xxiiCrossCheck GSM Operation Manual
1 Overview
The CrossCheck GSM mobile unit integrates the digital GSM (Global
System for Mobile Communications) cellular phone, an 8-channel
GPS receiver, a controller supporting the
logging functions into a single package. This package is designed as a
mobile communications system module for Automatic Vehicle
Location (AVL) and mobile asset management applications. It
operates over the GSM cellular network allowing simple, fast, and
efficient transfer of information between the vehicle and base station.
1.1The CrossCheck GSM Mobile Unit
The CrossCheck GSM Cellular mobile unit consists of a single board
with integrated:
•
GSM cellular transceiver module
•
High-sensitivity, 8-channel GPS receiver
•
Controller featuring the IQEvent Engine and data-logging
functions integrated into a single package for mobile
positioning and tracking applications.

, and data-
This product’s features and functions are similar to other products in
the CrossCheck family including the CrossCheck AMPS and
CrossCheck XR.
The CrossCheck GSM is housed in a single compact enclosure that
simplifies the installation procedure and leads to greater reliability.
The unit contains an integrated fully featured GSM Normal Mobile
Station (MS) transceiver that supports data, voice, and SMS modes of
CrossCheck GSM Operation Manual1-1
Overview
operation. The GSM transceiver is designed to operate in dual-band at
900 MHz and1900 MHz.
The IQEvent Engine is a sophisticated event handler that allows the
CrossCheck GSM to be programmed or configured to respond to a
wide variety of events and signals.
Data logging is also supported, allowing the CrossCheck GSM to
store 2500 to 3000 records for subsequent download.
The CrossCheck GSM will support a variety of peripherals via its
standard RS232, MDT/Aux. interface. This interface supports TSIP,
TAIP, NMEA and GSM (ETSI 07.07, 07.05 and V.25ter) protocols.
The ability to use voice communication over the GSM network is
provided by an optional handset with an integral keypad and display.
For safety and security this feature supports hands-free operation
using an external loudspeaker and a separate microphone.
The CrossCheck GSM is designed to operate in a mobile environment
and accommodates supply voltages between 9 – 32 volts.
GSM and GPS antennas are required for operation. You also must
install a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) that has been initialized by
your GSM service provider.
The standard CrossCheck GSM configuration does not include a GPS
or GSM antenna as the type of antenna required depends on the
application, and these must be ordered separately.

1.2CrossCheck GSM Applications
Trimble Mobile Positioning & Communication (MPC) provides you
with the core products around which you can build systems and
applications for managing your transport and logistics assets.
MPC products address the need for an end-to-end solution. They
provide the building blocks at both ends of the asset management
system including the on-board units mounted in the vehicle and the
software installed at the fixed base station.
The on-board components are centered on the CrossCheck GSM, (the
GPS receiver with integrated
can use the CrossCheck GSM as a standalone unit or you can
interface it with external accessories and sensors to make it function
as part of an on-board system.
Optional external units include a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) to
provide a driver interface to exchange messages or generate manual

and a GSM phone). You
event reports, and a handset for use where voice communication is
required.
You can use the Trimble FleetVision software package at the base
station, as a standalone fleet management system or as the
communications platform for an integrated system. FleetVision
features include event and alarm reporting, data handling, as well as
map displays, allowing you to view the positions of mobile assets in
real-time or replayed for analysis purposes. FleetVision includes an
External System Interface (ESI) package. This gives system
integrators and application developers the ability to customize the
system by interfacing to third-party “back office systems” such as
order/stock processing, route optimization systems, and the like.

1.4Global Systems for Mobile Communications
Cellular mobile telephone systems have been widely available
throughout the world. However, because cellular mobile telephone
systems are regulated at the national level, these systems are not
generally compatible with each other. To resolve this dilemma of
being able to communicate from almost anywhere, but only within
your own system, The European telecommunications operators (the
Conference of European Postal and Telecommunications
Administration, or CEPT) designed a new mobile telephone network.
This network has evolved into GSM, and CEPT has turned over
management of GSM to the European Technical Standards Institute
(ETSI). GSM is the predominant mobile communications system
throughout Europe and GSM is also widely available throughout the
world.
1.4.1GSM Cellular Phone System
The Global Standard for Mobile (GSM) protocol offers a variety of
data services that allow users to send and receiv e data at rates of up to
9600 bps. Data may be delivered over ISDN, Packet Switched or
Circuit Switched Data Networks (PSDN or CSDN) and via the Short
Message Service (SMS).
Overview
SMS is a store and forward service for the bi-directional exchange of
alphanumeric messages of up to 160 characters.
Architecture of the GSM network
An Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) or Asset Management System
based on GSM consists of several distinct components. The
Crosscheck GSM is the mobile unit that is installed in the vehicle and
contains the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM). The SIM card
contains a unique International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)
number. This enables the network to identify the user and therefore
allow the terminal to have access to specific, subscriber services.
The GSM “cloud” is made up of two sections:
CrossCheck GSM Operation Manual1-7
Overview
•
The Base Station Subsystem that controls the radio link with
the mobiles through local cells
•
The Network Subsystem that controls the switching of calls
between the network users, mobile to mobile, and between
mobile and fixed lines
The Network Subsystem stores all administrative information
including the current cell being used by the mobile unit which allows
call routing and the roaming ability of GSM. An important feature of
GSM is this ability to move across international and network borders,
a feature that is described as “roaming.” If arrangements have been
made with the service provider, the SIM card will be enabled for
roaming.
•
Mobile Station (MS)
•
CrossCheck GSM includes a radio transmitter, receiver
and voice encoder, decoder. The optional Voice Upgrade
Kit includes a handset.
•
Subscriber Identify Module (SIM)—an electronic card
containing a computer chip. The chip contains the
subscriber information and operating system parameters.
SIMs provide authentication, encryption, information
storage, and subscriber account protection services
(including Personal Identification Number or PIN, and Pin
Unblocking Key or PUK). GSM users can move the SIM
from one CrossCheck GSM to another.
•Other network components
•Voicemail System (VMS)— delivers messages and pages
to GSM users.
•Short Message Service Center (SMSC)—delivers text
messages (up to 160 characters) to GSM users.
•Executable Short Message Platform—delivers commands
to the SIM card via an over-the-air interface.
