Preliminary Setup

Setting up your Iridium Account

XMR makes use of the Iridium satellite system's Short Burst Data (SBD) service for the 9603
transceiver. This service is a global, two-way, real-time, email-based data delivery service that
has a maximum outbound (from XMR) message size of 340 bytes and a maximum inbound (to
XMR) message size of 270 bytes.
XMR end users must set up an approved data delivery account with their preferred service
provider. Xeos is an Iridium VAR and can provide Iridium service if you wish.
Setting up service requires the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number. Each
9603 has a unique IMEI number that must be registered with a preferred service provider. Xeos
will make these numbers available when the product is delivered.
Each IMEI number is capable of being associated with up to five (5) unique destinations (emails,
IP addresses, other Iridium IMEIs) which may vary between service providers. When registering
the IMEI, please provide the service provider with the temporary Xeos testing account email
address. You may contact Xeos for this email. Setting up this email address allows for better
technical support during the initial learning period for the product.

Understanding Position Information

There are two types of position information which will be sent via the Iridium Gateway.

Iridium Doppler position

The Iridium Gateway calculates the Iridium transceivers' position on earth when it receives a
transmission, using Doppler technology. As a result, it is often very inaccurate. This location is
only visible to users getting emails directly from the device, as opposed to emails forwarded by
XeosOnline. An example of a "raw" Iridium message via email is below and will always have the
IMEI of the device in the subject line, regardless of its name on XeosOnline.
