Safety Precautions
To prevent damage to your PMRS-100 device or injury to yourself and others, please read
the following safety information prior to using your device.
WARNING
To prevent damage, electric shocks, fires and/or explosions:
Do not use damaged power charger cords or plugs, or loose electrical sockets.
Do not touch the PMRS-100 device or the power charger cords with wet hands.
Do not place or use this product near water or wet locations.
Do not twist, bend, cut or damage the power charger cords.
Do not drop or cause an impact to the PMRS-100 device or the power chargers.
Do not place your device on an object where it is likely to fall. If your device falls, it
may get damaged.
Do not charge the PMRS-100 device with chargers that are not approved by the
manufacturer.
Do not use the PMRS-100 device if the built-in lithium battery is damaged or leaking.
Avoid exposing the PMRS-100 device to very hot or very cold temperatures. Extreme
temperatures may cause deformation of the device and reduce the charging capacity
and/or life of your device/ battery.
Do not use or store your device in dusty or dirty areas.
Do not allow children to use your PMRS-100 device.
When turning the unit on:
To turn the PMRS-100 unit on, locate the ON/OFF switch on the side of the unit.
Carefully move the switch to the ON position until it clicks and the LED lights turn on.
Repeat the process to turn it off.
Before turning the unit ON, please make sure that the GSM Antenna is connected to
its appropriate antenna connector on the unit. If the SIM card is inserted into the
unit and the unit is turned ON without the GSM antenna being connected, this may
cause harm to the internal cellular modem. Therefore it is recommended to keep
the GSM Antenna connected all the time.
After turning the unit OFF, please wait until the LED’s on the top of the unit shut off
completely before turning the unit back ON.

When charging the unit:
The PMRS-100 unit’s maximum power input is 5V. The chargers supplied by Infodraw
provide the correct (5V) power output to the unit. WHEN CHARGING THE UNIT,
ONLY USE THE CHARGERS PROVIDED BY INFODRAW. DO NOT CHARGE THIS UNIT
WITH ANY HIGHER VOLTAGE THAN 5V. THIS MAY CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE INTERNAL
DAMAGE TO THE UNIT’S HARDWARE COMPONENTS.
Never use a damaged charger to charge the device.
When configuring the unit:
The PMRS-100 unit has to be configured prior to operation and later on as well. The
configurations are done using the Device Configurator Application on any PC,
through the USB Cable provided. MAKE SURE THAT ANY SIM CARD IN THE UNIT IS
REMOVED BEFORE CONFIGURING THE UNIT THROUGH THE USB CABLE.
Using the unit’s Dip Switches:
The PMRS-100 Unit has 4 Dip Switches used for setup and operation, located on the
side of the unit. The functions of each dip switch can be found in the Dip Switch
section of the Unit Hardware Interfaces chapter in this manual. Make sure you
understand the functions of each dip switch, prior to using the unit.
When installing the unit in a vehicle:
Only use Infodraw Chargers to charge the PMRS-100 Unit. Non-Infodraw chargers
are not covered by the 1 Year Limited Warranty.
When installing custom 12V Power Outlets directly into vehicle batteries, please
ensure that this is done by a qualified, experienced Auto Electrician.
Disposal and Recycling:
Please ensure this product is recycled in an environmentally friendly way. You must dispose
of the PMRS-100 device properly according to local laws and regulations. As the PMRS-100
device contains electronic components and a lithium battery, it must be disposed of
separately from household waste. When the PMRS-100 device reaches the end of its life,
contact local authorities to learn about disposal and recycling options.

PMRS units, which can stream 1 video
channel, 1 audio channel and GPS location
over the cellular network or LAN to the
MRS server.
1-3 Introduction:
The Infodraw PMRS-100 unit is a portable handheld multimedia streaming and monitoring
system from the field. It allows users to stream live video/audio/location from anywhere
over wireless cellular networks (3G/ HSPA/ EDGE/ GPRS) or (LAN) and can be monitored and
controlled from any location upon alarm/ request. The media streaming is done using PMRS
units which can be carried handheld or located either on mobile vehicles or fixed locations.
The units can be monitored remotely from fixed/mobile control centres, mobile
phones/PDAs or an internet web client.
1-4 System Components:
The system consists of the following components:
MRS Server, which communicates with
units and clients.
MRS Clients, which communicate with
the server and have viewing and control
capabilities for all connected units, as
defined by the server.

1-5 System Architecture:
The system has 2 major architectures:
Server Based Architecture (recommended). This architecture is based on a server
with a fixed IP address. Multiple units can communicate with the server as well as
multiple clients. All clients are connected to the server only and have viewing and
control capabilities.
P2P (Peer to Peer) Architecture. In this configuration, the server coordinates a
signal from the unit directly to the client without stopping at the server. This
architecture is ideal for servers that have low bandwidth capabilities. However, it
should only be used if a single client at one time is viewing the connected unit(s). If
multiple clients are required, then Option 1 –Server Based Architecture is
recommended.
