It is primarily a location reporting device that responds to requests (user, server) and events (timers, geo-fences). Data reports consist of a single record that contains all location data and system status. The device comes pre-configured from the factory. It is ready to use. ThePN-

GPS GPS location functionality is provided by the device GPS receiver. NMEA GPS records can be extracted in real time from the unit via the UART connection using special debug commands that are outside the scope of this document. 4 GPIO One dedicated input, two dedicated outputs, and one general purpose IO are presentedtotheexternalenvironmentonthemainconnector. They are capable of providing system interrupts to generate are port or drive logic levels to external devices. These lines are 2.8V logical velandare16V tolerant. These pins default to input and are pulled down representing 0 when disconnected. They should be asserted to a known value if used.

They are closely based on commands that are as similar as possible industry common devices and are essentially subsets of standard PN-G commands. Native AT commands supported by the Mediatek 2503 chipset are also available via the serial and USB interfaces. 3.5 Acked Mode UDPisnota100%reliableconnectionandoccasionalreports orcommand/responsesmaybe lost.Sinceallcommandshaveresponses,theservercanrepeatanycommandto whichthereis noresponse.Inordertoassurereliablereceptionofreports,PN-Gdevicescanbeconfigured eitherinNormalorAckedmodetosendthereports.IntheNormalmodethereportsaresimply sentasis withnoacknowledgmentfromtheserver.IntheAckedmodeeveryreportsentis expectedtobeacknowledged bytheserverbysendingbackanACKmessageback.If acknowledgementisnotreceivedwithinthespecifiedtimeout,thereportisre-sent.Ifthereport isnotacknowledgedafterthespecifiednumberofattempts,itisqueued.Ifacknowledgement isreceivedafterthereportisqueued(i.e.pasttimeoutofthelastattempt),itisignored. Report is not considered complete until its acknowledgement is received. Thus, if report X is sent and report X+1 is triggered while waiting for acknowledgement of X, report X+1 will be queued until such acknowledgement is received and only then sent. The PN-G will attempt to re-send queued report(s) every time a new report is triggered. If there is more than one report queued, the reports will attempt to be sent in the order of triggering and only once the report is acknowledged, the next report is attempted. This assures that reports are sent and received in order Ackedmodeassuresthatallreports arereceived,butaddsoverheadintimeanddata.Report thatisnotacknowledgedissentagainandeventuallywillbequeuedandsentagain.Thenumber andfrequencyofre-triesisconfigurableviatheReportAcknowledgement command. 3.6 Event Report Format Reportsareencoded as binaryhex.It is also echoed to the debug UART in ASCII format. 3.7Reset Thereareanumberofresetsavailableonthedevice.Softresetonlyrestartsthesoftware runningonthedevice.Hardresetiscausedbyresettingthewholebasband moduleviaareset pin.ThereisalsoanoptiontoresettheGPSand the cellular sub-systemsindividually. 8 3.7.1 Context Preservation Whenaself-initiated resetisperformeddue toNetworkWatchdog orbytheResetcommand

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
