Communicating with the Rover
There are 3 ways to communicate with the Rover:
1. Over-the-air with E-mail SBD messages
2. Over-the-air with XeosOnline
3. Locally with Bluetooth
Sending Commands via Email
To receive commands from the Iridium network, the device in use must have a clear view of the
sky. If the device is unable to communicate with the Iridium network, commands will remain
queued for five days.
Command Format
Creating the File
To create an SBD command, open a new file in a text editor (ex. Notepad) and save it using the
.sbd extension. Make sure the Save as type option is set to All Files to achieve this.
Command Structure
Commands must be structured in the following way:
1. Each command MUST have a dollar sign ($) before each command.
2. The unit's unlock code in the following format: $unlock XXXXX where XXXXX is the
unit's five digit unlock code.
3. A list of commands, one command per line.
