COMMAND LINE INTERFACE

The built-in user-friendly Command Line Interface (CLI) allows user to perform a full configuration of
the unit and read the statistics and alarm status. It is the most powerful tool to configure the unit. It makes
changes to all possible settings that system will not be able to determine automatically.
The CLI commands allow user to configure and reconfigure the unit's settings. The user configuration
parameters that could be changed through the CLI are: · Data Port Settings - Baud Rate - Flow control (None or RTS/CTS) - Stop bits · Alarm Settings1 · Radio operation modes · Scanning modes · Sleep modes2 - On/Off - Activate by internal real-time clock - Activate through RTS/CTS lines - Activate by external sense lines - Activate by any combination of the parameters mentioned before
Note: The unit's configuration that is set or modified through the CLI will be lost after unit's reboot, unless the
saving operation is used to store a new setting in the unit's configuration file.
The CLI commands also provide filing operations, which include: · Downloading - Unit's Configuration files - Software Images · Uploading Unit's Configuration files · Saving into the configuration files the configuration parameters modified through the CLI.
Command Line Interface Convention
The following convention is implemented in Beacon Receiver Command Line Interface (CLI): · The Carriage Return/Line Feed (CR/LF, 0x0D/0x0A) is a command delimiter. · The Carriage Return/Line Feed (CR/LF, 0x0D/0x0A) is a reply delimiter followed by the "CLI>" · prompt if Echo option is On. · The Carriage Return/Line Feed (CR/LF, 0x0D/0x0A) is a reply delimiter if Echo option is Off · (default option). · The 2-digit number followed by "@" in the unit's reply indicates the error code (refer to Table 3· 1 for description). · A successfully performed command is replied by @00 code for both Echo ON and OFF modes. · A command with the certain [Parameter Name] and blank [Parameter List] displays the current settings for a given parameter. · To set the mode ordered by CLI commands as permanent User Setting (the setting automatically selected

12

www.javad.com

for the boot-up unit) the SAVE command must be asserted. · [/?] orders to show the help information for the given command. · Commands are not key sensitive; small, none capital characters can be used to enter CLI commands.

Error Code

Short Description

0x01

Command Syntax Error. A command followed by "/?" displays a command usage.

0x02

The parameter has a format error. A command with the certain [Parameter Name] followed by "/

?"

displays the format and range of the variable.

0x03

The parameter is out of allowed range. A command with the certain [Parameter Name] followed by "/?" displays the format and range of the variable.

0x04

mands,the HELP command must be used (see "Software Switching to Maintenance

Mode" ).

0x05

Unspecified Error

SOFTWARE SWITCHING TO MAINTENANCE MODE
To switch to Maintenance mode the special byte-sequences with special meanings are used: · Escape-Sequence: "+++" with 20 ms guard time before and after the command characters · Escape-Acknowledge: "@00<CR><LF>" 20 ms toggling on CTS control line needed to acknowledge switching from Data to Maintenance mode and vice versa. In Maintenance mode, the unit's serial port must keep CTS line always active.
Happy Flow 1. In data-mode the unit starts looking for the Escape-sequence if there is no data from DTE for more than 20 ms (Start Guard Time). 2. If the unit detects the Escape-Sequence:
· The Receiver immediately stops forwarding to DTE the data received over the air and buffers it instead. 3. The radio unit waits for 20 ms and then sends Escape-Acknowledge to DTE if there is no data from DTE during 20 ms of Stop Guard Time. 4. The unit goes to Maintenance mode and discards Escape-Sequence from input buffer. The modem is immediately ready to receive commands. At the same time it continues buffering the data received over the air since step 2.

HARDWARE SWITCHING TO MAINTENANCE MODE
As alternative to Software Switching, the switching through the MP/DP control line can be used (this control line can be also used as Data Terminal Ready, DTR). To set Maintenance mode, the DTE must assert DTR signal active (0v level). By falling edge of DTR signal the unit goes to Maintenance mode and then sends Escape-Acknowledge to DTE (,,@00<CR><LF>"). 20 ms toggling on CTS control line followed by Escape-Acknowledge response is needed to acknowledge switching from Data to Maintenance mode and vice versa. In Maintenance Mode, the unit's serial port must keep Clear to Send (CTS) line always active.
Note: The powered up radio modem always goes to data mode.

www.javad.com

13

SWITCHING TO DATA MODE
· DTE sends the CLI command ,,DATAMODE<CR><LF>"to the unit. · Unit immediately goes to data mode without Escape Acknowledge. · If no valid CLI commands received from DTE within 1 minute, the unit will automatically switch back to data-mode.
Note: The data received over the air could be lost due to Rx buffer overflow if the unit stays in Maintenance mode longer than 15 seconds.

Returns the Almanac table of available Beacon reference stations scanned by second (Slave) Beacon receiver. Each line of the table contains information (Frequency, RSSI, Signal type, Reference station ID) about one Beacon reference station. The following is the structure of the Almanac table's line: <Frequency in Hz> <TAB> <RSSI in dBm> <TAB> <Signal type> <TAB> <REF Station ID> <CR> <LF>

BEACON SCANNING MODES

Beacon has the following two scanning modes:
1. Automatic (searching Beacon reference stations) In this mode two independent Beacon channels start cooperative searching of Beacon reference stations using the selected criteria in 1.1 and 1.2. Each found reference station is recorded in the
Almanac table where the following parameters of found station are specified: frequency, signal type, RSSI and Reference station ID. The RSSI parameter is recorded to determine the station providing the best RTCM signal. If no Beacon reference station is

14

www.javad.com

available the searching cycle is continued until one reference station is found. The Master Beacon locks to the first found reference station and starts RTCM data demodulation while the Slave Beacon continues searching in the background. If a synchronization loss occurs on Master Beacon then it switches to the best
RTCM signal (which has the highest RSSI) from the list of Beacon reference stations recorded by Slave Beacon.
The following are the Beacon reference station searching criteria used in the algorithm of Automatic scanning mode.
1.1. Frequency scanning criteria · Full range scanning with 500 Hz step ­ full frequency range is scanned with 500 Hz step (83 steps in the range from 283.5 kHz to 325 kHz); · Frequency map scanning ­ only the frequencies defined in the frequency map are scanned.
1.2. Signal type scanning criteria · All ­ On each step of frequency scanning all signal types are scanned (200bps, 100bps, 50bps) · · 200 bps ­ only 200 bps signals are taken into account; · 100 bps ­ only 100 bps signals are taken into account; · 50 bps ­ only 50 bps signals are taken into account.
Note: If in Automatic scanning mode the frequency channel or signal type is selected (by LINK CHAN and LINK SIGTYPE commands correspondingly) then the scanning mode is switched to Manual by the firmware automatically.
2. Manual
In this mode operator specifies the frequency (in the range from 283.5 kHz to 325 kHz) and signal type (200 bps, 100 bps or 50 bps) for Master Beacon to tune. The Slave Beacon performs Full range scanning for all signal types and fills the Almanac table in parallel.

JAVAD GNSS Inc. ("Company") warrants, to the end-user only, that the Narrow Band Radio Modems ("Radios") purchased (a) conforms to the Company's published specifications for the model purchased, and (b) is free from defects in material or workmanship.
The duration of this warranty is twelve (12) months from date of purchase and any claim for breach of warranty must be brought to the Company's attention within such twelve (12) month period and the Receiver must be returned for action on any such claim within twelve (12) months
from the date of purchase. Within a reasonable period of time after a claim, the Company will correct any failure of the Radio to conform to specifications or any defect in materials or workmanship, or replace the Radio, or, at its option, provide a full refund of the purchase price. A repaired or replaced product is warranted for 90 days from the date of return shipment to the buyer, or for the balance of the original warranty period, whichever is longer. These remedies are the buyer's exclusive remedies for breach of warranty.
To obtain warranty service, the buyer must return the Radio, postage-paid, with proof of the date of original purchase and the buyer's return address to the Company or an authorized service center. The Company will not be responsible for any loss or damage to the product incurred while it is in transit or is being shipped for repair. It is the buyer's responsibility to arrange for insurance, if the buyer so desires.
The Company does not warrant (a) any product, components or parts not manufactured by the Company, (b) defects caused by failure to provide a suitable installation environment for the Radio, (c) damage caused by disasters such as fire, flood, wind, and lightning, (e) damage caused by unauthorized attachments or modification, (f) damage during shipment, (g) any other abuse or misuse by the buyer, (h) that the Radio will be free from any claim for infringement of any patent, trademark, copyright or other proprietary right, including trade secrets.
THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED ARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

PURPOSE, AND IF APPLICABLE, IMPLIED WARRANTIES UNDER ARTICLE 35 OF THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS.
IN NO CASE SHALL THE COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF THE OWNERSHIP, USE OR OPERATION OF THE RADIO REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE PREDICATED OR BASED UPON BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. SUCH DAMAGES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF SAVINGS OR REVENUE, LOSS OF USE OF THE RADIO OR ANY ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT, COST OF CAPITAL, COST OF ANY SUBSTITUTE EQUIPMENT, FACILITIES OR SERVICES, THE CLAIMS OF THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING CUSTOMERS AND INJURY TO PROPERTY. THIS LIMITATION DOES NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS FOR PERSONAL INJURY. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITS ON WARRANTIES, OR ON REMEDIES FOR BREACH IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. IN SUCH STATES, THE LIMITS IN THIS PARAGRAPH AND THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH MAY NOT APPLY.
No employee of the Company, or any other party, is authorized to make any warranty in addition to those made in this document. This warranty allocates the risks of product failure between the Company and the buyer. This allocation is recognized by both parties and is reflected in the price of the goods. The buyer acknowledges that it has read this warranty, understands it, and is bound by its terms. This limited warranty is governed by the laws of the State of California, without reference to its conflict of law provisions or the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
