or TCP packets, which allows it to be transmitted over the iDEN packet data network to a pre-defined IP address. The modem maintains a non-volatile revolving history of the GPS information and provides a ‘store and forward’ capability for periods when communication within the iDEN network is lost. When AVL mode is activated, the GPS port on the modem is also active. NOTE: Only the iR1600 GPS-Enabled modem can operate in the AVL mode and send AVL messages.

• GATEWAY: In this mode, the modem receives basic serial data from the host device via the user port, and encapsulates it into UDP or TCP packets. The data is sent out over the iDEN packet data network to a pre-defined IP address. Similarly, the modem receives appropriately addressed packets from the iDEN network, parses the data, and sends it to the user via the serial port.

• NORMAL: In this mode, an IP enabled host device may utilize the iDEN packet data network via a PPP connection to the iR1600 modem. Alternately, a non-IP enabled host may make an iDEN circuit switched connection using standard Hayes AT commands.

Data Connections The iR1600 provides the following data connections: • Packet Data: A wireless modem connection used for accessing the Internet, sending and receiving e-mail, and transferring small files over

the packet data network using standard IP protocols. Data is sent in packets (blocks) of data at high speed. • Circuit Switched Data: A wireless modem connection for sending and receiving data (faxes, files, etc.) over the circuit-switched cellular

channel, providing a direct point-to-point connection with the destination device.

Modem Types eLutions offers two models of the iR1600 Modem. Both are designed to provide wireless communication for rugged environments. The distinction between the two models is the optional GPS feature. The iR1600 modem is available in the following models: • iR1600 Rugged Modem (Base Model) - Available in bulk or individual packaging. • iR1600 GPS-Enabled Modem - Available in bulk or individual packaging.

Configuration Guide

elutions.com 21

NOTE: iR1600 is configured to default to the Normal mode. Please refer to the “Normal Mode Configuration” chapter in this guide to continue configuring the modem to operate in Normal mode.

Set up for Gateway or AVL Mode Gateway Mode

The Gateway mode provides a virtual serial connection over the IP network. In Gateway mode, the modem allows a non-TCP/IP enabled device to be connected to the modem port and communicate using the iDEN packet data connection. The modem accepts serial data from the device attached to the modem port (the DTE), places it in IP packets, and sends it to a predefined port and IP address on the network. Conversely, when the modem receives IP packets from the network, the data is removed from the IP packets and sends it to the DTE.

AVL Mode (GPS-Enabled modem only)

This mode uses the internal GPS receiver to send GPS NMEA sentences over the packet data network to a specified IP address and port number. When AVL mode is activated, only the GPS port on the modem is activated. Only the iR1600 GPS-Enabled modem can send AVL messages.

Connect to Diagnostic Port

To start configuring the iR1600 modem, you will need to connect a computer to the modem’s diagnostic port using the RS-232 serial cable. The following diagram depicts the location of the diagnostic port on the front panel of the modem.

Option Description

1 - TCP Client In Gateway mode, this selection will cause the iR1600 to use TCP for the transport layer protocol and function as a client and initiate the connection to a TCP server. In AVL mode, this selection will cause the iR1600 to use TCP for the transport layer. When AVL pushes data on a timed basis, it always acts as a client and initiates a connection to a server. In this mode, the modem can be polled for AVL data by using the “?P” command string.

iR1600 Modem

elutions.com 70

Option Description

2 - TCP Server In Gateway mode, this selection will cause the iR1600 to use TCP for the transport layer protocol and function as a server and listen for connections from a TCP client. In AVL mode, this selection will cause the iR1600 to use TCP for the transport layer. When AVL pushes data on a timed basis, it always acts as a client and initiates a connection to a server. It also has the option of acting as a server and can listen for connections and be polled for AVL information.

3 - UDP In Gateway and AVL modes, this selection will cause the iR1600 to use UDP for the transport layer protocol.

