Xact Application User Manual 2. Overview The application is simple, consisting of only two windows: the main application window and the Configuration Editor. The application is a standard Windows executable, has no external dependencies (e.g., .Net, etc.), and should run on most configurations of Windows computers. Installation To install the application: 1. make sure the USB Windows Drivers are downloaded and installed (Sierra/Wavecom modem for the WMP100 Wireless Microprocessor); 2.

Xact Application User Manual This chapter describes the data fields and controls in the main application window. USB Serial Port Before communicating with the Xact Development Board or other Xact device, you need to set up the USB Serial Port; this panel lets you do just that. The window is opened with most of the contents disabled; once the port is selected and enabled, the window‘s remaining controls and fields are enabled.
Xact Application User Manual Firmware Here you can upload updated firmware to the device. Select the firmware binary (with a ―dwl‖ extension) by pressing the … button to show the file-open dialog. Select the file and press Open. Once the file path is shown in the ―Upload from:‖ field, press Upload to transfer the file to the device.
Xact Application User Manual AGPS ―AGPS‖ refers to Assisted GPS, which is a system that can improve the time-tofirst-fix (TTFF) for GPS. Whereas standalone GPS radio relies on signals from satellites, AGPS additionally uses network resources to locate and utilize the satellites faster — as well as better in poor signal conditions. To use this feature, you need to supply the latitude and longitude of the device.

Xact Application User Manual This chapter describes all the data fields and controls in the Configuration Editor — the window revealed when the Open Editor button is pressed in the main application window. For each setting, values are given both for choices within the Configuration Editor and for sending data directly to the device. Send Acknowledgement to Server Checking this checkbox forces the configuration to be recorded.

Xact Application User Manual Tracking Interval Indicates an index corresponding to a time interval at which to transmit waypoint/tracking information, selected by the spinner.
Xact Application User Manual alert operates independently; if the MSB is 1, the motion alert operates with geofences. Accelerometer The following three fields govern the GPS module — specifically when it turns on or off under the presence of acceleration. These settings are available to optimize device power consumption, because GPS is the most power-hungry module on the device.

Xact Application User Manual GSM Alert Threshold This sets the number of times that wireless coverage must be lost before an alert is raised. Values range from 1 to 5, and Off. If sent directly to the device, the value is a decimal ASCII number (1 through 5, or „N‟ for Off): Battery Alert This sets a combination of battery low-voltage and device shutdown alerts. Note that battery voltage, not charge, is the defining parameter. Level 1 corresponds to 3.7V, and Level 2 corresponds to 3.8V.
Xact Application User Manual Hardware Revision Indicates the major and minor hardware revision numbers. Values range from 00 to FF hexadecimal (0-255 decimal). This is a read-only setting, and is shown in the device management portal. Vibration Motor Pattern Sets the vibration pattern (rate at which vibration pulses are generated) for the internal vibration motor. Values range from 1 to 9, each corresponding to a particular pattern.

Values range from 1 to 9, each corresponding to a particular pattern. Select the pattern from the dropdown list. There are nine possible patterns because there are three LEDs, each of which can display three states: off, red, or green.
Xact Application User Manual If sent directly to the device, the value is a hexadecimal ASCII number ranging from 0000 to 210C. Active Fences This scrolling list indicates the geo-fences that are active. An active fence has its corresponding checkbox checked. If sent directly to the device, the value is a hexadecimal ASCII number ranging from 0x00000000000000 to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, where a bit position corresponds to a fence number.
Xact Application User Manual If sent directly to the device, the value is a hexadecimal ASCII number from 0x00000000 to 0xFFFFFFFF. For example, the IP address expressed as a dotted quad, 98.216.231.125, would be represented as 0x62D8E77D. Server Port The server port number. If sent directly to the device, the value is a ASCII hexadecimal number ranging from 0x0000 to 0xFFFF. For example, port 525 would be represented 0x020D.
Xact Application User Manual When sent directly to the device, the value is a hexadecimal number ranging from 0x20 to 0x6B.
Xact Application User Manual You‘ll see the usual file-open dialog; select a file (only files with a ―cfg‖ extension are initially shown) or enter a file name and press Open. The file‘s contents will be loaded and the Editor‘s fields set accordingly. Load From/Send To Device Having set or changed the configuration, you can install it on the device by pressing the Send To Device button. And if you wish to retrieve the device‘s current configuration for editing, press the Load From Device button.
