Buffered GPS message feature Geo-fencing (helps secure devices within a defined location) You can configure Novatel Wireless M2M MT 4000 to send GPS messages to a remote user (server) when a device enters or exits a geo-fenced area. Configure the geo-fence feature with 2 AT Commands: AT$GEOFNC and AT$EVENT.
Indicates power to the GPS module. LED is on ~1 second after powered on and the GPS module is PWR: operational. LED is off when powered off or when the MT 4000 enters Low-Power Sleep mode. Note: If you disable the GPS module, you must apply power for this LED to turn on.
22 Pin IO Connector The 22-Pin I/O Connector provides the following functionality: Pin # User Name Description Ear (-) Ear Phone - Note: This is an output only that is connected directly to the modem.

1-Wire Application Note (ENF0000AN018). Power The MT 4000 accepts 9-32 VDC with a minimum of 2 amps input power, which allows you to use the device on both 12 V and 24 V vehicles per SAE specifications. This also protects 24 V vehicles when you need to jump-start them.
Battery Disconnect Use the MT 4000 Battery Disconnect Switch to remove battery power to the device (battery models only). Move the switch toward the dot to turn the battery on. Move the switch away from the dot to turn the battery off.
If the switch remains in the ON position with no external power applied for an extended period of time, this may cause the battery to significantly lose its charging capabilities. Accelerometer The MT 4000 has two three-axis digital accelerometers, which provide the following features: Motion reporting Accelerometer assisted towing alert Driver behavior reporting...
Novatel Wireless M2M sales representative. Garmin Fleet Management Interface (GFMI) GFMI provides the MT 4000 with a Wireless Network back-end to allow the Garmin Portable Navigation Device (PND) to communicate with a server. Garmin has defined and published the GFMI Control Specification. The GFMI defines the message protocol that is supported by the PND over the 9600 baud serial line.
SIM Card Access The MT 4000 includes an on-board SIM carrier. There is no external access to the SIM. SIM Installation procedures include: Opening the Device Inserting the SIM Closing the Device Opening The Device To prevent damaging the device, use the Metal Lever (Novatel Wireless M2M part number K1T2418) when opening the MT 4000.
Inserting The SIM To insert the SIM (GSM/GPRS models only), follow these steps: The MT 4000 device does not come with a SIM card.. You must obtain the SIM from the GSM/GPRS service provider and have it provisioned for data by the operator.
Figure 3-4 MT 4000 SIM Holder with SIM Installed (Lower Left) 3. Replace the cover as described in the next section. Closing The Device To replace the MT 4000 cover, follow these steps: 1. Insert the PCB Assembly into the Housing. The GPS antenna should face the Label side of the Housing.
Device Installation The MT 4000 case includes molded anchor points for mounting as shown in the figure below. Always mount the device with the correct side facing skyward as shown in the figure below. Ground should be connected first. Failure to connect ground to the MT 4000 before connecting auxiliary devices may result in damage to the attached I/O device.
Device Mounting The MT 4000 case includes molded anchor points for mounting as shown in the figure below. Always mount the device with the correct side facing skyward as shown in the figure below. To ensure proper accelerometer operation, you must securely mount the MT 4000.
Mounting Bracket 1. Secure mounting bracket to desired mounting surface using one of the following methods: three (3) # 6 screws cable ties of 0.19” wide (4.75 mm) double-sided tape 2. Insert device into mounting bracket with the connector end at the mount opening. The device can be inserted label side up or down.

Configuring The Modem Use the following instructions to configure the Novatel Wireless M2M modem to communicate with the Novatel Wireless M2M test server using UDP. First, consider the following: Most configurations are Mobile Originate only. A mobile modem initiates a conversation with a remote server before it can talk to the modem.
Page 38
GPRS Registration Information which includes the APN (Access Point Name) Username, and Password (if applicable) should come from the service provider of the SIM. Example: APN = isp.cingular or public IP Username (If necessary) Username = ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM Password (If necessary) Password = CINGULAR1 The following commands listed below are how the GPRS registration information should be programmed into the device.
Step 4: Configure the modem to talk to the Novatel Wireless M2M Test Server. This example will use the following information: --Modem ID/name = “My_MT_Test” --Remote Server IP address = http://apitest.nvtl.com/UDPAPP/ --Remote Server IP port = 1721 The following commands listed below are how the device should be programmed to communicate with the Novatel Wireless M2M Test server.
