Chapter 1 introduction.
Designed with the latest GPS technology, the CAREU U1 LITE PLUS delivers
positioning message by 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 U1 LITE PLUS
Vehicle Tracker, in particular, they transmit data in ASCII mode (Intellitrac X Series
compatible mode) or binary mode.

Chapter 3 Getting Started with CAREU U1 LITE PLUS
To install the the CAREU U1 LITE PLUS device, follow the instructions below
for basic operations
3.1 Device Configuration
1. Connected the serial port 1 to PC COM port
2. In Windows desktop, click Start | All Programs | Accessories | Communications
| HyperTerminal.
3. If you are prompted to input the information of your location, complete them to
proceed.
4. On the File menu of HyperTerminal, click New Connection.
5. In the Name box, type a name that describes the connection. In the Icon box, click
an appropriate icon. Press the OK button to proceed.
6
6. For Com port properties, configure as follows: Baud Rate --> 115200 bps
Data Bits --> 8
Parity --> None
Stop Bits --> 1
Flow Control --> None
7. In the connection that you have just set up, click File | Properties. Select the
[Connect To] tab. From the [Connect using] drop down list, select the correct com
port.
7
8. In the File menu, click Properties. Click the [Settings] tab. Press the ASCII Setup
button.
9. In the [ASCII Sending] group box. Select both Send line ends with line feeds
and Echo typed characters locally. Press the OK button.
10.Connect your the CAREU U1 LITE PLUS device and power on,The device startup
message will be displayed.
8
11. In [HyperTerminal] window, type in the command "AT$VERSION?" and press
the Enter key. The hardware and firmware version will show. As long as your
[HyperTerminal] window appears as the screenshot below, a connection
between the device and your system has already been built up and working. It
is time to send all configuration commands.

3.2 Communication Settings
The CAREU U1 LITE PLUS Vehicle Tracker communicates with your control center by
either SMS or 2G/3G (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$SMSDST=+886123456789
OK
Then you can try to use cellular phone or SMS gateway to send a SMS message to
the CAREU U1 LITE PLUS device. Send a SMS message -->"AT$MODID?"
Device will response:
$MODID=101000001
OK
This proves a successful mobile phone SMS connection.
2.WirelessConfiguration
Set GPRS servers by using the folloiwng commands:
AT$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
10
AT$HB=60,1 (Heartbeat setting) OK
Please refer to the CAREU U1 LITE PLUS Protocol Document for more command
details.
3.3 GPS Tracking Configurations
After the device communication settings are done, the remote GPS tracking is ready
to function. The setting of GPS tracking can be done by using AT$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.
