▲ Uniden Data 2000 Wireless CDPD PC CardUniden Data 2000 Operation & Programming Guide 1-11 Uniden Data 2000 Introduction1.1 What is the Uniden Data 2000?The Uniden Data 2000 is a wireless CDPD PC Card which enables most vendors’ laptops, handheld computers, and Personal Digital Assistants with Type II PC Card slots to communicate with host-based applications such as web servers, intranet servers, databases, dispatch systems, and other host computer systems. The Uniden Data 2000 uses the Internet suite of protocols running over the CDPD (Cellular Digital Packet Data) system. The product is fully Windows compatible, supporting Windows 95, Windows NT, and Windows CE, and provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) which offers the user simplified access to operational status and statistics, as well as the ability to configure, control, and mon-itor the performance of the device. The Uniden Data 2000’s compact size makes it an easily portable communications tool that can be stored conveniently in a briefcase or purse when not in use.1.2 What is CDPD?CDPD or Cellular Digital Packet Data is a wireless, public access, packet data standard designed to operate over existing analog cellular phone systems. Since it is designed to use existing cellular phone sys-tems, CDPD provides a large coverage area, low service pricing, and fast transaction execution. CDPD’s primary benefit is quick, inexpen-sive, and efficient transmission of data packets over the existing cellular network. Additional benefits include built-in encryption for security (where applicable); a billing structure which charges for message size rather than on-line time (depending on individual service provider’s ser-vice plans); forward error correction methods that reduce the effects of noise and interference on the airlink; and availability.
▲ Uniden Data 2000 Wireless CDPD PC Card1-2 1.3 What is the PCMCIA Standard for PC Cards?Over the past several years, mobile computers have experienced explo-sive growth. While prices have fallen sharply, features are becoming more advanced and reliability has been greatly improved. One of the most notable features of today’s mobile computers is the PC Card slot. Over the last four years, the personal computer industry has rapidly adopted the PC Card slot feature, and today nearly 75 percent of laptops include a PC Card slot. This has been the driving force in the innovation and development of PC Card technology.In 1989, an international standards body and trade association was founded, called the PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card Inter-national Association.). This organization was founded in order to estab-lish standards for Integrated Circuit cards and to promote interchangeability among mobile computers where ruggedness, low power, and small size are critical. Even though PCMCIA is a rather young technology, it has been quickly adopted by every major personal computer manufacturer in the world. Since it’s inception, PCMCIA has published a PC Card Standard which contains all of the physical, electrical and software specifications for PC Card technology. This standard is in a constant state of improvement by the PCMCIA technical committee.

Do not yet have from engineers.After running Windows 95 Dial-up Networking, your next step is to load the Uniden Data 2000 host appications.There are two host applications provided with the Uniden Data 2000: UD Config and UD Insight. UD Config allows the user to configure and modify the parameters of the Uniden Data 2000. UD Insight provides insight to the user regarding the state and status of the Uniden Data 2000 in the SLIP Mode. Important: UD Config requires the Uniden Data 2000 to be in AT command mode in order to operate, not UDP, TCP or SLIP mode. Important: UD Insight requires the Uniden Data 2000 to be in SLIP mode with a Winsock in place and running.2.7.1 UD Config UD Config is a host application that allows the user to configure and modify the parameters of the Uniden Data 2000. It has 7 tabbed dialogs which represent the 7 different parameter areas that are accessible to the user. The seven areas are:• Comm Settings•Network•CDPD• Default Tables•Modem•Code Version• StatusNote: Each field within each tabbed dialog offers tool tips which explain the field’s purpose, as well as how to select or add information to the field.
▲ Uniden Data 2000 Wireless CDPD PC Card2-44 Comm SettingsThe Comm Settings tab displays which COM Port the Uniden Data 2000 is configured to, as well as the baud rate it is using.UD Config searches for the Uniden Data 2000 upon startup. If it finds the Uniden Data 2000, it ‘remembers’ which COM port, and at which baud rate it found the Uniden Data 2000. Subsequent executions of UD Config will then look for the Uniden Data 2000, starting from the previ-ously saved settings. If UD Config does not find the Uniden Data 2000, it begins a search, checking COM1 through COM4, using the following baud rates: 4800, 9600, 14400, and 19200 baud.When UD Config searches for the PC Card, the Comm Settings tab dia-log is displayed first, indicating to the user where UD Config found the PC Card. If UD Config located the Uniden Data 2000 at its previously stored location, the Comm Setting tabbed dialog displays last. Beyond this, there is no particular order to the remaining UD Config dialog tabs.Note: Each time the user switches from one tabbed dialog to another, the mouse changes to a hourglass icon while UD Config loads the parameters from the Uniden Data 2000.

▲ Uniden Data 2000 Wireless CDPD PC CardUniden Data 2000 Operation & Programming Guide 2-492.7.2 UD InsightUD Insight provides insight to the user regarding the state and status of the Uniden Data 2000. The application works when the Uniden Data 2000 is in SLIP/PPP mode and a Winsock is in place and running. Win-socks include Windows 95 Dial up Networking, Trumpet, and other similar applications resident on a Windows 95 platform.When the Uniden Data 2000 is in SLIP mode and a Winsock is in place, applications communicate to the Uniden Data 2000 with either UDP over IP packets, or TCP over IP packets. UD Insight uses UDP over IP packets, and sends a request for information from the Uniden Data 2000. The Uniden Data 2000 replies with a response that includes the follow-ing data:channel - Current channelrssi - Received signal strength indication. Add to -113 to get true RSSI in dBm.regstate - Registration state. 0= No; 1=Yes. reg_result - Registration result code.spni - Service provider network ID.cell_num - Current cell number.wasi - Wide area service ID.spi - Service provider IDdata_sent - Bytes sentdata_rcvd - Bytes receivedactive_nei [NEI_LEN] - Current IP addressThese packets are sent and received once every 5 seconds.

In most cases, you will not need to install software in your PC Card, however, there are some instances when software installation is required: • You receive an upgraded version of the software.• You wish to change the data encryption support. (You may switch from software that supports data encryption to a version that does not support data encryption, and vice-versa.)The Uniden Data 2000 supports two types of software: data encryption software (128 bit key and 40 bit key) and non-encryption software. Data encryption software can only be used within the United States and Canada. To check the software version, use the AT command AT SWVER? or ATI listed in section 6.5 AT Commands/Reading the Configuration.If you would like to re-load the software and do not have the appropriate software diskette, contact Uniden Customer Service directly at 1-888-6-UNIDEN to request a diskette containing the appropriate software ver-sion.