4 - Hayes TCP Client

This mode only effects Gateway mode and is a subset of TCP client mode. This mode partially emulates the Hayes compatible packet data mode of the iO1000 modem. When set to this mode, the iR1600 will accept AT commands from the DTE. The AT command of significance in this mode is the following: ATD ip_address..port_number. The ip_address field must be separated by either two dots or two commas. Where ip_address is the IP address of the TCP server that iR1600 will connect to, and port_number is the TCP port on the server. The IP address is the ASCII dot notation for IP addresses such as 1.2.3.4, domain names are not supported. Commas instead of dots are also acceptable. Whether using commas or dots, only one or the other may be used, but not both. NOTE: The ATD command must begin a line of input from the DTE and must be terminated with a carriage return and line feed. All other commands and lines, other than mis-formatted ATD commands, will result in the iR1600 in returning OK in order to facilitate dialers that try to send initialization commands to a modem.

Configuration Guide

elutions.com 71

Option Description

Upon the iR1600 successfully connecting to the TCP server after receiving the ATD command from the DTE, the iR1600 will send a connect message along with the connect data rate to the DTE. An example of this is as follows:

CONNECT 57600 - The data rate provided in the connect message usually indicates the data rate of the DTE, with a maximum of 57600 since that is the data rate the iR1600 communicates to the radio board. Once the connection has been established and the connect messages has been sent to the DTE, the iR1600 then enters online mode and any further data received from the DTE will be sent to the TCP server. The iR1600 will stay in online mode until either the DTE drops DTR or a ‘+++’ is received from the DTE. If either of those two events occurs, the iR1600 will revert back to command mode and be ready to accept another ATD sequence from the DTE. If the iR1600 could not connect, and ERROR message will be sent to the DTE and the iR1600 will remain in command mode.

NOTE: It should be noted that loss of ignition sense, detection of reset button push, or detection of the diagnostic port during configuration will cause the modem to exit whatever mode it is operating in. When power or connection is reestablished, the iR1600 will return to whichever mode it was set to previously.

5 – BSAP Router This mode allows the routing of BSAP messages between a host computer (BSAP Level 0) and remote controllers (BSAP LEVEL 1-6) through the iDEN network. Each end, both the host computer, and the remote controllers are set up to expect a direct wired serial interface. (The same as if they were direct wired). The iR1600 accepts the serial BSAP messages and delivers the messages to the proper point.

Host Modem - The iR1600 connected to the host PC (at BSAP Level 0) is set to BSAP router mode and will accept a serial BSAP message from the host computer

Remote Modem - The iR1600 connected to the remote device should be configured to operate in UDP Gateway mode.

For detailed steps of how to configure the BSAP Router parameters, see page 101. NOTE: When setting up the BSAP network, both the host and remote DTE configuration must be set to NO FLOW CONTROL.

TCP/UDP Configuration Menu The iR1600 TCP/UDP Configuration menu allows you to set the communication parameters for the modem. Descriptions of these options are listed below.

Option Description

1 - Primary Remote IP Address

The primary remote IP address specifies the node to which the iR1600 will communicate. TCP Client – in this mode, the address must be set to a valid IP address to which the iR1600 will connect and communicate. TCP Server - in this mode, the remote IP address can be set to a valid IP address to indicate that the iR1600 should restrict communications to only the node at that address or other IPs that have been defined on the Access Control List (ACL). If you want to allow the iR1600 to communicate with any node at any IP address, then the value “0.0.0.0.” should be entered.

UDP mode – in this mode, the address must be set to a valid IP address to which the iR1600 will send UDP packets.

Configuration Guide

elutions.com 75

Option Description

If you want to allow the iR1600 to communicate with any node at any IP address, then the value “0.0.0.0.” should be entered. If the value is set to “0.0.0.0”, then the modem will send data to the address it last connected with. Hayes TCP Client - this field has no impact in Hayes TCP Client mode. AVL mode – in this mode, the address must be set to a valid IP address to which the iR1600 will connect and communicate. If this value is set to 0.0.0.0, AVL mode will not push data. NOTE: Currently, the iR1600 can only communicate with one node at a time. Capabilities to communicate with multiple nodes will be in a future release.

