PART A: CONFIGURING SETTINGS FOR THE TRACKBOX

TRACKBOX OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PART A: CONFIGURING

SETTINGS FOR THE TRACKBOX

There are two ways to configure settings for the Trackbox:

•You can use MPTP commands and transfer settings remotely, over the air by sending a protocol message to the device.

•You can use the Benewin Trackbox software for config- uring settings and transfer them to the device locally, via the BWTrackbox data/NMEA cable. The BwTrackbox cable must be purchased separately, it is not included in the Trackbox sales package.

MPTP MESSAGES AND

REMOTE CONFIGURATION (OTA)

MPTP configuration commands are used when a remote update of the device configuration is needed.

Update can include all telematics settings and phone numbers, such as emergency numbers, status messages, authorized numbers, GPS operating mode. MPTP updates also include commands for daily usage, such as location request and tracking commands.

The remote configuration can be used for transferring the settings only in case the settings are coded as MPTP messages.

For more information on MPTP messages, please see the separate documents: Mobile Phone Telematics Protocol (MPTP), located at the Web site: www.benefon.com

THE BENEWIN TRACKBOX

SOFTWARE

The BeneWin Trackbox software is intended for configuring settings locally for the Trackbox.

Since the BeneWin is very easy to use, it is advisable to make initial and other major configurations for the device with this software. The settings done with the BeneWin software can be transferred to the Trackbox via the BWTrackbox cable.

Another, slightly quicker way to transfer configurations made by Benewin is to use the SetupLoad software.

The Benewin software consists of four main groups of settings: Short messages, Phone books, User settings and Telematics settings. The settings are divided up into pages and groups including several data fields, such as

settings Protocol settings and so on.

When you are finished with editing the settings, you can either transfer the settings back to the device via the BWTrackbox cable immediately, or save them in a computer disk (as any normal file) for further use.

Key in the interval for sleeping time in the GPS Economy mode. In addition to sleeping time, the device needs some time for searching satellites and calculating position (the time needed for this depends on present circumstances).

NOTE: This setting is only available in some special models.

NMEA OUTPUT

The NMEA port output can be turned on or off. This device supports the NMEA 0183 v2.0 output protocol, which is used for transferring position data between the device and a navigation system, such as a Search and Rescue application. For the connection you also need a BWTrackbox Data/ NMEA cable (an accessory).

- By selecting Off, you will turn the NMEA output port

off.

- By selecting a transferring speed you will turn the NMEA output port on.

When the NMEA output is turned on, the device will consume slightly more power.

ASSISTED GPS

Trackbox has capability to receive assistance to the GPS receiver in order to speed up the initial position calculation. This is very useful feature if the device is in poor satellite coverage.

Assistance can be supplied over the Mobile Phone Telematics Protocol in a binary coded protocol message. The message will contain ephemeric and almanac data which is based on a rough position calculated by e.g. GSM network parameters (Cell-ID, CI-TA etc). The assisted GPS is supplied from a third party station server.

Using the AGPS does NOT affect the accuracy of the position. If the last position fix is deemed to be too old, and the AGPS is set, the AGPS feature is automatically used to speed up the position determination.

The cost of the AGPS service is determined on the contract of the service provider.

You can specify settings for ordering assisted GPS information from a service provider.

With this "event log full" setting (3) you can define how to proceed when the log is about to reach limit. You can choose from these options:

•

No notification: No action at all. The log will do nothing

else but preserve the already collected log information (if the

Event log is Enabled). When the log is full, there is no

space for new log information. The service center will NOT be informed of this at all. However, it is still possible to recall (or clear) the log "over the air" by sending a specific MPTP message separately to the device.

•

CSD: When the log reaches the limit, the log information

will be sent automatically as a CSD call to a pre-configured CSD number. There are three sending attempts.

•

SMS: When the log reaches the limit, the device will send

an SMS notification informing that the log is almost full. A new log information cannot be stored unless the old log has been separately cleared or recalled by the service center or an authorized number.

•

First SMS, then CSD: When the log reaches the limit, an

SMS notification will be sent informing the service center of an incoming log transfer. Then the log information will be sent automatically as a CSD call to a pre-configured CSD number. There are three sending attempts.

CSD number

Key in the CSD data call number (4). The number is needed for transferring log information from the device to the receiving mobile phone, which is connected to the computer.

NOTE: In order to use the CSD data connection, you need to have a specific SIM card, which is equipped with high speed multidata feature. Multidata feature includes a separate data call phone number (i.e. CSD number) for data reception. In order to get this feature, please contact your network operator.

RANSFERRING OR CLEARING THE LOG

In order to be able to collect new log i nf ormati on , th e ol d lo g information must be transferred or cleared.

1. If the selected procedure option contains a CSD call, the

old log will be cleared automatically after successful CSD

call.

- However, the CSD data call can fail for reasons, such as: CSD number is not set, establishing data call connection is failed, ongoing data call is disconnected, or an emergency call (or some other primary function) is activated during the data call transmission.

- If the CSD call fails after three attempts, an SMS will be sent to the service center informing of reasons for failure.

2. Clearing or transferring the log can also be done individually, by sending a specific MPTP message to the device,

after which the device sends or deletes the log.

- Proceed this way if the CSD call fails after three attempts, or the selected procedure option does not contain a CSD call at all.

3. The Event log information can also be transferred or cleared locally, by using the Benewin software and BWTrackbox cable.

- You may proceed this way if you can wait until the device "returns home".

Waypoint tracking is remotely controlled by the service center. When the waypoint tracking is turned on, the position information will be sent to the service center only when the device is moving in to the pre-defined area.

NOTE: If the device moves in to the same area more than once, new tracking messages will be sent only in case the device has been far away (over 100 meters of the borderline) and stayed far away for over a minute before returning back in.

You can determine up to 30 separate, circular areas. The areas are separated from each other by defining an ID number (1) and a name (3) individually for each area.

The waypoint area can be determined by keying in center point coordinates, both latitude and longitude (4) and a radius of an area in 10 meters (5). E.g. by entering 5, your actual radius will be set for 50 meters (minimum).

To activate the waypoint, check the tivate the waypoint, leave the check box blank.

ACTIVITY TIMER PROCEDURE

1. The activity timer is activated as soon as the time set in the

Start time data field matches with the current time.

2. The device will be turned on. This automatic power-up does not cause the LEDs to be lit.

3. According to configuration the position is calculated and sent to the service center. For more information on configuring activity timer, see

4. The device will then remain in idle mode for the pre-defined time after which it will be turned off.

However, the power-down can be postponed by sending a Location Request (LOC) message to the device. Postponing might be necessary for e.g. completing all ongoing events before the power will be turned off.

All tracking messages, including LOC messages, override the

Interval time set in the Activity timer. For more information

on LOC messages, see the chapter

PART B: OPERATING THE TRACKBOX

RESPONDING LOCATION HISTORY REQUEST

The device responds the location history request by sending several old positions with desired intervals to the requesting number (service center number). If requested, the whole trace of the device can be unravelled afterwards.

Otherwise responding procedure works the same way as it does in a single location request (see above).

RESPONDING LATEST POSITION REQUEST,

?HIS MESSAGES

The device responds the latest position request this way: It sends the latest position to the service center immediately. The position sent is the very latest one found in the device memory.

The GPS stays in off-state: Position is not refreshed.

NETWORK POSITIONING SUPPORT

The device can be requested to send its current GSM network parameters at any time. Requesting number could be, e.g. service center. The message that the device sends as a response is called the Network Measurement Report (NMR).

The device will send network parameters to the requesting number automatically in two cases:

•Authorization is enabled and the requesting number is authorized.

•Authorization is entirely disabled.

Emergency center and service center numbers are always authorized.

If the authorization is enabled and the position request comes from an unauthorized number, the device will discard the request.

If the service center number is defined and authorization is disabled, the response is always sent to the service center number.

The Network Measurement Report contains rough data and the position needs to be separately calculated by taking into account surrounding base stations and distances in between them. Calculation of the position needs a separate server, available from Benefon Partners. The device cannot calculate the position based on network parameters by itself.

REMOTE TRANSFER

The device sends the log to the service center remotely, as a CSD call, using Z-modem protocol. The CSD data call number and service center number must be configured in the Trackbox in advance. For more information, see

BER ON PAGE 25

and CSD NUMBER ON PAGE 36.

The computer must contain a modem application which supports Z-modem protocol (e.g. Windows Hyperterminal). NOTE: Check the modem settings. Serial port must be correct, and transfer speed must be set according to receiving phone. E.g. when using the Benefon mobile phone as the receiving phone, transfer speed must be set to 19200 Bits/Second.

During the transfer, the receiving mobile phone must be connected to the computer by a data cable/BWTrackbox cable. NOTE: Automatic answer setting of the receiving mobile phone is for voice calls, not data calls and thus it must be turned off.

In order to make the modem answer automatically incoming data calls, key in the command ats0=1 on the screen of the modem and press Enter on the keyboard. The command is associated with the receiving mobile phone. (the automatic answer for data calls can be turned off by keying in the command ats0=0)

The incoming log file will be found in your computer. Default destination directory depends on modem settings and can be changed. In most cases the log file can be located at the root directory of the modem application. The binary-coded log file identifier is .DAT. Here is an example case by using Hyperterminal, see below:

PART E: IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

Telematics protocol

MPTP (Mobile Phone Telematic Protocol) allows, among

other things, tracking of the device over the SMS communication.

Automatically sent telematics messages are only allowed to authorized numbers configured in the device. Such numbers can be, e.g. emergency and service center numbers.

Position of the device is retrieved by the GPS, or by the network parameters - the latter is a network-dependent service.

The carrier for telematics messages is an SMS-message. Deliveries of all messages is fully handled by and in the responsibility of the GSM network operator and services can vary substantially.

The charge of a protocol message is determined on the contract by the service provider.

GPS

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of the United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes that could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment.

Emergency calls

The device is an aid and should never be relied upon as an only emergency device. Its functionality is dependent on GSM network and GPS satellites which may not be available all the time.

To make emergency calls, the device must be turned on and located in an area with adequate GSM network signal strength. A valid SIM card must be inserted in the device and the device must be configured to make emergency calls.

Connection is not quaranteed in all conditions. Rough terrain or large buildings may limit the operation of the device. Never completely rely upon the device for essential communications.
