5.3.2 Real-time GPS Tracking Application
AutoMonitor Tracker software allows vehicle owners to track their vehicle in real-time. The tracking
software acts as a server and monitors incoming TCP/IP connections from vehicle units. If a
vehicle unit or remote device is configured to remotely connect to the PC where tracking software
is running, the remote device will automatically try to establish connection with the PC at
configurable periodic times. Once the remote device is connected to the tracking software, the
software will plot the device onto a map and will show status information of the vehicle. More detail
on the connection settings is described in Section 0.
5.3.3 AutoMonitor Configuration
AutoMonitor configuration software allows various settings to be altered. The software requires a
sufficient degree of access level before it allows users to configure changes.
5.3.3.1 Authentication
AutoMonitor Calibrator software can be used with a valid workshop and company cards. When the
calibrator software is running in company mode (i.e. using a company card), the software will only
provide access to the configuration-related settings, while the calibration-related tools will not be
available. The calibrator software provides full access when operating in calibration mode (i.e.
using a workshop card).
When the calibrator software is first run, the software will prompt the user to select the
communication port to which the device is connected.

Once the login authentication is successful, the software will retrieve current settings and
operational mode.
