3.2
Communicating
e-track
TM
and the
e-track Configuration Assistant
After installing
e-track
TM
’s
USB driver and
e-track Configuration As-
sistant
software, an assisted configuration/reading of the unit can be
done.
1. (optional *) Insert a SIM card on the SIM card holder located
on the back of the unit. For configuration purposes, this SIM
card DOES NOT NEED TO BE A VALID/ACTIVE SIM card,
see note below.
2. Connect
e-track
TM
to the computer using the USB cable pro-
vided.
3. Wait for the unit’s System LED (red) to become solid or starts
the normal charging blinking. If
e-track
TM
’s
battery is out of
charge, the System-LED stabilization may take from 5 to 10
minutes. If you don’t see any LED activity, the unit may be
in alarm-mode (OFF) or in LEDs-auto-off mode, you can press
the button to put the unit in normal mode.
4. Wait for Windows’ USB device-connection alert to be heard.
5. Open
e-track Configuration Assistant
located in Windows’ Start,
All programs, Digital Communication Technologies,
e-track Con-
figuration Assistant
.
6. Once the application opens, it will try to find the device. Wait
a few seconds for the software’s status message located on the
top-right corner to change from
NO COMMUNICATION
to
READY
. If
this does not occur after 15 seconds, try the
Scan
icon located at
the middle-top (the one with a magnifying glass
). Clicking
this button will force a rescan process. If after 30 seconds the
software is not able to communicate with the unit and the unit
shows a solid System LED (red), go to the
Trouble Shooting
subsection of the
Communicating with the unit
section on the
Operation
chapter.
.
* The unit can be configured or read without a SIM card. But,
without a SIM card, any time the USB cable is disconnected the
unit will power OFF. Also, connecting the USB cable again will
power ON the unit, but without a SIM card, a communication
process can not take place before 1 minute. So, for practical pur-
poses it is recommended to always insert a dummy (or valid) SIM
card while communicating locally (USB) with the unit. See the
Powering the unit
section on the
Operation
chapter.
