6. APPENDIX
6.1 How does the BOLERO40 Series firmware operate?
BOLERO45/41 device can be easily integrated into a variety of new applications. It contains an
independent-customized software that provides even greater performance and flexibility for its users and
system integrators to develop high-performance applications. The concept of the device is based on a
simple implementation for a wide range of applications with low costs and high flexibility. The software
enables you to configure, to track, control and monitor the BOLERO45/41 device via SMS, as well as allows
you set and poll the configuration remotely over Internet from the remote server. The software comprises
a set of word-like commands termed “PFAL”. Each of these causes the system BOLERO45/41 either to take
a particular action or to read or set a particular configuration. The software provides the basic configuration
settings needed when the system starts up and is used as starting points for the creation of user
applications. The development of user applications is based on the advanced event-handling features
provided by the operating software. The exact point at which you configure the BOLERO45/41 unit depends
on your application you want to develop. Events are triggered automatically at system run-time and
manually when the inputs change.
A part of events triggered at system run-time can be:

Geo-fence violations (in/out)

Changes to analog inputs (signal exceeds the range)

Over speed detection (exceeding the speed limits)

Specific distance reached (distance reached event)

Towing detection (park events)

Moving/acceleration detection and many other features.
A part of events triggered manually can be:

Changes on digital or analog inputs (car' door open/close events, ignition on/off events)
BOLERO45/41 executes actions in response to an event or state(s) or in any combination. BOLERO45/41 can
also execute direct actions immediately after the user sends a command (via SMS, TCP, RS-232) to the
device. When an event is triggered, the alarms related to that event are automatically sent either over GSM
(SMS, Data call) and/or via TCP, or internally used to switch On/Off something in remote e.g. activating a
Buzzer.
A part of alarms that can be executed can be:

Message generation (route verification arrival/departure notification via SMS/TCP)

Activation of outputs in a number of ways (activate a buzzer )

Data logging activation (stores the data inside the device

Handling of incoming messages of any type (Activation on SMS text type)

Vehicle doors Lock & Unlock

Vehicle engine starter Disable and Enable

Handling of Timers, Triggers and Counters, and many others
Above are listed just a few software features and for a full view of the set of events, states, alarms,
configurations and their functionalities refer to the Related Documents [1] .
