SmartOne Basics Overview The Globalstar SmartOne series of products are designed to track the positions of trailers, cargo containers, heavy construction equipment, generators, boats/barges and any other mobile assets. NOTE: Throughout the rest of this manual, the term SmartOne will refer to the SmartOne Solar product unless explicitly referred to otherwise. that The SmartOne processes GPS satellite signals to obtain its position in terms of longitude & latitude and transmits this information over Globalstars Satellite Network. In addition to position information, the SmartOne transmits other message types input alarm status and diagnostic information. The SmartOne is configured using a computer & configuration cable or over Bluetooth interface. The configuration parameters allow to communicate messages at certain times and/or under certain conditions. include battery status, the SmartOne unit The SmartOne has two dry contact inputs, to manage run time of engines and/or other alarm inputs, and one serial port for passive and smart sensors. The SmartOne incorporates a built-in solar panel that charges the internal batteries to provide 8+ years of maintenance-free operation. Modes of Operation The SmartOne can be configured to operate in three different Modes:
Standard Messaging Mode Reduced Messaging Mode Theft Alert Mode. Standard Messaging In Standard Messaging Mode, the SmartOne reports its position at regular time intervals that are programmed during the configuration process. Standard Messaging Mode can also be configured to utilize the SmartOnes internal motion/vibration sensor. If enabled, the SmartOne will transmit its position at independently configured regular time intervals when the device is In Motion. Location messages can be programmed to be constant (Message Interval) or the device may be configured to use up to 12 different delays in sequence (Message-Time(s) of Day). Message Interval can be programmed in one minute intervals from 35 minutes up to 45 days. Example of Message Interval: The SmartOne is configured to report once every 24 hours when not In Motion and every two hours when In Motion. If the SmartOne went into motion at any time of day the Message Interval while In Motion would be every two hours beginning when the SmartOne started moving. Example of Message-Time(s) of Day: The SmartOne is configured with a message time of day of 9:00 AM, a second message time of day of 12:00 noon, a third message time of day of 8:00 PM and once per hour when In Motion. The SmartOne would transmit three messages a day at the same configured times every day. If the SmartOne went In Motion it would transmit its location message every hour. Usage Example: A Company is required to report the GPS locations of their hazardous chemical containers twice a day. Based on this requirement, the Company has two options: set a message SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 1 9100-0425-01 interval of every 12 hours, the 12 hour internal begins when the device is powered up or when the configure message times of day are 12:00 noon and 12:00 midnight. Reduced Messaging Reduced Messaging Mode reduces the cost associated with transmitting messages over Globalstars satellite network by sending messages at a minimal message interval when the asset is in a defined area and transmits at a higher message interval when the asset is changing locations. These message intervals are set as part of the configuration process based on the concept that repeated reporting information of the same location, when an asset has not moved from its defined area, is redundant and doesnt provide addition usable information about its current location. By comparing current and prior position information, the SmartOne determines if its location is changing. The definable area in which the device should remain in Reduced Messaging Mode is called the Change of Location Area and it is a square. When the SmartOne goes outside of the square, its location is considered to be changing or relocating. Usage Example: A fleet operator owns 1,000 trailers. When the trailer(s) are sitting at a depot they want a location message once a day. They also want a message notification within one hour when a trailer has left a depot. Lastly, they want a location message every three hours when a trailer is moving between depots. Based on this requirement, the fleet operator will need to set the Change of Location Area (size of the depots where the trailers will visit), the message interval while the trailers are inside the Change of Location Area (one per day), the interval at which the SmartOne will check its location while in a State of Vibration and inside the Change of Location Area(one per hour), set the number of messages when the trailer leaves the Change of Location Area (one Change of Location Area Alert Message) and the message interval while the trailers are in transit between depots (every three hours). Theft Recovery When the SmartOne is configured to operate in the Theft Recovery Mode, it differentiates between authorized and unauthorized movement of an asset. While the power to the SmartOne is turned off, all movement of the asset is considered authorized. When power is turned on, the SmartOne obtains a position from GPS satellites. The position is used to set the center of the defined Change of Location Area in Theft Alert Mode. While in the Change of Location Area, the SmartOne obtains position fixes at an interval set during configuration. If the SmartOne remains within the Change of Location Area, all movement is considered to be authorized. Once the SmartOnes position is outside of the Change of Location Area, it alerts the SmartOne to an unauthorized movement and immediately sends a location message (Change of Location Alert Message). The SmartOne continues to send location messages at a message interval set during the configuration process until the power is turned off or the battery is dead. Usage Example: A construction company is working on a job site for one year and wants to ensure that their generators and other heavy equipment on site arent stolen. The company wants to check the location of their equipment 12 times a day, every 2 hours, to confirm the asset hasnt been stolen, but only wants a transmitted location message once per day. Based on this requirement, the construction company will need to set the Change of Location Area (size of the job site), the message interval while inside the Change of Location Area (one per day), the interval at which the SmartOne will check its location while in a State of Vibration and within the Change of Location Area (every two hours) and the message interval if the asset is outside the Change of Location Area (stolen). SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 2 9100-0425-01 Inputs The SmartOne has a 20-pin connector that provides ground, two dry contact inputs and serial communication lines. SmartOne with connector cover off showing 20-pin connector The SmartOne allows sending Input Status Changed Messages for