1. System Overview
1.1 MTD1000
The MTD1000 is a small, economical and low cost, high quality multi-purpose GPS/ GSM tracking
solution for personal and vehicle tracking. It can also be used as 2-way telemetry to control relays
and transmit short messages. With battery embedded, it can remain on standby for at least 24 hours.
It transmits the GPS data by using GPRS/SMS.
For efficient data management, it comes with a memory capacity of 6,000 full detail reports that
include position, date, time, system and input/output ports status enabling continuous recording of
position and time. The data can be downloaded either over-the-air or stored for downloading at a later
time.
The MTD1000 is capable of producing it own unique device ID.
Field Applications:
• Vehicle tracking device (GSM or GSM/ GPS)
• Anti-theft (GSM or GSM/ GPS with tilt sensor or equivalent)
• Personal emergency alert with panic button
• 2-way telemetry

Step 5 At the COM 1 Properties dialog, make the following selections, and then click OK:
• Bits per sec: 115200
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: none
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: none
HyperTerminal COM 1 Properties dialog
Note The settings in the Hyper Terminal need to be set correctly; otherwise,
strange-looking or garbage characters may show up on the screen. If you
are experiencing problems, make sure the router or modem is powered on,
you are attached to the proper Com Port and verify your cabling is working.
Without these correct settings, the device may display information, but does
not accept any keystrokes, making it appear as if it is hung, or has crashed.
If the default settings do not produce better results, your router may have
been configured to use non-standard settings. To verify, try to connect at
different speeds until you get a valid prompt.
Step 6 To prove you have a valid connection to a modem, type "AT" and you should receive "OK"
back from the MTD1000 device.
You should now be communicating with the MTD1000 device at com-port 1.
Please refer to the MTD1000 Commands guide for the operation of the device.
