I. BRIEF INTRODUCTION
C ntainer Tracking System utilizes the GPS and GPRS functi ns in ne unit. Y u can
m nit r the c ntainer r the vehicle l cati n and set the system rem tely. In additi n,
the unit will send event rep rt if any trigger ccurs.
The standard rep rt sent by the unit includes the inf rmati n: (1) unit’s ID, (2) status,
(3) time, (4) GPS’s latitude and l ngitude, (5) speed, (6) directi n, (7) battery level,
(8)device’s status, (9) event number, and (10) rep rt c nfigurati n parameters.
The rep rting m de can be categ rized as ‘n rmal’ m de, and ‘p wer saving’ m de. In
n rmal m de, the GPS will always be activated while m ving, and it can be shut ff the
GPS when st p (f r p wer saving purp se). T enable the maximum p wer saving,
user can ch se “p wer saving m de”. In this m de, the GPS will be activated nly
when there is a rep rt t send while m ving. The rep rt parameters can be set fr m the
PC setup pr gram. CTS100 can be set t g in sleep m de (while n t m ving); the
system will cut the p wer f GPS m dule in rder t save p wer. With build-in 3-D
accelerati n sens r, CTS100 can select related rep rting m des with respect t it is
m ving r n t.
The device has built-in 4 circular, 5 rectangular and 20 p int Ge -fence; it will send the
rep rt t the server if the Ge -fence event is triggered.
The UNIT must be initialized by PC setup pr gram in rder t make c mmunicati n
with the rem te server /call center. There are f ur main secti ns that all w users t
pr gram the device, (1) User detail (Device ID, server IP, and p rt, GPRS APN….) (2)
Ge -fence (4 circular, 5 rectangular and 20 p int Ge -fence) (3) Rep rt (Time,
Distance, speed, L w battery …) (4)Trigger rep rt(Tamper, D r)
When there is n GPRS service r the server cl se. The unit will send sh rt message t
the preset number. The max number f SMS message (m nthly usage) and the
m nthly renew date can be set fr m the pc setup pr gram r the rem te setup
pr gram. Only 1 SMS number can be set. The rep rts sent via the SMS will be ut again
via GPRS after a valid GPRS c nnecti n is made.
CTS100 can be c nfigured by the PC setup pr gram r the Over-the-Air (OTA)
c mmands / r rem te pr gram. The unit can c mmunicate with the server via UDP r
TCP pr t c l. The pr t c l can be selected fr m the PC-setup pr gram r rem te
server c mmands.
Flash mem ry f r rec rding rep rts up t 900 rep rts. It can be read ut fr m the PC
setup pr gram via serial p rt.
Using built-in real time cl ck t identify the rep rt time, when GPS signal is l st. Hence,
if the rep rt is received with “LAST KNOWN” message, the time in the rep rt will be the
real time cl ck, but the GPS p siti n will be the last kn wn valid GPS p siti n.
Three LED indicate the status f the system:
