AVIDdirector-M2M™ Technical Reference Guide
Overview
AVIDdirector-M2M is a dedicated wireless telemetry communication device that is capable of being installed in
an industrial environment, to provide communications with a variety of equipment. AVIDdirector-M2M is
designed to operate over any carrier’s network through different replaceable radio cards. AVIDdirector-M2M is a
ruggedized alternative to handheld wireless devices that can easily be broken, lost or stolen. AVIDdirector-M2M
is capable of expanding your telemetry applications by assembling a collection of wireless modems, ruggedized
computers and sensor input / output boards. To simplify the M2M communications and collection features,
AVIDdirector-M2M uses M2MXML
1
to interface directly with backend systems and web portals. Each device is
supplied with our M2M Application Framework software that allows a user to implement a wireless solution
directly with your current machinery or sensors without writing embedded software applications on the device.

Features
The principle features of this device are:
1. Uses the Imsys Technologies
2
Cjip Java processor. This processor directly executes Java op-codes as
its native machine instruction set without the need for an interpreter or Java to machine code compiler.
This means the executable program size is very small (Java class files are often only 1-4K in size) and
the performance is equivalent to desktop machines.
2. A Sun certified J2ME CLDC environment with extension for serial and parallel device I/O and control. It
supports the connection framework along with PPP, javax.comm serial APIs, watchdog timers and other
enhancements. Up to 128 different threads may be simultaneously executing.
3. It provides bi-directionally communication over any carrier’s network using approved and commercially
available modem modules.
