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.
The Unlock Code
SBD commands without an unlock code will be ignored by devices that require it. The unlock code
is generated by the device itself and can be retrieved from XeosOnline, or the unit can be queried
for its unlock code by sending $unlock to the device as a command. The device will respond by
sharing the 5-digit code with its provisioned destinations.
Navigate to your unit and click on the Message Log Tab. The unlock code can be seen in the most
recent outgoing messages.
