  • Page 2: Introduction

    Logically, the APOLLO appears to a user or a server application as a single endpoint device. It can be queried, updated and configured either through a serial connection, an over the air CDMA IP connection, or through SMS messaging. The APOLLO series present themselves over these connections as an enhanced cellular modem with attached functional elements.

  • Page 5: Hardware Requirements

    Power Cable connector type 8 pin Power Consumption < 5Watts The Apollo series provides support for specialized hardware features through extended AT commands. The features supported include the following: The major functionality of the GPS module is to compute the correlation results between the...
  • Page 6 GPIO Two GPIO pins, GP1 and GP2, are presented to the external environment on the main connector. They are general purpose, bidirectional lines capable of providing system interrupts to generate a report or drive logic levels to external devices. These lines are 2.8V logic level and are 15V tolerant.
  • Page 7 Timers Timers resident on the CDMA baseband chip generate periodic interrupts for power down wakeup, watchdog support, report generation and other timer related functions. Report timers are supported by related AT command and cause generation of periodic reports.

    The Apollo series support OTA field upgrades of the Apollo series resident application. An over the air TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) connection is made over a UDP/IP connection. A replacement file is then transferred from a server to the Apollo series and that file replaces the previous application image.
  • Page 12: At Command

    When in a power down mode, the following resources will cause interrupts that will wake the Apollo series and cause them to attempt complete the function associated with the interrupt. Simultaneous interrupts will cause sequential completion of each associated function. These interrupts include: ...