2 - Remote Port Number

The remote port number specifies the TCP or UDP port to which the iR1600 will connect and communicate. TCP Client – in this mode, the address must be set to a valid port number to which the iR1600 will connect and communicate. TCP Server – in this mode, this value is not used. UDP – in this mode, the address must be set to a valid port number to which the iR1600 will send UDP packets. The modem will send data to the port it last connected with. Hayes TCP Client - this field has no impact in Hayes TCP Client mode. AVL – in this mode, this value must be set to a valid port number to which the iR1600 will connect and communicate. If the port number is set to 0, AVL mode will not push data.

Option Description

3 - Local Port Number

The local port number specifies the TCP or UDP port through which the iR1600 will communicate. TCP Client – in this mode, the value is not used. TCP Server – in this mode, the value must be set to the port number to which the iR1600 will listen. UDP – in this mode, the address must be set to a valid port number to which the iR1600 will listen for UDP packets. Hayes TCP Client - this field has no impact in Hayes TCP Client mode. AVL – in this mode, to allow the iR1600 to be polled for AVL data, this value must be set to a valid port number to which the iR1600 will listen for the polling request. If this value is set to 0, then the iR1600 cannot be polled for AVL data.

4 -Socket Timeout

As mentioned previously, TCP is a connection oriented protocol. Sometimes connections become abandoned for various reasons. To have the iR1600 cleanup abandoned connections, set the socket timeout field. After the specified number of seconds of no activity (either transmission or receive) on that socket, the iR1600 will close out the socket. If this value is set to 0, the iR1600 will not close idle sockets. The selection of this value should be carefully chosen and should take into account the communication system as a whole. NOTE: This value is only used for TCP connections. The value for this parameter must be greater than the retransmit timeout.

The range for this parameter is 0-65535 seconds. This parameter defaults to 60 seconds, which is the recommended setting for this parameter.

Configuration Guide

elutions.com 77

Option Description

5 - Retransmit Timeout

As part of its error recovery mechanism, TCP may need to resend a packet. It knows to resend the packet because it did not receive an acknowledgement when it previously sent the packet. When selecting this value, you should keep in mind the transit time for the packet to be sent to the remote node, and for the transit time for the acknowledgement to be received from the remote node. Care should be taken to not set this number too high, since this may cause an inordinate amount of time to recover from an error and the remote system may view this as an error. We recommend setting the value in the range of 5 to 10 seconds. NOTE: The value is only used for TCP connections and has no effect in UDP mode. The value for this parameter must be less than the socket timeout.

6 - Keep TCP Client Socket Open

In TCP Client mode, the iR1600 does not open a connection to the server until it has received data from the DTE (and has met one of the events defined in the PAD configuration). This ensures that a connection won’t be opened that will then sit idle and unused. There are times when this is not always advantageous. For example, if the DTE has no data to send, but the server does want to send data to the DTE, the server will have to wait for the DTE to have data before the connection is opened. To set the iR1600 where it will immediately open the socket and to keep it open (regardless of whether the DTE has data to send) you should set this value to Yes. NOTE: This setting will work in conjunction with the socket timeout. A socket timeout may occur, causing an open connection to be closed.

This parameter is not used in TCP Server mode since the socket is controlled by other PCs. Similarly, this parameter is not used in the UDP connection.

7 – Access Control List Configuration

When the modem is in either Gateway or AVL operating mode, it will act as a “listener” and will use the ACL to query for available IP addresses. This option provides access to the Access Control List Menu where IP addresses can be specified.

PAD Configuration Menu The PAD (Packet Assembler/Disassembler) Configuration Menu allows you to configure the events that will trigger the modem to send data that is received from the DTE to the remote. These parameters are used only when the modem is operating in the Gateway mode. The iR1600 only sends data when at least one of the trigger events is true. The two values are used in conjunction to provide the operational characteristics of Gateway mode. You should carefully consider the entire system when setting these values.

The following table lists the parameters and their descriptions available on the PAD Configuration Menu.

Option Description

1 - PAD Inter-Character Timeout

This parameter indicates a pause between received characters in tenths of a second. If the DTE stops sending characters for at least this amount of time, the iR1600 will send whatever data it has received up to that point from the DTE to the remote. The value is in tenths of a second, so if you want to send data after a two-second delay, the value should be set to 20.

Configuration Guide

elutions.com 87

Option Description

2 - PAD Maximum Packet Length

This parameter indicates the number of bytes of data to receive from the DTE before sending. For example, if this value was set to 20, after at least 20 bytes have been received from the DTE, the iR1600 will send 20 bytes of the received data. These two parameters work together to determine when data is sent. The following two examples best illustrate this using 20 for the inter-character timeout and 20 byte as the maximum packet length. 1. 19 characters are received from the DTE and then the DTE stops. After 2 seconds, the

iR1600 sends the 19 received characters. 2. The DTE sends data to the iR1600 with no pauses. After 20 bytes have been received from

the DTE, the iR1600 sends them.

The following steps describe how to set the parameters on the PAD Configuration menu.

Set PAD Inter-Character Timeout Parameter

1. From the iR1600 PAD Configuration menu, type “1” to set PAD inter-character timeout parameter for the modem.

2. Enter the desired PAD inter-character timeout setting at the Enter PAD Inter-Character Timeout (seconds/10) prompt and press Enter.


Set PAD Maximum Packet Length Parameter

1. From the iR1600 PAD Configuration menu, type “2” to set the PAD maximum packet length parameter for the modem.

2. Enter the desired PAD maximum packet length at the Enter PAD Maximum Packet Length (1-900 bytes) prompt and press Enter.

AVL Configuration Menu This menu is used to configure the operational characteristics of the iR1600 in AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) mode. When in AVL mode, it is possible for the iR1600 to go out of cell coverage, meaning that it will not be able to report its GPS data (i.e. position, speed, etc.) back to the host system. The iR1600 has store and forward capabilities to handle the potential lost of GPS data. The store and forward parameters can be set up from the AVL Configuration Menu.

The following table lists the parameters and their descriptions available on the AVL Configuration Menu.

Command Description Recommended setting

1 - AVL Report Period This parameter specifies how often the iR1600 will ‘push’ AVL (GPS) data to the remote. If the value is set to “0”, this feature is disabled and the modem will never push AVL data to the remote.

BSAP Router Configuration Menu The BSAP Router Configuration menu allows you to enter the IP Address and port information of devices that will route BSAP messages between a host computer (BSAP Level 0) and remote controllers (BSAP LEVEL 1-6) through the iDEN network. Each end, both the host computer, and the remote controllers are set up to expect a direct wired serial interface. (The same as if they were direct wired). The iR1600 accepts the serial BSAP messages and delivers the messages to the proper point. NOTE: The host modem can store up to sixty (60) remote devices' address. The complete IP address and BSAP address is entered on the BSAP Router Configuration Menu. If the Access Control List feature is being used on either the host or remote modem, then the IP addresses must also be entered in the Access Control List l. Otherwise, the iR1600 should have their remote address in TCP/UDP mode configuration set to 0.0.0.0 (allow all).

Configure the Host’s Modem

The iR1600 connected to the host PC (at BSAP Level 0) is set to BSAP router mode and will accept a serial BSAP message from the host computer, encapsulate it into a UDP datagram, and send the datagram through the iDEN network to a remote iR1600 running in UDP Gateway mode. The receiving iR1600 modem then pulls the BSAP message out of the UDP datagram, and transmits it out of its serial port to the remote controller. When the remote controller replies, this serial message is encapsulated into a UDP datagram, and then sent back through the iDEN network to the host's iR1600 modem. The iR1600 connected to the host pulls the BSAP message out of the UDP wrapper and sends it out of the serial port back to the host PC.

