5 DEVELOPING MODEM APPLICATIONS

This chapter discusses developing market-specific software applications to work with the QUALCOMM Globalstar GSP-1620 Satellite Data Modem, particularly Remote Monitoring and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) applications.

A GSP-1620 modem functions as a 9600 bps full duplex satellite modem. Applications communicate with the modem using standard “Hayes Modem” AT commands, or initialization strings.

This chapter includes the following topics:

•Recommended development tools

•SCADA application components

•Packet/asynchronous data overview

•Modem application scenarios

•Working with modem features (including using Data and Control ports, Globalstar satellite service, Short Messaging Service, Globalstar alerts, and position location determination)

•Using packet data (including networking software and

PPP sessions, IP addressing, dormant mode, mobile-originated and mobile-terminated packet data calls, and roaming)

•Using asynchronous data (including mobile-originated and mobile-terminated asynchronous data calls, accessing packet data over an asynchronous connection, and roaming)

•Typical modem initialization strings
