Part Number: 07100020 version 00B PRODUCT OVERVIEW The Redhawk II Modem is built around the Eagle II™ Data Terminal, a compact, wireless modem that utilizes the international standard Global System for Mobile communications (GSM). The data terminal enables low-cost, application-specific, two-way communication and control.
Part # 2210-1500 General Description The Redhawk II contains the Eagle II radio data module and a Carrier Board assembly in a aluminum housing. The Eagle II radio module provides the GSM over the air radio link and modem command functions. More detailed information on the Eagle II can be found in the Eagle II Technical Manual (part # 07100017).
The IMEI allows defective or stolen equipment to be barred from using the GSM network. International Mobile Equipment The IMEI number is unique to each Redhawk II modem. It reveals the manufacturer, the country of Identity (IMEI) production, and the type approval facility. When the Redhawk II modem is powered on and tries to register with the GSM network, the network provider checks the IMEI.
It comes standard with a female SMA-type connector. DC Power (PWR) The Redhawk II modem requires an input voltage of 5.0 VDC to 28.0 VDC. The input source voltage ripple should be less than 20% of the average supply voltage peak-to-peak under normal operating conditions.
The SIM, an integral part of any GSM terminal device, is programmed with subscriber information. The SIM is not provided with the Redhawk II unit and must be provided by the GSM service subscriber. Care must be taken to protect the SIM.
Redhawk II Programming Manual For greater flexibility that enhances the usability of the Redhawk II Modems, Xircom has provided an AT Commands - Programmers Manual. Part #07100014-00A. This manual goes into greater detail, in an easy to read format, on the enhanced programming capabilities specific to the Redhawk II system.
Listed below are the essential characteristics and assumptions regarding the form of SMS supported by the Redhawk II family of modems. Support of both mobile originated and mobile terminated SMS.
USSD may be more appropriate for potential applications where a real-time response is required, such as point of sales. The Redhawk II modem supports all forms of USSD, both mobile and network initiated. Please note that (USSD is a GSM supplementary service requiring subscription.)
GPRS promises to make new applications even more practical and affordable. Future releases of the Redhawk II modem will support GPRS mode. Currently, the Redhawk II modem is hardware-ready for GPRS, if the optional memory upgrade is installed.
Mobile-terminated (MT). allows receiving a service request (such as, receiving a phone call or an SMS) It is imperative for the Redhawk II modem that the SIM be configured for the optional services that are required for the application. GSM Services Supported by the Redhawk II Modem...
If possible, the modem and its associated antenna should be deployed inside an environmentally controlled protected structure (such as an office building). NOTE: (Xircom, Inc. offers diagnostic tools to aid installers with the selection of a optimal antenna location. Contact the Xircom Sales and Customer Support office at 1.888.684.5355 or 1.719.884.2444 for additional information.
INSTALLATION & INITIALIZATION Guidelines for Limiting RF Exposure The Redhawk II products are GSM radio transceivers, which operate under the authority of 47 CFR Part 24, Subpart E of the FCC Rules and Regulations. When installed and operated in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual, these devices comply with current FCC regulations regarding human exposure to radio frequency - electromagnetic fields.
Remove the modem from the shipping box and verify contents with the shipping list. 2. Mount Modem The Redhawk II contains the Eagle II radio modem interfaced with a carrier board, both contained within a protective housing. The applications that the modem is best suited for, would be those within an enclosed structure, office building or other facility, where the unit is protected against climatic changes.
4. Install SIM card. Note: The SIM card is supplied by the service provider, and is not supplied by Xircom. The Redhawk II unit will not operate without a properly coded SIM card installed. Disconnect all power to the unit before installing the SIM card.
Initial Response to the AT Command After power is applied to the Redhawk II, the modem performs a power-up self-test. The self-test completes within one (1) second. When queried with the AT command, the Redhawk II modem responds with one of the following result codes: OK signifies that the Redhawk II modem is ready, that it correctly interprets the AT command, and that it can execute the command.
Modem > App OK Command valid: modem is ready The Redhawk II modem must be in Command mode when any command is entered (with the exception of the online escape sequence +++). Commands entered when the modem is in Online mode are treated as data, and are transmitted as such to the receiving modem.
+CPIN: SIM PUK terminal is waiting PUK If the response is +CPIN:Ready, then skip the remainder of this paragraph and proceed to step 11. If the response is +CPIN:SIM PIN then call Xircom Customer Support. 11. Data Call Setup (modem origination) The following example provides the AT command and response for setting the Redhawk II modem for 9600 baud, non-transparent mode.
For more information about the commands and response codes, see the Redhawk II Programmer's Manual. The following command checks to determine if the Redhawk II modem has successfully registered with the GSM network. App > Modem AT+CREG? Get the registration status Modem >...
SMS Message Verification Modem Sent SMS (Text) To be able to send SMS text messages, the Redhawk II modem must be initialized with the proper SMS mode. The following examples provide the AT commands and responses for initializing the SMS mode.
App > Modem AT+CSAS Save SMS settings Modem > App OK Successful transmission After the Redhawk II modem has been initialized, the following commands and sample responses provide the telephone number and the message to be transmitted. App > Modem AT+CMGS="12017572673"...
Part Number: 07100020 version 00B Modem RECEIVE SMS (Text) The following example provides the AT command for requesting that the Redhawk II modem list received SMS messages. This string requests that the modem send (over the RS232 interface) all of the messages that have been received.
Table 9: Size and Weight Operating Power The Redhawk II modem requires an input voltage of 5.0 VDC to 28.0 VDC. The input source voltage ripple should be less than 20% of the average supply voltage peak-to-peak under normal operating conditions.
104 dB (minimum). Care and Maintenance The Xircom Redhawk II modem should be used in a protected indoor environment. The internal components of the modem must remain dry and free of moisture. Avoid installations in extremely cold or hot locations, and avoid extreme temperature changes during use.
The return address will be given at this time. Upon receipt of the module, it will be thoroughly tested in a Xircom test lab. If the problem is found, a replacement module will be shipped back to the customer.