S-Register Page 127

Programming S-Register Page 127

Reading S-Register Page 128

Supported S-Register Page 128

S-Registers S-registers are memory locations in the modem that you can program to meet your communication needs. S-register parameters are numbered from 0 (zero) to 255. Since many of the registers are reserved for internal operation purposes, you are allowed to customize only a subset of the modem’s register.

Programming the S-Register The following table describes the steps to program an S-Register.

1. From the command mode of your communication software, type ATSn=x where n is the number of the S-register you wish to customize and x is the value that you wish to assign to that register.

2. Press ENTER to execute the command.

!

You may experience undesirable consequences if you modify the S7 or S10 registers from their set default values. For optimal performance, it is recommended that you use the default values set for these two registers. If you write to an S-register that is not programmable or if the value you assigned is invalid, the modem will still return an OK message to the computer screen. The attempted changes will not affect the S-register values.

Reading an S-Register Value The following table describes how to read a value for an S-Register.

1. From the command mode, type ATSn (n= the number of the S-register that you want to read) and press ENTER.

2. The value of the requested S-register displays.

NOTE: If you attempt to read the value of an S-register that is not supported, the modem will display an ERROR message.

Supported S-Registers The following table outlines the list of S-Registers that can be used to customize your modem.

Register # Function 0 Automatic Answer. Determines if the modem automatically answers incoming calls.

• If the value assigned to this register is 0 (zero), the modem does not answer the call but sends an appropriate message to the computer that commands the modem to answer the call.

• If the value assigned to this register is a non-zero, the modem answers the call without waiting for the computer to issue its answer-call command.

Valid value ranges from 0 (zero) to 255. 0 (zero) is the default value. 2 Escape (ESC) Code Character. Specifies the ASCII character to be used to escape

from either data or online mode to command mode. Valid value ranges from 0 (zero) to 127. 43 or the ASCII plus (+) key is the default value.

3 Command Line Terminating Character. Specifies the ASCII character to be used to terminate a command line without carrying out any command that might be issued. Valid value ranges from 0 (zero) to 127. 13 (which represents the ENTER (PC Compatible) or RETURN (Macintosh) key) is the default value.

4 Response Format Character. Valid value ranges from 0 (zero) to 127. 10 is the default value.

5 Command Line Editing Character. Valid value ranges from 0 (zero) to 127. 8 (representing the Backspace key) is the default value.

APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY

This glossary contains terms and definitions used within this guide. It is by no means exhaustive of terms that you may come across.

ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A standard set of 128 characters, symbols and control codes used for computer communications. ASCII characters require 7 bits of data to send, but are often sent 8 bits at a time with the extra bit being a zero.

Asynchronous Communication A method of sending data in which the bits can be sent at random times. Data transmission is not synchronized to a clock. With asynchronous transmission, each character is transmitted one at a time with a “start” bit at the beginning and one or more “stop” bits at the end. Any amount of time can elapse before the next character can be sent.

AT Command An order entered into the computer to request your modem to perform certain actions, such as dial a telemodem number. AT commands are Hayes-compatible modem commands.

Baud The signaling rate of a line, which is the number of transitions (voltage or frequency changes) that are made per second.

Baud Rate Signaling speed of the modem. Common baud rates are 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, and 56k.

Byte A data unit of eight bits.

Circuit Switched Data A networking technology that provides a temporary, but dedicated, connection between two stations no matter how many switching devices the data is routed through. Circuit Switch was originally developed for the analog-based telephone system in order to guarantee steady, consistent service for two people engaged in a phone conversation.

Command Mode The mode that accepts AT commands. Also known as Terminal Mode. When your modem is in this mode, it is waiting to receive AT commands that you type from your communication software.

