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.

port. Serial ports are located at the back panel of your
computer.

2. Next remove the back cover of the device by screwing it
off. Plug the flat end of the BWTrackbox cable (2) in
the configuration port of the device. Make sure the re­lease button (3) is facing up.

The configuration port is
located inside the device,
in the lower part of the ac­cessory module.

Only in case the BWTrack­box cable is intended for
continuous use, you may
pierce a hole to the elas­tomer for the cable inlet.
Otherwise, leave it intact
for improving dust and
water protection.

2. Press and hold down the release button while removing
the BWTrackbox cable from the device. (The release but­ton is located on the top of the flat end of the BWTrack­box cable.)

3. In case the inlet for the BWTrackbox cable is pierced,
but the cable is taken off, the hole must be covered with
some waterproof material, such as a piece of firm tape
or silicon. This needs to be done for improving water
protection.

4. Screw the back cover back in.

Disconnect on the toolbar.

SHORT MESSAGES

In order to read, write, send and receive normal short mes­sages via the Trackbox, the Trackbox must be connected to
an external device.

The device attached to the Trackbox can be e.g. a computer,
a laptop or a palm computer. Since the Trackbox lacks the
keyboard and screen, the external device must be provided
with these. The physical connection is established with the
BWTrackbox cable.

A suitable software, for example the Benewin Trackbox, is
needed for the communication as well.

Reading and editing existing

Activity timer can also be used to wake up the device peri­odically to check if there are any incoming messages. If there
are no messages, the timer will return to sleep for the next
wake-up.

Power up/down cycle is reasonable for saving power, espe­cially in case the device is a plain battery model.

The device contains a built-in microphone. By making a call
to the Trackbox, the caller (e.g. service center) can listen in
the Trackbox and its surroundings. After certain number of
rings, the device answers an incoming call automatically by
opening audio connection.

DATA PORT ACTIVITY

Data port setting must be turned on in case the Trackbox is
needed for data transfer or connected to some external de­vice.

Turning the data port off decreases power consumption.

•To turn the data port on, check the box.

•To turn the data port off, leave the check box blank.

AUDIO

•Internal: The device contains an internal microphone and

uses it.

•

External: Audio comes from some external device via the

configuration port.

Click the arrow and highlight the currently used option.

VISIBLE MODE

The device can be set to operate

•In visible mode (the box is checked) or

•In invisible mode (the box is left blank).

In

Visible mode the LEDs are lit as described in the Track-

box Installation Guide.

Invisible mode is for making the device more difficult to de-

tect. In invisible mode only some of basic LED patterns are
lit, e.g. powering up/down. This way e.g. sending emergen­cy messages can be done very discreetly.
