1 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Vega MT X CAN device is designed for monitoring of vehicles by the using of GLONASS/GPS
positioning systems including the determination of vehicle placement, speed, and motion direction as well
as for transmitting of collected data through GSM.
Vega MT X uses the processor with a supporting up to three CAN-buses that allows to get a full
information about vehicle.
The vehicle route is recorded as individual points in time (track). Along with the track, information is
recorded coming into the device from internal and external sensors, as well as from an additional
equipment. Non-volatile memory allows to store information about events and statuses of the device in the
absence of power supply. Support of several servers allows to send information about vehicle status on the
four servers simultaneously.
You can configure the device by SMS commands or through the “Configurator” application while the
device connected with USB or by the air with TCP connection. Application also allows update a firmware
and carry out the finest tuning such as operation scenarios for external equipment or CAN bus, features of
fixing, recording, and transmitting of packets and many other. You can download application on the site in
“Software” section and there is a Manual for work with “Configurator”. Go to the program page.
FUNCTIONALITY
Vega MT X CAN provide the next functionality:
Wialon IPS, Wialon Combine, EGTS, NDTP, VEGA protocols supporting
Simultaneous operation with four servers through any of supported protocol
Device activity can be programming by the “Scenarios” function (up to 25 scripts)
Configuration through GPRS, USB, SMS
Firmware updating through GPRS, USB
Remotely configuring and monitoring of status through free engineer server
Driver identification by the I-Button keys
Temperature control at the engine compartment and the car salon with an external 1-Wire
sensors