Communication Software A computer program designed to connect your computer to an external source, such as another computer or a fax machine.

Configuration The term configuration defines the hardware components that comprise a subsystem and system. It is a set of conditions or parameters that define the structure of an item such as the GPS processing and characteristics of the RS-232 interface ports.

Data Services One of the functions of your iDEN modem. Data services uses both circuit-switched and packet data transmissions.

DCD Data Carrier Detect. An acceptable carrier signal received by the modem over the modem line. Also known as Received Line Signal Indicator (RLSI).

DCE Data Communication Equipment. The equipment that establishes, maintains, and terminates a connection. It converts data into units of sound and vice versa for communication over telemodem or cellular networks.

Default A factory preset choice that, under normal circumstances, works best for your system. You can either accept the default or change it.

Differential Capable A term used to describe a GPS receiver capable of receiving and applying differential GPS corrections.

Differential GPS A procedure of correcting GPS solutions to achieve improved position accuracy. Differential GPS provides 2 to 5 meter position accuracy. Differential accuracy is obtained by applying corrections determined by the stationary Differential Reference Station to the GPS data collected by the RPU (receiver processing unit) on-board the vehicle.

DNS Domain Name Server. This is what converts names of domains (ex.: www.elutions.com) into IP addresses (ex. : 64.31.159.2). The DNS server that you use is generally situated with your access provider.

DTE Data Terminal Equipment. A computer or hand-held device that generates and receives data, and provides functions that control data communications through a device like the modem.

Dial Up Networking (DUN) A component in Windows that enables you to connect your computer to a network via modem. If your computer is not connected to a LAN and you want to connect to the Internet, you need to configure Dial-Up-Networking (DUN) to dial a Point of Presence (POP) and log into your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Your ISP will need to provide certain information, such as the Gateway address and your computer’s IP address.

Firmware A set of software computer/processor instructions permanently or semi-permanently resident in read-only memory.

Frequency The number of vibrations per second of an audio or radio signal. Measured in hertz (Hz), Kilohertz (kHz), or megahertz (MHz). GPS frequencies are L1= 1575.42 MHz or L2= 1227.60 MHz.

GPS (Global Positioning System) is a "constellation" of 24 well-spaced satellites that orbit the Earth and make it possible for people with ground receivers to pinpoint their geographic location. The location accuracy is anywhere from 100 to 10 meters for most equipment. Accuracy can be pinpointed to within one (1) meter with special military-approved equipment. The GPS is owned and operated by the U.S. Department of Defense but is available for general use around the world.

GPS Antenna An antenna designed to receive GPS radio navigation signals.

GPS Processor An electronic device that interprets the GPS radio navigation signals (received by the GPS antenna) and determines a location solution. The GPS processor may also be able to apply (and determine) differential GPs corrections.

GPS Receiver The combination of GPS antenna and GPS processor.

Hand-Held Devices Small computing appliances, such as palmtops, personal digital assistants and pen-based computers.

Hertz (Hz) A frequency unit equal to one cycle per second.

Home Agent The carrier or router responsible for determining the next network point to which a packet (data) should be forwarded toward its destination.

Internet A series of interconnected local, regional, national and international networks, linked using TCP/IP. The Internet links many government, university, research and commercial sites. It provides e-mail, Web browsing and file transfer services.

Internet Service Provider (ISP) Provides your computer with Internet access. Also known as Service Provider.

Intranet A network based on TCP/IP protocols (an internet) belonging to an organization, usually a corporation, accessible only by the organization’s members, employees or others with authorization. An Intranet’s Web sites look and act just like any other Web sites, but the firewall surrounding an intranet fends off unauthorized access.

Kbps Kilobits per second. Generally represented at 1000 bits per second.

Laptops Portable computers, such as notebooks and sub-notebooks.

Local Area Network (LAN) A computer network that spans over a relatively small area. Most LANs are confined to a single building or group of buildings.

