General Description
The Xi-100b project has been designed as a low power, two-way satellite telemetry system for
deployment at remote stations in harsh environments. This project is made up of two parts:
A device capable of sending data packets, for state of health, and data records.
A RUDICS tunnel for a direct IP connection to remote devices through XeosOnline.
XeosOnline is also designed to easily send commands and remotely configure Xi-100b devices,
retrieve system status and data messages on demand, and configure and maintain RUDICS tunnel
configurations.
The main design criteria for the Xi-100b were low power and reliable operation while in the harsh
Antarctic environment. The Xi-100b implements remote programmability, and heating
capabilities within a rugged casing, capable of withstanding the extreme conditions of the polar
regions.
See www.xeostech.com for details or call [phone].
Operating Instructions
Setting up Your Iridium Account
The Xi-100b can be activated on several different Iridium account types. For more information
about the best choice for your application, please contact [email protected].
SBD
If the best choice is to use the Iridium satellite system’s Short Burst Data (SBD) service, Xeos
Technologies Inc. is an Iridium Value Added Reseller capable of providing this type of account.
The SBD service is a global, two-way, real-time, email-based data delivery service that has a
maximum outbound (from Xi-100b) message size of 1960 bytes and a maximum inbound (to Xi-
100b) message size of 254 bytes.
Setting up service requires the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number. The
9522B modem has a unique IMEI number that must be registered with the preferred service
provider. Xeos will make these numbers available as product is delivered.

Xi-100b User Manual Version 4.1 6
Each IMEI number is capable of being associated with up to five (5) unique destinations; this may
vary between service providers. When registering your IMEI, please provide the service provider
with the temporary Xeos testing account email address:
[email protected]
Setting up this email address allows for better technical support during the initial learning period
for the product. Once service is activated, please notify the technical support team.
While any email application can be used to send and receive messages to the Xi-100b, XeosOnline
is the easiest way to manage and monitor multiple devices. The messages contain various types
of information and XeosOnline presents that information in a human-readable format.
RUDICS
If the best choice is to use a RUDICS tunnel, please contact Xeos for assistance in setting up and
managing a RUDICS tunnel if you do not already have one established. It should be noted that
the Xi-100b cannot initiate RUDICS connections independently; SBD commands must be sent to
the device while it is in the field to begin RUDICS connections. As a consequence, an SBD plan is
required when using RUDICS service with this device.
Communicating with the Xi-100b
Special email commands are used to communicate with the Xi-100b to configure settings and
take specific actions. These commands are sent as email attachments, but can alternatively be
sent via XeosOnline. All commands are given ‘over the air’ and the Xi-100b’s antenna must have
a good view of the sky to receive these commands.
Attaching Email Command Files
All command messages must be sent to the following email address:
[email protected]

Xi-100b User Manual Version 4.1 7
Messages must have only the unique IMEI number of the Xi-100b in the subject line
Command files must be sent to Xi-100b as an attachment to a regular email message
Text in the body of the message will be ignored
Your message is sent to the Iridium Gateway in Arizona, USA
A confirmation is immediately returned from the Gateway to let you know that your message
has been received and is in the queue. This message is received from the address:
[email protected]
Note: The Iridium gateway uses separate email addresses for commands and responses.
Sending Commands Using XeosOnline™
Before using XeosOnline™make sure that your account has been set up and your device added
to your organization. Contact activati[email protected] for more information.
Setting up to Send
Navigate to the Send Command window.
From the Home Tab, choose File > Send Command
Select the units you wish to target with commands and move them
over to the right-hand target list using the -> button. Type your
command(s) into the command box and press send.
Remember to include the dollar sign ($) ahead of each command and enter each command on a
separate line. Outgoing messages will appear in the Message Log for the commanded device and
read in by the Xi-100b on its next Iridium interval.

