GPRS Data Setup and Operation It is very important to understand the basic operation of GPRS network and how the data is sent. We suggest you to check with your GSM service provider for the charges and availability of GPRS data transfer. Charges for sending data are different in every country in the world. For sending data we use TCP/IP protocol. This protocol uses complete handshaking (No data can get lost or corrupted while sending). It is very cost effective to send data with GPRS as 10,000 bytes of data will only cost about 10 cents, but sending 1 text message (only 160 bytes) will cost about 20 cents (cost depends on country and GSM service provider). GPRS is more than 124 times cheaper than using SMS messages! i. Before you can use GPRS Before you can use GPRS you need to find out from your GSM provider the following information: 1. ISP login and password name. 2. APN(Access Point Name) If GPRS is not available by your GSM provider than enable SMS only. V. Command Activation Codes and Data Format When iTrac receives SMS messages it will only accept messages that come from the 1st mobile phone number preset in call parties. Note: it needs a space between c1 and x; c2 and x; c3 and x; c5 and x
7Functions and options that can be set remotely by text messages(SMS)! iTrac only listens command code that comes from the 1st preset number in Called parties for the following cases and confirm message will be sent back after one below command codes c1 x Æ ( x=0 Output 1 OFF x=1 Output 1 ON) c2 x Æ ( x=0 Output 2 OFF x=1 Output 2 ON) c3 x Æ ( x=0 Remote Controller Disable x=1 Remote Controller Enable) c5 x Æ ( x=0 Arm OFF x=1 Arm ON) c8 Æ Reset a confirm message will be sent back to 1st preset number after one of command codes above send successful to unit.
