Page 4: General Information About The Rv-M9
1.1. Congratulations! Congratulations on your purchase of a RV-M9 GPS tracking radio. Please take a few minutes to read this manual carefully. The information presented here will allow you to derive maximum performance from your radio modem. After reading it, keep the manual handy for quick reference, in case questions arise later on. -

OET-65C (01-01) when operated in accordance with the operation guidelines described in this manual. Proper operation of this radio device according to the instructions in this publication will result in user exposure substantially below the FCC recommended limits. Company Confidential Raveon Technologies Corp. -
Page 6: Overview
6-channel GPS receiver. It has ½ to 5 watts of RF power output, and operates as a GPS transponder for tracking, and a radio modem for sending and receiving data. As well as sending position and status, the RV-M9 also has a radio modem with integrated Ethernet 10/100 Base-T interface. -
Page 7: 10/100Base-T - Tcp/Ip Socket Connections
Any RV-M9 that is a TXRX may be either a PRIMARY or a SECONDARY. Primary transmitters use TDMA slot 1 to transmit their GPS location in, and Secondary transmitters use TDMA slot 2 to transmit their GPS locations in. The second parameter of the MODE command is either a P or S for Primary or Secondary. -

Command Mode, whereas session authenticated with DATA credentials shall operate in Data Mode. When a given RV-M9 telnet session is in Data Mode, it will not accept user-commands. It will output over-the-air data or GPS information whenever the unit receives it. Arbitrary data may also be scheduled for transmission over-the-air by simply entering it via a telnet session operating in this mode. - Page 9 Do not attempt to login to the System Recovery IP address unless you want to erase all settings within the unit. After the unit has been running more than 30 seconds, the System Recovery IP address is disabled. Company Confidential Raveon Technologies Corp.

Default is a capitol letter V. “0” for no prefix. Enable - Repeating. This simple command enables the repeater feature of the RV-M9 , and 0 off configures it for standard operation. The user may REPEAT alternately use the ATX and ATRX commands, but configure they are more complicated to use. - Page 19 Even if the unit is not moving, the GPS TXRATE 0 - 9999 periodically measures position and speed to determine if it has triggered a speed or position transmission.

“Dotted quad decimal” notation is also known as “dotted decimal” notation. Because changes to these settings may disable Ethernet access to the radio modem, requested changes to these settings must be confirmed by user action. Immediately following entry of each of these parameter change requests, the RV-M9 will respond with: Enter YES<CR>... -

3. Connect a telnet client to port 23 of the RV-M9. The default IP address is 192.168.26.4 and the default network mask is: 255.255.255.0. Enter the DATA role credentials (default login: data, password: data). -
Page 23: Programming Channels And Frequencies
6.1. Programming Channels and Frequencies The RV-M9 modem has memory for up to 6 channels. In most applications, only one channel is needed. A channel is a pair of frequencies, one for transmit and one for receive. They may be different or they may be the same. You may program any valid frequency into any channel number. -

It is up to the user to select and set this phrase. If the RV-M9 is not used in a system where security and privacy are a concern, then it is OK to leave the factory-set phrase. -
Page 26: Time Slots
1-9. Slot 0 is reserved. 7. Operation Once power is applied to the RV-M9, the internal GPS will begin to try to lock onto the GPS satellites. The PWR led on the front will begin to blink every two seconds. -
Page 27: Technical Information
For example, if the TXRATE is set to 120 (2 minutes), the RV-M9 will power the GPS off for most all of this time, only turning on the GPS long enough before it needs to transmit so that it can get a position fix. -
Page 28: Broadcast Transmissions
Destination Address of the transmission is logically “ANDed” with the Address Mask in the receiving modem. This is the Effective Destination Address. The receiving RV-M9 also ANDs its own Unit Address with its Address Mask. The result is the Effective Unit Address. -
Page 29: Tdma Overview
When a RV-M9 wants to report its position and status, it waits until its assigned time-slot, and then transmits its data. By default, TDMA time slot positions are assigned by unit-ID, so RV-M9 with ID 1 uses the first slot, and ID 2 uses the second slot, and so on. -
Page 30: Configuring Tdma Operation
All TDMA frames are synchronized automatically in all RV-M9 transponders to the top of the minute. Slot 0, frame 0 is at the top of each minute. 8.3. Configuring TDMA Operation Step 1. Determine your over-the-air baud rate. See section 11.3 for information on baud-rate selection. -

2. Key the transmitter into a 50 ohm load using the ATTD 3 command. The unit will now transmit, and send a digital 0 continuously. This should be +2.0kHz in frequency for narrow-band radios (12.5kHz spaced channels) and +4.0kHz for wide-band (25kHz channels). Company Confidential Raveon Technologies Corp. -
Page 33: Tx Modulation Balance
The frequency response of the demodulated FM signal must be greater than 10Hz to 5kHz without any de-emphasis. 2. Transmit random data with the RV-M9, using the ATDT 1 command. This command will cause the RV-M9 to automatically key up, and send random data for one minute. -
