1.2 About IntelliTrac A3

The IntelliTrac A3 GPS Unit wirelessly transmits location, peripheral, and vehicle control data to a

control center. Location data, including speed, direction, mileage, and altitude, is provided by an

onboard GPS receiver. Wireless transmission is achieved using an onboard GSM/GPRS module. A

microcontroller is used to poll location and command data at regular intervals, derive actions based

on location, peripheral, and control data, and execute those actions.

One of the best feature of A series AVL is that they can transit data on ASCII mode ( Intellitrac X

series compatible mode ) or Binary mode.

Peripheral data indicates the status of the various peripherals that are connected to and/or

controlled by the unit. Peripherals include, but not limited to, door locks/un-locks , starter interrupt,

ignition, battery, engine and panic button.

Firmware on the device applies intelligent filtering to overcome coverage limitations for both GPS

and GSM/GPRS networks.

Motion sensor is used to control the status of the unit, either sleep, idle, or full power, there by

controlling the amount of current the unit consumes.

Backup battery and tamper sensing GPS Antennas are primarily used to indicate loss of Main

Power and loss of GPS antenna connectivity.

Device supports Over-the-air firmware upgrade to deliver added functionality without physically

touching the device once installed.

z The G-Sensor is used for car accident. Car tow-away warning and power management.

z Audio interface offer hands free phone call.

z GPIO can be used to connect to any customer monitoring points (door switch, anti-thief) or

Actuators.

z A/D Input is used to connect the analog signal sensor into the AVL. Like the fuel or temperature

sensor.

z OPTIONAL CAN-Bus Interface can be used for Emission Related monitoring of the vehicle. Fleet

management and vehicle Diagnostic.

z OPTIONAL I2 C Bus. SPI Bus can be used for sophisticated peripherals to hook up to the AVL.

z RS232 Expansion port 1-2. Dedicated for A3. It can be used to add on RS232 I/O peripherals.

z RTOS OPTION: We will have A1, A3 professional version with Real Time operation system in

2.4 Communication Settings

There are two communication modes for the IntelliTrac A series device to communicate to the control center.

One is SMS, and the other is GPRS (TCP/UDP). The device should be set communication parameters

before install the device to vehicle.

(1) SMS Configuration

Setting SMS control center phone number or short code by using AT$SMSDST command. For example,

the SMS control center phone number is +886123456789, issue the AT$SMSDST command in

HyperTerminal like below:

AT$SMSDST=+886123456789

Then you can try to use cellular phone or SMS gateway to send a SMS message to the A series device.

Send a SMS message Æ "AT$MODID?"

Device will response：

$MODID=101000001

This proves the mobile phone SMS connects successfully.
