Delivery plan – Delivery plan details how ORBCOMM attempts to deliver messages to the
modem. There are 4 different Delivery Plans:
1. Automatic delivery attempts: the number of times immediately upon receipt and at
one-minute intervals that the ORBCOMM Gateway attempts to deliver a modem-
terminated message.
2. Time to hold: the maximum time the ORBCOMM Gateway holds the message before
returning it as undeliverable.
3. Deletion after final attempt: whether the message is deleted after the automatic
delivery attempts are exhausted, or held until the time to hold has been reached.
4. Use of piggybacking: whether a message delivery attempt should be triggered by
successful delivery of another message in either direction.
IP Gateway - The modem may be activated to use an XML gateway in which data are transferred
directly between servers using standard HTTP requests and XML responses instead of email.
Speed Dials - Each serial ID may be provisioned with up to eight email addresses known as
speed dials or originator/recipient (O/R) addresses.
SIM Card Number - If the modem supports GSM/GPRS, you must also specify the SIM card
number to ORBCOMM. This 19 digit number is located on the attached SIM card (use all
numbers minus the ‘F’ at the end).
4.2 GPRS (non-ORBCOMM modems)
4.2.1 Activation
GPRS SIM cards may be activated using any GSM/GPRS provider with an applicable data plan.
The data plan must use APN addressing for the modem and must support data transfer. For
example, ORBCOMM’s T-Mobile APN address is “orbcomm.t-mobile.com”. Different networks
have their own requirements for APN addressing, usernames and passwords. Please consult
your airtime reseller for more information on using the GPRS network.
4.3 Iridium
4.3.1 Activation
The modem has an IMEI number for activation with the Iridium network. This number is located
on the modem’s white label, and is also available via QUAKE Communications Protocol (QCP)
(see below), with the call “IRI_getIMEIQCP” and through the Application Programming Interface
(API) with the call “IRI_getIMEI”.
The IMEI number must be activated with Iridium or an airtime reseller before the modem can be
used. If a message is sent without the modem being activated, it is ignored by the Iridium
network. For this reason, it is possible to develop and send live messages without the modem
being “turned off” by the network.
