1. INTRODUCTION
Wireless Matrix thanks you for choosing the SDT 5000 for your remote data communication solution.
We hope it will be a valuable asset in your operations for many years to come.
The SDT 5000 is an integrated, lightweight, highly ruggedized satellite data transceiver (SDT). It is
highly configurable, with a user-friendly interface. The SDT 5000 is designed to provide full duplex
data communications between remote field equipment and a centralized computer host. It is
compatible with the MDS X.25 Packet Switched Data Network on the MSAT Satellite.
The SDT 5000’s reliability, robustness and flexibility, combined with the MDS coverage, make it an
excellent solution for remote data communication links. The unit can operate unattended and self-
contained in remote locations using solar cells and rechargeable batteries.
Typical applications include:
•remote asset management for oil and gas industries,
•transmission of SCADA telemetry for utilities,
•water management,
•remote weather data collection,
•environment monitoring,
•use as a transportable data terminal.
•Machine to Machine (M2M) communications.
1.1 Key Features
The SDT 5000 feature set includes the following:
•Multiple interface protocols: Transparent, Narrowband Protocol, AT command and PPP,
provide the capability to send, receive, messages from a user’s remote terminal unit (RTU).
•Input/Output includes a 9-wire RS232 RTU port, a 3-wire RS232 test port, 2 digital inputs, 1
low side output, 1 high side output, 1 analog input and one power enable (ignition) line.
•Satellite synchronized clock allows for convenient scheduling of transmissions.
•Local or remote configuration of communication parameters. The local configuration is
through a user-friendly command line interface. Remote configuration is provided through
the command server facility (see related chapter).
•Exceptionally low power consumption while receiving.
•A highly ruggedized all in one modem, provided in a weatherproof enclosure. The enclosure
is small, easy to install, and extremely durable.
•Low latency satellite base data communications over the MSAT Packet Data Service.

•Numerous options are available to provide non-volatile memory, Ethernet and other features.
1.2 Reference Documents
The following documents may also be required depending on the operating mode of the SDT 5000:
•MAN002 SDT 5000 Command Reference, Wireless Matrix Corp
•MAN004 AT Reference, Wireless Matrix Corp.
•MAN005 NBP Programmers Guide, Wireless Matrix Corp.
•ISO 8208, Information processing system – Data communications – X25 Packet Level
Protocol for Data Terminal equipment, 1987, International Organization for Standardization.
1.3 Manual Organization
This manual is divided into the following chapters:
Introduction Provides a basic description of the SDT 5000, a summary of its
important features, the manual’s organization and service
support information.
Setup and Installation Describes how to perform a basic setup and installation of an
SDT 5000 SCADA satellite terminal
SDT 5000 Quick Start Provides a set of steps to follow to get the SDT 5000 to
transmit RTU data, events, operate the switch, and generate a
scheduled report. Basic trouble shooting of hardware interface
issues is included for each section.
System Overview This section provides the user with an overview of the SDT
5000.
How to Use the Screens Describes how to navigate and operate the SDT 5000’s
screens, change parameters and interpret the status line.
Screen Reference Provides detailed explanations for every user screen.
Interfacing the SDT 5000
with an RTU Describes the physical connections required to interface the
SDT 5000 with an RTU. Explains flow control methods, how
to wake-up the SDT 5000 and/or the RTU.
Command Server Summary Describes user commands to remotely access the SDT 5000.
We recommend you read the first four chapters before installing or using the SDT 5000. In
particular, the “Setup and Installation” chapter provides critical information for the safe and reliable
operation of an SDT 5000. Some sections are applicable only in certain protocol modes.
