Overview

2 Overview

This PROMOTION-KIT provides all the necessary hardware, software, and documentation to easily and quickly evaluate the performance of your FOX3-2G/3G/4G device. The FOX32G/3G/4G device is shipped pre-configured allowing system integrators and developers to test the factory-preloaded configuration and see how the FOX3-2G/3G/4G device works. Once the device is powered up, it connects automatically to the Lantronix 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 factory-preloaded 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.
