I . BRIEF INTRODUCTION
GPS GPRS Tracking and Alarm System utilize the GPS and car alarm functions in one unit. You can monitor
the vehicle location and control the car alarm remotely. In addition, the unit will send event report if any
trigger occurs. It has built-in 2 outputs and 5 inputs to perform essential alarm functions.
The standard report sent by the unit includes the information: (1) unit’s ID, (2) status, (3) time, (4) GPS’s
latitude and longitude, (5) speed, (6) direction, (7) report configuration parameters, and (8) event number.
The reporting mode can be categorized as ‘time’ report, ‘distance’ report, or ‘intelligent’ report. User can
choose the reporting mode and related parameters via the PC setup program or the remote server.
The device has built-in 9 Geofence and 1 Self Geofence sets in circular shape; it will send the report to the
server if the Geofence event is triggered.
The UNIT must be initialized by PORTMAN PC setup program in order to make communication with the
remote server /call center. There are four main sections that allow users to program the device, (1) User detail
(Device ID, server IP, and port, GPRS APN….) (2) Geofence (9 circular Geofence and 1 Self Geofence,) (3)
Report (Time, Distance, Intelligent mode, Low battery, Course change…) (4) ALARM Setup (to enable or
disable the event generated by the inputs, e.g. ACC…and set the conditions for sleep mode) Those data is
saved in device’s EEPROM and will not be lost even if the power is failure.
A unique Self-Geofence report: user can press the Self-Geofence button to turn On or Off the self-Geofence
function. The system will record the current position and use a pre-defined circular Geofence radius to guard
the vehicle. If the vehicle moves out of the Geofence zone, a report will be sent.
When there is no GPRS service or the server is offline, the unit will send SMS report to the SMS number if
defined. And the number of short message can be set from the pc setup program or remote setup program.
After connect the server, all the report will be sent out again.
The server can not only configure the device just like the PC setup program does, but it also can send the
command to control the device. The unit can communicate with the server via UDP, TCP or SMS protocol.
Flash memory for recording reports up to 900 reports. It can be read out from the PC setup program via serial
port.
User configurable sleep mode:
The unit will go to sleep mode when ACC off, this feature is configurable. “GPS” or “GPRS” can be selected
to power off. Also you can select both of them go to sleep mode. User can setup the automatically wakeup
time during the sleep mode to ensure the device is working. The system can send out a wakeup report to the
server after waking up.
During the sleep mode, if any of the inputs are triggered, the system will wake up and send relevant reports to
the server. The input triggers for waking the device up are selectable.
All the auto report (Time, Distance, Intelligent…) will not be send when ACC off.
