Chapter 1

USING THE 8000 GPRS CRADLE

The 8000 GPRS Cradle is a charging & communication cradle that is specifically designed for connecting CipherLab 8000 Series Mobile Computers to WWAN via GPRS or GSM data services. Refer to Chapter 4

This chapter explains how it works and the three working modes supported by the 8000 GPRS Cradle. Please contact your Internet service provider (ISP) or network operator for information on GPRS related settings, such as

 APN (name of access point that connects the mobile network to the Internet)  IP address (DHCP or static)  User name and password (may be optional, depending on Challenge-Handshake

Authentication Protocol)

For quick deployment, we provide a utility (.SHX) that can be downloaded to your mobile computer and used to configure, test, and upgrade firmware of as many cradles as you have. Refer to Chapter 2

Firmware.

Programming Your Mobile Computer.

Configuring the 8000 GPRS Cradle and Chapter 3 Upgrading

Warning: It is recommended that the charging devices be operated at room

temperature (18°C to 25°C) for optimal performance. The charging devices will not charge the battery when the temperature exceeds 40°C.

8000 GPRS Cradle Reference Manual

1.1 HOW IT WORKS

Referring to the flow chart on the next page, LED 2 and LED 3 are used to indicate a specific stage of initialization, data connection, as well as firmware download. They are explained below (by number).

1) Initializing

After powering on, the LEDs of Tx/Rx and Link will flash by turns at the time interval of 0.25 seconds for about 30 seconds, indicating the cradle is in initialization process.

2) Initialization OK

If initialization is done successfully, t he LED of Link will flash at th e time interval of 1 second, waiting for AT commands.

3) Initialization NG

If initialization fails, the LED of Tx/Rx will flash at the time interval of 0.5 seconds, indicating an error occurs. For example, it might fail to pass PIN authentication, the signal strength is weak for the GSM network, the Access Point name is incorrect, etc. For details on the specific initialization error, use “ Although initialization fails, the cradle can still accept AT commands. In case of the

ATDT” command, it will re-initialize before dialing out.

“

AT+ERR?” to get the error code.

4) Dialing out

When in Dial mode (

ATDT), the LED of Link will flash at the time interval of 0.3

seconds for about 20 seconds.

5) Connected

When in Dial mode (

ATDT), the LED of Link will be green after successfully

establishing a connection.

6) Data Transmission

When in Dial mode (

ATDT), the LED of Tx/Rx will flash as long as data transmission

occurs.

7) Download Ready

When in Download mode (

AT+DOWNLOAD), the LEDs of Tx/Rx and Link will fla sh by

turns to indicate the cradle is ready.

8) Downloading

When in Download mode ( simultaneously to indicate downloading is in progress.

AT+DOWNLOAD), the LEDs of Tx/Rx and Link will flash

Chapter 1 Using the 8000 GPRS Cradle

8000 GPRS Cradle Reference Manual

1.2 DIAL MODES

When the mobile computer is seated in the cradle, it can send the collected data back to a remote server, as well as download lookup files, via GSM or GPRS.

When dialing out (

ATDT), the LED of Link will flash at the time interval of 0.3 second s for

about 20 seconds. When connected, the LED of Link will be green after successfully establishing a connection. The LED of Tx/Rx will flash as long as data transmission occurs.

Note: It is suggested to issue the command “

AT” every five seconds for best practice, in

order to check whether the mobile computer is seated in the cradle. The escape sequence, consisting of three characters “

+++”, is used to terminate

the data connection.

1.2.1 GSM CONNECTION

When initialization is done, issue ATDT(phone number) to establish data connection via GSM.

1.2.2 GPRS CONNECTION

When initialization is done, issue ATDTxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:kkkk or ATDT[HostName:Port] to establish data connection via GPRS. The buffer size of the cradle is 1460 bytes, and data packet will be sent out as long as it satisfies any of the following requirements:

 buffer is full (= maximum packet size is 1460 bytes)  delimiter character is encountered  end of transmission timeout (= no transmission for 5 milliseconds)

Due to the limited memory size, the cradle cannot send three packets at the same time, and therefore, the third packet will be discarded. We suggest you enable the Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) setting for best practice.

Chapter 1 Using the 8000 GPRS Cradle

1.3 CONFIGURATION MODE

Regardless of the result of initialization, you can issue AT commands to configure the cradle, such as

8000 GPRS Cradle Reference Manual

4.2.1 AT COMMAND SYNTAX

The "AT" or "at" prefix must be set at the beginning of each command line. To terminate a command line, enter <CR>. Commands are usually followed by a response that includes "<CR><LF><response><CR><LF>".

 Parameter […]

Specify user-definable parameter values, which may be <text> or <number>.

 (ERR_STR)

If a connection fails, the response may include a string after the message “NO CARRIER”, providing further information on the connection error.

 [ERR_CODE]

If a connection fails, the response will always include a 6-digit hexadecimal number (always starting with “0x”). Refer to the Error Code table for detailed information.

Note: If you are programming in BASIC language, t he delimiter 0x0d (CR) is in use by

default. Refer to COM_DELIMITER().

The escape sequence consists of three characters “+++”. Once a connection has been established, type the escape sequence to return to command state. When entering the next command after an escape sequence, always wait to receive “\r\nOK\r\n”. An escape attempt in the interval may fail because the modem is not in on-line data state. There are equal guard time periods before (leading) and after (trailing).

The “+++” timing for this escape sequence is as illustrated below.

If the escape sequence is not followed by another command within 1 second (trailing guard time), the cradle will hang up immediately. Normally, the mobile computer will receive the message “OK” unless the line is abnormally busy.

Note: The escape sequence will break the connection. Th e Guard Time is 1 second and

cannot be changed.
