For detailed information about the MT 2500 inputs and outputs, see the 16-Pin IO Connector section of this manual.

2.9 Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)

The ADC voltage ranges are 0 to 16 volts and 0 to 32 volts.

2.9.1 ADC Scaling

The ADCs have 10 bit resolution.

The scale range of the AT$IOADC command is 0 to 1023.

This results in a value of 0.0156V per bit for the 0 to 16 volt ADC and a value of 0.03125V per bit for the 0 to 32 volt ADC.

- 5 -

The ADC resistor divider is +/- 1%.

For uses requiring precise values, Enfora recommends that the user calibrate to a known voltage. As there may be some drift over time or due to temperature, periodic recalibration is also recommended for those applications.

3 Hardware Features

3.1 Opening the Device

It is highly recommended that you use the Metal Lever (Enfora part number GPS0309MG299) when opening the MT 2500 in order to prevent damaging the device.

To open the MT 2500, follow the following steps:

1. Insert the curved foot of the Metal Lever into the gap between the lid and the body next to the retainer snaps as shown below.

Figure: 5  - Opening the MT 2500 Case

2. Gently apply pressure upwards on the lever until the lid unsnaps.

Figure: 6  - MT 2500 With Cover Unsnapped

- 7 -

3. Carefully slide the cover off the device.

3.2 Closing the Device

Replace the MT 2500 cover by using the following steps:

1. Place the MT 2500 cover onto the base as shown in the following figure.

Figure: 7  - MT 2500 Cover Replacement

2. Carefully slide the lid so that it snaps in place.

3.3 SIM Card Access

The MT 2500 includes an onboard SIM carrier. There is no external access to the SIM.

- 8 -

Figure: 8  - MT-2500 Internals

3.4 Power

The MT 2500 requires 9-16 VDC minimum 2 amps input power. Pin 11 on the 16-Pin IO connector is the power input and pin 6 is ground.

An inline power fuse has been added to the HW revision B of the product. Refer to the device label for the hardware version.

3.5 Power Consumption

Typical Power Consumption for the MT 2500:

• +12V, Sleep=2, GPS on, GSM idle, DRX5* = ~70 mAmps

• +12V, Sleep=2, GPS off, GSM idle, DRX5* = ~38 mAmps

• +12V, Sleep=4, GPS on, GSM idle, DRX5* = ~48 mAmps

- 9 -

• +12V, Sleep=4, GPS off, GSM idle, DRX5* = ~16 mAmps

Discontinuous Reception (DRX) refers to the setting of the GSM paging interval. This is normally sent from the network to the mobile terminal. The units are in 51multiframes, which are 235 msec each. So a setting of DRX 5 indicates that the paging interval is 5 * 235 msec or 1.175 sec. This allows the mobile to reduce the power consumption between the paging and 'wake up' at the correct time to receive the network paging signals.

5 Installation

5.1 Inserting the SIM

Insert the SIM per the following procedure:

Note: The SIM card is not provided with the MT 2500 device. The SIM must be obtained from the GSM/GPRS service provider and must be provisioned by the operator for data. Always take care to protect the SIM.  Without the SIM installed, the

MT 2500 modem is not able to communicate on the network.

1. Carefully remove the device cover to access the internal SIM holder.

2. Insert the SIM into the SIM holder of the MT 2500.

3. Replace the cover.

Figure: 14  - MT 2500 SIM Holder with SIM Installed (Lower Left)

5.2 Device Installation

The MT 2500 case includes molded anchor points for mounting as shown in the figure below. Additionally, the device must be mounted with the correct side facing skyward as shown in the figure below.

- 19 -

See "Device Installation" on page 19

Figure: 15  - MT 2500 Mounting Anchors and "Sky Side" Label

Power must be applied to the MT 2500 by moving the Battery Power Switch to the ON position before connecting any auxiliary I/O device. Failure to apply power to the MT

2500 before connecting auxiliary devices may result in damage to the attached I/O device.

