Confidential Document Doc. Title ST4955 Concerning Features and How to set parameters Author SE PARK Doc. No. Page of Pages 4 of 9 Rev. Date 27 NOV 2016 1.01 1. Introduction The ST4955 is a asset tracker for a vehicle. It is designed to collect location data through GPS technology and interact remotely with its server by using GPRS/HSPA technology. In order to make the vehicle tracking system work, device should be configured and installed properly on a vehicle whose geographical position and/or state is desired to be remotely monitored and/or controlled. Please note that this Operation Manual is for the standard model. In case specific requirements are incorporated into this Manual, such a manual applies only for the case. For overall operation including installation, in addition to the Device Manual, users should refer to other documents such as Parameter Manual, Commands Manual, Reporting Manual and so on. 2. Overview Main function of device installed on a vehicle is to report vehicle location and status to its monitoring server at predefined interval and to deliver command coming from the server for activating any appliance connected to the device. 2-1. Operation modes The device works in one of the two (2) operation modes below. Parking mode:
This mode is operational when MOTION is OFF for duration longer than the pre-defined time or motion sensor is disabled. Driving mode:
Suntech International Ltd. Confidential Document Doc. Title ST4955 Concerning Features and How to set parameters Author SE PARK Doc. No. Page of Pages 5 of 9 Rev. Date 27 NOV 2016 1.01 This mode starts when MOTION is ON for duration longer than the pre-defined time. 2-2. Reports sent by device There are 2 types of report/response sent by device to the server as follows:
Status Report Alerts Report 2-3. Parameter change Parameters which have already been set on the device can be changed via GPRS/HSPA or via SMS or via RS232 connected with PC if a user needs to do so. Some controlling functions can also be implemented in the same way. 2-4. Features Key features of the ST4955 device are as follows:
- Unifed Protocol Support standard report format fixed to all models. Customer can select only the data they want from the data included in the report, so that they can configure their own report format.
- Power Saving The device can save power consumption of the battery according to options. ( motion sensor and tracking time )
- LED Indicators The LEDs indicate GPRS/HSPA and GPS status. It is helpful to check what error(s) and why such an error has occurred. Please refer to Chapter 3-1
- Maintenance server support Upgrading Firmware by Over The Air (Firmware OTA)
- Alerting Battery Low & Shutdown Device sends an alert or will be shutdown when a battery voltage is lower than pre-defined. Suntech International Ltd. Confidential Document Doc.

1. If SIM PUK is enabled. 3-2. Power Saving Device turns off GPS and GPRS/HSPA part except for time to send report. All communication with the server is impossible and it cannot receive any SMS messages. If GPRS/HSPA wake up for sending report, will be respond to message received. 3-3. Turn On/Off
- Turn ON If you put a magnet on sensor position for more than 2 seconds, the device will be turned on. Then Red and blue LEDs blink together twice. When the power is on, Red LED will be light for 3 seconds.
- Turn OFF If you put a magnet on sensor position for more than 2 seconds when device turned on, the device will be turned off. Then Red LED only blink six(6) times. When the power is off, Red LED will be blink once a second. 3-4. Storage of Reports un-sent Device has maximum storage capacity of the un-sent reports in such cases as follows:
2,000 reports (**), Suntech International Ltd. Confidential Document Doc. Title ST4955 Concerning Features and How to set parameters Author SE PARK Doc. No. Page of Pages 8 of 9 Rev. Date 27 NOV 2016 1.01 Note (**):
Due to bad report-routing environment, device could not make a real-time based reporting. For example, the reporting router does neither run properly, is nor connected properly. In such a situation there might be a report which has consequently failed to arrive in the server successfully after making several attempts to send the report to the server. In that case, the device stores such a report for a while until such environment
(e.g. GPRS/HSPA network) gets back to normal to enable the device to try to send the report to the server again. When reports start being accumulated, max 2000 reports can be hold in the buffer storage of the device. If those reports are triggered out to the server, the oldest report is erased first and a new report is buffered if the buffer is completely full of those reports. And then, a new status report enters (FIFO: First In First Out as a sequential system). Rev. No. Date Rev. 1.00 2020-04-22 Modifications were made on:
