WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES CORP. unless such commitment is expressly given in a covering document.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

FCC

The GPRS modem was tested and certified to meet FCC Parts 15 in a stand-alone configuration, which demonstrated that it complies with Part 15 emission limits. The PT-101 uses an Enfora manufactured GPRS modem. FCC Part 22 & Part 24 is covered by the "modular approval" process for a transmitter. This approach, described by FCC Public Notice DA 00-131407 released June 26, 2000, is intended to afford relief to equipment manufacturers by eliminating the requirement for obtaining a new equipment authorization for the same transmitter when installed in a new device.

In order to approve it without additional FCC certification approvals, the installation must meet the following conditions:

For the transmitter to meet the MPE categorical exclusion requirements of 2.1091, the ERP must be less than 1.5 watts for personnel separation distance of at least 20 cm (7.9 in). Therefore, the maximum antenna gain cannot exceed +3.3dBi. If greater than 1.5 watts exists, then additional testing and FCC approval is required.

R&TTE -

The GPRS modem has been fully tested and complies with all the requirements of EN301 489-1, EN301 489-7 and EN60950-1:2001. Compliance to EN301 511 has been demonstrated by testing on the PT-101.

the Program menu and select “Mode – Manual”. If this selection is not shown the software is in this mode already. The software can return to automatic mode by selecting the Program menu and then selecting “Mode – Auto”.

A1.1 Verifying the PT-101 has Established a GSM Connection

To verify that the PT-101 has established a GSM connection follow these steps.

 Is the antenna attached?  Is the SIM card installed? The SIM card must be installed to establish a connection.  In the DP1000S, Select Function section select Query Commands. This selection is only

displayed when the software is in Manual Mode.

 In the Query Commands section click on the “Verify GSM Status” button.

 The modem will reply in the text box at the bottom of the software. If you do not get a reply from

the modem verify that has power (12V) and that the correct serial port is selected in the software.

 Modems response: the modem responds with “+CREG: followed by two parameters, comma

separated.

o The desired response is “+CREG: 0,1” or “+CREG: 0,5”. o Parameter 1

 0: disable network registration unsolicited result code  1: enable network registration unsolicited result code  2: enable network registration and location information unsolicited result code

To verify that the PT-101 has established a GPRS connection follow these steps.

displayed when the software is in Manual Mode.

 In the Query Commands section click on the “Verify GPRS Status” button.

 The modem will reply in the text box at the bottom of the software. If you do not get a reply from

the modem verify that has power (12V) and that the correct serial port is selected in the software.

 Modems response: the modem responds with “%CGREG: followed by two parameters, comma

separated.

o The desired response is “%CGREG: 0,1” or “%CGREG: 0,5”. o Parameter 1

 0: disable network registration unsolicited result code  1: enable network registration unsolicited result code +CGREG  2: enable network registration and location information unsolicited result code

+CGREG

o Parameter 2

o If the desired response is not received please discuss the programming of the SIM card

with your cellular service provider.

 If the desired response is received but there is still an issue then the GPRS Activation needs to be

verified.

o Click on the Verify GPRS Activation button in the Query Commands section. o The modem’s response will be “$NETIP:” followed by 3 IP Addresses. For example, the

modem should return something similar to this:

$NETIP: "166.214.220.151", "066.102.163.232", "066.209.010.202"

o If AT$NETIP returns all zeros, send the following command: AT$CGEER. This can be

done by typing the command into the “Command to send” field in the Other section on the Query Commands view. There are three common responses:

 $CGEER: no PDP reject cause (Everything should be working OK)  $CGEER: requested service option not subscribed (APN is incorrect or SIM has

not been enabled for data mode.)

 $CGEER: user authentication failed (username and/or password is incorrect.)

o If these three IP Addresses are not returned received please discuss the programming of

the SIM card with your cellular service provider. The information form the CGEER command may assist the carrier in determining the cause of the issue.

A1.3 Verifying the PT-101 has Acquired a GPS Satellite Fix

To verify that the PT-101 has established a acquired a GPS Satellite fix follow these steps. Please note that it does take a few minutes for the GPS receiver to acquire a fix the first time. After that it should acquire a fix fairly quickly.

 Is the antenna attached?  Does the antenna have a clear view of the sky? The PT-101 cannot establish a GPS fix if the

antenna is inside a building or if the sky is obscured by trees, buildings, tunnels, etc. It is also quite difficult for it to establish a fix if the antenna has only a partial view of the sky (i.e. it is near a window).

 In the DP1000S, Select Function section select Query Commands. This selection is only

displayed when the software is in Manual Mode.

 In the Query Commands section click on the “GPS?” button.

 The modem will reply in the text box at the bottom of the software. If you do not get a reply from

the modem verify that has power (12V) and that the correct serial port is selected in the software.

 Modems response: the modem responds with a series of sentences that are produced by the

internal GPS receiver. Of particular interest is the “$GPRMC” sentence which should be the next to last sentence that is produced.

o “$GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53” is a sample of an invalid sentence. o “$GPRMC,042159.00,A,2835.1039,N,08118.3645,W,000.0,000.0,090407,03.7,W,A*03”

is a sample of a valid sentence.

o For information on the “GPRMC” sentence please search the internet. Entering “GPRMC

Sentence”, without the quotes, into your favorite search engine will return the desired results.
