All cars built and sold in the United States since 1996 must be equipped with thenewer OBDII system. The Enfora MT 3000 connects to a vehicle's OBDII port and monitors the OBDIIsystem using a variety of communication protocols.The MT 3000 can be configured to provide notification messages based on engine rpm, low fuel or battery,or other events monitored by the OBDII system in addition to events triggered by the device'saccelerometer or GPS information.Some vehicles are not compatible with the MT 3000. If the vehicle is not compatiblewith the parameters the MT 3000 requires, functionality my be limited, problematicor unavailable.The SAE (Society of Automobile Engineers) 1979 standard defines the method for requesting diagnosticsdata and a list of standard parameters from the engine control unit.Compliance to this standard is the responsibility of the vehicle manufacturer, therefore Enfora cannotguarantee performance of the MT 3000 with every vehicle.The following are some of the OBDII parameters monitored by the Enfora MT 3000 and triggered as alertswhen so configured:lVehicle Identification Number (VIN)lExcessive engine speed (RPM)lVehicle speedlVehicle battery voltage (low battery warning)lCheck engine light (MIL alert)lOdometer (trip distance)lIdle timelLow fuel-2-

The MT 3000 supports the following standard OBDII protocols:lJ1850 PWMlJ1850 VPWlISO-9141-2lISO-14230 KWP2000lISO-15765 CANSome vehicles only support a subset of these protocols, in these cases functionality ofthe MT 3000 will be limited.-3-

4 Software FeaturesAT Commands Over SMSA user can send AT commands to the MT 3000 via SMS. Please refer to Enfora Application NoteGSM0308AN001 - Enabler IIIG AT Commands Over SMS.Store/Transmit Event DataThe user can configure the MT 3000 to store event-generated data in its internal memory, to be sent overthe air to a remote server. This feature can be enabled or disabled using the AT$MSGLOGEN command.“Total Number of Unread Messages” is decremented if an unread message is read via the AT$MSGLOGRDcommand.Example: Assume there are 50 unread messages in the GPRS queue and the total number of messages inGPRS queue is 100. This means that the first 50 messages have been read while the last 50 messages havenot been read. If a user sends AT$GPSLOGRD=0,1,51 then the total number of unread messages dropsdown to 49 after successful transmission of that message. However, if a user sends AT$GPSLOGRD=0,1,99then the total number of unread messages still remains at 50 – that message is transmitted to the remoteserver.A user can also read a message that has already been read from the memory by passing in the appropriatestarting index number.Synchronize RTC Time with GPS TimeThe Real Time Clock ("RTC") is synchronized with GPS time automatically every time the device is poweredup and first acquires valid GPS data. Additionally, the RTC time is synched with GPS time every time theGPS time rolls over from 23:59:59 to 00:00:01.4.1 New Event ReportingThe MT 3000 has additional event reporting not supported by other Enfora products. For general eventreporting information and for detailed information about these new events refer to the MT 3000 ATCommand Document (GSM2374AT001).Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)The VIN is used as a unique identifier, sent at first power up, with heartbeat messages, and with events.- 17 -

Vehicle manufacturers are responsible for defining the list of data returned,therefore not all vehicles support retuning the Vehicle Identification Number.Excessive Engine Speed (RPM)Excessive engine speed alerts are triggered when the engine speed (in RPM) exceed a defined RPM level(in ¼ RPM increments) for a defined period of time in seconds (e.g. 30 seconds).The MT 3000 has three definable thresholds.Unnecessary wear and tear on the powertrain control module (PCM) may occur if constant or frequentexcessive engine speed is reported. The excessive engine speed event may be caused by one of thefollowing situations:lThere are obstructions (ice, mud, etc...) causing wheel slippage that must be cleared from thevehiclelThe driver is revving the RPM while in neutrallThe driver is driving in such a way that the RPM engine speed is deemed excessive, such as speedingAT$OBDEES=1,16000,3,30Sets excessive engine speed threshold 1 to 4000 RPM, if exceeded for 3 seconds, trigger input event. Thisevent will clear once engine RPM is below 4000 for 30 seconds.Vehicle SpeedIf configured for vehicle speed alerts and the vehicle moves faster than one of the three configurablethresholds (e.g. 70 MPH), then a vehicle speed alert is triggered.AT$OBDSPD=1,112,10,104Sets Vehicle Speed Threshold 1 to 112 KPH (~70MPH). If Threshold excededed for 10 seconds trigger inputevent. This event will clear when vehicle speed is reduced to 104KPH (~65MPH).Vehicle Battery Voltage (Low Battery Warning)The vehicle battery voltage alert is triggered when the vehicle’s battery is reported to be below a threshold(e.g. 10.7 V) for a user-defined period of time in seconds (e.g. 300 seconds).AT$OBDLBL=10800,300,300- 18 -

Sets low battery threshold to 10.8volts. If below this threshold for 300 seconds (5 minutes) trigger the inputevent. restoring voltage abovethe threshold for 300secods (5 minutes) will clear this event.Check Engine Light (MIL Alert)When the vehicle “Check Engine” light illuminates, this indicates a vehicle issue that requires attention fordiagnosis and/or repair. This is also known as a Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). When a MIL issue isdetected through the OBDII protocol, an alert is sent from the device if the device is configured to do so.Trip Odometer ReportingTrip odometer reporting provides the odometer miles accumulated from ignition on to ignition off, whichis considered a “trip”.NOTE: Ignition events are not yet detected on hybrid or electric vehicles.Idle Time ReportingIdle time event is triggered when the vehicle’s engine is running without the vehicle moving (i.e. velocityless than 2 MPH) for a defined period of time in seconds (e.g. 300 seconds).The alert is cleared when the vehicle speed exceeds another speed and time threshold.Both the violation and clearing of the alert are reported if configured.AT$OBDLBL=10800,300,300Sets low battery threshold to 10.8volts. If below this threshold for 300 seconds (5 minutes) trigger the inputevent. restoring voltage abovethe threshold for 300secods (5 minutes) will clear this event.Low Fuel AlertThe low fuel alert triggers when the vehicle’s fuel level falls below a defined threshold in percent (e.g.12%) for a defined period of time in seconds (e.g. 60 seconds).Rapid AccelerationRapid acceleration events can be triggered when one of three available vehicle speed thresholds areexceeded as determined by the accelerometer in milli-Gs (e.g. 0.75) for a defined period of time inseconds (e.g. 30 seconds).AT$OBDACL=1,200,1,30- 19 -

Sets Rapid accel threshold 1 to .2Gs. If this threshold is exceeded for 1 second, trigger the input event. Thisevent will clear in 30 seconds below this treshold.Sudden Deceleration (Harsh Braking)Rapid deceleration events can be triggered when one of three available vehicle speed thresholds areexceeded as determined by the accelerometer in milli-Gs (e.g. 1.0) for a defined period of time in seconds(30 seconds).AT$OBDDCL=1,.500,1,3Sets Rapid decel threshold 1 to .5Gs. If this threshold is exceeded for 1 second, trigger the input event. Thisevent will clear in 30 seconds below this treshold.Motion DetectionMotion alerts for vehicles can be configured to communicate that a vehicle is being towed. Motiondetection based on measuring movement via the accelerometer occurs when the vehicle ignition is off,and the vehicle is stationary.A motion alert is triggered when motion defined in milli-Gs is detected for a defined period of time.OBDII Basic Event DataFour additional data items can be included with event messages:lVINlFirmware version ($PKG)lOBD Protocol (i.e. J1850 PWM)lCellular signal strength (RSSI)- 20 -

5 Installation5.1 Inserting the SIMInsert the SIM per the following procedure:Note: The SIM card is not provided with the MT 3000 device. The SIM must beobtained from the GSM/GPRS service provider and must be provisioned by theoperator for data. Always take care to protect the SIM. Without the SIM installed,MT 3000 modem is not able to communicate on the network.1. Using the correct tool, carefully remove the device cover to access the internal SIM holder.2. Insert the SIM into the SIM holder of the MT 3000.3. Replace the cover.Figure: 17 - Internal SIM Holder- 21 -

5.2 Device InstallationInstructions provided in this section describe the hardware installation of the MT 3000 device. To installthe MT 3000 in a vehicle, follow these steps:lLocate the OBDII socket. The location will vary between different vehicle manufacturers, models,and production years.Do not use this product on '06 or '07 Ford F-150 trucks. Faulty wiring in these vehiclesmay cause a fire.Warning: The MT 3000 is NOT a waterproof or sealed device. Care must be taken toensure the device is kept away from water or any other liquids.lCarefully insert the MT 3000 into the OBDII socket.lAfter the device is installed, ensure the device is working properly as evidenced by a GPS lock and cel-lular connection, which can be validated by the LEDs.- 22 -

Figure: 18 - Typical OBDII Socket LocationWarning: Upon vehicle ignition on, immediately following device installation, thedevice starts the Accelerometer Auto-calibration process.5.3 Accelerometer CalibrationThe accelerometer undergoes an automatic calibration sequence on the first drive after any of thefollowing events:lDevice installationlSoftware upgradelVehicle battery replacement (or recharge if battery was fully discharged)lDevice auxiliary processor resetFailure to follow the process below will cause could cause an undesired behavior ofthe motion feature. Failure to drive straight on level ground during the automaticcalibration may reduce the accuracy of the accelerometer and have an adverseimpact on events triggered by accelerometer readings.When the vehicle passes 32 KPH, the auxiliary processor assumes that the vehicle is moving in a straightline and determines the forward axis.Before installing the MT3000 make sure the vehicle is parked on level ground.The vehicle should be driven in a straight path on level ground during the automatic calibration. Aninclined surface will put part of the gravity vector into the XY plane, which will affect the accelerationthresholds. (A 5.7 degree angle will place 10 % of the gravity vector into the XY plane.)- 23 -

