IV. Product Installation:

‐ Remove the cover by gently sliding backwards from the device itself.

‐ Insert SIM card into the card holder.

‐ Secure the cover back to its original position.

‐ Since the GPS module is still being fine tuned, there may be position fix

issues if the device is plugged directly onto the OBDII port and hidden within the vehicle. It is recommended to use the Y cable included to test the device for more exposure to open sky, once the device is plugged into the vehicle through Y cable, the device should power up immediately.

V. Basic Configuration

‐ Basic configuration of the device can be done by using the Orion protocol

command $SetCFG via SMS by a mobile device. The command syntax is as follows:

$SetCFG,<seq>,<pw>,<APN>,<GPRS username>,<GPRS password>,<server IP>,<server port>,<GPRS enable>,<GPRS report interval>,<GPRS data mode>,<power control>&

‐ Example of the $SetCFG command would be:

$SetCFG,1234,0000,internet,,,211.79.38.93,9996,YES,START,30,0,0&

‐ Once device configuration setup is complete, send another command

$ATR to the device in order to search and reset the device for the vehicle’s

OBDII protocol. The command syntax is as follows:

$ATR,<seq>,<pw>,<Initial Mileage>&

‐ Example of the $ATR command would be:

$ATR,1234,0000,1000& Note: 1000 is an example value of initial mileage. Once entered, the total

mileage counter shown in the event reports will start incrementing from 1000.

Important: The return message for the $ATR command must display

“DONE” (after an initial return of “OK” for receiving the command). If the message returns “MIL” or “FAIL”, they both indicate failure to input the vehicle protocol or mileage value. The ATR return message can take up to 5 minutes to report back depending on the vehicle protocol search, do not send $ATR again consecutively during this period of search process.

Example of $ATR return messages:

$ATR,1234,DONE,020101000432& -> ATR command input is successful $ATR,1234,MIL,020101000432& -> Previous input is not reset $ATR,1234,FAIL,020101000432& -> ATR command input failed

‐ Use the command $Actgetpos,1234,0000& to double check if the mileage

value has been properly entered. The mileage value within the returned

LGPS message must be correct in order to deem the ATR configuration

successful. Note: $ActGetPos return message will display not only the mileage value but

also the speed, RPM, and coolant temperature as well. Make sure all the OBD values are correct when the vehicle is stationary before allowing the vehicle to begin its trip.

Example of $LGPS return message:

$LGPS,120,261011092752,A,12131.0365,E,2502.9594,N,7,27,216,37.0,100

0.0,6308,79C,8,0,111026092753&

1000.0 = Mileage input 6308 = RPM 79C = Coolant temperature value

‐ Once all the configuration steps are completed, OBDtrac Dongle will begin

tracking and sending position event reports along with the predefined

OBDII information.

2. Configuration by Hyper Terminal

I. Hardware and Software preparation

1. Insert SIM card. Use the configuration RS-232 cable (DB-9) to connect OBDtrac Dongle to a PC COM port.

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

All Programs\Accessories\Communications\Hyper Terminal.

3. Add a new connection, enter a name as desired. Click “OK” and select the COM Port for the OBDtrac connection.

4. Set the Baud rate as 115200 bps and Flow control as none. Press “OK”.

5. Connect the 10pin cable to OBDtrac.

6. Connect the 10pin cable power-plug to the AC adapter and press the

‘ESC’ key of the PC keyboard within 3 second after the tracker is powered on and starts showing text messages on the Hyper Terminal screen (The tracker itself may need to be slightly shaken to power up if the tracker is originally set to vibration power control mode). In doing so, OBDtrac will enter ‘Debug Mode’ (Configuration Mode).
