4. Initialization / Programming mode (I)
4.1 Password (Security code)
A password is required to operate the Tracker properly and allow the tracker to accept the
SMS commands. The factory default password is
“
1234
”.
It is important to change the
password to one of your own choice (max 8 alpha-numeric characters).
Do not forget
your password
, because it can only be re-set again to the default by the factory. To
change this number the following command has to be sent via SMS:
Password-I-SEC-
new (
α
-numeric) security number
For example, if you want to change the password from the default “1234” to “4321”, then
you will have send the following SMS to the device:
1234-I-Sec-4321
A SMS will be sent to the caller ID to reconfirm the new setting
4.2 GPS DATA FORMAT
The default GPS data format is in Degrees minutes and seconds. Another format can be
selected, like a data format in Degrees decimal. To change the default setting the
following command string has to be sent via SMS:
Password-I-GPS-DMS
means Data in Degrees, minutes and seconds
Password-I-GPS-Google
means URL link for Google Maps
Password-I-GPS-Ddec
means Data in Degrees, decimal
Password-I-GPS-NMEA-
xxxxx
means a complete line of the NMEA data.
Available lines for
xxxxx
are:
GPGGA = Global position Fix data
GPRMC = Recommended minimum data sentence
GPGSA = Overall satellite status data.
A SMS will be sent to the caller ID to reconfirm the new setting
4.3 TRACKING MODE
In Tracking mode the tracker will send the GPS information every 3 minutes (Default
setting is T=0003) and will repeat this 20 times (R=020). Furthermore the time between
checking for new incoming SMS messages is 10 min (C=010). Track-Mode is normally
used, for example, in a chase situation when a car is stolen and continuous tracking of the
route is important. To enter new time
(T)
number of repeats
(R)
and SMS check time
(C)
the following command has to be sent:
Password-I-TRK-TxxxxRxxxCxxx
Example: 1234-I-TRK-T0003R020C010
A SMS will be sent to the caller ID to reconfirm the new setting.
NOTE
:
The time to check for new incoming SMS messages (C) applies when the unit is
operating from the internal battery only, and Power save mode is active, with no external
power connected to it. If connected to a car battery (for example), then the unit will be
permanently ready to receive a new incoming SMS message, thus the “C” time will not
apply.
Restrictions:
SMS checks C within the time T x R will only be carried out if T>2C
See NOTE at the end of this section for expanded information.
