Configuring ORBCOMM
Communicator
Hardware Setup
The ORBCOMM communicator is connected to the QML logger using
the RS-232 interface, through the RS-232 communication module. You
should add the communication module to the setup and set the
parameters in the Optional hardware view of Lizard Setup Software.
Under Line parameters, enter the following configuration parameters
for the module:
- Speed: 4800 bps
- Data bits: 8
- Stop bit: 1
- Parity: None
In the Devices view, add the communicator to the setup. Under I/O
Connections, connect the transceiver to the previously configured
communication module.
Formatting Reports
Configure the reports to be sent to ORBCOMM interface using the
StringForm report template in the Reports view. The report must be
formatted as follows:
<address>,<subject>,<message>
where
address
= Destination e-mail address, or the preset speed
dial number for communicator. Eight preset speed
dial addresses in total can be defined when the
communicator is commissioned for data
transactions. Using these addresses reduces the
amount of data per transmission and allows the
use of the Globalgram mode
subject = E-mail message subject, for example, station
name
message = Report contents
