I. BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Container Tracking System utilizes the GPS and GPRS functions in one unit. You can
monitor the container or the vehicle location and set the system remotely. In addition,
the unit will send event report if any trigger occurs.
The standard report sent by the unit includes the information: (1) unit’s ID, (2) status,
(3) time, (4) GPS’s latitude and longitude, (5) speed, (6) direction, (7) battery level,
(8)device’s status, (9) event number, and (10) report configuration parameters.
The reporting mode can be categorized as ‘normal’ mode, and ‘power saving’ mode. In
normal mode, the GPS will always be activated while moving, and it can be shut off the
GPS when stop (for power saving purpose). To enable the maximum power saving,
user can choose “power saving mode”. In this mode, the GPS will be activated only
when there is a report to send while moving. The report parameters can be set from the
PC setup program. CTS100 can be set to go in sleep mode (while not moving); the
system will cut the power of GPS module in order to save power. With build-in 3-D
acceleration sensor, CTS100 can select related reporting modes with respect to it is
moving or not.
The device has built-in 4 circular, 5 rectangular and 20 point Geo-fence; it will send the
report to the server if the Geo-fence event is triggered.
The UNIT must be initialized by PC setup program in order to make communication
with the remote server /call center. There are four main sections that allow users to
program the device, (1) User detail (Device ID, server IP, and port, GPRS APN….) (2)
Geo-fence (4 circular, 5 rectangular and 20 point Geo-fence) (3) Report (Time,
Distance, speed, Low battery …) (4)Trigger report(Tamper, Door)
When there is no GPRS service or the server close. The unit will send short message to
the preset number. The max number of SMS message (monthly usage) and the
monthly renew date can be set from the pc setup program or the remote setup
program. Only 1 SMS number can be set. The reports sent via the SMS will be out again
via GPRS after a valid GPRS connection is made.
CTS100 can be configured by the PC setup program or the Over-the-Air (OTA)
commands / or remote program. The unit can communicate with the server via UDP or
TCP protocol. The protocol can be selected from the PC-setup program or remote
server commands.
Flash memory for recording reports up to 900 reports. It can be read out from the PC
setup program via serial port.
Using built-in real time clock to identify the report time, when GPS signal is lost. Hence,
if the report is received with “LAST KNOWN” message, the time in the report will be the
real time clock, but the GPS position will be the last known valid GPS position.
Three LED indicate the status of the system:
