BOLERO40 Series Promotion Kit Version 1.0.1
2. OVERVIEW
This PROMOTION-KIT provides all the necessary hardware, software, and documentation to easily and
quickly evaluate the performance of your BOLERO40 series device. The BOLERO40 series device in the
promotion kit is shipped pre-configured allowing system integrators and developers to test the factorypreloaded configuration and see how the BOLERO40 series device works. Once the device is powered up, it
connects automatically to the FALCOM D2Sphere server which supports two-way communication interface
between server and device and lets you track all activities of the device, pull and change the factorypreloaded device configuration. You don’t need anything else to get started with PROMOTION-KIT. Only an
internet enabled computer (PC client) with a pre-installed standard web browser is required. After you log
in to the D2Sphere server, the exact location and other information transmitted from the device will be
displayed on the map.
Please note that, FALCOM's vehicle telematics devices are shipped generally un-configured by default, so,
before the device is deployed in the field, the user must write its own PFAL script to configure the
functionality of the device and load it into the device with the help of the Workbench configuration tool.
How the PFAL script looks like can be read out from the device in the promotion kit using the Workbench
configuration tool.