both Input 1 and Input 2. The Inputs must be asserted for at least five seconds in order to be acknowledged. Usage Example: A construction company needs to document, per their contract, when they begin their work day and when they end their work day. Based on this requirement, the SmartOne would be connected to the ignition switch and configured to send a transmission with location when the input changes state. The SmartOne also allows the user to define the Message Interval while the Inputs are in an Undesired State, either Opened or Closed. Usage Example: A company has remote containers at job sites and would like to know if a door is ajar. If a door is left ajar the company would like a notification every two hours. Based on this requirement, the SmartOne would be connected to an open door sensor with the Undesired Input State Message enabled and set as Opened with a Message Interval of two hours. Note: The SmartOne uses a five minute "hysteresis" window to prevent sending false alarms. This means that only one status change message can be sent during any five minute time window. Any subsequent status changes will be detected but not reported. Multiple status changes during any five minute window will result in the transmission of incorrect trigger bits. The SmartOne has the ability to send an Accumulate/Count Message at a regular configurable interval and/or based on configurable multiples of accumulated hours and/or number of counted events or hours of vibration. Usage Example 1: A construction company needs weekly engine run times for their heavy equipment to manage their maintenance scheduling. Based on this requirement, the company would schedule a weekly Accumulate/Count Message. Usage Example 2: A construction company wants to insure that no equipment is ever operated beyond 400 hours without maintenance. Based on this requirement, the company would schedule an Accumulate/Count Message for every 400 hours of use. The SmartOne has the ability to send both the Status Change and Undesired State messages based on vibration. Serial Commands The SmartOne uses the I/O port for unit configuration as well as interface to remote passive and smart sensors. Two commands are provided in the unit interface to support smart sensors. External sensors or instruments, that can format and communicate with the SmartOne, can send user data through the SmartOne by using these two commands. The SmartOne connects to smart sensors via the SmartOne Serial Cable. The SmartOne Serial Cable is sold as an accessory. SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 3 9100-0425-01 Bluetooth Interface The SmartOne uses its built-in Bluetooth interface to advertise itself and for programming configuration settings. SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 4 9100-0425-01 Satellite Communications The SmartOne communicates with both the GPS satellite network and the Globalstar Satellite Network. All GPS locations are pulled from the GPS network and all transmissions are sent via the Globalstar Satellite Network. The SmartOne has the unique ability to check its GPS coordinates at a programmable rate while it is inside of the Change of Location Area without actually sending a message over the Globalstar Satellite Network. For a Location Message, the SmartOne will wake up at a scheduled interval or time of day and begin to acquire a GPS fix. Once it receives its GPS fix, the SmartOne will transmit its location to the Globalstar Satellite Network. SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 5 9100-0425-01 Globalstar Satellite Network The network consists of 32 Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites that are constantly orbiting the earth and complete their orbits in less than two hours. Because of this, the SmartOne will be in contact with at least one of the satellites during each scheduled transmission. In LEO communication networks, the satellites are constantly changing their positions in the sky relative to the transmitter on earth. This minimized the shading effects seen in geostationary satellite systems where the mobile device must be pointed the sky. Geostationary satellites also orbit at a much higher altitude and move along the equator. toward a specific direction in Messages are transmitted from the SmartOne via the Globalstar Satellite Network using an uplink-only connection (one-way data transmission) and received by a Globalstar Ground Station. The messages are then sent via an HTTP or FTP server to the internet and received by the VAR or end customers back office application and converted into actionable data. The SmartOne will send each message three times to insure that the message has been received by the Globalstar Satellite Constellation. Once Globalstar receives the message, any remaining duplicate messages are ignored and discarded (VAR or end user account is only charged for one transmission). SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 6 9100-0425-01 2. Getting Started The SmartOne Device Batteries The SmartOne is powered by, and comes with, four installed Nickel Metal Hydride(NiMH) batteries. The battery compartment is not accessible for the user and, in fact, the batteries are not replaceable. Since the unit is designed for the solar panels to recharge the batteries, the user never needs to worry about replacing the batteries. The SmartOne will provide 8+ years of maintenance-free operation. Turning On and Off The SmartOne ships with a magnetic switch that will shut down the unit if installed. To turn the SmartOne unit on, remove the magnet and it will begin monitoring the asset. NOTE: If the asset is going to be stored indoors for extended periods of time, the SmartOne should be shut down by installing the magnet to avoid draining the batteries. Commisioning Before installing the SmartOne unit, record the serial number and identify the asset to which it will be mounted. Since the serial number is etched on the mounting surface of the SmartOne unit, it is not visible after installation. Installation The SmartOne unit must be mounted on the asset with a clear view of the sun and sky. The device requires a flat surface area of 17.78 cm x 8.26 cm (7 x 3.25). The ideal configuration is facing up on a flat horizontal surface. The SmartOne unit can also be mounted on a flat vertical surface but this may reduce the communication reliability, decrease the maximum sustainable messaging rate, and may reduce the GPS location accuracy. SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 7 9100-0425-01 Mounting methods The SmartOne can be mounted using different methods depending on the mounting surface or user preference. Direct bolt or screw installation It is strongly recommended to bolt the SmartOne unit to the asset using the provided mounting holes. Four #6 machine screws (Pan head recommended) of the appropriate length are required. The unit can also be mounted using self-tapping screws adapted to the mounting substrate. NOTES:
- Do not use chamfered (flat head) screws as this may damage the housing.
