1.3 About CAREU UCAN 3G
Designed with the latest GPS technology, the CAREU UCAN 3G delivers positioning
message by GSM wireless transmission to GIS platform, and then helps back-end users
proceed with the analysis and the applications of vehicle transport, management, anti-theft,
security and tracking.
A microcontroller can probe location and command data at regular intervals, derive actions
from location, peripheral and control data, and execute such actions. Peripheral data
indicates the status of various peripherals connected to and/or controlled by the device.
Among the best features of the CAREU UCAN 3G Vehicle Tracker, in particular, they
transmit data in ASCII mode (Intellitrac X Series compatible mode) or binary mode.

Chapter 1
The firmware in the device applies intelligent filtering to overcome coverage
limitations for both GPS and GSM/GPRS networks. Motion sensor controls the status
of the device, whether in sleep, idle or fully-powered mode, and thereby controls the
amount of current consumed by the device. The device supports over-the-air firmware
upgrade to deliver additional functionality without physically touching the device once
installed.
1.4 Hardware
Architecture
As hardware is concerned, the CAREU UCAN 3G is comprised of a micro-
controller, regulator, GPS receiver, GSM/GPRS modem, G-Force sensor, flash
memory data storage.
● Users can connect PC's Hyper Terminal to the diagnostic setting port for the AVL
configuration.
● G-Sensor is for car accident prevention, car tow-away warning and power
management.

The CAREU UCAN 3G communicates with your host computer by the USB
interface.
In some newer editions of Windows XP, the CAREU UCAN 3G device can be installed as a
"virtual COM port" device whereby the CAREU UCAN 3G would automatically access
Windows XP's inbox USB drivers. While in some other earlier editions of Windows XP, you
would need to manually install the USB driver for the CAREU UCAN 3G device.
To install the device driver for the CAREU UCAN 3G, connect the CAREU UCAN 3G device
to your system with an USB cable as mentioned in Mini USB Cable Connection on page 6.
As soon as the connection is made between the CAREU UCAN 3G and your computer, a
balloon appears above the notification area saying an USB device is found.
Click on this balloon to start the [Found New Hardware] wizard.
Select No, not this time. Press the Next button to proceed.

3.4 Communication
Settings
The CAREU UCAN 3G Vehicle Tracker communicates with your control center by
either SMS or GPRS (TCP/UDP). Before the device is installed into a vehicle,
communication parameters should be set.
1. SMS Configuration
Use
AT$SMSDST
command to set a SMS control center phone number or short code.
For example, if the SMS control center phone number is +886123456789, the
AT$SMSDST
command to be issued into HyperTerminal should be:
AT$SMSDST=+886123456789
OK
Then you can try to use cellular phone or SMS gateway to send a SMS message to the
CAREU UCAN 3G device. Send a SMS message --
>"AT$MODID?" Device will response:
$MODID=101000001
OK
This proves a successful mobile phone SMS connection.
2. GPRS Configuration
Set GPRS servers by using the folloiwng commands:
AT$APN=internet,username,password
(APN=internet, Username=username,
Password=password) OK
AT$HOSTS=1,0,60.148.19.10,6000
(Server IP address = 60.148.19.10 and Port number =6000)
OK
AT$RETRY=5,10 (Message retry settings)
OK
AT$IPTYPE=1
(Using TCP/IP mode)
OK
AT$GPRSEN=1 (GPRS enable)
OK
AT$HB=60,1 (Heartbeat setting)
OK
Please refer

3.5 GPS Tracking Configurations
After the device communication settings are done, the remote GPS tracking is ready to
function. The setting of GPS tracking can be done by using AT$PDSR command. For
example,
AT$PDSR=1,30,0,0,2,0,0,1,0
(Tracking through GPRS by time interval 30 seconds)
OK
For simple testing GPRS, run the TCP Server U-Series software which is provided by S&T.
It is simple server software that can wait for device connection and data.
For advanced testing, you need the software Intelli TracerPlus. Please request
this software through your sales contact.
