2 SECURITY

IMPORTANT FOR THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR GSM-MODEM, READ

THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USE!

Your cellular engine FOX-LT is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever developed. With it, you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency services and others, wherever service is provided.

This chapter contains important information for the safe and reliable use of the

FOX-LT device. Please read this chapter carefully before starting to use the cellular engine FOX-LT.

2.1 General information

Your FOX-LT device utilizes the GSM/GPS standard for cellular technology. GSM is a newer radio frequency („RF“) technology than the current FM technology that has been used for radio communications for decades. The GSM standard has been established for use in the European community and elsewhere. Your FOX-LT is actually a low power radio transmitter and receiver. It sends out and receives radio frequency energy. When you use your modem, the cellular system handling your calls controls both the radio frequency and the power level of your cellular modem.

For the use of the acquired devices SIM cards are needed, which are not included in the scope of delivery of the device. The SIM cards can be acquired e.g. by specific providers. From the use of the SIM cards can result additional costs, which are to be borne by the purchaser (client) of the devices. The seller does not cover the extra costs for the use of the devices. The seller gives no recommendation for the use of specific SIM cards and does not liable also for the fact that the devices are usable with all available SIM cards. The seller also covers no other costs, that are needed for the application of the customer in connection with this device.

2.2 Exposure to RF energy

There has been some public concern about possible health effects of using a GSM modem. Although research on health effects from RF energy has focused for many years on the current RF technology, scientists have begun research regarding newer radio technologies, such as GSM. After existing research had been reviewed, and after compliance to all applicable safety standards had been tested, it has been concluded that the product is fit for use.

If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy, there are things you can do to minimize exposure. Obviously, limiting the duration of your calls will reduce your exposure to RF energy. In addition, you can reduce RF exposure by operating your cellular modem efficiently by following the guidelines below.

2.3 Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular devices in the area where you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your FOX-LT while driving, please pay full attention to driving, pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. When applications are prepared for mobile use, they should fulfil road-safety instructions of the current law!

2.4 Electronic devices

Most electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy may affect some malfunctioning or improperly shielded electronic equipment.

2.5 Vehicle electronic equipment

Check your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to determine if any on board electronic equipment is adequately shielded from RF energy.

2.6 Medical electronic equipment

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.

Turn your FOX-LT device OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the area instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using RF monitoring equipment.

2.7 Aircraft

Turn your FOX-LT OFF before boarding any aircraft. Use it on the ground only with crew permission. Do not use it in the air.

To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crewmember to use your modem while the plane is on the ground. To prevent interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations prohibit using your modem whilst airborne.

2.8 Children

Do not allow children to play with your FOX-LT device. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children could damage the modem or make calls that increase your modem bills.

2.9 Blasting areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a

blasting area” or in areas posted: „turn off two-way radio“. Construction crew often uses remote control RF devices to set off explosives.

2.10 Potentially explosive atmospheres

Turn your FOX-LT device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere.

It is rare, but your modems or their accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such as petrol stations; below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders.

Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives, in the compartment of your vehicle, which contains your modem or accessories.

Before using your modem in a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) ensure that the vehicle complies with the relevant fire and safety regulations of the country in which the vehicle is to be used.

System wakes up when the voltage on I/O1 (pin 4 used as analog input) exceeds the defined upper or lower threshold.

$PFAL,Sys.Device.Sleep= IGN+Ring+Timer =1:20:00

IMPORTANT:

The sleep and wake-up procedures are quite different depending on the selected sleep mode. Please keep in mind that the power saving with "Ring" parameter works properly only when PIN authentication has been done and the device is already registered in the GSM network. If you attempt to activate power saving while the device is not registered in the GSM network, the SIM card is not inserted or the PIN not correctly entered, the device responds error

"ring shutdown aborted due to bad GSM coverage" and the power saving does not take place. For more details, refer to the manual

"steppIII_FOX-LT_bolero_lt_PFAL_Configuration_Command_Set.pdf".

NOTE (This note is related to the battery-powered devices only): the internal battery of the FOX-LT must have enough power to safely wake up the device from a sleep mode. If the internal battery of the FOX-LT device does not have enough power, the device can not complete the wake up operation.

5.2 Determining the External Equipment Type

Before you connect the serial port pins on the aforementioned terminals (DCE units) to external equipment, you need to determine if the external hardware serial ports are configured as DTE or DCE.

FOX-LT is designed for use as a DCE device. Based on the aforementioned conventions for DCE-DTE connections, it communicates with the customer application (DTE) using the following signals:

6.1.2 Special pin description (Pins 4, 5, 6)

These pins have dual functions. All of them are controlled by the internal firmware of

FOX-LT. Therefore, the user must specify whether they will be as analog or digital pins.

This function is controlled by the command

PFAL,IO

0[1,2]

.Config.

If for example, you want to use

I/O1

as an analog pin, and the

I/O2

and I/O3 as digital, the command settings would look like this:

PFAL,IO

0

.Config=AI,2,11

PFAL,IO1.Config=DI,5,10

//0 = I/O1;

AI

= analog;

2

and

11

= min. and max. voltages for Low and High events.

//1 = I/O2; DI = digital; 5 and 10 = min. and max. voltages for Low and High events

If a pin from

I/O1

to

I/O3

is configured as a digital pin, then the pin must be assigned as an input or an output. if you want

I/O2

to be input and

I/O3

to be output, the command settings would look like the following:

PFAL,IO

1

.Config=DI,5,10

//1 = I/O2;

DI

= digital;

5

and

10

= min. and max. voltages for Low and High events.

PFAL,IO 6 .Set=high [low,hpulse,lpulse,cyclic]

//6 = I/O3;

high

= sets output to high.

Some examples how to use them are given in sections below.

When using an

I/O

as digital you must set it to high first (with PFAL command

$PFAL,IO4

[5,6]

.Set=high”

), otherwise 0V will be measured (and the device could be

damaged).

6.1.2.1

How to use them as analog inputs

Because these pins can operate either as digital or analog, they have to be configured and calibrated with PFAL commands before using them.

Analog voltages of up to 32.0V with a 10 bits resolution can be processed and remotely evaluated by a server application. A pull-up resistor to a constant input voltage allows for resistive transducers to ground, e.g. fuel sensor or thermistors.

To use these IOs as analog, the following command should be set to the device.

PFAL,IO

0[1,2]

.Config=AI,2,11

where 0, 1 and 2 are indices corresponding to IO1 (pin 4), IO2 (pin 5) and IO3 (pin 6) respectively. While the value 2 and 11 are min. and max. voltages that will be used to

generate Low and High events, respectively. Detailed information can be found in software manual

LT_bolero_lt_PFAL_Configuration_Command_Set.pdf“ .

steppIII_FOX-

Connection example 1 (for I/O1 and I/O2):

An analog input can be connected to a temperature sensor (a NTC resistor for instance). In the diagram below is used a fixed resistor from the input voltage to the I/O 2, and a variable resistor (Negative Temperature Coefficient - whose resistance or capacitance decreases when temperature increases

) to ground. It is possible to set a low temperature alarm and a high temperature alarm.

Passage through these thresholds will trigger an alarm. We recommend to use

SMS or TCP as alarm type with GPIOP protocol. The SMS can be received on a mobile phone, modem or any GSM device when changes are detected. The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) inside the unit has an input voltage range from 0 to 2.5 V. An application example is shown in figure below:

How to use these pins as digital Inputs (Pin 4, 5, 6)

These pins are high active when used as digital inputs, so you can set V

IN(LOW)

and

V

IN(HIGH)

to any levels within the range from +0 to +32.0 VDC. The High and Low levels can be set with PFAL command (e.g.

PFAL,IO

0[1,2]

.Config=DI,5,10 )

-

where 0, 1 and 2 are indices corresponding to IO1 (pin 4), IO2 (pin 5) and IO3 (pin 6) respectively. While the values 5 and 10 are min. and max. voltages that will be used to generate Low and

High events respectively. Detailed information can be found in software manual

steppIII_FOX-LT_bolero_lt_PFAL_Configuration_Command_Set.pdf“.

The figure below illustrates how these inputs can be used in practice. When the internal software detects input changes from High to Low or vice versa, a Falling or Rising edge

Event is respectively generated. Therefore, depending on the alarm type, the FOX-LT can react to the input changes and release different alarms such as sending out an

SMS, email message, TCP packet, opening a CSD connection or activating an output port. The alarm type is user-dependant.

How to use these pins as digital outputs (Pin 4, 5, 6)

The FOX-LT device supports three IOs which can be used either as input or output.

These outputs are open collectors. They can be directly connected via resistors (R) to

LEDs, Relays etc., which need no more than 100 mA @ up to + 32.0 V DC. The figures below show the schematic of possible output connections. To use and activate these outputs use the command

$PFAL,IO4

[5,6]

.Set=high

[low,hpulse,lpulse,cyclic]

for IO1, IO2 and IO3 respectively or you can configure an or more alarms that activate these outputs when specific events occur (e.g.

PFAL,Cnf.Set,AL0=IO.e8=redge:IO4.Set=cyclic,1000,2000

).

In order to evaluate this alarm, firstly send this configuration to the FOX-LT device and then trigger IGN-pin to High – as result the IO1 goes High for 1 sec and Low for 2 sec. To set IO1 to Low, just execute the command

PFAL,IO4.Set=Low.

For more details how to activate an output and how to configure an alarm, refer to the manual

steppIII_FOX-LT_bolero_lt_PFAL_Configuration_Command_Set.pdf“. Both figures below show the schematic connections of how to use this output.

Please note that, do not apply power directly to an output pin without having e.g. a resistor between them.

How to use IGN pin(pin 3)

The IGN-pin has two functions:

It wakes up the system FOX-LT from the IGN-sleep mode (when sleeping),

and can be used to monitor the vehicle ignition state, to report/store the

START and STOP of a trip by using the events IO.e8=redge and IO.e8=fedge for START and STOP respectively.

IGN-sleep mode is one of the eight supported energy-saving modes of operation in which all unnecessary components are shut down. Once the device is awakened by

IGN high signal, it returns to full functionality.

Note that, the FOX-LT device powers on automatically when external power is applied, and IGN pin provides an additional “wake up” function for the IGN-sleep mode when it is requested.

Using IGN pin you can configure the system to store a specific location or to deliver an alarm SMS or TCP packet if an unauthorised entry to start your vehicle is attempted. In such a case use the IGN generated event as a condition to start vehicle tracking .

NOTE: All FOX-LT devices that are shipped by the factory with an internal battery, are entered into the

IGN-sleep mode. Therefore, to wake them up just connect the IGN-line to the d.c.-power source.

Serial communication signals (RxA and TxA)

The FOX-LT device incorporates a full duplex serial channel which allows two devices to communicate directly with each other via the RS232 serial port. All supported variable baud rates are software-controlled. It is recommended to use the FOX-LT Evalboard in order to communicate with the FOX-LT device, as there you will find all you need to evaluate with it.

This serial channel (RxA, TxA) operates at V24, ±12 V level. The signals on these pins are obtained to RS232 compatible signal levels.

RxA This is the main receiving channel and is used to receive software commands to the board from any software (e.g.

HyperTerminal). Moreover, the firmware update can also be done through this serial port.

TxA

This is the main transmitting channel and is used to output navigation, measurement, response and system data to any software (e.g. HyperTerminal, FALCOM Workbench).

You may connect this port to a Bar code scanner and with the help of software configuration (using the serial event

Sys.eSerialData0

) you may process the incoming data from that scanner. Moreover, the incoming data on the serial line may be forwarded/sent via TCP to an internet server and there processed/stored into a database. Therefore, you have this data in real-time unimportant in which country they have been scanned. The interface type and port settings of the bar code scanner must be compatible with the FOX-LT one. More about how to implement such an application, refer to the application note

"AppNotes_connecting_a_bar_code_scanner_to a_STEPPII.pdf"

.

8.1 Schematics

The figure below illustrates a common schematic when you install your FOX-LT hardware in the vehicle and use it for vehicle security. For detailed information,

please, refer to the related documents [

AppNotes_in_vehicle_mounting.pdf

].

8.1.1 Installation guidance for 8-pin double row connector

On the top of the schematic you can find the corresponding pin out of the 8-pin double row connector.

When installing your FOX-LT in a vehicle, you will not only be able to track and locate the vehicle all the time, but also you will be automatically notified when disagreements with your loaded configuration into the FOX-LT device occur.

Depending on your application requirements, the software configured pins as digital outputs can be used to lock/unlock doors, to activate a relay, buzzer, turn on a lamp, etc. while the configured pins as digital inputs can individually be used e.g. to detect something in vehicle when opened or closed; changes on this input may trigger an output to high. The IGN line can be connected to the vehicle ignition key to monitor its ON/OFF position.

Note:

Turn car ignition off before making any connection. Use a common ground point for all ground wires. To avoid ground loops, isolate all ground pins of the FOX-LT unit from the vehicle body. Do not connect power from a different system to the FOX-LT.

Software configured outputs of the FOX-LT must operate at the same voltage level as the supply voltage +IN operates.

The operating voltage range MUST never be exceeded, device is not protected again continuous overvoltage. For security reason, it is recommended to integrate externally a 2A fuse link between the positive wire of the FOX-LT (+IN) and d.c. - power source.

The antenna should be mounted

in the dash or on the windshield of the vehicle with the GPS side facing the sky and the antenna has clear view to the sky.

Connect the power cable to the FOX-LT

- with the vehicle ignition off, and antenna connected, attach the power pins to FOX-LT (FIRST connect the

GND

pin and then the +IN pin).
