2.2 Component Descriptions
2.2.1 Backend Software
Backend software is a customer provided software application. Regardless of its purpose one of its primary functions is to parse and present data
obtained from the LM Direct server. This allows the application to do any of the following:
Display location data base on reports received from the TTU-2900™ in a variety of formats.
Present historic information received from the TTU-2900™ typically in a report/chart style format
Request location updates from one or more TTU-2900™
Update and change the configuration of one or more TTU-2900™
2.2.2 LMU Manager
LMU Manager is the primary support and configuration tool in the CalAmp system. It allows access to almost every feature available to the
TTU-2900™. Unlike the backend software, it has the option of talking directly to an TTU-2900™ or making a request forwarded by the LM
Direct server.
For further details on using LMU Manager, please refer to the LMU Manager Users Guide.
2.2.3 LM Direct Server
LM Direct is a message interface specification detailing the various messages and their contents the TTU-2900™ is capable of sending and
receiving. This interface allows System Integrators to communicate directly with TTU-2900™s.
Sample code is available to system integrators upon request to aid in the development of an LM Direct Server.
2.2.4 Wireless Data Network
The Wireless Data Network provides the information bridge between the LM Direct server and the TTU-2900™s. Wireless data networks can
take a variety of forms, such as cellular networks, satellite systems or local area networks. At this point in time, the networks available to the
TTU-2900™ are:
