Page 4 of 4 Copyright © 2000-2016, Global Traffic Technologies, LLC 1. Introduction 1.1 Scope This specification defines and controls the serial communications interface between the Global Traffic Technologies (GTT) Radio Module controller and the RF module controller through which the configuration and control of the RF module is performed. 1.2 Definitions, Acronyms, and Abbreviations This section contains descriptions of terms, acronyms, and abbreviations that are used throughout this document. 3D – Three dimensional RF – Radio Frequency PPS – Pulse Per Second
Page 5 of 5 Copyright © 2000-2016, Global Traffic Technologies, LLC 2. Protocol Specification The following subsections detail the structure of the protocol. Individual message types are defined in the next major section. 2.1 Roles This protocol is intended to be used in a point-to-point mode only meaning one GTT controller to one RF module. The devices act as near peers in that the GTT device assumes the role of a master device in order to perform configuration of the RF module. However, once operations have begun, the RF module autonomously reports inbound data as it occurs while the GTT controller periodically sends content to be transmitted and the time index to be used in frequency hopping. 2.2 Error Detection & Recovery All devices are expected to detect framing, checksum and overflow errors. If a device detects a communication error such as these, the device will not send a response to the received message. It is the sender’s responsibility to detect the lack of response from the receiving device and resend the command if it so chooses. During configuration, the GTT controller will perform retries to ensure that the RF module is fully configured prior to enabling over-the-air operation. If a device receives a message without error, but the message contains invalid data, or the requested operation cannot be performed due to the current context of the receiving device, then the device is expected to provide information in the response to the sender that it could not carry out the command. Under operational conditions (i.e. over-the-air), the messages are transfers of data, not diagnostics or configuration. Failure of a transfer (See annotations in the message section) shall not require a retry since loss of a single data is non-critical (i.e. either repeated or new data will be arriving momentarily). 2.3 Flow Control No flow control shall be supported by this protocol. 2.4 Character Format The supported binary character format is the following: Start bits: 1 Data bits: 8 Stop bits: 1 Parity: None
Page 6 of 6 Copyright © 2000-2016, Global Traffic Technologies, LLC 2.5 Supported Data Types In order to specify the message formats, the following data type definitions are necessary: Type Size Range UCHAR 8 bits 0..255 CHAR 8 bits -128..127 USHORT 16 bits 0..65535 SHORT 16 bits -32768..32767 ULONG 32 bits 0..4,294,967,295 LONG 32 bits -2,147,483,648..2,147,483,647 Each byte (where a byte is 8 bits in size) of these data types is serial transmitted least-significant bit first, most-significant bit last. Multi-byte data types are transmitted least-significant byte first, most significant byte last. For example, an unsigned short with value 1234H would be transmitted as a byte with value 34H followed by a byte with value 12H (i.e. little endian). 2.6 Message Format Messages are sent from the host to the radio in multiple of 8 bytes. For messages that are not even multiples of 8 bytes, the remaining package is padded with trailing zeros (0). Messages have the following structure: <Header><Length><Command><Data><Checksum> with the fields further defined below: <Header> The <Header> shall be a single UCHAR with a value 0x02 representing an STX. A message receiver begins assembling a new incoming message when it receives a <Header> meeting this specification. <Length> 16 bit value specifying the number of bytes to follow including the checksum. <Command> The <Command> is composed of a single ASCII CHAR. Commandsare defined in section 5.Commandsthat are initiated by the host are always an uppercase character. Commands that initiated by the RF module or responses to host commands are always a lowercase character.
Page 7 of 7 Copyright © 2000-2016, Global Traffic Technologies, LLC <Data> The <Data> field is an optional, variable length field which has a format that is context dependent for each<Message ID>. The maximum length for this field is not limited by the protocol. <Checksum> The <Checksum> field is a single USHORT field which is the 16-bit sum (sum modulo 216) of all the bytes in the message prior to this field. This sum includes the <Header>,<Length>,<Command>, and <Data> fields.
Page 8 of 8 Copyright © 2000-2016, Global Traffic Technologies, LLC 3. Setup and Configuration Messages 3.1 Set Mode (M) Used by the host to change the operational mode of RF module. Offline mode is an idle mode where operational setup occurs. Online mode is an active operations mode where normal transmit and receive functions are performed. Tests modes are receive test mode and transmit test mode. RF Module responds with the new active mode or a Broken Mode status. Offline Mode is characterized by no RF activity (transmitter off, receiver off) and no frequency hopping. Online Mode is possible when the RF module has been completely configured. Note: When enabled, programming mode may use a different protocol Sent by Host: Data Element Base Type Instances Description Length USHORT 1 Number of bytes to follow including checksum. Always 4 for this message. Command UCHAR 1 Single ASCII character ‘M’ for mode.

Page 9 of 9 Copyright © 2000-2016, Global Traffic Technologies, LLC 3.2 Set Framing Configuration (F) Used by the host to configure the number of slots to occur in each frequency hop, number of data slots, and the individual slot configurations. All slots are assumed to be receive slots until configured otherwise. Note: the first one or more slots of a frame may not be useable if the transmission time is less than 3.167 msec. This time is needed by the radio to tune to the new frequency. Sent by Host: Data Element Base Type Instances Description Length USHORT 1 Number of bytes to follow including checksum. Value is 4 + (number of slots * 2). Command UCHAR 1 Single ASCII character ‘F’ for framing configuration. Number of slots/hop UCHAR 1 Number of slots to follow. This value should always be set to 186 to be compatible with the legacy radio system and is a FCC requirement. Any other value will void FCC certification. The default value is 186. For each slot Slot Size USHORT 1 Number of bytes in each slot are defined as follows: Slot A0 = 128 bytes (1 slot) Slot I 1 to I 25 = 128 bytes each (25 slots) Slot V 1 to V 100 = 64 bytes each (100 slots) Slot C 1 to C 60 = 30 bytes each (60 slots) Any other values will not be compatible with the existing Opticom GPS Radio System.

Responsibilities to comply with FCC and Industry Canada Regulations The OPTICOMGPS5 Module has been certified for integration only into products manufactured by GTT under the following conditions: 1. The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times. 2. The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However, GTT is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.). IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for certain configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC and Industry Canada authorizations are no longer considered valid and the FCC ID and IC Certification Number cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, GTT will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC and Industry Canada authorization.
