1 Presentation of the demonstrator products
Products from the EG-IoT-xxxx family are suitable for harsh outdoor environments. They are all waterproof and
resistant to mechanical shocks.
Compact, with integrated long-range antennas and a long battery life, they are easy to implement.
The ability to have two communication technologies LPWAN+3G allows to have a product dedicated to critical
applications.
These products are intended for use in various applications such as geolocation, remote control, metering, remote
supervision …
This document presents the general characteristics and the implementation of functional demonstrators.

5 Configuration via internal serial link
5.1 Opening the casing
Tools : Screwdriver TORX T10.
Tape
Screwdriver or coin.
1 –Using the TORX T10 screwdriver, remove the 4
screws under the casing.
2 –Optional. Stick the adhesive tape to the bottom of the
M8 connector.
3 –Use the flathead screwdriver or a coin to remove the
upper part from the lower part using the notch
provided for this purpose.
4 –Rotate the upper part, taking as the axis of rotation
the base of the casing on the M8 connector side. The
duct tape will avoid from pulling on the connections.

5.2 Installation of SIM card
1 –After having opened the casing (§ Erreur !
Source du renvoi introuvable. Erreur !
Source du renvoi introuvable. the casing),
Insert the Micro SIM card (format 3FF, format
N°2 on below picture).
2 –Push the Micro SIM card to the end.
5.3 Power supply connection
The product is delivered with its power supply connected. It is in deep sleep mode.
The product wakes up for a configuration:
When the converter cable USB/TTL is connected to the terminal,
At each transmission of character when the product is in sleep mode
If the power supply is disconnected, the product loses its activation capacity as its
configuration will be altered.
5.4 USB/TTL cable connection
1 –Carefully separate the upper part from the lower
part, using as the rotation axis the opposite side
of the M8 connector.

5.5 Access to configuration menu
By default, the product is supplied with a demonstration application. This application allows to make tracking or to
read temperature and status of IN1 and IN2 digital inputs.
Use a Command Prompt software in order to communicate with the product.
The link between the product and the terminal is done with a USB/TTL cable: 115200,8,N,1.
Use only the USB/TTL cable recommended by ercogener (Ref. 4440Z00025).
Connect the product to the terminal.
Wait for the installation of the USB driver.
Once the driver installed, open the Device Manager to know the corresponding COM port.

If the application does not receive any character after a timeout of 2 mn, the product goes
back to deep sleep mode.
To wake it up, a new character has to be entered.
Each wakeup of the application means a reset, so consequently, the actions programed
during this status change are processed (Restart of start activation).
Once the configuration is done, enter 'S' to save the parameters. The activation of the product
will be active after the timeout defined in line 3 of the menu 'Start activation delay
(0-1440mn)'.
If you enter 'U' to update the application, you enter in bootloader mode. The application is not
available anymore and the product is waiting for a new application without going back to a
deep-sleep mode.
The power supply must be disconnected and reconnected in order to go back to the
configuration menu if the update is not done immediately.

5.6 Update of embedded software via Boot loader
For this, you must have the application STM32 Flash Loader.exe with its dll : STBootLib.dll
You also must have the new (latest) application to be installed: EG-IoT_Traceur_Vx.xx.bin (example)
Start the program STM32 Flash Loader.exe
1) The following window appears:
Select the port corresponding to
the cable
2) Select the port speed, other than
115 200 bauds:
3) Select the file
Select a port speed other than 115 200 bauds.
The software is ready to load the new application.
From the configuration menu
Enter Z and then Y (strongly advised)
Enter U and then Y

In the window of the STM32 Flash Loader, select « Write Firmware & Jump »
The message » Erasing » appears
The message « Programming »
appears
The message « Success » appears
The new software version is automatically launched.
To check it, open the COM port with the terminal software and from the menu, enter « V ».
In case the menu does not appear, disconnect the battery, wait a few seconds and reconnect it.

5.7 Closing the casing
1 –Connect the Lexan in case it has been disconnected
A –Carefully unlock the connector.
B –Insert the Lexan.
C –Carefully lock the connector.
2 –Connect the battery or the lithium battery in
case it has been disconnected.
A –Check the presence of the SIM card.
B –Connect the battery or the lithium
battery.
3 –While placing the battery or the lithium battery,
check that the Lexan is not folded.
4 –After having installed the battery or the lithium
battery, check that the wires are positioned
according to this picture.
5 –Close the housing. Check the presence of the
seal on the 4 screws to ensure the
waterproofness.
6 –With the TORX T10 screwdriver, place the 4
screws under the housing.
Once the screws stop, make an additional
quarter turn to ensure the waterproofness.

5.8.2 Installation
For optimum conditions of transmission and reception
The arrow must be positioned upwards (see figure below)
Avoid any obstacle on and in front of the product.
If the M8 cable is not connected, the cap must be placed on the connector of the
product in order to ensure its waterproofness

6 Demonstration application:
This application will allow you to test the product for different cases of use.
This application will have evolutions and in this case, updates will be communicated.

6.1.1 Principle
This version of demonstration is unidirectional for the transmission of information to a server and the SMS
transmission.
The features taken into account are:
Management of internal serial port for configuration
Management of date and time
Management of timeout between the configuration and the activation
Management of keepalive frame
Management of ways of transmission : LoRa, Sigfox, 2G/3G, LTE CAT.M1 for transmission of SMS and/or
TCP/UDP frame
Management of internal temperature reading
For tracking
oManagement of position report
oManagement of entry/exit of a circular zone
oManagement of movement detection
oManagement of alert upon entry/exit of a zone
oManagement of alert upon start of movement and stop of movement
oManagement of cyclical transmission of frame during movement
For telemetering
oManagement of the 2 digital inputs
oManagement of pulse counting on each of the 2 inputs
oManagement of hour meter on each of the 2 inputs
oManagement of thresholds for counting (high level) and temperature (low level and high level)
oManagement of alert upon status change of an input (upwards or downwards from the normal level
of reference)
The main limits of this application are visible in the configuration menu of each parameter. The fixed limits not
indicated in the menu are :
The time is a UTC time
Hysteresis of zone entry/exit (geofencing) : 50m
Hysteresis around temperature threshold : 2°C
Resolution of pulse counting : Fmax =20Hz, Ton mini=12ms
Resolution of hour meter : duration mini 1s, resolution 1mn, duration max 65535mn, corresponding to 45
days
Detection of movement (vehicle transport mode) : start of movement constant during 2s, stop of movement
after 3 mn of immobilization
LPWAN networks coverage:
oSigfox : https://www.sigfox.com/en/coverage
oLoRa Objenius : http://objenious.com/reseau/
oLoRa LiveObject : not communicated
To save power, the product wakes up:
At the Keep alive frequency or at the alert cyclical frequency
Upon an asynchronous event: movement or front detection
There is no asynchronous event for the temperature threshold overrun. The first alert is sent depending on
the keep alive frequency.