If you do not see the letters AT, send the following command to the device:ii. ATE1<CR>d. Type ATI<CR>. The device should respond with Enfora, Inc. If you get any different response,you are not connected to the Enfora device. See Figure: 19 - "ATI Response"Figure: 19 - ATI Response2. Configure the device to communicate with the Enfora Test Server.a. The following information will need to be obtained from the SIM provider. Please refer toGSM0000AN019 – Network Configuration Worksheet.- 25 -

i. APNii. Username and password (If necessary.)b. Reset the device to factory defaults:i. To restore the device to factory defaults, send the following command: AT&F<CR>ii. To write current configuration to memory, send the following command: AT&W<CR>iii. To reset the device, send the following command: AT$RESET<CR>c. Configure the device to access the GPRS network.i. To configure the device with the proper APN, send the following command:AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”apn”<CR> (substitute the letters “APN” for the supplied APN.)ii. To configure the device with the proper username and password, (if necessary) send thefollowing command: AT%CGPCO=1,”username,password”,0<CR> (substitute the correctusername and password)iii. To configure the device to enable auto GPRS registration, send the following command:AT$AREG=2<CR>Note: When the device is reset, Windows will detect the detachment of the deviceand you may have to close and reopen the communication program to reestablishcommunications with the device.Verify GSM status by sending the following command:AT+CREG?<CR>If everything is working, you should receive one of two responses:+CREG: 0,1 (GSM registered to home network)OR+CREG: 0,5 (GSM registered roaming.)Verify GPRS status by sending the following command: AT%CGREG?<CR>If everything is working, you should receive one of two responses:- 26 -

%CGREG: 0,1 (GPRS registered to home network)Or%CGREG: 0,5 (GPRS registered roaming.)See Figure: 20 - "Verify GPRS Status"Figure: 20 - Verify GPRS StatusVerify GPRS activation by sending the following command: AT$NETIP?<CR>If the response is non-zero, then everything is working.See Figure: 21 - "Verify GPRS Activation"- 27 -

Figure: 21 - Verify GPRS ActivationIf AT$NETIP returns all zeros, send the following command: AT$CGEER<CR>There are three common responses:l$CGEER: no PDP reject cause (Everything should be working OK)l$CGEER: requested service option not subscribed (APN is incorrect or SIM has not been enabled fordata mode.)l$CGEER: user authentication failed (username and/or password is incorrect.)Configure the device to access the Enfora Server.To configure the device for server interoperability, several things have to be addressed:lMost GPRS configurations are Mobile Originate only. The mobile device must initiate a conversationwith a remote server before the remote server can talk to the device.lIP addresses are dynamically assigned and can change.lSome IP addresses are NAT and are non-routable IP addresses.These issues are addressed with the following configuration commands.The examples will use the following information:- 28 -

lModem ID/name = “MT_Test”lRemote Server DNS address = apitest.enfora.comlRemote Server IP port = 17211. Give the device a unique name send the following command:AT$MDMID=”MT_Test”This command, combined with the wakeup message, will allow the server to associate a Public IP addresswith a specific device and create a window of opportunity where the server can send commands to thedevice See Figure: 4 - "Wakeup Command"2. To talk with a specific server send the following command:AT$FRIEND=1,1,”apitest.enfora.com”3. To set the port number send the following command:AT$UDPAPI=,17214. To Enable periodic messages (wakeup) to be sent to the server every 60 seconds send the followingcommand:AT$WAKEUP=1,1See Figure: 22 - "Wakeup Command"- 29 -

Figure: 22 - Wakeup Command6.4 Verifying Server ConnectivityNote: For the following tests, Java Runtime must be installed on the computer. (To installJava Runtime, please visit the Java website: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp)1. Start Internet Explorer and enter the following URL: http://apitest.enfora.com/udpapp/2. Enter the name used in the MDMID command in the box. Select Connect See Figure: 23 - "VerifyServer Connectivity"- 30 -

Figure: 23 - Verify Server Connectivity3. Select the tab with the device name.(In this diagram it is labeled "MT_Test") Within approximately60 seconds the wakeup messages should be seen in the window See Figure: 24 - "Wakeup Mes-sages"- 31 -

Figure: 24 - Wakeup Messages4. Enter the following command in the command/ data block:ATI5. Select Write6. Verify that you see the device respond with Enfora, Inc. See Figure: 25 - "ATI Response" . If so,you have successfully configured the device to talk with the server.- 32 -

Figure: 25 - ATI Response6.5 Verify GPS OperationFollow these directions to verify GPS Operation.1. From the terminal window, send the following command: AT$GPSRD=10<CR>2. The device should respond with a standard GPRMC message that looks similar to the following:$GPRMC,221223.00,A,3301.5080,N,09642.3857,W,000.0,000.0,230805,05.9,E,A*19lA = OKlV = Warningl9 = Enfora Specific response that GPS solution is not valid and the last known GPS location is beingsubstituted.- 33 -

Here is an example of a GPRMC message without a GPS lock: $GPRMC,221553.30,V,,,,,,,,,,N*7C The samecommand can be used in the server application See Figure: 26 - "Verify GPS Operation" .Figure: 26 - Verify GPS Operation- 34 -
