ASCOS BLUE NSTALLATION To configure the come2ascos once please follow the steps mentioned below in the short overview. Each single step will be explained in detail later on. Change the PIN of your SIM card to 2204. Open the front of the enclosure carefully.
Please clarify the details with your provider. We suggest negotiating a volume or flat tariff with your provider. come2ascos requires 2204 as SIM card PIN. Please verify the PIN before inserting the SIM card into the modem as otherwise you would have to unlock the SIM with the PUK after three failed attempts before you can use the SIM card again.
GSM respectively GPRS connection settings will be saved persistently on the SIM card as well as all parameters of the reference service. Once configured the come2ascos doesn’t need to be reconfigured unless the SIM card is used ulterior or you wish to change some settings.
Personal Computer by the configuration cable. Then proceed with the following steps: Switch on the power supply. The come2ascos device will register at the GSM net and indicate this state by a quickly flashing yellow LED. Please wait until the flashing fades to a slower frequency after about 30 seconds.

„Set static mount point“ allows to set the mount point manually. „Disable source table download“ disables the source table download. The come2ascos will not select a suitable mount point automatically, but go directly to the manually specified one. „Require GGA message“ activates control by GGA messages from your GNSS receiver.

Compared to GPRS connections two NTRIP specific settings are not needed here. Only the settings for GGA control and test mode are needed here. To transmit the configuration to the come2ascos device push the button “Configure Device”. The writing process needs several seconds while the come2ascos device should not be disconnected from power supply.
BLUE REATE CONFIGURATION STRING MANUALLY First a configuration string has to be created before the come2ascos device can be configured by SMS or via terminal program. A configuration string is composed by different single parameters which will be described in the following together with their range of values.

VRS concept and therefore requires receiving GGA messages in certain time intervals. At the same time the come2ascos is controlled by GGA messages: If no GGA is received for 90 seconds the unit logs off until it receives a GGA message again.
ONFIGURATION BY To perform a configuration by SMS, simply send the created configuration string to the telephone number of the SIM card inserted in the come2ascos device. The come2ascos device is supposed to be in pause mode. An example for a configuration string CONFIG,NTRIP,9K6,web.vodafone.de,,,62.180.42.56:2101,user:geheim,...
LUETOOTH CONNECTION The come2ascos blue will be delivered to you by ALLSAT in its standard configuration unless you haven’t desired a special configuration. The Bluetooth device is configured as a slave (passive communication partner). The interface configuration is shown in figure 6. The device is visible and receives calls.

A slow flashing yellow light indicates that the modem has registered at GSM net. After another few seconds of internal initialisation the come2ascos device is ready. In this state you can set the device into pause mode or start the process of connecting by sending a GGA message. ONNECTING AND UTHENTICATION After receiving a GGA message the come2ascos device starts connecting to the reference service.
