: Once the device is connected to TCP server, the green LED (IO12) goes ON and when it is 

disconnects from that server but it still has a valid GSM operator, the green LED (IO12) will blink slower 

than when it detaches from GPRS services. 

Configuration 

parameters 

$PFAL,CNF.Set,DEVICE.BAT.CHARGEMODE=eco 

Starts charging if the voltage of the internal battery drops to less than 3.9V and terminates charging 

when the battery is full-charged. 

$PFAL,CNF.Set,DEVICE.BAT.MODE=auto 

Automatically switching between external power and internal battery power source depending on the 

power source currently available. External DC power supply has priority, if it is higher than 8 V. 

$PFAL,CNF.Set,DEVICE.COMM.SERIAL0=cmd,7F 

The serial port 0 is set into the command operation mode with protocols and events output enabled. 

$PFAL,CNF.Set,DEVICE.COMM.TCP.CLIENT=cmd,60 

The serial port 0 is set into the command operation mode without protocols and events output enabled 

$PFAL,CNF.Set,DEVICE.GPS.AUTOCORRECT=on,5.0,58,50,10,50 

Enables filtering of GPS auto correction to calculate a valid GPS fix using maximal allowed PDO of 5.0, 

maximal speed limit of 58 m/s

maximal allowed distance error of 50, drop count incorrect position of 10 

and maximal acceleration of 50 m/s. 

$PFAL,CNF.Set,DEVICE.GPS.CFG=4 

At least 4 satellites must be in use to consider a GPS fix as valid. 

$PFAL,CNF.Set,DEVICE.GPS.HEADING=25 

Heading tolerance is set to 25 degrees. Each time this angle is exceeded, the event 

GPS.Nav.eChangeHeading 

occurs, and the driving direction resets to zero. 

$PFAL,CNF.Set,DEVICE.GPS.TIMEOUT=1,30 

Restarts the GPS receiver to do a new search for visible GPS satellites, if within this time no valid fix is 

available. 

$PFAL,CNF.Set,DEVICE.NAME=FOX3 

Device name is defined to FOX3 

$PFAL,CNF.Set,DEVICE.PFAL.SEND.FORMAT="$",CKSUM,"","$<end>" 

The syntax of the PFAL messages is defined to start each line with the character ‘$’, followed by the user 

text and terminated by a NMEA compatible checksum and <CRLF>. The complete message(s) end(s) with 

$<end>. These settings can be changed based on your server requirements. 

$PFAL,CNF.Set,PPP.PASSWORD=blau 

Required string (password) for the Chap and Pap authentication methods over PPPP to attach the device 

into the GPRS network. This setting is provider-dependant. 

$PFAL,CNF.Set,PPP.USERNAME=blau 

Required string (username) for the Chap and Pap authentication methods over PPPP to attach the device 

into the GPRS network. This setting is provider-dependant. 

$PFAL,CNF.Set,GPRS.APN=Public4.m2minternet.com 

APN (Access Point Name) name that your network operator has provided to you to connect the device to 

the GPRS/Internet. This setting is operator or provider dependant.
