1. Introduction
GL100 is a powerful GPS locator which is designed for vehicle, pets and asserts tracking. With
superior receiving sensitivity, fast TTFF and GSM frequencies 850/900/1800/1900. Its location
can be real time or schedule tracked by backend server or specified terminals. Based on the
embedded @Track protocol, GL100 can communicate with the backend server through
GPRS/GSM network, and transfer reports of emergency, Geo-fencing, device status and scheduled
GPS position etc… Service provider is easy to setup their tracking platform based on the
functional @Track protocol.

4. GL100 Manager Setup Wizard
GL100 manager tool is PC software which can be used to configure GL100 through Data_Cable.
It is easy for the backend server developers to configure GL100 with manager tool, which has
friendly user interface. The correct command messages sent to GL100 will be displayed on the
manage tool.(These messages can also be sent by SMS or GPRS ).
The administrators can also use the manager tool to configure GL100 before selling. But it is
strongly recommended to establish a backend server and implement the way to control GL100 by
SMS or GPRS. Please refer to “GL100 @Track Air Interface Protocol” for detail.
Before using the manager tools please Find “PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v10518.zip” in
develop suit and install the drive for PL2303.After that a new COM port can be found in the PC
system, and then please follow the steps as below:
1. Power on GL100.
2. Connect GL100 to PC with Data_Cable.
3. Run “GL100 Manager Tool Vx.xx.exe”.