Mobile IP An IP enhancement that provides forwarding of traffic to moving users. It uses agents in the user’s home network and in all foreign networks. When logging on to a remote network, users register their presence with the foreign agent, and the home agent forwards the packets to the remote network. Mobile IP permits mobile devices to inform a “visited” network that it is present and then arrange to have its home network forward data to it automatically.

Modem An electronic device enabling digital data to be sent over analog transmission facilities. Converts a digital signal to analog and back to digital again. Modem stands for Modulator/De-Modulator.

NMEA National Marine Electronics Association. An association that defines marine electronic interface standards for the purpose of serving the public interest.

Non-Routable IP A communications protocol that contains only a device address and not a network address. It does not incorporate an addressing scheme for sending data from one network to another. Examples of non-routable protocols are NetBIOS and DEC’s LAT protocols. Also some TCP’IP addresses are considered non-routable.

Non-Volatile Memory Memory that holds its content without power. Permanently stored information that is not lost when you power off. ROMs, PROMs, EPROMs and flash memory are examples.

Packet of Data A bundle or block of data, organized in a specific way for transmission.

Parallel Port A low speed port, usually located on the rear of a computer, which usually connects to printers. Parallel ports transmit data simultaneously over eight “parallel wires” one byte at a time (as opposed to a serial port, which transmits data one bit at a time).

Parity Bit Parity is a process for detecting whether bits of data have been altered during transmission. A Parity Bit is a non-data bit that is added to a group of data bits to check for transmission errors. Parity Bits are used in Parity checking which is an error-checking method in asynchronous transmission. The parity bit tells the receiving end of a transmission whether there should be an even or odd number of bits contained in that transmission.

PIN Personal Identification Number.

PING (Packet INternet Groper) An Internet utility used to determine whether a particular IP address is online. It is used to test and debug a network by sending out a packet and waiting for a response. A program used to test whether or not a network component is available.

PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) The most common method for connecting to the Internet. PPP provides serial line (dial-up) connectivity, authentication, compression and encryption between two computers and can handle several protocols simultaneously.

Protocol Hardware and software standards that govern transmission between two communications devices. There are several layers, or levels, of functionality in a protocol. Each layer may be available, as a separate software component, or several layers may be combined into one.

Public IP Address See Routable IP Address.

RAM Random Access Memory is the working memory of the computer where you can enter information and call up data.

iR1600 Modem

elutions.com 146

Routable IP Address (Public IP Address) A communications protocol that contains a network address as well as a device address, allowing data to be routed from one network to another. Examples of routable protocols are SNA, OSI, TCP/IP, XNS, IPX, AppleTalk and DECnet.

RS-232 A communication standard for digital data. Specifies a number of signal and control lines. RS-232 is often associated with a 25-pin connector called DB-25.

Serial Port An input/output (I/O) port transmits data one bit at a time, as opposed to a parallel port that transmits multiple (usually eight) bits simultaneously. RS232C is a common serial interface standard.

Service Specific Software A program designed for a designated online service such as AOL.

Start Bit A data bit used in asynchronous transmission to signal the beginning of the character.

Stop Bit A data bit used in asynchronous transmission to signal the end of the character.

System Administrator The person responsible for monitoring computer activity in a specified area, such as a company.

Synchronous Communication A method of sending digital data in which the bits come at fixed, rather than random, times and are synchronized to a clock.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) The two best-know Internet protocols, often erroneously thought of as one protocol. TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and guarantees that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent. IP acts as a postal system, allowing you to address a package and drop it in the system, but doesn’t provide a direct link between you and the recipient. TCP/IP, on the other hand, establishes a connection between two hosts so that they can send messages back and forth for a period of time.

Terminal Mode The mode that accepts AT commands. Also known as Command Mode. When your modem is in this mode, it is waiting to receive AT commands that you type from your communications software.

Transmission Rate The rate at which data is transferred measured in bits per second. Common transfer rates are 9.6bps / 19200bps / 57600bps / 115200bps
