Appearance 4. Installation For general use, insert a SIM card to the device, plug the cable, and install the device in the vehicle. 1) Inserting the SIM card Insert the SIM card if you use dial-up to access the Internet.
2) Installing the device Use bolts to mount VT320 onto the vehicle. It is recommended to install it under the front windshield to ensure stable GPS signal receiving and easy connection to the OBD-II diagnosis interface of the vehicle. 3) Connecting the cable Three types of cables are provided for different scenarios. Their connection methods are as follows: 1. 26-pin all-in-one test cable: Suitable for indoor testing, and a 9-48 V adapter is required.
Procedure: (1) Connect the 26-pin socket at the P1 end to the VT320 interface. (2) Connect CONN-X-V- and CONN-X-V+ at the P2 bare wire end to the negative pole and positive pole of the power adapter respectively. (3) Connect CONN-RS232-RX1, CONN-RS232-TX1 and GND (any) of the cable to TXD, RXD and GND holes of DB9. Then use USB to DB9 data cable to connect to the computer. 2. OBD-II 7-pin all-in-one test cable: Suitable for heavy trucks with the OBD-II diagnosis interface.
Procedure: (1) Connect the 26-pin socket of the P1 end to the VT320 interface. (2) Connect P2 to the OBD-II diagnosis interface of the vehicle. (3) To check whether the vehicle has started, connect P3 to the ignition switch of the vehicle. 3. OBD-II 26-pin all-in-one test cable: Suitable for heavy trucks with the OBD-II diagnosis interface. VT320 is powered by the diagnosis interface, so you need to start the vehicle before using it.
4) Connecting the I/O interface The I/O interface is integrated in the 26-pin vehicle-mounted interface and provides three digital output channels with a maximum current of 300 mA, four digital input channels, one analog input channel, one 1Wire channel, one RS232 serial port, and one ignition signal channel. Here are some examples of I/O interface connection.
1. RS232 serial port: The RS232 serial port is used for debugging. Before using it, connect the RS232_RX, RS232_TX, and GND terminals of VT320 to the TXD, RXD, and GND terminals of the DB-9 serial port connector respectively, and then use an RS232-to-USB adaptation cable to connect to the DB-9 serial port connector. 2. Digital input (DI for short): DI can detect the switch status, for example, whether the button is pressed down and whether the switch is in the ON or OFF position.
3. Digital output (DO for short): DO can output DC voltage. DO is open-drain output and supports up to 300 mA of current. It is generally used with a relay. 4. Analog input (AI for short): AI can detect DC voltage, so you can input analog voltage values. The following figure shows the external circuit when AI is used: 5. 1-Wire: 1-Wire is generally used with small communication devices, such as digital thermometers and iButton devices.
1) GNSS indicator Indicator Status Function Status Off The device is not started, or GNSS is disabled. Quick blinking at 0.5 Hz GNSS timing is successful. Slow blinking at 1 Hz GNSS is enabled. Remains on Positioning is successful. 2) Cellular indicator Indicator Status Function Status Off The device is not started, or dial-up is disabled. Quick blinking at 0.5 Hz Dial-up is successful. Slow blinking at 1 Hz Dial-up is enabled.
6. Using the Configuration Tool (1) Downloading the Configuration Tool Visit the official website and select VT310 Vehicle Tracking Gateway from the IoT products. Download the configuration tool installation package under Documentation. Select a path to complete the installation. (2) Recording the COM Port Number Power on the VT320 by using a 26-pin all-in-one testing cable with an external adapter.
Double-click to open the VT320 configuration tool. Click Connect. In the dialog box that is displayed, enter the user name and password, select the serial port recorded in the previous step, set the baud rate, and click Connect. The default user name, password, and baud rate are admin, 123456, and 115200, respectively. Figure 3-3 shows the configuration page. Figure 3-3 You can also connect the VT320 through Bluetooth 4.2 or higher. Click Connect.
