2.0 OVERVIEW
The AIO3.0 tracking device is one of several device types along with proprietary mapping
software that make up Presidio’s asset tracking solution. A tracking device can be quickly and
covertly attached to a vehicle or other asset that one wishes to track. The devices receive and
send GPS coordinates and command and control messages to the mapping applications which in
turn provide the user Georeferenced addresses plotted on Google maps. All messages are
transferred using the AT&T wireless network
2.1 AIO3.0 AGENT HARDWARE
The AIO3.0 tracking device consists of a small Black PC/ABS plastic enclosure that can be covertly
installed on a vehicle or other asset which provides latitude and longitude position data to a proprietary
mapping applications using theAT&T GSM network.
The tracking device utilizes the newest technology in wireless modules, integrated GPS and cellular
antennas, an internal Li-Ion rechargeable battery and a specially designed proprietary
microcontroller to manage battery and modes or operation. The device is designed with an
internal rechargeable Li-ion battery for short deployments and can operate with an external
battery pack for extended operation times and also has I/O connectivity capability that allows
the user to manage or monitor external events. The devices are capable of surviving and
functioning while exposed to environmental conditions(heat, humidity, dirt, rocks), power
interruptions, vibration, and shock that are common invehicleandobscureinstallationlocations. The
unit has an operating temperature range of -40 degrees to +70 degrees centigrade. Figure 1 represents
an overall block diagram of the AIO3.0 tracking device and Figure 2 and 3 shows the hardware.

AIO3.0 User’s Manual PRES058-150422 REV 4
The microcontroller firmware within the AIO3.0 implements the operating modes requested by the
Mapping application and can independently collect, store and transmit data. It monitors and performs
the following functions:
a) The flow of data to and from the wireless modem andGPS receiver
b) Communications to and from the USB serial link,
c) LED status and switch monitoring
d) Power and motion detection monitoring
Figure2–AIO3Tracking Device
The AIO3 enclosure is a PC/ABS plastic material thatprovides protectiontothesubassemblies.The
enclosure includes On/Off and Status push button switches and three status LED’s. The LED’s indicate
the GPS status(navigating no navigating), networkstatus and the on/off stateof the device. The device
includesa secondaryenclosure that provides an IP68 rated enclosure along with magnetsused for
attaching the deviceto a vehicle.
There is an integrated connector which allows the device to be electrically connected to an
external battery pack or user defined I/O type devices.
The AIO3.0 AGenT microcontroller board includes a microprocessor aTelitHE910wirelessmodem
alongwith memory, a3 axis accelerometer and power management logic.
The Telit wireless module include a GPS receiver that outputs standard NMEA 0183 messages and
operates at L1 (1575.42 MHz) frequency. The battery back-up for the almanac retention is supplied
by the on board powermanagement design. Both the GPS and the wireless modem can be power
managed to turn on/off independent of each other for maximum battery life.

3.0 SYSTEMOPERATIONS
The following paragraphs describe how to test, set-up and operate each device. Following these
procedures ensures that the device is fully operational after the device is installed.
a) Prior to installation in a vehicle, the device should be checked for serviceability. This should
begin with a thorough inspection of the exterior of the tracking device housing. The housing
should have no significant signs of damage such as dents or cracks. There should be no sign
of water leakage into the housing.
b) The device should be fully charged prior to deployment. The AIO3.0 connects to a
standard USB connection on a PC and provides the capability to charge the internal
battery. See the figures below to gain access to the USB charging port.
c) When charging the Status LED will be RED indicating the battery is being charge. If the
LED does not illuminate when connected to the USB port this indicates the battery is
fully charged or that there may be a problem with the USB connection to the PC.
d) Press and hold the Power On/Off button for a brief (1 second) period until the Power
LED turns on. The LED will illuminate sold and then start to flash from a fast to slow

rate for several seconds. The LED will turn off which indicates the unit is on.
e) Press andHold the Status Button for a minimum of 5 seconds. Afterthe button is releasedthe3
status LED’s will indicate the device status as shown below. The LED’s will indicate status for
up to 5 minutes and then all LED’s will go out. The device is still on and operational though no
LED’s are illuminated.

After confirmingthedevice is fullyfunctional select an intended installation location that will assurethe
device can be securelyfastened to the vehicle and that the device has theleast obstructed view of thesky.
Thedevice comes withan auxiliarymountingcase that comes withinternalmagnets that will support
most installations. For those cases where a magnet will not secure the device one can use tie-wraps or
whateverother appropriate means tosecure the deviceto the vehicle. The installation location isvehicle
dependent however care should be taken that the GPs andCellular antennas must be located facing away
from themounting structure. Position the GPS antenna (Side with the three LED’s) so that it is not
obstructedwith metal. Someinstallation locationsmayrequire thatthe devicebepointingtowards the
ground.
3.1.2 Non-Vehicle Installations
As above, confirm thedevice is fullyfunctional before installation. Installation locations are based on the
asset structure and the same careshould be taken to provide the least amount ofobstruction to the GPS and
Cellular antennas withinthedevice. Do not install thedevice withina total metal containerorstructure.
3.2 OPERATING PROCEDURES
After the Device has been set-up, tested, and installed it is monitored and controlled by the mapping
application. Refer to the Map AGenT Users Guide for complete operating and tracking
functions of the AIO3.0.
3.3 PROBLEM PROCEDURES
There are no user servable parts within the AIO3.0 device. It is imperative that the device be tested prior
to deployment to ensure the unit is fully functional. If the AIO3.0 fails during deployment confirm the
device is powered on and that the batteryis charged. If so tryto communicate with it usingthe mapping
application, if you are successful than most likely the installation location may have caused the unit to
notfunctionproperly. Select a new installationlocation and test unit as necessary.
3.4 MALFUNCTIONING GPS
If duringdeployment the devicedoes not report a navigation report and it isknown to haveworked prior
to deployment then in mostcases the GPS antennais blockedandthe unit cannot receive adequatesignal
to calculateposition. Several external factors can cause thisissuewhich mayor maynot be resolved
once the vehicle moves from its current position. If the device continues to not report position data then
the device has malfunctioned and it should be removed and returned to Presidio for evaluation and/or
repair.

3.5 INTERNAL BATTERY NON-FUNCTIONAL
If the Device’s internal battery does not function than the device will not work. Press the power
ON/OFF button and confirm the state of the Power Status LED. Refer to the table above to
determine the device status based on the LED’s.
3.6 AFTER USE CARE
After a Device has been removed from an installation it should be cleaned, inspected and plugged
into a USB port to recharge the internal battery.
