General Overview

The iR1600 modem includes capabilities such as embedded TCP/IP stack, alternate serial protocol conversion, store-and-forward for GPS coordinates and three (3) operating modes (Normal, AVL or Gateway). The expanded features make the iR1600 even more powerful while still maintaining the same ruggedized, flexible and reliable form factor.

Installation Guide

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 iDEN

packet data network to a pre-defined IP address. This also allows the modem to receive appropriately addressed packets from the



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.

• 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

• AVL: 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 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 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 appropriately addressed packets from the iDEN

• NORMAL: In this mode, an IP enabled host device may utilize the iDEN Alternately, a non-IP enabled host may make an iDEN

menu. Please refer to the “Configuring for Gateway/AVL Mode” chapter in the Configuration Guide for detailed instructions on how to switch operating modes.

packet data network via a PPP connection to the iR1600 modem.

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

Nextel 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.
