2. Configuration

I. Hardware and Software preparations

1. Remove the front panel of Easytrac and insert a SIM card with GPRS service

enabled. Lock the SIM card. (Caution: DO NOT remove the backup battery

from the Easytrac at anytime. Circuit short may occurred if the backup battery is removed)

2. Re-cover the front panel.

3. Connect GPS antenna to Easytrac.

4. Connect GSM antenna to Easytrac.

5. Use a RS-232 cable (DB-9) to connect Easytrac to a PC COM port.

6. Open Hyper Terminal (or other terminal program) at Windows Start Menu

All Programs\Accessories\Communications\Hyper Terminal.

7. Add a new connection, input name ‘Easytrac’. Click “OK” and select the

COM Port for the Easytrac connection.

8. Set the Baud rate as 38,400bps and Flow control as none. Press “OK”.

9. Connect the V-16 cable to Easytrac.

10. Connect the V-16 cable power plug to the AC adapter and press the ‘ESC’

key of the PC within 3 second after AC adapter POWER ON and until the text messages show on the Hyper Terminal screen. In doing so, Easytrac boots on Configuration Mode.

11. Normally, the PWR LED is ON and the RF LED flashing constantly

which means the Easytrac is POWER ON and running. It shows as the following on the Hyper Terminal.

III. Running on normal mode

1. Easytrac reboots on normal mode. Normally, PWR LED is ON and the

RF LED flashing constantly which means the Easytrac is POWER ON and running. About 30 sec later, GSM LED starts flashing then keeps ON which means GPRS session Online. Also GPS LED starts flashing for

searching GPS signal then keeps ON which means GPS fixed.

PWR GSM

ON ON

RF GPS

Flash ON

2. Note: Before running Easytrac on normal mode. A Gateway Server which

runs the tcpserver.exe with a public IP address must be ready. The tcpserver.exe is basically a TCP socket listener which building the socket sessions with multiple trackers via TCP/IP over GPRS and internet. Please refer to About TcpServer.txt , About Demo.txt and ORION gateway server

API.pdf for more information. To verify your Gateway Server working well,

you may use AVL simulator program to send simulated SYNC packets and GPS data to the Gateway Server. Please refer to AVL Simulator Manual.pdf for more information.

3. If the Gateway Server is not ready, the GSM LED will keep flashing.

4. If the Easytrac and the Gateway Server are working well. It shows as the

following on the Hyper Terminal.

6. To parse the GPS data string, please refer to the command 2.1

ActGPRSTrack of ORION Protocol.pdf.

7. If the Easytac can not connect to the Gateway Server and send GPS data,

please recheck the settings. Otherwise please send an email to

support@oriontech.com.tw

for technical support.

IV. Test protocol commands via RS-232 connection

1. You may test commands of ORION Protocol.pdf by RS-232 connection

instead of GPRS connection. Type ‘H’ to enter Debug Mode Command Menu. Type the protocol commands after the prompt and check the tracker responses. Please refer to ORION Protocol.pdf for more command details.

V. Get the system logs via RS-232 connection for advanced debugging

1. The GPS tracker behaviors may be various in different areas because of the

GSM coverage and GPRS service settings. If the GPRS connection of a tracker is not stable, you may retrieve the system logs from the tracker to verify them and figure out the reason causing the problems. Type ‘H’ to enter Debug Mode Command Menu. Type ‘LOG’ after the prompt to retrieve the system logs and check the system logs with ORION’s engineers. This feature helps us to fine tune the firmware to improve the tracker’s performance in different countries. For more information, please contact
