Basic first startup and testing

The AVL has been designed to make installation, testing and configuration simple. For vehicle
installation and testing for correct working after installation we recommend the installer to use a Notebook or
PDA with serial port and serial communication software installed.
On a windows based computer you will be able to use ‘Hyperterminal’ (free with Windows). For PDA or
Pocket PC you can use several communication programs that can be downloaded from the internet like
‘ZTERM for Pocket PC’ (http://www.coolstf.com/ztermppc).

Before the unit is installed, we recommend configuring the unit functions and setup using the AVL setup
configuration program. The AVL has many functions that will allow the unit to operate for different
user applications including security and fleet management.

Getting started, use Hyper Terminal to test AVL

Step 1

Connect AVL with your PC using com port
To test the AVL after installation the External Serial Port Connector (standard 9 pin
serial plug -DB9) of the unit should be connected either directly or via an extension
cable to the serial port of a PC running Windows.

Step 2

Using Hyper Terminal
The PC will need to be running HYPERTERMINAL, which is a free program that
comes with Windows.
If HyperTerminal is not currently installed on the PC you will need to do the following:

1. Go to Start/Settings/Control Panel.

2. Go to Add/Remove Programs/Windows Setup Tab. This will bring up a list of
components that can be installed.

3. Put a tick in the Communications Check box and double click. This will bring up a
list of components that can be installed. Put a tick in the box next to HyperTerminal.
You may need to insert your Windows Disk to install the program.

4. You may need to restart your computer after the program has installed.

5. Remember to connect the serial port on the unit to the serial port on the PC.
Once HyperTerminal is installed and running you will need to set the Baud Rate to

9600 Baud and set the Com Port (usually Com 1 on a laptop).
We strongly recommend that the unit be tested using a computer as this allows all
options to be tested quickly and easily. The operating system/or a new or modified
operating system can only be uploaded (in x-modem format) if the unit is connected
to a serial port on a computer.

Step 3

Power up the unit. There are 2 leds above the RJ45 MULTI port connector. The green led
will be on or will start flashing after power on (GPS output status led). The yellow led will
flash when the unit is testing the GSM modem and if SIM card is installed. This led must
be off during normal working.

Once the unit is connected to the serial port and has been connected to the +12 volt
and Earth connections, the following screen will appear in HyperTerminal:

Modem information:

When you quit the ‘DIAGNOSTICS MAIN MENU:’ the tracking unit will report information about your GSM
modem:

Sample:

When the tracking unit is in normal operating mode the tracking unit requires the four-digit
password code (can be configured in the GPS Tracking configuration menu. Default is
‘1234') to return to Diagnostic mode after it receives the 'X' or 'x' command from
the serial port.
The password must be entered after the tracking unit sends the 'OK0' or 'OK1' command.
The correct password must be followed by <CR> (ENTER) to confirm password entered.
You must enter the correct password within 8 seconds or the tracking unit will return to
normal operating mode.
When in ‘Normal’ running mode the serial data communication between the GSM modem
and the CPU is directly send to the serial port. This allows the user to monitor or capture
the data.
Problems related to communication errors can also be easy detected.

- 10 -

Sample data that will be shown when connected to the serial port.

- 11 -

Configuration and setup :

When the tracking unit powers up it will enter the ‘Diagnostic menu’ first. If no key is pressed for 30 seconds
the unit will enter normal operating mode.
Please note : The ‘AVL-setup.exe’ program can only access the tracking unit if the unit is working in
normal operating mode.

Start up the file AVL-setup.exe

- 12 -

Select Com port

- 13 -

Upload configuration from AVL

After power up you must wait until the unit passes the Diagnostic test.
In Diagnostic test mode you cannot connect to the tracking unit and you
must wait at least 1+ munites before connecting.

In normal running mode (after diagnostic mode) the tracking unit may
also be busy in other processes and the unit will only response to the
configuration software after finishing the process.

Therefore, when upload or download configuration, it may need to wait
for few minutes especially the unit was setup for real time tracking
already.

The best timing to upload the configuration is right after quit from
diagnostic menu with hyper terminal.

*1 Minimum Sending time (using GPRS) is about 10 seconds. It will be longer when using SMS for Real

time tracking. Sending time for SMS and GPRS depends on your GSM network speed to confirm and
process SMS and GPRS data commands.

*2 When resend messages is enabled the data compression option ‘Remove comma, points and other

exclamation from GPRS data’ cannot be enabled at the same time.

Please note that the tracking unit has 2 different GEO fencing modes.

For less confusion the ‘GEO’ fencing activated by GEO fencing input (or by SMS/GPS command
message - 21) will be called ‘PARK’ function.

1. The first PARK fencing mode is enabled when the ‘PARK fencing input’ is activated. In this case the
PARK fencing LED will flash to indicate that PARK fencing is activated.
This PARK fencing mode can also be enabled by SMS message. In this case the PARK fencing
activation can only be deactivated by SMS message.

2. The second option allows to configure a rectangle GEO fenced area. The unit can be configured to
respond when a vehicle enters or leaves the GEO fenced area.

