PixController.prc software manual for the

Palm Treo 600, 650, 680, and 700p Cellular Smart Phones

Introduction:

The PixController.prc software is a very powerful application which installs on your Palm Treo Smart Phone, and

is triggered by your CellularEye controller upon a motion event. This software interface looks similar to the

commonly used PC email program Outlook Express. Within the PixController software you will setup your POP3

protocol, Outgoing SMTP, and Incoming POP servers. All of the necessary service provider POP3 setting

information is located at the end of this manual.

The PixController.prc software application includes a setting for multi-photo mode, which allows you to send

multiple photos for each motion trigger event. There is also an advance scheduler setting which allows you to set

time constraints as to when photos are taken. This option is useful for security setups when you may not want to

take photos say between 7AM to 4PM Mon-Fri in a jobsite setting.

You may setup as many outgoing email addresses as you would like to send photos to. Within each email sent,

you have the option to create the subject of the email and add a text body message that may include items such

as the location of the CellularEye or GPS information.

Typical email transfer times are around 30 seconds to 1 minute from when the photo is taken upon a motion event

until it reaches your email server (depending on image size). However, poor signal strength and/or interruption to

your cellular transmission can greatly affect this time.

Image Settings To configure the Image Settings select the “Image Settings” option from the menu shown above.

Image Setting – Treo 600 The Image Setting for the Treo 600 will let you change the image compression ratio of the JPEG image. The more you compress the photo the greater the loss is in image clarity, but the faster the photo will transfer to your email server.

IX. Wireless Service Provider Information Service Provider SMTP and POP settings In most cases your cellular provider will setup the “Email” or “Versa Mail” application on your Treo phone at the store. From this application you can get your POP and SMTP settings you will need for the PixController.prc Palm application. In short POP stands for Post Office Protocol, a protocol used to retrieve e-mail from a mail server. Most e-mail applications (sometimes called an e-mail client) use the POP protocol.

Alltel CARRIER SMTP To configure PixController.prc to send email using the Alltel SMTP server, go to your Server Account settings (Accounts | Edit Accounts | Server). Enter the POP3 settings into the Incoming Server block as per your ISP's instructions, and enter the following for the Outgoing Mail Server: SMTP Server: mail.alltel.net Username: [leave blank] Password: [leave blank] T-Mobile (USA) CARRIER SMTP To configure PixController.

Verizon CARRIER SMTP Verizon sometimes assigns you a temporary password in certain circumstances. Some people have reported that they can suddenly, without changing anything, no longer send Email messages using Verizon's SMTP server. A possible cause for this is that the temporary password has expired. You should go to the www.vtext.com web site to attempt resetting the password. If that fails, then you will need to contact Verizon support directly.
PAGE 19
Relaying Denied Errors I get relaying denied errors whenever I try to send mail. What's wrong? To send email, just like your desktop email client, PixController talks to a SMTP server. A SMTP server’s sole function is to relay your messages on to their intended recipients. The SMTP server that PixController attempts to use is the one you configure in the Server section of your account settings. On a desktop you typically connect to your ISP and then use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages.

X. Sending CellularEye photos to your “other” cellular phone It is possible to send photos from your CellularEye to your personal/work cellular phone. Your personal/work cellular phone must be configured to receive photos, which may or may not be an extra expense. Please check with your cellular provider. First you need to put in the email address of your personal/work cellular phone in the “To:” line in the PixController.prc application.
