Configuration
Active Track Basic+ should be properly configured before the first use.
The configuration
can be carried out in two ways:
remotely - using SMS commands containing data required for establishing connection
with the monitoring system receiver (see chapter 7.2.4.2) or using a GPRS connection,
locally - using
GPRS transmitters configurator
program establishing connection
with the device through an appropriate RS232 cable (see chapter 7.2.4.1).
Local configuration and configuration using a GPRS connection permits access to all
programmable parameters of the device. When using a GPRS connection (e.g. when a
suitable programming cable is not available), the device should first connect with the
monitoring system receiver using the first method (SMS configuration).
