8.8 - Communications

Communications between the IDU and ODU are established using Bluetooth Protocol

over the 48 volt DC power cable.

8.8.1 - Bluetooth (BT) Commands

If the IDU and ODU will not communicate, it is possible that the Bluetooth protocol has

not been properly established.

The Bluetooth initialization is completed from the lower case debug prompt. Type “bt”

and press return from any lower case debug prompt.

Two commands are necessary in order to set up the BT command structure. These are

the inquiry command “inq” and initialization command “i”. The initialization command

must be given after a BT connection has been established.

The following is the correct process for establishing a BT connection.

bt>inq

Releasing Link ... Success

Inquiry (5 Seconds) ... 0 Devices Found

bt>inq

Inquiry (5 Seconds) ... 1 Devices Found

* 0800172C0D32 WCS (000000) 3111

* Remote Name 0800172C0D32 ... WCS Tracker

* Saving Remote Addr 0800172C0D32 ... Success

bt>i

* Release Link: BT No Connection

* Req Establish: Success

* Link Indicator

* Success

bt>

8.8.2 - Changing the iDirect Default Password

The iDirect password can be changed in the debug prompt.

1. Enter the debug menus as described in the global procedures section of this manual.

2. At the “trk>” prompt type “cfg” and press enter.

a. This will change the prompt to “cfg>”.

3. Type “modempass <new password>” and press enter. This is case sensitive.

a. A message will be returned that states “Password = <new password>”.

4. Type “save” and press enter. This saves the change to the configuration file. The

system will now use the new password to access the iDirect modem.

5. Cycle power on the IDU.

Note: The “inq” command was given twice

because it failed to establish the proper

connection the first time. Having to do this 2

or 3 times is not unusual.
