3.4.1 Section D_sub: Comms
● UserID: this ID will replace the IMEI in the GPRS string if it has been set. Normally leave it blank.
● PIN code: some SIM need a pin code/password to work normally.
● APN/User Name/Password: APN user name and password.
● Domain/IP: target is domain or IP.
● Target address: domain address or IP address.
● Protocol: TCP/IP, UDP/IP.
● Server Response Timeout: TCP/IP, ACK response time, if no response is within the pre-set time, the device will send the same data again.
● Heartbeat time out: Heartbeat package (BB) time interval.
● Sending data by movement or ignition ON/OFF ① Combined with ignition: by Movement/By ignition
● is the trigger for ②/③
Caution: ACC+ or DI1+ is the PIN for the ignition connection. If ACC+/DI1+ no connected, the device will always use ‘by movement’.
● Movement detection
Ignition sensor: on (device in movement status once ignition on).
3 Axis Accelerometer: On (use 3 Axis to detect the movement).
Movement detection delay to wake up: X secs (after X secs vibration, the device wakes up).
● Sending data by movement or ignition ON/OFF ②
Minimum time: X seconds; (send data in X second interval).
Minimum distance: meter; (send data in Y meter interval).
Minimum veer: degree (send data in Z degree interval).
Each time/distance/veer (X, Y, Z) thread is separately, set as ‘0’ will disable one of them.
If ① has been selected as “by ignition” and ACC/DI1+ has connected, the device will start to count when ignition is on and X second later will send out 1pcs time interval data, and after Y meter distance, send 1pcs distance data. And if veer change Z degree, it will send out 1pcs veer data.
If ① has been selected as “by movement”, the device will start to count when the vehicle moving and X second later will send out 1st data, and after Y meter distance, send 1pcs distance data. And if veer change Z degree, it will send out 1pcs veer data.
● Ignition OFF or Stop ③
Minimum time: X seconds.
If ① has been selected as “by ignition” and ACC/DI1+ has connected, device will start to count once ignition off and X second later will send out 1st data.
If ① has been selected as “by movement”, the device will start to count when the vehicle stop and X second later will send out 1st data.
● Sleep/stop Definitions
Working mode: Normal/Sleep/Deep Sleep
Normal: Cellular module and GPS module are working normally.
Sleep: Cellular module working, GPS module shut down.
Deep sleep: Cellular module and GPS module both shutdown.
Sleep delay: X seconds
When the device stop, the device will go to working mode (sleep/deep sleep) if no vibration.
3.4.3 Section D_sub: Authorization
● Authorize ID: these are the IDs section for RFID or iButton.
Click ‘detect iButton/RFID’, and it will turn green. Once the iButton has been activated, the ID will fill in the ID list automatically.
● Covert.
The ID print on the RFID is in ASCII code, the configurator required a Hex code. Put the ID on the tag body (in the picture is 0001880284) into the configurator, it will change to Hex and then save into the device.
3.4.4 Section D_sub: IOs
● Digital input
IN1+/IN5: on/off; If ‘OFF’ was selected, this IO will not respond for input high/low.
● Digital Output User define: if you want to send an SMS to control this output, should select this item.
Off: turn off digital output
RFID/iButton: controlled by firmware, will reject the command (016) and respond to ‘format error’ when you send an SMS.
● Analog input
On/off: on of the analog input.
Percent: the GPRS string will change to percent instead of voltage itself. Minimum voltage ‘Is l’ and maximum voltage is ‘H’. The unit is mv, not V. 5000 means 5V.
In this example, the maximum level is 5V, and the minimum is 0V. if the analog input reading is 2.5V, the GPRS string will send 0050(50%) in the string.
