If you do not know the COM Port # the Tracking Unit will be connected to, use the Detect

feature to determine the COM Port.

To detect the COM Port:

1 Connect a Tracking Unit to the computer. Click a Tracking Unit listed below for instructions.

•

Shadow Tracker Jr., j2, Pro, or Performer

• Shadow Tracker Premier

2 From the menu, click Shadow Tracker > Set Communications Port.

3 In the Com Port Settings window, click the Detect button.

Shadow Tracker Professional will attempt to connect to the Tracking Unit. When the COM

Port has been detected, the message: Communication Port has been set! will be displayed and

the setting will automatically be saved.

If the connection is not achieved, you will receive a message explaining the reason and further

information on how to fix the problem.

The Set COM Port at low speed check box is left unchecked by default. This should be

changed only if there is a communication problem. Change this value only under instructions

of an ATTI Tech Support representative.

Adding a Tracking Unit to the Database

NOTE: The Shadow Tracker j2 model # ST-760 Tracking Unit is supported in the following

operating systems only: Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

Before you can begin downloading and processing GPS data collected with your Tracking Units,

each Unit must be validated to the Shadow Tracker Professional software. Validating a Tracking

Unit adds that Unit to your database. This enables the Shadow Tracker Professional software to

recognize your Unit and correctly classify the GPS data when downloaded.

Each Tracking Unit is equipped with an unchangeable serial number. When a Unit is added, or

validated, the Tracking Unit’s serial number is retrieved and added to your database. In a separate

process, the Tracking Unit must then be assigned to a Vehicle Record.
