MPTP MESSAGES AND REMOTE CONFIGURATION (OTA) 7

PART A: CONFIGURING SETTINGS FOR THE TRACKBOX

PART A: CONFIGURING

SETTINGS FOR THE TRACKBOX

There are two ways to configure settings for the Trackbox:

•You can use MPTP commands and transfer settings

remotely, over the air by sending a protocol message to

the device.

•You can use the Benefon Configurator software for

configuring settings and transfer them to the device

locally, via the BWTrackbox data/NMEA cable. The

BwTrackbox cable must be purchased separately, it is not

included in the Trackbox sales package.

- Benefon Configurator is compatible with Trackbox 2.1

versions starting from GSM 2.Jxxxxx and IOB 040326

- Benewin Trackbox software is compatible with former

Trackbox versions.

MPTP MESSAGES AND

REMOTE CONFIGURATION (OTA)

MPTP configuration commands are used when a remote up-

date of the device configuration is needed.

Update can include all telematics settings and phone num-

bers, such as emergency numbers, status messages, autho-

rized numbers, GPS operating mode. MPTP updates also

include commands for daily usage, such as location request

and tracking commands.

The remote configuration can be used for transferring the

settings only in case the settings are coded as MPTP messag-

es.

For more information on MPTP messages, please see the

separate documents: Mobile Phone Telematics Protocol

(MPTP), located at the Web site: www.benefon.com

TRACKBOX 2.1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PART A: CONFIGURING SETTINGS FOR THE TRACKBOX

8 THE BENEFON CONFIGURATOR SOFTWARE FOR TRACKBOX

THE BENEFON CONFIGURATOR

SOFTWARE FOR TRACKBOX

The Benefon Configurator software is intended for configur-

ing settings locally for the Trackbox.

Since the Benefon Configurator is very easy to use, it is ad-

visable to make initial and other major configurations for

the device with this software. The settings done with the

Benefon Configurator can be transferred to the Trackbox via

the BWTrackbox cable.

Another, slightly quicker way to transfer configurations

made by Benefon Configurator is to use the SetupLoad soft-

ware.

The Benefon Configurator for Trackbox 2.1 consists of six

main groups of settings: Short messages, Phone books, User

settings, Telematics settings, I/O settings and Waypoint track-

ing. The settings are divided up into pages and groups in-

cluding several data fields, such as Tracking settings,

Emergency settings, Log settings, Message settings, Protocol

settings and so on.

When you are finished with editing the settings, you can ei-

ther transfer the settings back to the device via the BWTrack-

box cable immediately, or save them in a computer disk (as

any normal file) for further use.

Connecting the Trackbox to the

Benefon Configurator

1. The BWTrackbox Data/NMEA cable may contain two

square-end adapters. Plug the data adapter (1) into a

serial port. Serial ports are located at the back panel of

your computer.

2. Next remove the back cover of the device by screwing it

off. Plug the flat end of the BWTrackbox cable (2) in

the configuration port of the device. Make sure the re-

lease button (3) is facing up.

THE BENEFON CONFIGURATOR SOFTWARE FOR TRACKBOX 9

PART A: CONFIGURING SETTINGS FOR THE TRACKBOX

3. Open the Benefon Configurator.

4. Choose the correct serial port from the toolbar: Click

the pop-up menu and highlight the desired port.

Or, choose Settings from the Edit menu. Select the De-

fault communication port by clicking the check box. Click

OK to exit the menu.

5. Double-click the main node My Benefon.Or, double-

click the Trackbox icon. Or, choose Connect from the

Mobile menu. Or, click the button Connect located on

the toolbar.

6. The software establishes a connection to the device and

renames My Benefon node according to the type and the

model of the device, in this case Trackbox.

In order to transfer configura-

tions made by Benefon Config-

urator, the BWTrackbox cable

must be plugged in the de-

vice´s configuration port.

The configuration port is lo-

cated inside the device, in the

lower part of the accessory

module.

Only in case the BWTrackbox

cable is intended for continu-

ous use, you may pierce a hole

to the elastomer for the cable

inlet. Otherwise, leave it intact

for improving dust and water

protection.

THE CONFIGURATION PORT

THE MAIN IDEA IS THAT THE PORT SELECTED IN SOFTWARE

MATCHES WITH THE PORT, THE DATA ADAPTER IS PLUGGED IN.

PART A: CONFIGURING SETTINGS FOR THE TRACKBOX

10 THE BENEFON CONFIGURATOR SOFTWARE FOR TRACKBOX

7. At the same time, the software reads data from the device

and loads it in the display. The data contains currently

existing settings and menus from the device. These set-

tings and menus are shown as sub-nodes, such as User

settings, and Telematics settings. The nodes are struc-

tured as the Benetree on the left side of the display.

8. If the software requests security code while loading the

settings, you must key in the code and press Ok. For

more information on security code, see SECURITY CODE

ON PAGE 48.

9. Click the name label Trackbox. The sub-nodes will be

displayed as icons on the working area, i.e. the Docu-

ment window,on the right.

10.You can select the desired sub-node/icon by clicking it.

The data fields will be displayed.

Loading settings from the Trackbox

to the software

As you connect the device to the software, all current set-

tings in the Trackbox are copied to the software.

To load only part of the settings to the software, choose Con-

figurator from the Edit menu (before pressing Connect but-

ton). Check the desired setting groups - the groups are

shown in the Mobile phone start up tasks. Click Ok while the

dialog box is displayed.

Unloaded settings can be loaded afterwards in the same ses-

sion by choosing Open NNsettings from the Mobile menu.

Saving settings in a computer disk

1. If the device is not currently connected to the software,

you can still make "off-line" configurations, save them

and transfer them to the device afterwards. When work-

ing this way, data fields are available for editing via My

computer node.

2. To save data in a computer disk, choose Save as... from

the File menu.

3. Select the destination drive and folder, and rename the

file the way you like. Click Save. The software stores all

data fields that the chosen node, e.g. User settings, con-

tains.

TIP

ITISADVISABLETOALWAYSSAVETHESETTINGSINTHECOMPUTERDISK.

THIS WAY,THE READY-MADE SETTINGS CAN BE EASILY RECALLED AND

CHECKED AT ANYTIMENEEDED,EVEN WHENTHEDEVICEISFARAWAY.

WHEN THE SETTINGS ARE STORED IN THE COMPUTER AS ANORMAL

FILE, COPYING THEM TO OTHER SIMILAR DEVICES, OR MAKING

CHANGES TO THEM SHOULD BE QUITE EASY.
