 Draft 1  BlueTree Wireless BT-4600/BT-5600 Product Manual   8 Chapter 2:  Product Description Overview   The BT4600/5600 modem gives today's mobile organization the reliable, instant access to information that is critical for its teams. The unit is a fully integrated CDMA modem, which adds wireless 1xEvDO functionality to remote and mobile applications. These are designed for harsh environment installations and are tested to meet strict military and automotive standards. These modems are intended for use with a host platform such as a computer or remote data terminal unit. These modems also contain an embedded processor and the intelligence to transfer data from one source to another over the wireless network without the need for any additional computing device. BlueVue Device Manager software The modem package also includes BlueVue Device Manager software. The Device Manager application makes configuring and monitoring your modem simple and quick. With this software modem administrators can: • Provision modem on wireless network (Activation) • Configure operating parameters • Monitor status information Note:  Refer to BlueVue Device Manager manual for more details. Available Models BlueTree offers two models of CDMA wireless rugged modem: • BT4600 wireless modem - base model with TCP/IP capability. • BT5600 wireless modem - GPS model with TCP/IP and positioning capabilities.
 Draft 1  BlueTree Wireless BT-4600/BT-5600 Product Manual   9 Modem Features The BT4600/5600 modems offers the following features: CDMA Dual-band  Supports both North American frequency bands: 800 and 1900 MHz CDMA 1xEvDO  Compatible with CDMA IS-2000 (1xEvDO ) Wireless data services. Backward compatible with IS95 protocols. Short Message Services (SMS)  Supports both mobile originate and mobile terminate text messaging 3 different data connection interfaces Serial/RS-232, Ethernet, and USB.  Note: USB is not available on product release 1.0 TPC/IP Stack  Fully integrated TCP/IP protocols allowing the modem to connect autonomously to the packet network (internet). This feature enables capabilities such as: In-call diagnostic, Serial-IP, stand-alone GPS, remote configuration, and remote firmware upgrade. In-call diagnostic  Allows the user to get modem status information while in a data call, without interrupting the data session. Serial-IP  Encapsulates data coming from the serial port into a TCP or UDP packet and sends it to a remote server on the packet network. Decapsulates IP packets coming from the network and sends raw data to the serial port. Remote configuration  Using the BlueVue Device Manager, this feature allows the administrator to remotely configure or perform remote diagnostics on the modem. Note: For more information, refer to the BlueVue Device Manager manual.  Remote firmware upgrade  Using the BlueVue Device Manager, this feature allows the administrator to remotely upgrade the modem’s firmware. Note: For more information, refer to the BlueVue Device Manager manual. Remote access security  For remote configuration, the modem offers access protection through username and password authentication. Integrated GPS Receiver  Available on the BT5600 only, a Trimble GPS receiver is embedded into the modem for Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL). The modem can report this positioning data locally to any of the data interfaces (serial, Ethernet, USB), or also remotely to a predefined server (see stand-alone).
 Draft 1  BlueTree Wireless BT-4600/BT-5600 Product Manual   10 Stand-alone GPS  Available on the BT5600 only, this feature allows remote asset tracking by sending GPS data to a remote server without the need for a client application on the data terminal. Store and Forward  Available on the BT5600 only, this feature allows GPS data storage. If a unit loses communication, the data being collected through GPS will be stored in memory and forwarded when communication is reestablished. Inputs and Outputs  Not available on the product release 1.0. Operational Description Wireless connection modes The BT4600/5600 can connect to the wireless data network in three different ways: • Packet Data (1xEvDO/1xRTT): allows outgoing calls using either IS-2000 1xEvDO or 1xRTT cellular protocols, in the same order of priority. It is intended for TCP/IP connections to the internet. 1xEvDO allows speed up to 2.4Mbps. • Packet Data (1xRTT): allows outgoing calls only using either IS-2000 1xEvDO cellular protocols. It is intended for TCP/IP connections to the internet. 1xEvDO allows speed up to 2.4M. • Packet Data (QNC): allows outgoing calls only using IS-95 QNC cellular protocols. It is intended for TCP/IP connections to the internet. QNC allows speeds of up to 14.4Kbps. • Circuit Switched Data: allows for both outgoing and incoming calls using the circuit-switched IS-95 cellular protocol. It is intended for direct connections with a landline analog modem. Allows speeds of up to 14.4Kbps. Modem operating modes   The BT-5000/4000 series modems are capable of operating in two different networking modes, Router and Simple Modem modes. The mode that is in effect when a connection is established depends on the modem startup configuration and/or on the dialing strings used when a host or a terminal attached to the modem’s serial port initiates a connection.
 Draft 1  BlueTree Wireless BT-4600/BT-5600 Product Manual   11 Router mode: In router mode, the modem establishes a PPP Client connection with the network on the WAN side while a PPP Server accepts connections on the LAN side over the serial port. Packets are routed between the two connections for proper forwarding. Note:  Ethernet and future USB LAN-side connections automatically assume a router mode. Simple Modem mode: In Simple Modem mode, there are no PPP negotiations established by the modem. The modem simply operates at the physical layer and the PPP negotiations are passed-through between the LAN and WAN sides. The next sections assume host connections over the serial port. Modem configured to start in Always-On mode The modem can be configured to start in Always On mode. The modem configuration is accomplished using AT commands from a connection terminal like Microsoft® HyperTerminal, or using BlueTree Device Manager. Upon modem startup, this mode causes the modem to automatically establish and maintain a PPP connection with the network on the WAN side. This connection requires a connection profile to be configured in the modem prior to connecting. Note:  In this mode, the modem can achieve autonomous communication, like reporting GPS data to preconfigured IP destinations, without the need for a host. When a host, attached to the serial port of a modem in the Always-On mode, sends a dial command to the modem, the following connection behavior applies: • If the dial string is the special string “#BTPPPS” or is the same dial string used in the modem connection profile of the modem, router mode comes in effect, PPP server is started and accepts the connection. • If the dial string is not “#BTPPPS” and is different from the one used in the configured connection profile, then the WAN-side connection is terminated and the modem reverts to the Simple Modem mode as described above. Modem configured to start in On-Demand mode In this mode, the same logic applies as in the Always-On mode with the exception that the WAN connection is established only when a dial command is received from the LAN-side. If no connection profile is configured in the modem, the On-Demand connection always puts the modem in Simple Modem mode except when the “#BTPPPS” dial string is used. In this case, PPP server starts on the LAN side and a PPP connection is established with the modem only.