- Do not over-tighten the mounting screws: DO NOT exceed 1.2 N.m (10 in.lb) torque
-
It is recommended to use 316 grade stainless steel fasteners for longevity. Adhesive pad installation If drilling holes into the asset is not practical, the SmartOne may be installed using the adhesive gasket. To ensure proper strength for mounting, the following recommendations must be followed; failure to follow proper procedure could lead to the SmartOne becoming detached from the asset in the field. The ambient temperature must be above 10 C and the asset must be protected from rain before and during installation. The mounting surface must be smooth and in good condition and be thoroughly cleaned using the following procedure: use water and soap first to remove any dirt and residues from the mounting surface and let dry. Wipe the mounting area and the bottom surface of the SmartOne with a solvent impregnated clean cloth (such as Isopropyl Alcohol) and let air dry. Peel one side of the adhesive gasket and install it to the bottom of the unit, ensuring the outer edges are aligned properly. Peel the other side of the adhesive gasket and place the SmartOne onto the asset. Apply at 80lb (350N) of force to the unit for a minimum of three seconds to achieve full bonding strength. SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 8 9100-0425-01 Optional Metal Bracket installation The optional metal mounting bracket is used to firmly secure the device to the asset. It has four screws that attach the SmartOne Solar device to the asset. This allows the SmartOne Solar to be mounted such that the antennas have direct view of the sky with mounting flexibility. The SmartOne Solar attaches to the metal mounting bracket using four Phillips-head screws. Programming Overview The SmartOne comes ready to use with a factory configuration loaded in the device. The factory configuration is: Standard Messaging without Motion and Interval Messaging of 12 hours. These configuration settings may be changed using the SmartOne Configuration Software, the USB Configuration Cable and a (Windows)PC or via its Bluetooth interface provided the correct Bluetooth dongle has been installed on the PC. Inputs The SmartOne has two inputs that can be accessed by using the SmartOne External Input Cable. The , SmartOne External Input Cable is sold as an accessory to the device. Installation of Configuration Software the Globalstar website at The SmartOne Configuration Software can be downloaded http://var.globalstar.com.

The USB Configuration Cable plugs into the SmartOne when the connector cover is removed. The SmartOne Configuration Software may be used without being connected to devices to prepare configurations, but must be connected the USB Configuration Cable to program it. Once the Program button has been depressed the USB Configuration Cable be disconnected, if already connected, from the device and/or the computer. to a device using should not BLUETOOTH INTERFACE INSTRUCTIONS SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 9 9100-0425-01 3. Messages The SmartOne produces on-air messages conforming to the Globalstar specified format. See Appendix G through J for detailed examples of various message decoding. The data being communicated to the end user is contained entirely in the 72 bit (9 byte) field. This section will describe the use of the 9 byte user information segment for communicating the range of information that the SmartOne is able to convey to the user. Note: User information is also referred to as the Message Payload. Global Message Type Bits 0 and 1 in the first byte of the user data defines the Global Message Type; there are four total global types. Types 0 and 3 are applicable to the function and features of the SmartOne, Type 1 and 2 are user defined message types. Type 0 - Standard Message: All of the various message types that contain Latitude and Longitude data that are transmitted by the SmartOne will be of this type. Type 1 - Truncated Message: This message type provides for up to 2 bytes plus 6 bits of user data to be appended to the status byte and GPS location information. Type 2 - Raw Message: This message type provides for up to 8 bytes plus 6 bits of user data. Type 3 - Non Standard Message: This is the message type that covers the category none of the above. The SmartOne will use this message type for messages that do not contain Latitude and Longitude data. Smart One message types which fall into this category include Accumulate/Count messages, Diagnostic messages, Contact Service Provider messages and Low Battery messages. Type 0 Message Class Message Format The table below displays the format of all standard messages. Specific variants of the message will be shown individually in the following subsections. Byte #

Value is 4 in the Undesired Input State message. Value is 5 in the Re-Centering message. Bits (2:0) RESERVED in SmartOne Bit (3) Value 1 = This message is being sent because Transmit on Change of Vibration State is selected and the vibration just changed state, or Undesired Vibration State is selected and the vibration is in the undesired state. Value 0 = This message is being transmitted for a reason other than the above reasons. Bit (4) Value 1 = Unit is in a state of vibration. Value 0 = Unit is not in a state of vibration. Bit (5) Value 1 = GPS data reported is from a 2D fix.
(Only 3 satellites were used in the fix.) Value 0 = GPS data reported is from a 3D fix. Bit (6) Value 1 = Device was In-Motion when the message was transmitted. Value 0 = Device was At-Rest when the message was transmitted. Bit (7) 1=Reduced confidence in GPS fix accuracy, 0=High confidence in GPS fix accuracy, This is the message that is transmitted on an interval. When this message is received, it indicates that the transmission is due to a scheduled interval at either the At Rest rate or In Motion rate. Whether the device is At Rest or In Motion can be determined by the Motion bit (Byte 8, bit 6).

The Standard Message Subtype field of this message, contained in byte 7; bits 4-7, has a value of 2. Input Status Changed Message This is the message that will be transmitted upon the change of state of the inputs if it is enabled and as selected by the user:
Input 1 open, Input 1 closed, or Input 1 both(open or closed) Input 2 open, Input 2 closed, or Input 2 both(open or closed) The Standard Message Subtype field of this message, contained in byte 7; bits 4-7, has a value of 3. The Input Status Value of byte 7; bits 0-3 in the message indicates which input changed state to trigger the message and also reports the states of both inputs. Undesired Input State Message This is the message that is transmitted when the user has selected an undesired input state to cause a different report rate. When this Mode is enabled, the user defined Undesired Input State report rate supersedes the At Rest and In Motion report rates when the Input(s) is (are) in an undesired state. The Standard Message Subtype field of this message, contained in byte 7; bits 4-7, has a value of 4. The Input Status portion of byte 7; bits 0-3 in the message indicate which Input(s) are in the undesired state and triggering the Undesired Input State report rate. Re-Center Message The Re-Center message is transmitted when Reduced Messaging Mode is selected and the SmartOne re-centers (automatically sets a new Change of Location Area). The Standard Message Subtype field of this message, contained in byte 7; bits 4-7, has a value of 5. Type 1 Message Class Truncated Message Type Single Packet This message type provides for up to 2 bytes plus 6 bits of user data to be appended to the status byte and GPS location information.

In the event that the user application requests a user data length exceeding 9 bytes, the SmartOne (running firmware version 2.1 or later) will automatically packetize the message, that is, transmit it as multiple 9 byte packets. The ground station appliqu will reverse the process, de-packetizing the message back into a single (long) message. From the user application point of view, this eliminates the 9 byte limitation allowing the user to compose longer messages transparently. They are presented to the user by the Globalstar back office as complete messages of a length longer than 9 bytes. The SmartOne supports user-defined messages (Class 1 and 2) of up to 54 bytes. This message type provides for up to 47 bytes plus 6 bits of user data to be appended to the status byte and GPS location information. The input and status bits data of the standard message are replaced with user data from the configuration port. NOTE: Total message length will be a minimum of 9 bytes in length, and a maximum of 54 bytes in length, and the length sent to the user will always be divisible by 9. SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 13 9100-0425-01 The Truncated message will follow the following on-air format:
Variable Bits Description Bit (1:0) = 1 = Truncated message type Bit (7:2) = submask data from Truncated user data Byte1 = Latitude MSByte Byte 2 = Latitude Byte 3 = Latitude LSByte Byte 4 = Longitude MSByte Byte 5 = Longitude Byte 6 = Longitude LSByte 360 degrees of longitude coded in signed binary with 3 bytes and 180 degrees of latitude coded in signed binary with 3 bytes Positive longitude corresponds to East longitudes Positive Latitude corresponds to North latitudes See Appendix G for an Lat/Long decoding example Byte 1 = User data byte 1 Byte 2 = User data byte 2 Byte 3 = User data byte 3 Byte 47 = User data byte 47 Status Byte 8 Latitude/Longitude 48 User Data Variable SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 14 9100-0425-01 Type 2 Message Class Raw Message Type Single Packet Version Message type 2 shall be a Raw Payload message. This message type provides for up to 8 bytes plus 6 bits of user data. This mode is provided to enable the user to directly send a single data burst through the network. The only bits not accessible to the user are the message type bits needed by the receiving data processor to delineate message type associated to the transmit ID. User data less than the full payload will be zero padded as necessary. The Raw Payload message Single Packet version will follow the following on-air format:
Variable Bits Description Status Byte 8 User Data Variable Bit (1:0) = 2 = Raw message type Bit (7:2) = submask data from Raw Payload user data Byte 1 = User data byte 1 Byte 2 = User data byte 2 Byte 3 = User data byte 3 Byte 4 = User data byte 4 Byte 5 = User data byte 5 Byte 6 = User data byte 6 Byte 7 = User data byte 7 Byte 8 = User data byte 8 SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 15 9100-0425-01 Raw Message Type Multiple Packet Version The Globalstar simplex messaging protocol provides for single and multiple packet messaging. In the event that the user application requests a user data length exceeding 9 bytes, the SmartOne will automatically packetize the message, that is, transmit it as multiple 9 byte packets. The ground station appliqu will reverse the process, de-packetizing the message back into a single (long) message. From the user application point of view, this eliminates the 9 byte limitation allowing the user to compose longer messages transparently. They are presented to the user by the Globalstar back office as complete messages of a length longer than 9 bytes. The SmartOne supports user-defined messages (Class 1 and 2) of up to 54 bytes. Message type 2 shall be a Raw Payload message. This message type provides for up to 53 bytes plus 6 bits of user data. This mode is provided to enable the user to directly send a single data burst through the network. The only bits not accessible to the user are the message type bits needed by the receiving data processor to delineate message type associated to the transmit ID. User data less than the full payload will be zero padded as necessary. Note: Total message length will be a minimum of 9 bytes in length, and a maximum of 54 bytes in length, and the length sent to the user will always be divisible by 9. The Raw Payload message Multiple Packet version will follow the following on-air format:
Variable Bits Description Status Byte 8 User Data Variable Bit (1:0) = 2 = Raw message type Bit (7:2) = submask data from Raw Payload user data Byte 1 = User data byte 1 Byte 2 = User data byte 2 Byte 3 = User data byte 3
.. . Byte 53 = User data byte 53 SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 16 9100-0425-01 Type 3 Message Class The SmartOne will use the Type 3 message class for the following message types:
Diagnostic Message Subtype 21. Replace Battery Message Subtype 22. Solar product does not require this message Contact Service Provider Message Subtype 23. Diagnostic Message The Diagnostic Message includes battery status, GPS average acquisition time, GPS fails and number of transmissions since the last Diagnostic Message. Appendix I has an example of a decoded Diagnostic Message. The format and fields of the SmartOne Diagnostic Message is shown in table 8 below. Byte #

Bit (7:2) = 21 for Diagnostic Message. Bit (7:2) = 22 for Replace Battery Message. Bit (7:2) = 23 Contact Service Provider Message.. Bits(3:0) = Number of Transmissions (1 to 15 Transmissions) Bit 4: 0 = Good battery. 1 = Replace Battery Bit 5: 0 = GPS system OK. 1 = Fault Bit 6: 0 = Transmitter OK. 1 = Fault. Bit 7: 0 = OK. 1 = Fault Minimum Interval between transmission attempts (5 second resolution) Default is 300 seconds Maximum Interval between transmission attempts. Default is 600 seconds Unsigned binary count in seconds for mean GPS search to acquire Unsigned binary count of failed GPS attempts since last Diagnostic Message
# of transmissions since last Diagnostic message Contact Service Provider Message The SmartOne will send a Contact Service Provider message when an internal fault is detected. The SmartOne will send one such message upon the detection of an internal fault. It will then attempt to SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 17 9100-0425-01 continue to operate normally. The SmartOne will not send another Contact Service Provider message unless the fault is determined to have cleared, and then determined to have come back again. Accumulate/Count Message The Accumulate/Count message is used to report the accumulation of time that an input is in a specified state as defined by the user, the accumulation of time that the device is in a State of Vibration, and/or the total transitions of the Inputs, as configured by the user. The message is transmitted either at a pre-set interval, at a point where any of the accumulation or count registers reach multiples as programmed by the user, just before rollover of any count/accumulate register, or all of the above. Appendix J has an example of a decoded Accumulate/Count message. Byte #
Variable Bits Description 0 0 Type Field Subtype 2 6 1, 2 Accumulated Input 1 16 3, 4 Accumulated Input 2 16 5, 6 Accumulated Vibration 16 7 8 Input 1 Count Input 2 Count 8 8 Messaging Priority Bit (1:0) = 3 Non Standard message type:
Bit (7:2) = 24 Accumulate/Count message.. Accumulated time that Input 1 has been in its undesired state with a resolution of 10 minutes. For example: 1 hour would be represented as a value of 6, 2 hours as a value of 12, etc. This resolution results in a rollover rate of a total time accumulation of approximately 1.25 years.
