MPTP MESSAGES AND REMOTE CONFIGURATION (OTA) 7
PART A: CONFIGURING SETTINGS FOR THE TRACKBOX
PART A: CONFIGURING
SETTINGS FOR THE TRACKBOX
There are two ways to configure settings for the Trackbox:
•You can use MPTP commands and transfer settings
remotely, over the air by sending a protocol message to
the device.
•You can use the Benefon Configurator software for
configuring settings and transfer them to the device
locally, via the BWTrackbox data/NMEA cable. The
BwTrackbox cable must be purchased separately, it is not
included in the Trackbox sales package.
- Benefon Configurator is compatible with Trackbox 2.1
versions starting from GSM 2.Jxxxxx and IOB 040326
- Benewin Trackbox software is compatible with former
Trackbox versions.
MPTP MESSAGES AND
REMOTE CONFIGURATION (OTA)
MPTP configuration commands are used when a remote up-
date of the device configuration is needed.
Update can include all telematics settings and phone num-
bers, such as emergency numbers, status messages, autho-
rized numbers, GPS operating mode. MPTP updates also
include commands for daily usage, such as location request
and tracking commands.
The remote configuration can be used for transferring the
settings only in case the settings are coded as MPTP messag-
es.
For more information on MPTP messages, please see the
separate documents: Mobile Phone Telematics Protocol
(MPTP), located at the Web site: www.benefon.com
TRACKBOX 2.1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PART A: CONFIGURING SETTINGS FOR THE TRACKBOX
8 THE BENEFON CONFIGURATOR SOFTWARE FOR TRACKBOX
THE BENEFON CONFIGURATOR
SOFTWARE FOR TRACKBOX
The Benefon Configurator software is intended for configur-
ing settings locally for the Trackbox.
Since the Benefon Configurator is very easy to use, it is ad-
visable to make initial and other major configurations for
the device with this software. The settings done with the
Benefon Configurator can be transferred to the Trackbox via
the BWTrackbox cable.
Another, slightly quicker way to transfer configurations
made by Benefon Configurator is to use the SetupLoad soft-
ware.
The Benefon Configurator for Trackbox 2.1 consists of six
main groups of settings: Short messages, Phone books, User
settings, Telematics settings, I/O settings and Waypoint track-
ing. The settings are divided up into pages and groups in-
cluding several data fields, such as Tracking settings,
Emergency settings, Log settings, Message settings, Protocol
settings and so on.
When you are finished with editing the settings, you can ei-
ther transfer the settings back to the device via the BWTrack-
box cable immediately, or save them in a computer disk (as
any normal file) for further use.
Connecting the Trackbox to the
Benefon Configurator
1. The BWTrackbox Data/NMEA cable may contain two
square-end adapters. Plug the data adapter (1) into a
serial port. Serial ports are located at the back panel of
your computer.
2. Next remove the back cover of the device by screwing it
off. Plug the flat end of the BWTrackbox cable (2) in
the configuration port of the device. Make sure the re-
lease button (3) is facing up.

THE BENEFON CONFIGURATOR SOFTWARE FOR TRACKBOX 9
PART A: CONFIGURING SETTINGS FOR THE TRACKBOX
3. Open the Benefon Configurator.
4. Choose the correct serial port from the toolbar: Click
the pop-up menu and highlight the desired port.
Or, choose Settings from the Edit menu. Select the De-
fault communication port by clicking the check box. Click
OK to exit the menu.
5. Double-click the main node My Benefon.Or, double-
click the Trackbox icon. Or, choose Connect from the
Mobile menu. Or, click the button Connect located on
the toolbar.
6. The software establishes a connection to the device and
renames My Benefon node according to the type and the
model of the device, in this case Trackbox.
In order to transfer configura-
tions made by Benefon Config-
urator, the BWTrackbox cable
must be plugged in the de-
vice´s configuration port.
The configuration port is lo-
cated inside the device, in the
lower part of the accessory
module.
Only in case the BWTrackbox
cable is intended for continu-
ous use, you may pierce a hole
to the elastomer for the cable
inlet. Otherwise, leave it intact
for improving dust and water
protection.
THE CONFIGURATION PORT
THE MAIN IDEA IS THAT THE PORT SELECTED IN SOFTWARE
MATCHES WITH THE PORT, THE DATA ADAPTER IS PLUGGED IN.

PART A: CONFIGURING SETTINGS FOR THE TRACKBOX
10 THE BENEFON CONFIGURATOR SOFTWARE FOR TRACKBOX
7. At the same time, the software reads data from the device
and loads it in the display. The data contains currently
existing settings and menus from the device. These set-
tings and menus are shown as sub-nodes, such as User
settings, and Telematics settings. The nodes are struc-
tured as the Benetree on the left side of the display.
8. If the software requests security code while loading the
settings, you must key in the code and press Ok. For
more information on security code, see SECURITY CODE
ON PAGE 48.
9. Click the name label Trackbox. The sub-nodes will be
displayed as icons on the working area, i.e. the Docu-
ment window,on the right.
10.You can select the desired sub-node/icon by clicking it.
The data fields will be displayed.
Loading settings from the Trackbox
to the software
As you connect the device to the software, all current set-
tings in the Trackbox are copied to the software.
To load only part of the settings to the software, choose Con-
figurator from the Edit menu (before pressing Connect but-
ton). Check the desired setting groups - the groups are
shown in the Mobile phone start up tasks. Click Ok while the
dialog box is displayed.
Unloaded settings can be loaded afterwards in the same ses-
sion by choosing Open NNsettings from the Mobile menu.
Saving settings in a computer disk
1. If the device is not currently connected to the software,
you can still make "off-line" configurations, save them
and transfer them to the device afterwards. When work-
ing this way, data fields are available for editing via My
computer node.
2. To save data in a computer disk, choose Save as... from
the File menu.
3. Select the destination drive and folder, and rename the
file the way you like. Click Save. The software stores all
data fields that the chosen node, e.g. User settings, con-
tains.
TIP