2. As an automatic reporting system when a vehicle enters and leaves a defined location.

- 18 -

GPS Location Table

Enter Latitude (dd.mmmm) and Longitude (ddd.mmmm) in NMEA format. The tracking unit will only compare
the Latitude and Longitude value to the current GPS location value. Location messages send by the AVL
are always displayed in NMEA format. So they can be used directly in the GPS location table without
conversion.

• For the first time when you install a new sim card the pin

number (if configured) must be set to “0000” or disabled. The
pin code can be changed later updated using the configuration
menu.

• MAKE SURE THE PIN NUMBER IS CORRECT BEFORE

INSTALLING SIM CARD. READ SETUP SIM PIN CODE
INSTRUCTIONS FIRST!
If the pin code is incorrect the sim card may get ‘blocked’.

Save/Resend missed location messages:

This option (when enabled) allows the tracking unit to save and resend up to 1700+ messages. Saving the
messages is done automatic when enabled. The complete location message information is saved and
resend when data can be send.

As example:

SMS tracking interval is configured to send location message every 1 minute. After sending data for 2
minutes the AVL enters location where there is NO GSM signal or no GSM provider for 25 minutes.
Then the AVL returns to location where there is GSM signal. During the time there was no GSM signal
the location data is automatic saved to memory. This also includes and activation messages (like Panic
button activated).

- 23 -

Up to 10 saved messages are send each time. After 10 messages are send the AVL will check for any
messages received or any other messages that need to be sent. This will also include ‘Real time tracking
messages’. The data is saved as last one in is first one out. The first data saved will be received last.
Up to 1700 messages can be saved. Once the memory is full no more messages will be saved until
messages can be send back.

If power is lost during saving or sending the AVL will automatic resend the messages from buffer again.

As example there are 100 messages saved in memory. After sending 54 messages input power and battery
power is lost. After power up message sending will resume from message 60 back to 1. The previous 6
messages (60-54) will be resend. The counter value is saved to memory after 10 messages are sent.

If the AVL enters another location where there is no GSM signal then sending will stop and saving will
automatic restart again. Any missed messages that where previous not send are also resend when the
AVL returns to location where there is GSM signal.

Every time the AVL makes a GPRS connection using TCP or UDP it needs to connect to the GSM server
and log in. The login time and connection time can be different between GSM providers. Some commands
connect within several seconds and some can take up to 1 minute to get respond code from GSM provider.
How more options you have selected in the configuration menu and the combination off options can also
make the time different between sending locations data.

When using TCP/IP the connection needs to be valid every time you send data. If your server is switched off
then there will be ‘time out’ before this is detected at the AVL.
This time is also different between GSM providers.
The part that is the slowest is when you are using TCP/IP and your own server fails. This has the longest
delay time between saving GPS locations as ‘time out’ can be very long. No option to speed up as our AVL
can only select GSM, GPS or serial port at one time.

Customer that use UDP have less delay problems, but when there server is down the AVL cannot detect
any failure and no data will be saved or resend. Only communication problems like No GSM signal or GPRS
cannot connect or is disconnected are detected. In that case locations as saved and resend.
When data is resend the sequence is always last one in is first one out. The last memory location can be
resend twice. This happens when sending fails during the time that message needs to be send. The AVL
cannot detect if the message has been send correctly at that time.
There will always be time difference between resend messages at the GPRS connection time is different
every time you connect to GSM provider. Different connection time make different saving time.

I-Button or odometer is also saved and automatic resend in the location message.

Please Note:

If you are using TCP/IP or if the AVL enters locations where there is GSM signal and the SIM cards
registered, but there is no GPRS service available or your TCP/IP server is not working the time between
locations saved can be different from the one you have selected.
If there is no GPRS service available or your TCP/IP server is not working the AVL will reset the GSM
modem between the sending sessions. This means that the time between locations saved will be between 4­5 minutes.

Installing SIM card with different PIN NUMBER then 0000 or None:

The default configuration after operating system upload or when you receive the AVL for the first time
is NO SIM PIN number or SIM PIN number is 0000 (4 * zero). If you cannot remove SIM PIN number make
sure that your SIM PIN is configured for 0000.

The AVL will first test if SIM PIN number is required. If the SIM card requires PIN number then the AVL
will try to access the SIM card using the default pin number 0000 (4 * zero).

To change the SIM PIN number you must follow the following instructions.

1. First upload the current configuration from your AVL and set ‘SIM PIN CODE’ to none (empty).

2. Then download the settings to your AVL.

3. Power down the AVL and remove SIM card.

4. Use your normal mobile phone to change the SIM pin number.

5. Insert the SIM card back into the AVL and switch on the AVL.

6. Wait for about 1 minute before using the configuration menu program.

7. Upload the configuration from the AVL.

8. Set the PIN CODE to the new PIN code you have configured (using your mobile phone).

9. Download the configuration to the AVL.

10. DONE.

SMS commands accepted by the tracking unit:

The unit will only process SMS commands sent to the unit. If the unit is configured in SMS and GPRS mode
then any confirm, update or location message is sent back using GPRS.
The unit can read and sent any SMS messages without disconnection from the GPRS connection.

When sending SMS commands please make sure that the message has the correct data format. Some
commands may require a fixed length. We also suggest to only use 1 command change or update in every 1
SMS message.