Xi-100b User Manual Version 4.1 9
SIM Card
With the Xi-100b, a SIM card activated on the Iridium
network is required for Iridium operation. With SBD
only devices, a “Register Only” SIM is sufficient. For
RUDICS service, the SIM must be activated with that
level of operation.
In either case, the SIM must be installed in the
underside of the 9522B modem before using the Xi-
100b.
Testing the Xi-100b before Deployment
1. Connect a Satellite antenna to the unit (make sure the antenna has clear view of the sky)
2. Connect the data cable to both the Xi-100b and the data logger.
3. Connect the Power Cable to the Xi-100b and apply 12VDC to the red and black leads of
the cable
After power is connected, the Power LED and the MDM OK LED will start blinking. After about
one minute, the Mdm OK LED should stop blinking and stay solid. This means that the internal
modem diagnostic has finished, and you are now ready to test the modem for satellite
communication.
If the Mdm OK LED stops blinking and then goes out, there is a problem with
either the modem, or the connection between the modem and the main circuit
board. Contact Xeos Technologies for more assistance if this happens.
4. Press the SAT test button once.
After pressing the SAT test button, the SAT OK LED will begin blinking. The device will attempt to
contact the Iridium network. After about one minute, the SAT OK light will stop blinking and go
solid, confirming successful connection.
Internal Test Protocol
Once the unit has a power source connected, the unit will begin its power-up sequence,
performing automatic internal tests, and preparing for communications.
After fifteen minutes, the Xi-100b device will automatically turn off the LEDs, disable the buttons,
and enter Autonomous mode. Once the unit enters Autonomous mode, interaction is only
available via XeosOnline, over the Iridium network. If further on-site testing is required, the
If the power anode/cathode poles are reversed, the unit will not power up and the
Reverse Polarity LED will light. Correct the polarity if this occurs.

Xi-100b User Manual Version 4.1 10
power must be recycled to enter Interactive mode, or the command $sleepmode 1 can be issued
for further diagnostics.
A power cycle, or $sleepmode 0 will reset the sleepmode state.

Using RUDICS
The Xi-100b allows you to establish a direct TCP/IP socket connection between a local terminal
and your remote device. RUDICS itself has no underlying protocol.
If you are using the XeosOnline server, Xeos will provide you with the necessary Local Port and IP
for tunnel configuration. If your SIM is provisioned through another provider other than Xeos,
those local IPs and ports must be forwarded to that party.

Xi-100b User Manual Version 4.1 15
The Xi-100b combined with the XeosOnline Tunnel provides another layer on top of the standard
RUDICS connection. When the Xi-100b connects to the tunnel, multiple preconfigured pass-
through IP connections can be made to remote devices physically connected to the Xi-100b.
ALL CONNECTIONS MUST BE INITIATED BY THE USER. The Xi-100b will not initiate any RUDICS
connections independently without being commanded via serial or SBD, and any connected
devices must be able to accept a connection and have data retrieved from them.
What is required
1. The Xi-100b’s modem and SIM card must be provisioned for use with XeosOnline. Contact
Xeos Technologies and your SIM card provider for the necessary information
2. The IP address and Port of the remote device connected to the Xi-100b. This device must
be listening on the specified port in order for a connection to be initiated
3. The IP and Port of the XeosOnline server, through which you will connect to the Iridium
gateway. This will be supplied by Xeos Technologies.
Once the device has been added to XeosOnline, a template can be created for your RUDICS
connection. Only Xeos staff has access to configuring these items, but the user must supply the
information to achieve tunnel creation.
Xeos will ask for the items listed below to create your tunnel:
Field Name
Description
Template Name
Give your template a descriptive name
Enabled
Enable or Disable the Tunnel template on XeosOnline (will be enabled)
Iridium Listen Port
The Iridium Port provisioned for your Xi-100b’s SIM card which Xeos
will supply ahead of time if using another provider of Iridium service
Connect Script
If a server-based script is used this is enabled
Script Filename
Name of the script supplied to Xeos to automatically acquire data
IMEI
The Xi-100b associated with this tunnel