The MT 2500 must be securely mounted to ensure proper accelerometer operation.

Mounting the device to cable runs or other structures that may allow the device's orientation to shift may cause inaccurate results to be reported by the accelerometer.

5.3 Device Orientation

The device orientation is set with respect to the vehicle body by the AT$ACCORN command.

The orientation parameters are used to convert the accelerometer axes to the vehicle axes so that acceleration and deceleration along the vehicle centerline (front-to-back) can be measured separately from the side-to-side and up-and down accelerations.

Communications

Please refer to Enfora document ENF0001IN001 – USB Installation Guide for detailed instructions for installing USB drivers and connecting with the modem.

6.1.1 Configure the Device to Communicate with the Enfora Server

Note: In the following instructions, <CR> means using the Enter Key on the keyboard.

1. Connect and verify connectivity with the device.

a. Connect the PC connector to the device.

b. Type AT<CR>.  The device should respond with OK.

i. If you do not see the letters AT, send the following command to the device: ii. ATE1<CR> c. Type ATI<CR>.  The device should respond with Enfora, Inc.  If you get any different response,

you are not connected to the Enfora device. See Figure: 40 - "ATI Response"

- 42 -

Figure: 40  - ATI Response

2. Configure the device to communicate with the Enfora Test Server.

a. The following information will need to be obtained from the SIM provider. Please refer to

GSM0000AN019 – Network Configuration Worksheet.

i. APN ii. Username and password (If necessary.) b. Reset the device to factory defaults: i. To restore the device to factory defaults, send the following command: AT&F<CR> ii. To write current configuration to memory, send the following command: AT&W<CR> iii. To reset the device, send the following command: AT$RESET<CR> c. Configure the device to access the GPRS network.

i. To configure the device with the proper APN, send the following command:

AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”apn”<CR> (substitute the letters “APN” for the supplied APN.) ii. To configure the device with the proper username and password, (if necessary) send the following command: AT%CGPCO=1,”username,password”,0<CR> (substitute the correct username and password) iii. To configure the device to enable auto GPRS registration, send the following command:

AT$AREG=2<CR>

- 43 -

Note: When the device is reset, Windows will detect the detachment of the device and you may have to close and reopen the communication program to reestablish communications with the device.

Verify GSM status by sending the following command:

AT+CREG?<CR>

If everything is working, you should receive one of two responses:

+CREG: 0,1

(GSM registered to home network)

OR

+CREG: 0,5

(GSM registered roaming.)

Verify GPRS status by sending the following command: AT%CGREG?<CR>

If everything is working, you should receive one of two responses:

%CGREG: 0,1 

(GPRS registered to home network)

Or

%CGREG: 0,5

(GPRS registered roaming.)

See Figure: 41 - "Verify GPRS Status"

- 44 -

Figure: 41  - Verify GPRS Status

Verify GPRS activation by sending the following command: AT$NETIP?<CR>

If the response is non-zero, then everything is working.

See Figure: 42 - "Verify GPRS Activation"

- 45 -

Figure: 42  - Verify GPRS Activation

If AT$NETIP returns all zeros, send the following command: AT$CGEER<CR>

There are three common responses: l l l

$CGEER: no PDP reject cause (Everything should be working OK)

$CGEER: requested service option not subscribed (APN is incorrect or SIM has not been enabled for data mode.)

$CGEER: user authentication failed (username and/or password is incorrect.)

Configure the device to access the Enfora Server.

To configure the device for server interoperability, several things have to be addressed: l l l

Most GPRS configurations are Mobile Originate only. The mobile device must initiate a conversation with a remote server before the remote server can talk to the device.

IP addresses are dynamically assigned and can change.

Some IP addresses are NAT and are non-routable IP addresses.

These issues are addressed with the following configuration commands.

The examples will use the following information: l l l

Modem ID/name = “MT_Test”

Remote Server DNS address = apitest.enfora.com

Remote Server IP port = 1721

1. Give the device a unique name send the following command:

AT$MDMID=”MT_Test”

This command, combined with the wakeup message, will allow the server to associate a Public IP address with a specific device and create a window of opportunity where the server can send commands to the device See Figure: 4 - "Wakeup Command"

2. To talk with a specific server send the following command:

AT$FRIEND=1,1,”apitest.enfora.com”

3. To set the port number send the following command:

- 46 -

AT$UDPAPI=,1721

4. To Enable periodic messages (wakeup) to be sent to the server every 60 seconds send the following command:

AT$WAKEUP=1,1

See Figure: 43 - "Wakeup Command"

Figure: 43  - Wakeup Command

6.2 Verifying Server Connectivity

Note: For the following tests, Java Runtime must be installed on the computer.  (To install Java Runtime, please visit the Java website: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp)

- 47 -

1. Start Internet Explorer and enter the following URL: http://apitest.enfora.com/udpapp/

2. Enter the name used in the MDMID command in the box. Select Connect See Figure: 44 - "Verify

Server Connectivity"

Figure: 44  - Verify Server Connectivity

3. Select the tab with the device name. (In this diagram it is labeled "MT_Test") Within approximately

60 seconds the wakeup messages should be seen in the window See Figure: 45 - "Wakeup Messages"

- 48 -

Figure: 45  - Wakeup Messages

4. Enter the following command in the command/ data block:

ATI

5. Select Write

6. Verify that you see the device respond with Enfora, Inc. See Figure: 46 - "ATI Response" .  If so,

you have successfully configured the device to talk with the server.

- 49 -

Figure: 46  - ATI Response

6.3 Verify GPS Operation

Follow these directions to verify GPS Operation.

1. From the terminal window, send the following command: AT$GPSRD=10<CR>

2. The device should respond with a standard GPRMC message that looks similar to the following:

$GPRMC,221223.00,A,3301.5080,N,09642.3857,W,000.0,000.0,230805,05.9,E,A*19 l l l

A = OK

V = Warning

9 = Enfora Specific response that GPS solution is not valid and the last known GPS location is being substituted.

Here is an example of a GPRMC message without a GPS lock: $GPRMC,221553.30,V,,,,,,,,,,N*7C The same

7 Glossary

A

Analog

Analog refers to signals that can represent an infinite range of numbers, as opposed to digital which can only be distinct whole numbers. Analog data often comes from measurements, like a sine wave. The sound a modem makes over the phone is analog since it can be any of a number of different frequencies. The fixed-line networks usually transfer analog data and fax. The GSM networks are Digital.

ANSI

ANSI graphics is a set of cursor control codes which originated on the VT100 smart terminal. Many

BBS's use these codes to help improve the sending of characters to communications programs. It uses the escape character, followed by other characters, which allows movement of the cursor on the screen, a change of color, and more.

ASCII

American Standard Code of Information Interchange. It uses 7 bits to represent all uppercase and lowercase characters, as well as numbers, punctuation marks, and other characters. ASCII often uses 8 bits in the form of bytes and ignores the first bit.

ASCII transfer

When a text file is sent directly as it is, without any special codes.

Asynchronous Transmission

Transmission method in which the intervals between transmitted characters may be unequal of length. Transmission is controlled by start and stop bits at the beginning and end of each character.

This way, if there is line noise, the modem can find out right away where the next byte should start.

AT commands

AT is a contraction of attention, a command used to program SmartModems from Hayes Microcomputer Products. AT commands program a variety of modem hardware settings and were adopted by other modem manufacturers who wanted to market their wares with the coveted phrase Hayes-compatible. At one time, you couldn't call yourself an online aficionado if you didn't

- 52 -

know that ATL0 turned your modem speaker way down and ATM0 turned it off. Now the commands are usually hidden under a menu option in your communication software.

Auto Reliable

The ability of a modem to be able to communicate both with modems that do have error-control and/or data compression, and those that do not.

B

Bandwidth

The difference between the upper and lower limits of a band. A range of radio, audio, or other frequencies. Since it is so limited, a modem must carefully change data into sounds that "fit" within this range. Similar to frequency spectrum. Bandwidth of a voice channel is 3000Hz-300Hz which equals 2700Hz. Telephone lines have a bandwidth from 300 hertz to 3400 hertz.

Baud

A term referring to the speed at which modems communicate. Technically, it is the number of changes in an electronic signal per second. Since the number of changes used to be the same as the number of bits sent or received per second, bps and baud are often used interchangeably. However, there is a difference, which is very often confused. For example, many 1200bps modems were advertised as 1200 baud, even though they operate at 600 baud. They send out 2 bits 600 times a second, which means that it is 600 baud. However, since it is so often misunderstood, you can assume that when you see "baud" it means bits per second, unless it is stated otherwise. The term comes from the scientist J. M. E. Baudot.

BFT

Binary File Transfer

Bit

A Binary digIT. It is a number in base 2 (binary), which means that it can only be a 0 or a 1. It is used in the expres-sion `bits per second'.

Block size

When used with either error control or data compression protocols, refers to the number of characters to be sent at one time. If error control is used, the codes are sent immediately following this block. Typical block sizes are 64, 128, 192, or 256 characters. Small block sizes are better when the line quality is bad (such as for long distance calls), while large block sizes are better during good connections (such as for local calls).

- 53 -

bps

Bits Per Second. The transmission speed of most modems is measured in baud or bps. Bps is literally the number of bits sent by the modem every second.

byte

A group of 8 bits. It usually represents one character.

C

Carrier Detect

The information as to whether or not the modem senses a carrier, like a fixed-line dialling tone or a data/fax services enabled on a GSM subscription.

Carrier Detect Threshold

A way of measuring how well a modem can detect valid data over noisy phone lines. It is measured in negative dBm's (decibel-milliwatts). The bigger the number (the more negative) the better. For example,45 dBm is better than40 dBm.

CCITT

Consultative Committee International on Telephones and Telegraphy. Used to set standards for modems. Replaced by the ITU.

CDMA

Code Divison Multiple Access. A digital cellular technique invented by Qualcomm.

Cell

The receiver/transmitter a GSM phone connects to; the equivalent of the base station of a cordless phone. A cell can support a number of simultaneous calls.

Cell Broadcast

Cell Broadcast is designed for simultaneous delivery of messages to multiple users in a specified area.

Checksum

A number that represents a larger group of numbers in order to check for errors in data transmission. It is commonly used when downloading a program, as well as in error control protocols.

The checksum is the result of a mathematical equation, such as adding all the numbers in a block together.

- 54 -

CLIP

Caller Line ID Presentation. A code that is sent over the phone lines in some areas when a person makes a phone call. This code includes the phone number of the person making the call. Some modems are able to understand this signal, and let you know who is calling you before you answer the phone.

CLIR

Caller Line ID Restriction. The ability to block someone who you're calling from seeing your number.

CODEC

COmpressor/DECompressor, the chip inside every digital GSM cellphone that allows the cellphone to tranmsit voice data at high efficiency and speed across the GSM cellular network. The CODEC will trip redundant voice data like when neither party is talking allowing more effcient use of scarse bandwidth.

Compress

To make data take up less space. Archiving programs do this, which means that files will take less time to transfer with modems. Many modems now have the ability to automatically compress the information they send and receive.

CTS

Clear To Send. This is when the modem lets the other computer know that it can send information to the other computer.

D

Data Transmission rate

The speed at which data travels. For example, data may be sent at 115,200bps. Same as transmission rate, transmission speed, data rate.

dBm

Decibel refers to one milliwatt. This is used to measure certain levels, such as transmit level.

DCE

Data Circuit Terminating Equipment. Sets up and maintains a data connection link over a communications medium. For example, a modem.

- 55 -

Digital

A system using discrete numbers to represent data. In computer systems, these are the numbers 0 and 1 (for binary).
