6 Configuration commands - for Falcom STEPP

STEPPCONFIG VERSION 1.8.14
0 Overview of Document
Falcom STEPP is a Plug & Play GSM/GPS device, which contains a software
application that can be configured. The concept of the device is based on a
simple implementation for a wide range of applications with low costs and high
flexibility. In particular it offers a speedy development of systems solutions
within the fields of:
- Fleet management with GPS-location
- Vehicle security
At the core of the above-mentioned system solutions is a classical set-up with
client-server architecture. In this scenario, Falcom STEPP represents the socalled
mobile client (see image 1).
The integration of Falcom STEPP requires a clear definition:
- The characteristics of the integrated software solution of Falcom
STEPP as a client of the user solution, and the possibilities for
configuration.
- The instruction command for communicating with the client as the
main part of the server application
- The hardware interfaces and the respective, necessary installation
guidelines. This part ensures the physical integration of the device
to the target surroundings.
This document seeks to describe the Falcom STEPP firmware and its
possibilities for configuration, including the description of the configuration
tools (STEPPconfig).
Furthermore, in this document you will find a detailed description of the
instruction command, providing a foundation for the set-up of own server
applications for communicating with the mobile client (Falcom STEPP).
The hardware interfaces and the respective installation guidelines are described
in a separate document (“stepp_x.xx_hw.pdf”), which can be downloaded from
Falcom’s Homepage (www.falcom.de).
This software description reflects Falcom STEPP’s firmware version 1.0. By
using a Falcom SWING it was developed as a communication device (GSM
Modem). However, it can be used with other software compatible GSM
modems such as Falcom A2D-1 and Falcom TANGO.
In chapter 1 “STEPP STARTERKIT” you’ll find a description of the
supplied hardware – components which will support you during the evaluation
and configuration of Falcom STEPP.
The STARTERKIT contains all hardware and software components required
for an initial start-up and configuration of Falcom STEPP.
All the essential steps for the start-up of Falcom STEPP with the help of the
STARTERKIT are described in detail.