Xi-100b User Manual Version 4.1 16
Once the Tunnel is created, individual connection methods must be established. A maximum of
10 is possible and requires this information to set up:
Field Name
Description
Name
Give the tunnel a descriptive name
Local Port
The port of the XeosOnline server, based on the Iridium Listen Port. Xeos will
supply this value
Remote IP
The IP address of the peripheral device connected to the Xi-100b
Remote Port
The Port of the remote device connected to the Xi-100b
Protocol
Choose the protocol (UDP or TCP) to be used by the RUDICS connection
There is also the ability to have the connection method disabled (checkbox) or deleted entirely
(minus symbol) which Xeos will not employ unless requested to do so.
Configuring the Xi-100b for RUDICS
The Xi-100b is setup to work with the Quanterra Q330 seismic system by default.
To connect to an alternative device, several settings must be changed before deployment.
RUDICS settings
1. For devices using Ethernet to connect to the Xi-100b, RUDICS must be set to Ethernet
mode, this is done by entering the command $rdcsserial 0
2. Set the IP address of the Xi-100b using the command format $eip 192 168 0 2 using a
space instead of decimal notation. The default IP value is 192.168.0.130
3. Set the Net Mask using $enmask 255 255 255 0, again using spaces instead of decimals.
The default is 255.255.255.0
4. By default, the Xi-100b acts as a router with a network address of 192.168.0.1
This can be changed with the command $erouter 192 168 0 1 using spaces instead of
decimals.
5. The RUDICS number for the Xi-100b to dial on the start of the session; this is the 8816
number given to the RUDICS group the SIM is a member of. Leading zeroes are required
to add this setting to the Xi-100b. Ex. $rdcsnum 008816000009999

Xi-100b User Manual Version 4.1 17
RUDICS Tunnel Set-up
Note: The Peripheral device in examples is a Trimble Net-R9 with connection via Ethernet.
The Xi-100b SAT-Comms Modes
SBD Only –A SIM card, even if not using RUDICS, is REQUIRED for Xi-100b’s to work (inherent
with the 9522B modem). This card needs to be activated AT LEAST as a “Register Only” card.
“Register Only” allows the modem it is inside to “Register” with the Iridium network.
Both SBD and RUDICS –where both the SIM is set up for RUDICS, and the modem is active as
well through an Iridium SBD account. Xeos has the ability to provide this service. For the Xi-100b,
it is essential to have this service for command and control of the device, and to initiate RUDICS
sessions.
Interfacing with the Peripheral Device
Connection between the Xi-100b and a peripheral device is dependent upon several items. Most
of these involve the IP setups of both devices; incorrect settings will cause failed connections. It
is suggested that the settings of the device are used to determine the setup of the Xi-100b, as
opposed to the other way around.

Xi-100b User Manual Version 4.1 19
Making the connection
With all settings input properly on both the Xi-100b and the RUDICS tunnel, a successful RUDICS
session is available.
All RUDICS sessions must be initiated by the user; the Xi-100b does not start RUDICS sessions
without being commanded, that is, it does not use RUDICS on a scheduled basis.
Create an SBD message, either through XeosOnline or Email using the following commands:
SINGLE MODE
Single Mode allows for one RUDICS session of the specified length. If the connection is broken, it
is not re-established automatically.
CONTINUOUS MODE
Continuous mode allows for a RUDICS session of the specified length, however if the connection
is interrupted, it will attempt to re-establish.
Note: In either case, RUDICS mode will be set to OFF at the end of a completed session.
Therefore, it is imperative that the mode be changed at each RUDICS start attempt. That means
that each RUDICS start command block must include the RUDICS mode desired, and the turn-
on command. For example, a RUDICS Single Mode on block would contain:
$rdcsmode 1
$rdcs 1
These commands are then queued for delivery to the Xi-100b.
At the next Iridium interval, the Xi-100b will:
Send any data that it has previously queued for the session
Receive and act upon any commands that were queued before the session
In this case, the device will:
If using Single Mode, switch its RUDICS mode to a single session, for the length of time
specified by the previously set rdcscontmins setting
Dial the set RUDICS number to initiate the RUDICS session.
If using Continuous Mode, switch its RUDICS mode to continuous, for the length of time
specified by the rdcscontmins value that has been sent.
Once the device makes the RUDICS connection, the XeosOnline RUDICS tunnel will show as
Connected.
When an Iridium device makes the connection with XeosOnline over RUDICS, the user can then
“tunnel” into the device connected to the Xi-100b on the Local Port. Data can be retrieved

Xi-100b User Manual Version 4.1 20
automatically upon connection using a Bash or Batch script that has been added to the tunnel by
Xeos in the “Connect Script” slot.
In the graphic on page 18, the Local Port for the tunnel is set to 21101 for the web service
“110web.” To reach this destination, one would enter the following on a browser:
