5.2.3 Setting Up New probe
Follow these instructions when setting up a new probe:
1) Connect the probe to power and by USB to a PC running hyperterminal or other Comms software
2) Get the IMEI number of the probe by typing the command: AT+CGSN into hyperterminal
3) Enter the probe details onto the server, including the IMEI number and the GSM number
4) Enter these commands into hyperterminal:
If using an Orange SIM card:
AT^SJOTAP=,"http://www.rsi-aries.com/upgrades/index/aries.jad","a:",,,"gprs","orangeinter
net","user","pass",,"http://www.rsi-aries.com/upgrades/info"
Or if using an O2 SIM card:
AT^SJOTAP=,"http://www.rsi-aries.com/upgrades/index/aries.jad","a:",,,"gprs","mobile.o2.c
o.uk","mobileweb","password",,"http://www.rsi-aries.com/upgrades/info"
5) Enter the command:
AT^SJOTAP
And then close down hyperterminal. Monitor the upgrade progress on the Aries web page.
This instructs the probe to obtain the current software from the Aries server. When it is finished the
USB device on the PC will disappear for 2 seconds and then reappear.
6) Re-start hyperterminal and enter the command:
AT^SJRA=a:/aries.jar
This starts the software running on the probe. The correct operation of the probe can now be
monitored using hyperterminal.
5.2.4 Logging
Connect the probe to power and by USB to a PC running hyperterminal or other Comms software.
The probe will produce a continuous log of the activity which can be used for debug purposes. As part of
this log, a debug string is produced every 2secs with the following format:
e.g.:
p0|c1|b4.173|g1|r1|c0|s0|rl50|tl14|sl0|bl18|hl23|fl197|cl55|gl6|sl119
where:
p -- packets count in memory
c -- charger connected
b -- battery voltage
g -- GSM state
r -- GPRS state
c -- clear to send
s -- suppress_GPRS
pl -- gps_thread_lock_time
rl -- gprs_state_thread_lock_time
tl -- tetra_thread_lock_time
sl -- status_led_thread_lock_time
bl -- battery_state_thread_lock_time
hl -- packet_send_thread_lock_time
fl -- packet_save_thread_lock_time
cl -- confirm_settings_thread_lock_time
gl -- get_new_settings_thread_lock_time
sl -- get_new_SMS_thread_lock_time
GSM State may be:
0 – not registered
1 – registered with home network
