However, as this document contains basic device configuration only, please see the CAREU UCAN Protocol Document for the advanced information. 1.3 About CAREU UCAN Designed with the latest GPS technology, the CAREU UCAN delivers positioning message by GSM wireless transmission to GIS platform, and then helps back-end users proceed with the analysis and the applications of vehicle transport, management, anti-theft, security and tracking. A microcontroller can probe location and command data at regular intervals, derive actions from location, peripheral and control data, and execute such actions. Peripheral data indicates the status of various peripherals connected to and/or controlled by the device. Among the best features of the CAREU UCAN Vehicle Tracker, in particular, they transmit data in ASCII mode (Intellitrac X Series compatible mode) or binary mode. Chapter 1 1 CAREU UCAN - User Guide The firmware in the device applies intelligent filtering to overcome coverage limitations for both GPS and GSM/GPRS networks. Motion sensor controls the status of the device, whether in sleep, idle or fully-powered mode, and thereby controls the amount of current consumed by the device. The device supports over-the-air firmware upgrade to deliver additional functionality without physically touching the device once installed. 1.4 Hardware Architecture As hardware is concerned, the CAREU UCAN is comprised of a micro-controller, regulator, GPS receiver, GSM/GPRS modem, G-Force sensor, flash memory data storage. Users can connect PC's Hyper Terminal to the diagnostic setting port for the AVL configuration. G-Sensor is for car accident prevention, car tow-away warning and power management.
