B. System Introduction
VT200 is a high-tech product through cooperation with mobile
operators. It combines GPS Global Positioning System and
GSM/GPRS communication system, which can clearly inform you the
position & situation of your car.
GPS is the abbreviation for Global Positioning System, which based
on 24 position location satellites around the earth orbit. Their locating
precision can be kept within 10 to 15 meters.
GSM is the second digital mobile communication system (GPRS,
second and fifth digital mobile communication system), and at
present it is the mobile communication system that has the largest
coverage and owns the most number of users. This product
combines GPS and GSM/GPRS technologies together. It uses
GPS system to locate your car, and sends the position/ situation
report back to you via GSM/GPRS communication system.
With a delicate mobile phone, you can monitor the present situation in
your car from a faraway place. You can use the telephone remote
control function to set monitoring mode, which will report the situation
of your car to you periodically.

GT30 will response one SMS to confirm the setting.
For example : “Set SIM OK/123456”
( tip:
“123456” can be considered to be the device’s name. (Tracker ID must be < 14 digits)
If there are several devices ,you can use their Tracker ID to differ from each other. )
Step3 : Set IP address and Port by send one SMS
SMS Format: W******,012,IP,PORT
IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
PORT： [1,65536]
For example :
W000000,012,202.116.11.12,8000
GT30 will response one SMS to check it.
Like “Set IP ok /202.116.11.12#8000”
( tip:
Make sure that the IP should be the Extranet IP. If your pc is in Intranet ,you must know your
Extranet IP . You may need the help of you network administrator )

- 23 -Page 23 of 30
Step4: Set APN String
SMS format : W*****,011, APNString
For example :
W000000,011, CMNET
GT30 will response one SMS to check it
For Example “set APN OK /CMNET”
Step5: Set time interval of sending GPRS package
SMS format: W******,014 , XXXXX
XXXXX：means times interval, (Unit: 10s)
( The length of XXXXX MUST be 5 digits )
XXXXX=00001, means time interval is 10s;
XXXXX=00000, means STOP GPRS function.
For example:
W000000,014,00003
SMS meaning: Make GT30 send a GPRS package every 30 seconds
GT30 will response one SMS to confirm the setting .
For example “set GPRS Timer ok/00003”
( tip:
W000000,014,00000 mean STOP GPRS function )
Step6: Enable communication protocol type
SMS format: W******,013,X
X meaning is defined by RedView GPS.
You can set it as 1 or 0
X=0: Enable Protocol B ( Suggestion )
X=1: Enable Protocol A
For example: W00000, 013, 1
W00000, 013, 0

K Trouble shooting
If you find some trouble in using VT200, please refer the following:
(1) Check GPS signal is normal,
please check following issue:
(a) Working outdoor,VT200 can get better GPS signal;
(b) Check the front side is placed toward sky;
(c ) Charging VT200 for 3 hours for the tracker has enough power before usage
(2) Check GSM signal is normal
(a) Whether the GSM network is strong enough to make the track unit work.
You can judge it by calling someone thorough your cell phone.
(b) Whether the SIM card is installed correctly or not ,and try to pull out and insert
SIM card as following picture shows to ensure it; try this operation a few times
may help to ensure correct installation
(c) Whether there is enough deposit in SIM card or not;
(d) Whether your SIM card in VT200 support SMS function or not, (including send
SMS and receive SMS)
(f) Whether SIM card has specific requirement on cell phone or not,
for example whether the SIM card can only use in a appointed cell phone, other
cell phone cannot use the SIM card
(g) Whether SIM card is binding to the specific cell phone or not
(h) Whether SIM card need some authorization when using it
For example, you need type one password when you use the kind of SIM cards
(i) Whether the tracker has enough power to work, we strongly suggest it was
charged at least 3 hours before use it
(3) The SMS which be replied by VT200 is including the chars --- “ Last ……….”
It is indicate the GPS signal is weak.
