1.2 Report Setup GST8000 must be initialized by PORTMAN PC setup program in order to make communication with the remote server /call center. There are 9 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 1 self geofence, 4 circular geofence,...

(5) Alarm setup (to enable or disable the event generated by the inputs or external alarm, e.g. ignition, DOOR, ALARM...) (6) Roam Alarm setup (to enable or disable the event generated by the inputs or external alarm, e.g.

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, GST8000 will used the last known position as the origin of the circular Geofence zone to perform the protection.

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. GST8000 Can go to sleep mode when ignition goes off, TL-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.

Select the correct COM port number, then “reset” the unit by pressing the reset button, and next click “OK”. Note that: it is necessary to power on and reset the PORTMAN device soon after click the “ok” button. PC setup program will detect the hardware for 60 seconds. If no hardware is detected, it will exit.

C. MAIN INTERFACE 1. [User detail:] If the SIM card is password protected, user can input the “SIM PIN” window to set password of SIM Card. Set UNIT ID and UNIT password of for the device. Note: Device ID length does not more than 4-characters, otherwise SBD compressed packet will more than 30 bytes, and communication data fee is double.
Page 10
Set Access Point Name (APN), User Name, Password. The maximum length of the APN, User name and Password is 49 characters. TCP/UDP address and Port number of the remote server being set, UNIT will send report to these address. Note that only one TCP or UDP server will be used at the same time. To select enable or disable local GPRS/SMS or Roam GPRS/SMS Set the SMS Number of the user.

If “ID card control start kill enable” was selected, the unit will disarm by ID-card only or emergency release. “Initialize ” button: clear all data in UNIT. Request All: read out the whole existing setting from GST8000. Request: read out the setting in the current page. Apply: transfer the setting to GST8000 in the current pages.

in order to make the connection. If the report sending using GPRS connection fails, the report will be sent to the ‘primary’ SMS number first. The report will be resent, when the GPRS connection becomes available. 2. [Geofence:] Four Circular Geofence and one self-geofence: Circular Geofence must set origin and radius: Origin format :N2446.5321E12120.4231;...

Parameters: report time when moving, report time when stop, threshold speed, send stop report after a preset value and to choose the reports send or ignore. Report when speed less than a preset value (refer the following 1.5 Km/Hr), and it will send stop report after the preset time (refer the following 120Sec).

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.

8. [SBD setting] IMEI: Any operate with ‘request or request all’ after GPRS power on, the module series number will display automatically, otherwise it displayed with space. This report is special for satellite module. It is different to intelligent report defined in common report setting.
Page 28
This report is special for satellite module. It is different to fix time report defined in common report setting. This report only work when no GSM coverage. Attention: because consumption with satellite is different to GPRS/SMS. Pay attention to report frequency. This report is special for satellite module.
