GPS&GPRS CAR ALARM GT3200ST

1
I. INTRODUCTION
GPS GPRS Tracking and Alarm System utilize the GPS and car alarm functions in one unit. You can
monitor the vehicle location and control the car alarm remotely. In addition, the unit will send event report if
any trigger occurs. It has built-in 8 outputs and 9 inputs to perform essential alarm functions.
1.1 Report structure
The standard report sent by the unit includes the information: (1) unit’s ID, (2) status, (3) time, (4)GPS’s
latitude and longitude, (5)speed, (6) direction, (7)temperature, (8)device’s status, (9)event number, and (10)
report configuration parameters.
(1) Unit’s ID: each device has its own unique ID and must be registered in the server in order to perform
monitoring or controlling.
(2) Status: ‘A’ mean the number of satellite is more than 4 or equal to 4; ‘B’ mean the number of satellite is
equal to 3, ‘L’ mean the number of satellite is less than 3.
(3) Time: report time in Greenwich Mean time zone.
(4) GPS’s latitude and longitude.
(5) Speed: in km/H
(6) Direction: in degree to the North.
(7) Temperature: in Celsius. If the temperature is not connected, ‘NA’ will be shown in this field.
(8) Device’s status: there are 32 states to represent the I/O and working modes for the both the device and
the build in alarm.
(9) Event number: all the generated reports will include a unique event number to indicate why it has been
sent.
(10)Report configuration parameters: user can remotely change the report configuration, and the
configuration parameters will be shown in this field.
1.2 Report Setup
GT3200ST must be initialized by PC setup program in order to make communication with the remote server
/call center. There are seven main sections that allow users to program the device, (1) User detail (Device ID,
server IP, and port, SMS number, GPRS APN…) (2) In-built Geofence definition (up to 5 circular, 5
rectangular and 20 point Geofence shapes can be set in the device) (3) Local Report setting (Time, Distance,
Intelligent mode, Temperature, Low battery, Course change…) (4) Roam Report setting (Time, Distance,
Intelligent mode, Temperature, Low battery, Course change…) (5) ALARM report (to enable or disable the
event generated by the inputs or build in ALARM, e.g. ACC, DOOR, ALARM...) (6)Roam alarm setting
(Sleep mode, internal alarm report, external alarm report..) (7) Roam setting (Roaming GPRS mode select,
prefer operators setting, compress setting…) Those data is saved in device’s EEPROM and will not be lost
even if the power is failure.
Note that the device ID, GPRS APN name, GPRS login name and password need to be set in initial PC setup
in order to make the connection to the server. All the reports configuration or Geofence setup can be
changed at anytime via over the air commands.
The automatic reporting mode can be categorized as ‘time’ report, ‘distance’ report, or ‘time & velocity’
report. User can choose the reporting mode and related parameters via the PC setup program or the remote
sever.

2
The event trigger report is also configurable. User can turn on or off any event generated report from the PC
setup program or via the air command. The event triggered report include (1) In-vehicle Door close/open (2)
In-vehicle ignition on/off (3) Temperature range in/out the preset range (4) In-vehicle shock sensor trigger.
The build in alarm (optional) trigger reports are also configurable and can be set from PC setup program or
air command.
The server can not only configure the device just like the PC setup program does, but it also can send the
command to control the device. The server can control both the device and the build in alarm.
1.3 Geofence function
The device has built-in 30 Geofence sets (1 immediate geofence, 4 circular, 5 rectangular and 20 point), it
will send the report to the server if the Geofence event is triggered. User can setup the Geofence area from
the PC setup program or sending the define.
A unique immediate Geofence function:
‘Immediate-Geofence function’ is a circular type Geofence which can be activated or deactivated from a
single button. When activated, the system will record the current position and use the pre-defined radius as a
circular Geofence to guard the vehicle. If the vehicle moves out of the preset Geofence zone, a report will be
generated to the server. User can deactivate the self-Geofence at any time by pressing the button again. If the
GPS cannot be located when the Immediate Geofence function is been executed, GT3200ST will used the
last known position as the origin of the circular Geofence zone to perform the protection.
1.4 Store and forward ability
When there is no GPRS service or the server close. The unit will send short message to the server if defined
SMS number. All the stored report will be forward to the server when GPRS connection is completed next
time.
1.5 TCP and UDP socket support
GT3200ST supports both UDP and TCP socket communication. The server IP, port number and socket type
can be selected from the PC-setup program or remote server command. In addition, the connection can be
swap over to any server IP or port (either UDP or TCP) via the air command.
1.6 The server can send the command to control the device and the build in alarm.
Command for in-vehicle control:
We design 7 commands which can be integrated into the server, so that the users can control their vehicles.
Those commands are: (1) Door lock, (2) Door unlock, (3) Arming, (4) Panic, (5) Enable anti-car jacking, (6)
Emergency release, (7) Trunk output
Notes:
1. Arming (this command is valid only if when ACC is off): If ACC Off, Server send arming command.
The door will lock and the Engine will be Disable starter (if the starter cut relay connected), after the
unit received the command.
2. Panic: (can be performed at any time) If Server send panic command, the horn will sound and parking
lights will flash for 30 seconds after the unit received the command.
3. Enable anti-car jacking: (can be performed at any time) If Server send anti-car jacking command, the
system will enter anti-carjacking mode after the unit received the command. Enter the anti-carjacking

3
mode, the first 30 seconds countdown, The horn will sound once and parking lights will flash once
every 10 seconds, after 30 seconds, horn will sound once and parking lights will flash once every 5
seconds, 30 seconds later, horn will sound and parking lights will flash once every 1 second. 60
seconds later, engine will not be able to start again (if starter cut relay connected).
4. Emergency release: (can be performed at any time) If Server send Emergency release command while
at Arming mode, panic mode, anti-car jacking mode. Then system will exit ‘Arming’ ‘Anti-carjacking’
‘Panic’ mode. The ‘Arming’, ‘parking light’ and ‘horn’ outputs will back to normal (Disarm) status.

For long periods of inactivity user have the options to set the unit in sleep mode this will enable the unit to
save electric power.
GT3200ST Can go to sleep mode when ACC goes off, Shock-sensor not be trigger for 5minuts and this
feature is configurable. “GPS” can be power off. User can setup the automatically wakeup time during the
sleep mode to ensure the device is working. The system can send out a diagnostic report to the server after
waking up.

4
During the sleep mode, if any of the inputs are triggered, the system will wake up and send relevant reports
to the server. The input triggers for waking the device up are selectable. When ACC is on, the system will
back to working mode and stay connected to the TCP/UDP server in GPRS network.
1.15 2-STAGE SHOCK SENSOR (Optional)
If car is lightly vibrated, siren will sound five times and parking light will flash five times to warn. If car
receives a heavy shock, siren will sound and parking light will flash for 30 seconds.

over speed and report send or ignore
For example, if resend interval is 20 sec, enter over speed delay time is 20 sec, threshold speed is 110Km/h
and exit over speed delay time is 2 sec.
If vehicle speed over threshold speed 20seconds, system will send speed over report once interval 20 sec
until exit speed over delay time 2 sec, the over speed report will stop to send. If alert when over speed has
configured, then it will alert when speed over.
(12) Crash report
Parameters: on/off, and speed

17
You can select the crash report to be sent or not, while crash sensor over a preset value.(The crash sensor
must be fit up, or the report still be ignored even if you select the item.) Otherwise the report will be ignored.
(13) Tilt report
Parameters: on/off, and degree
If ACC off, then crash-sensor will work (if the Tangent angle sensor connected). crash-sensor can detect the
little angle change. If the car be shake, then the crash-sensor will be triggered. And crash-sensor will wake
up the system.
(14) GPRS dial-up procedure
1) GPRS always on-line
Parameters: Reconnect interval
While using this mode, when the unit can not searched GPRS signal, system will reconnect GPRS interval a
preset value. (e.g.: 1minute)
2) Base on report mode
Parameters: Max. reconnect times, reconnect interval
While using this mode, the unit will connect to the server when there is a report to send. If the first
connection is failed, it will retry to connect to the server up to the max. reconnect times. Each retry will be
separated by the reconnect “interval”.
3) GPRS connect once
While using this mode, the unit will connect to the server when there is a report to send (but only try once).
If it is not successful, the report will be stored and sent out in the next successful connection. Disconnect
GPRS connection when report sending is completed.
4) Reduce GPRS dialup method
Parameters: On/Off, Max. reconnect times, connect delay
If this method is used, the unit will reduce the GPRS dial-up connection when the dial-up is failed after
number of times. User can define the delay time for the unit before try to reconnect to the server. If there is
trigger report, the unit will connect to server immediately.
(14)Keep alive procedure
Parameters: On/Off, and interval / retry times. In order to keep connection in GPRS network, the unit can be
set to send short keep alive report to the server in order to prevent the disconnection from the mobile service
provider.
Send reports after a successful keep alive ACK. Parameters: On/Off.
If you select this function, all the reports will only be sent out after a successful keep alive ACK. (So if your

18
keep alive time is shorter then select this function will be OK.) This function is very useful while using UDP
to prevent report lost.
Send a keep alive packet right before a due reports if no data stream within certain time: Parameters: On/Off,
and idle time.
Some GSM provider might cut connection, if there is no data within certain time. It might result report lost
in this “fake connection” duration. For example, you can set parameters in this region, ex 20 mins. (it means
if the unit did not send any data in this 20 mins (including keep alive or normal reports) ), then it will send a
keep alive packet to check if the GPRS connection is valid or not. If not, it will actively reconnect to GPRS
network.
Special command for SMS mode:
If the GT3200ST is not in the GPRS online status, user can send command &&Y02 or &&Y04 to ask unit to
connect to server. This command can be sent from any device via SMS;
&&Y02:
When received this command, system will actively try to connect to server in next 600 seconds.
&&Y04,[connection time],[report interval]:
For example: &&Y04, 3600, 60
When received this command, system will connect to server in the next 3600 seconds, and send one
report out every 60 seconds.
4. [Roam report]

19
All the roam reports configured are same as Local report.
Send: report will send out immediately if generation
Local: report will save if generation, it will send out by local network
Ignore: cancel reports.
