5. Vehicle Unit LED Indicators


GSM Status LED (green) If LED flashes (once per second): Device is scanning SIM, registering to GSM network or connecting to carrier. If LED stays on continuously: Device is connected to GPRS network. Device is able to receive commands over GPRS and SMS and send data to server. If LED flashes rapidly (twice per second): GSM error detected, such as SIM card not found or communication command error.

GPS LED (red) If LED flashes (once per second): Device is searching GPS signal. If LED stays on Continuously: Device has GPS lock. If LED flashes rapidly (twice per second): GPS module error or communication between GPS module and device CPU is interrupted.

6. Getting Started
After applying the wire harness to the Vehicle Unit, the device will power up and automatically attempt to register to GSM network. Provided that your vehicle and the device is positioned in a location with clear un-obstructed view of the sky, the device will then start scanning for GPS satellites to obtain its first GPS lock. This first fix can take several minutes. Before the device is able to operate properly, some mandatory setup parameters need to be configured from the Control Base software or Tracking Websites. The following basic initializations, SIM card details and GPRS dial-up information are required to be sent by SMS command or RS232 in order to establish communication with the server: - CCNO: GSM number assigned as Control Base number with full authorization - ID: Device ID (8 digits) - Choice of GPRS or SMS as communication option - APN (Access Point Nodes) for GPRS dial-up - UserID and Password for GPRS dial-up (if applicable) - IP of host server for data exchange - Port of host server for data exchange Submit the information to complete the setup of your Vehicle Unit. IMPORTANT NOTE: Once your device has been initialized, all following commands sent through the Control Base have to use the same GSM number (Control Center Number). To switch to a different Control Center number at a later time, you will need to send an Initialization command with the modified Control Center number using the original GSM number at the Control Base. 8