(OxFFFF means that Input 1 Accumulate has been turned off) Accumulated time that Input 2 has been in its undesired state with a resolution of 10 minutes. For example: 1 hour would be represented as a value of 6, 2 hours as a value of 12, etc. This resolution results in a rollover rate of a total time accumulation of approximately 1.25 years.
(OxFFFF means that Input 2 Accumulate has been turned off) Accumulated time that the SmartOne has been in a State of Vibration with a resolution of 10 minutes. For example: 1 hour would be represented as a value of 6, 2 hours as a value of 12, etc. This resolution results in a rollover rate of a total time accumulation of approximately 1.25 years. (OxFFFF means that Accumulated Vibration has been turned off) The total number of openings or closings of input 1 as selected by the user. (OxFF means that Input 1 Accumulate has been turned off) The total number of openings or closings of input 2 as selected by the user. (OxFF means that Input 2 Accumulate has been turned off) Prioritization of Periodic Standard Message Report Rates The SmartOne supports several rates at which it will send a Periodic standard message. Periodic versus Scheduled standard message rates are mutually exclusive. This is the priority of the different rates at which the SmartOne will send a standard message (Highest is listed first):
Rate specified by Undesired Input State. Rate specified for when the SmartOne is inside its Change of Location Area. SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 18 9100-0425-01 Rate specified for when device is In Motion. (Note, when inside the Change of Location Area, this rate affects sampling, but not reporting, as indicated by a higher priority for inside Change of Location Area.) Rate specified for when the device is At Rest. Message Priorities It is possible that message types may collide. Whenever feasible, the SmartOne will examine its known schedule and reschedule lower priority messages to occur after higher priority ones. If there is not enough time in the known schedule for all scheduled messages to be transmitted in a reasonable time, or there is insufficient memory to queue them, the lowest priority message(s) could be dropped. In any case, unscheduled messages (for example, Input Status Changed) shall cancel pending messages of lower priority and not cancel pending messages of higher priority. The following list shows the priority of message types, with the highest priority being listed first. Contact Service Provider User Defined Raw message. *
User Defined Truncated message. *
Change of Location Area Replace Battery Solar product does not require this message Undesired Input State Re-Center Diagnostics Accumulate/Count Device Turned On Normal Location (In-Motion or At-Rest). Input Status Changed
*Note: The two user defined message types actually have equal priority. Either one will cancel the other one. If, for example, the user interface commands the device to send a Truncated message, and then, before it has time to obtain a fix and send the message, the user commands a Raw message, the Raw message will be sent. SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 19 9100-0425-01 4. Serial Commands The SmartOne uses the I/O port for unit configuration as well as interface to remote passive and smart sensors. Two commands are provided in the unit interface to support smart sensors. External sensors that can format and communicate to the SmartOne can send user data through the SmartOne by using these two commands. This section describes the serial interface between the SmartOne and a computer or other programming device. SmartOne will respond to any command that contains fields with invalid values with a NAK response (command field set to 0xFF). Describe Bluetooth Interface in this Section Serial Packet Format (commands and answers) Communication to the SmartOne will follow the following specific format:
Preamble Length 1 byte 1 byte Cmd 1 byte Data Variable length 0 54 bytes CRC 2 bytes Total length range permitted: 5 bytes (Data field length 0) to 59 bytes (Data field length 54). Serial Packet Fields The different fields are defined as:
Preamble Fixed Pattern 0xAA Length Total number of bytes in the serial packet including the preamble Cmd Data Command type (See table below). Responses to commands carry the same command type as the command that initiated the answer Data associated with the command or answer CRC Low Least significant byte of the 16-bit CRC CRC High Most significant byte of the 16-bit CRC SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 20 9100-0425-01 CRC Algorithm The Security Field is a 16-bit CRC of all of the previous fields including the preamble, length, and command bytes. The remainder is initialized to all 1's (0xFFFF) and the CRC is inverted before being sent. Following is a sample C routine that implements the algorithm using the reversed technique:
WORD crc16_lsb(BYTE *pData, WORD length)
{
BYTE i;
WORD data, crc;
crc = 0xFFFF;
if (length == 0) return 0;
do
{
data = (WORD)0x00FF & *pData++;
crc = crc ^ data;
for (i = 8; i > 0; i--)
{
if (crc & 0x0001) crc = (crc >> 1) ^ 0x8408;
else crc >>= 1;
}
} while (--length);
crc = ~crc;
return (crc);
}
As an example, for a type (0x01) Get ID message made up of the following bytes: AA 05 01 The following 2 byte CRC would be calculated: D5 50 The complete message sent by the host to the SmartOne is: AA 05 01 50 D5 Serial Packet Types Cmd Description/Usage/
Comment Command Data Bytes Acknowledge Data Bytes 0x01 User requests the SmartOne to reply with integral ESN (Electronic Serial Number). This is the ID used by Globalstar to identify the unit None Four data bytes, which contain the unit ID as an unsigned integer. The MSByte is sent first. Only the 27 LSbits are non-zero 0x26 Send Truncated Message 0x27 Send Raw Message See Truncated Message section below See Raw Message section below None None SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 21 9100-0425-01 Send Truncated Message (serial message type 0x26) The SmartOne will perform a GPS location and append user data passed to the unit via the Truncated Message command 0x26. 47 bytes plus 6 bits of user data may be sent with the standard GPS location information in a messaging burst. Two bits are set in the on-air message by the SmartOne informing the recipient that the message is the Truncated type. The following table defines the message structure of the data portion of the command used to send a Truncated message. Communication to the SmartOne will follow the following specific format:
Byte Bit Parameter Description 0 7.2 Submask Bits Variable User Data User data bits. Bits 1:0 are reserved and will be masked by SmartOne Supports a maximum of 47 total bytes in this field. User application (smart sensor) should transmit only as many bytes as needed (dont pad the message) in order to keep on air packets to a minimum Default Value 0x00 Example 1 - Sending a Truncated User Message The host sends:
AA 08 26 10 22 33 <CRC-low> <CRC-High>
The SmartOne would respond:
AA 05 26 <CRC-Low> <CRC-High>
What would go out over the air is:
11 Lat-3 Lat-2 Lat-1 Lon-3 Lon-2 Lon-1 22 33 Note: All on air messages are padded to a multiple of 9 bytes. This is the reason for the trailing zeros in this example. Note: The least two significant bits of the first byte are always 01 for a trunc message, the remaining 6 bits make up the top 6 bits of the first byte sent in the serial command, in this example 000100xx (with the xx representing the two bits that the SmartOne forces to 01). The 22 and the 33 that the user sent are appended after the 6 bytes of latitude and longitude. SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 22 9100-0425-01 Example 2 - Using a Longer Message The host sends:
AA 0D 26 10 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 <CRC-low> <CRC-High>
Note: The length field: 0D 0D is the number 13 in hexadecimal, the length of the total serial command. The SmartOne would respond:
AA 05 26 <CRC-Low> <CRC-High>
What would go out over the air is:
11 Lat-3 Lat-2 Lat-1 Lon-3 Lon-2 Lon-1 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 00 00 00 00 Send Raw Message (serial message type 0x27) The SmartOne will send raw user data using the Raw Payload command 0x27. 53 bytes plus 6 bits of user data may be sent. Two bits are set in the on-air message by the SmartOne informing the recipient that the message is Raw. The following table defines the message structure used to send a Raw message. Byte Bit Parameter Description 0 7.2 Submask Bits Variable User Data User data bits. Bits 1:0 are reserved and will be masked by SmartOne Any user data Supports a maximum of 53 total bytes in this field. User application (smart sensor) should transmit only as many bytes as needed (dont pad the message) in order to keep on air packets to a minimum Default Value 0x00 Example 1 - Sending a Raw User Message:
The Host sends:
AA 0E 27 10 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 <CRC-low> <CRC-high>
The SmartOne Responds:
AA 05 27 <CRC-low> <CRC-high>
What actually goes out over the air is:
12 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 Note: The least two significant bits of the first byte are always 10 for a raw message (a HEX or decimal value of 2, the remaining 6 bits make up the top 6 bits of the first byte sent in the serial command, in this example 000100xx (with the xx representing the two bits that the SmartOne forces to 10). SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 23 9100-0425-01 Example 2 - Using a Longer Message:
The Host sends:

Note: The length field, the command contains a total of 33 bytes. The length is 21 Hexadecimal, which is equal to 33 decimal. The SmartOne Responds:
AA 05 27 <CRC-low> <CRC-high>
What actually goes out over the air is:
12 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 AA BB CC DD EE FF 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 AA 44 56 78 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Note:
All on air messages are padded to a multiple of 9 bytes. This is the reason for the trailing zeros in this example. A simple ACK or NAK from the SmartOne Device to the host (smart sensor):
ACKs. AA 05 26 <crc crc> (for the Truncated message) AA 05 27 <crc crc> (for the Raw message) NAK:
AA 05 FF <crc crc> (NAK). Note: As the SmartOne operates, some debugging traces come out of the serial port. Those traces should simply be ignored. Once the handshake line is pulled low, the unit is in command mode and debugging traces will stop. Note: User commands will ALWAYS be immediately with either an acknowledgement or a NAK Once an acknowledgement (or NAK) is received, the host should simply ignore the serial port until the next time it sends a command. the examples above).
(as shown responded to in Note: The most common reasons for a NAK are incorrect CRC, incorrect length field, or incorrect command field (i.e. not 0x26 or 0x27 for trunc and raw respectively). The Handshake Line The handshake line should be pulled low before sending each serial message. The recommended use of the handshake line is:
1) Pull handshake low. 2) Wait 2-3 milliseconds. 3) Send command 4) Receive response. 5) Raise handshake high. SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 24 9100-0425-01 5. Connecting Serial Devices to the SmartOne The SmartOne accepts a serial connection at 3 volt levels (Max), at 9600 baud. The relevant pins are TX, RX, Handshake and ground. The SmartOne can connect with devices that contain an asynchronous UART at 3 volt levels. (High State: 2.7-3 Volts, Low State: 0 Volts. Please contact Globalstar Support for more information). CAUTION: NEVER attempt to connect the SmartOne directly to the pins on a computer's RS232 or USB port. The voltages in RS232/USB are too high and can damage the SmartOne. Any deviations from the above guidelines will violate all RMA requirements and prevent any no-cost replacement. Note:
See Appendix K for information on the External Input Cables for the SmartOne.

Accumulate Hours The activity time accumulated in the Inputs of the device while the Input is in the user defined state. Activation The activation of an ESN (electronic serial number) on the Globalstar satellite network. The process consists of programming a start and an end date for the use of the ESN and the payment of certain fees to Globalstar. Sometimes referred to as provisioning. At Rest A tracker is considered to be at rest when the comparison of a new GPS reading to a previous GPS reading indicates that the tracker has not changed location by more than a specified minimum distance. The specified minimum time and the specified minimum distance are both configuration parameters. C Configuration The collection of variables that control the operating performance of a device. Configure (configuring) Programming (setting) the variables that control the operation performance of a tracker. Count Events The accumulated number of state changes in the Inputs of the device. D Delay To Start Specific delay in time following the programming of the device to commence operation. Desired State The state of the Input in normal condition defined by the user. E ESN Electronic Serial Number is a unique number assigned to each SmartOne device. The ESN Network is used by Globalstar Simplex to identify messages from the devices in the field. F Failed GPS reading A GPS reading could not be processed from available GPS satellite signals. FW Ver Firmware version is the existing software loaded in the device main processor G GPS The GPS (Global Positioning System) is a "constellation" of 24 well-spaced satellites that orbit the Earth and make it possible for people with ground receivers to pinpoint their geographic location. GPS reading The longitude, latitude, time, and date information obtained from processing the signals from the GPS satellites. SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 26 9100-0425-01 I In Motion The unit is considered to be In Motion when there is a State of Vibration and when a comparison of a new GPS reading to a previous GPS reading indicates the device has changed location by at least a specified minimum distance (100 meters by default). Inaccurate GPS reading The longitude and latitude information obtained from processing the signals from the GPS satellites when a tracker cannot observe an adequate number of satellites; the GPS signals were jammed by electronic interference; the GPS signals were reflected from objects creating multi-path conditions; or weather conditions distorted the GPS signals. An inaccurate GPS reading may have longitude and latitude errors of a mile or more. Input A digital channel in the device that allows the detection of switch stage changes. The inputs are dry contact inputs, ON/OFF. M Message A collection of information that is transmitted in a group over the satellite network. Message Interval The indicates the amount of time specified by the user between Location Messages. The SmartOne transmits a Location Message once the Message Interval has elapsed. The internal clock on the device is reset to the interval time after each transmission. The SmartOne is in low power consumption Mode during the interval to preserve battery life. Message Time(s) of Day The specific time of day in military format for the SmartOne to transmit Location Messages. The SmartOne is in low power consumption Mode between the specific times of day to preserve battery life. Message Transmission The indicates the process of sending a message over the satellite network. The process includes sending a message multiple times to improve the transmission success rate. N Number of message repeats The number of times a message is sent in a message transmission with the same Unique Message Number(UMN). The number of message repeats is configurable during the tracker set up process. Globalstar only counts repeated messages as one message if it is received three times or less. If the same message is received more than three times, Globalstar may count the message as more than one message for billing purposes S Self Test An internal unit test that is performed by the processor, checking for the proper operation of unit functions. State of Lacking Vibration The motion sensor is indicating a cease of vibration when the number of vibration pulses per minute is lower than the Level of Sensitivity for Vibration Sensor number for the time required to determine if a State of Vibration has ceased. SmartOne Solar User Guide v1.0.3 Confidential & Proprietary Information 27 9100-0425-01 T Time to be in a State of Lacking Vibration A configurable parameter that sets the period of time vibration has to be absent to determine if a State of Vibration has ceased. Time to be in a State of Vibration A configurable parameter that sets the period of time used to determine if a State of Vibration exists. U Undesired State Message The SmartOne sends this message at a user defined interval while any of its Inputs are in the undesired state selected by the user, either closed or opened.
