STEPP II HARDWARE DESCRIPTION VERSION 
1.01 
 
Normally the GPS antenna must be placed in a position where it can see the 
sky. To get a valid position, the STEPP II should get information from at 
least 3 satellites.  
The STEPP II supports two software (known as “firmware”). 
 Depending on the configuration, the device exchanges data with a 
server application (e.g. Mapping-Software, etc.). The STEPP II can be 
configured by the user via local RS232-interface or remotely over the 
GSM (air link see diagram marked  ). This configuration is based on 
the STEPP II operating with firmware version 1.6.2. Please, refer to 
the issued manual “
stepp_II_software_1.6.2_manual.pdf
”. 
 The STEPP II terminal supports a firmware, using TCP/IP stack and 
PPP protocol, according to the user configuration, terminal is able to 
establish a GPRS data connection. Via GPRS (see diagram marked  ) 
it is possible that the vehicle's current location can be polled and 
displayed or the vehicle can be tracked "live" second by second on a 
mapping software. This configuration is based on the STEPP II 
operating with firmware version 2.0RC1. The firmware version 
2.0RC1 is under development, however, for the end-user FALCOM 
releases the first version. This firmware version provides limited TCP 
commands (so far limited configuration, a full configuration is in 
preparation). Please, refer to the issued manual 
stepp_II_software_2.0RC1_manual.pdf
