3 Software Overview
3.1 General Description
BlueTree’s wireless modems, BlueTree BT-4000, BT-5000, BT-5000v2 and BT-6000 series, add a new level of capability to our existing modems’ product line. These products introduce a new powerful 32 bit intelligent platform featuring a built-in IP communication stack for autonomous IP connectivity. This eliminates the need for an external host. The 32 bit processing platform takes the applications potential to new heights whether for fixed or mobile applications. To leverage this flexibility, a user needs to configure the modem. While we continue to offer the standard AT command interface that allows access to the full capability of our modems, the BlueVue Device Manager software application provides the method of choice for easy installation, activation and configuration of these modems.
4 Using BlueVue Device Manager
Device Manager is designed to display and modify a modem’s configuration, as well as show its status information. All modem data is accessible via Device Manager’s Work Area (See Figure 4 Device Manager Main Window). The status of all operations is displayed in the status bar, so that Device Manager is always relaying back to the user its current state.
4.1 Startup
Device Manager can be launched by either:
selecting the Start menu BlueTree > Device Manager entry, or,
double clicking on the Desktop shortcut BlueVue DM with the BlueTree icon , or,

6.1 Definitions
1xRTT: Single carrier (1x) Radio Transmission Technology, a 3G wireless technology based on the CDMA platform. 1xRTT has the capability of providing speeds of up to 144 Kbps. 1xRTT is also referred to as CDMA2000
3G: An ITU specification for the third generation (analog cellular was the first generation, digital
PCS the second) of mobile communications technology. 3G promises increased bandwidth, up to 384 Kbps when a device is stationary or moving at pedestrian speed, 128 Kbps in a car, and 2
Mbps in fixed applications. 3G will work over wireless air interface s such as GSM, TDMA, and CDMA. Both EDGE and 1xEVDO have been developed specifically to meet the bandwidth needs of 3G.
AAA: Dynamic IP addressing from a AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) server allows support for fixed and or per session addressing for mobile nodes without the task of
maintaining addressing at the mobile node or home agent. The AAA server can return either a specific address, a local pool name, or a DHCP server address.
Base Station: A fixed station used for communicating with mobile stations (phones/modems).
Most frequently, a cabinet or small building containing electronic equipment, and the associated antennas. Antennas may be mounted on a dedicated structure, or on an existing structure, such as a water tower or building.
Bit: The smallest unit of information on a machine. A single bit can hold only one of two values: 0 or 1. More meaningful information is obtained by combining consecutive bits into larger units. For example, a byte is composed of 8 consecutive bits.
Byte: A byte is equal to 8 bits.
CDMA: Code-Division Multiple Access, a digital cellular technology that uses spread-spectrum techniques. Unlike competing systems, such as GSM, that use TDMA, CDMA does not assign a specific

80
frequency to each user. Instead, every channel uses the full available spectrum. Individual conversations are encoded with a pseudo-random digital sequence. CHAP: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol, a type of authentication in which the authentication agent (typically a network server) sends the client program a random value that is used only once and an ID value. Both the sender and peer share a predefined secret. The peer concatenates the random value (or nonce), the ID and the secret and calculates a one-way hash using MD5. The hash value is sent to the authenticator, which in turn builds that same string on its side, calculates the MD5 sum itself and compares the result with the value received from the peer. If the values match, the peer is authenticated.
By transmitting only the hash, the secret can't be reverse-engineered. The ID value is increased with each CHAP dialogue to protect against replay attacks.
Discontinuous Transmission: method of momentarily powering-down, or muting, a mobile or portable wireless device when there is no voice input to the set. This optimizes the overall efficiency of a wireless voice communications system. DNS: Short for Domain Name System (or Service or Server), an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4. Ec/Io: Pilot Strength, a ratio of received pilot energy, Ec, to the total received, Io (or the total spectral density). ESN: Electronic Serial Number, a unique identification number that every cellular device has and is assigned by the specific manufacturer. When a cellular call is placed on a cellular device, the ESN is transmitted to a base station, and the number is used to authenticate the validity of the phone in respect to the cellular service the phone is attempting to use. The ESN is embedded within the signal and transmitted each time a cellular call is placed. Ethernet: A Local Area Network (LAN) architecture that uses a bus or star topology. EvDO: Evolution Data Optimized, is a wireless radio broadband data protocol optimized for data transfer, currently being adopted by many CDMA mobile phone providers. It is standardized by 3GPP2, as part of the cdma2000 standard.
dBm: Decibel referenced to one milliWatt. Therefore, zero dBm equals one milliWatt.
GPRS: General Packet Radio Service, a standard for wireless communications which runs at speeds up to 115 kilobits per second (kbps), compared with current GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) systems' 9.6 kilobits. GPRS, which supports a wide range of bandwidths, is an efficient use of limited

81
bandwidth and is particularly suited for sending and receiving small bursts of data, such as e-mail and Web browsing, as well as large volumes of data. GPS: Global Positioning System, a worldwide satellite navigational system formed by satellites orbiting the earth and their corresponding receivers on the earth. The satellites orbit the earth at approximately 12,000 miles above the surface and make two complete orbits every 24 hours. The GPS satellites continuously transmit digital radio signals that contain data on the satellites location and the exact time to the earth-bound receivers. The satellites are equipped with atomic clocks that are precise to within a billionth of a second. Based on this information the receivers know how long it takes for the signal to reach the receiver on earth. As each signal travels at the speed of light, the longer it takes the receiver to get the signal, the farther away the satellite is. By knowing how far away a satellite is, the receiver knows that it is located somewhere on the surface of an imaginary sphere centered at the satellite. By using three satellites, GPS can calculate the longitude and latitude of the receiver based on where the three spheres intersect. By using four satellites, GPS can also determine altitude. GSM: Global System for Mobile Communications, one of the leading digital cellular systems. GSM uses narrowband TDMA, which allows eight simultaneous calls on the same radio frequency. HA: Home Agent IP address of the router or server on the home network of a mobile node used as a reference for the visiting mobile node.
IMEI: International Mobile Equipment Identity is a unique 15-digit code used to identify an
individual GSM mobile station to a GSM network. The IMEI is stored in the Equipment Identity Register (EIR). The format of an IMEI is AABBBB-CC-DDDDDD-E (See Appendix B).
ITU: International Telecommunication Union, an intergovernmental organization through which public and private organizations develop telecommunications. It is responsible for adopting international treaties, regulations and standards governing telecommunications.
LAN: Local Area Network, a computer network that spans a relatively small area. However, one
LAN can be connected to other LANs over any distance via telephone lines and radio waves. A system of LANs connected in this way is called a wide-area network (WAN).
Latitude: The location north or south in reference to the equator, which is designated at zero (0) degrees. Parallel lines that circle the globe both north and south of the equator. The poles are at 90° North and South latitude. Longitude: The location east or west in reference to the Prime Meridian, which is designated as zero (0) degrees longitude. The distance between lines of longitude are greater at the equator and smaller at the higher latitudes, intersecting at the earth's North and South Poles. MAC: Media Access Control address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network. In IEEE 802 networks, the Data Link Control (DLC) layer of the OSI Reference Model is divided into two sub-layers: the Logical Link Control (LLC) layer and the Media Access Control (MAC) layer. The
IndustrialPro™ and MobilityPro™ Gateway Wireless Modems BlueVue Device Manager User's Manual

82
MAC layer interfaces directly with the network medium. Consequently, each different type of network medium requires a different MAC layer.
On networks that do not conform to the IEEE 802 standards but do conform to the OSI Reference Model, the node address is called the Data Link Control (DLC) address.
NAI: NAI (Network Access Identifier) is a character string in the format of an e -mail address as either user or user@realm but it need not be a valid e-mail address or a fully qualified domain name.
NMEA: National Maritime Electronic Association. The NMEA 0183 standard for interfacing marine electronic devices is a voluntary industry standard, first released in March of 1983. The
NMEA 0183 standard defines electrical signal requirements, data transmission protocol, timing and specific sentence formats for a 4800 baud serial data bus.
PAP: Password Authentication Protocol , the most basic form of authentication, in which a
user's name and password are transmitted over a network and compared to a table of name -password pairs. Typically, the passwords stored in the table are encrypted. The Basic Authentication feature built into the HTTP protocol uses PAP. The main weakness of PAP is that
both the username and password are transmitted "in the clear" -- that is, in an unencrypted form.
PseudoNoise: Any of a group of binary sequences that exhibit random noise-like properties. PN sequences are distinguishable from truly random sequences in that they inherently or deliberately exhibit periodicity (i.e. they repeat). An integral part of all spread spectrum systems, PN sequences are usually generated using a liner feedback shift register. PPP: Point-to-Point Protocol, a protocol for connection to the Internet via a dial-up connection. PPP is more stable than the older SLIP protocol and provides error checking features. Working in the data link layer of the OSI model, PPP sends the computer's TCP/IP packets to a server that puts them onto the Internet. RJ-45: An eight-wire connector used commonly to connect computers onto a local-area network (LAN), especially Ethernets. RJ-45 connectors look similar to the ubiquitous RJ-11 connectors used for connecting telephone equipment, but they are somewhat wider. SLIP: Serial Line Internet Protocol, a protocol for connection to the Internet via a dial-up connection. It was designed for simple communication over serial lines. SLIP can be used on RS-232 serial ports and supports asynchronous links. Slip requires static IP address assignment.

SPI: The Security Parameter Index is a n integer that specifies the row in the security associations database (SADB) that a receiver should use to decrypt a received packet. Subnet Mask: A mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to. An IP address has two components, the network address and the host address. TAIP: Trimble ASCII Interface Protocol, a digital communication interface based on printable ASCII characters over a serial data link. Initially designed for vehicle tracking via GPS, but is commonly used for other applications. TAIP supports both scheduled and polled responses. TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet protocol, TCP is one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. Whereas the IP protocol deals only with packets, TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and also guarantees that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent. TDMA: Time Division Multiple Access, a technology for delivering digital wireless service using time-division multiplexing (TDM). TDMA works by dividing a radio frequency into time slots and then allocating slots to multiple calls. In this way, a single frequency can support multiple, simultaneous data channels. TDMA is used by the GSM digital cellular system. UDP: User Datagram Protocol , a connectionless protocol that, like TCP, runs on top of IP networks. Unlike TCP/IP, UDP/IP provides very few error recovery services, offering instead a direct way to send and receive packets over an IP network. It's used primarily for broadcasting messages over a network. As opposed to TCP, UDP does not guarantees delivery of data and nor does it guarantee that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent.
WAN: Wide Area Network, A computer network that spans a relatively large geographical area. Typically, a WAN consists of two or more local-area networks (LANs).
