As shown below:


　

3.2. This function needs PDA cell phone/support view pictures/and wifi PDA cell phone.



IV. Track on GPRS Monitor Software in CD to Install in Your PC

4.1 Your pc is a mini server, and don’t restrict any mid-server operator, the software in one computer can monitor 255 target trackers at most, GPRS data transfer through pc to tracker device real time. the operation steps as following:

4.2. IMEI checking:

Send SMS command "imei+password" to the unit.eg.: Send SMS command "imei123456" to the unit, a imei number in 15 digits will be returned to your cell phone.



4.3. Setting up APN

4.3.1 APN standards for Access Point Name and differs from country to country. For more information about the local APN, inquire with your local GPRS network operator.

4.3.2 Text the tracker a SMS “APN123456 + Space + your local APN” via a cell phone and if succeeded in setup, the tracker will return the message “APN OK”.

4.3.3 eg. Send SMS command “APN123456 CMNET”. If succeeded, “APN OK” is returned by the tracker in SMS.

Notes: 123456 refers to password and CMNET APN's Network Operator of China.



4.4 GPRS Login User Name and Password Configuration

4.4.1 In most countries, the user name and password involving GPRS login are not compulsorily necessary. Therefore, the entry can be skipped. For those countries requiring user name and password, please configure as follows:

4.4.2 Send SMS“up + 123456 + Space + User + Space + Password”. If succeeded, “user, password OK” is returned by the tracker in SMS.

4.4.3 For instance, send SMS”up123456 Jonnes 666666” to the tracker, and if succeeded, the tracker returns “user, password OK”

Notes: 123456 refers to password of the tracker, Jonnes user name and 666666 GPRS password.



4.5 IP Address and Port Setup

4.5.1 Send SMS as below via a cell phone: adminip + 123456 + Space + IP Address + Space + Port Number. If succeeded, “adminip OK” is returned by the device in SMS.

4.5.2. For example, send SMS command "adminp123456 21.34.116.58 7070" to the tracker. If configuration goes smoothly, the tracker returns "adminip OK"; If there is something wrong then SMS “adminip fail” is received, check out the format of commands sent and password as well.

Note: 123456 refers to password, 21.34.116.85 IP address of the public network to which the computer installed the monitor center software pertains, 7070 the port receiving GPRS data of the monitor center software. The above mentioned port corresponds to an idle computer port.

4.5.3 How to obtain a public IP address?

4.5.3.1 For ADSL subscribers with routing function disenabled, right-click the My Network Place in the Windows NT/2000/2003/XP, click Properties and then select Local Connection in the subsequently popped up window for network connection. At this movement, your public IP address appears in the left lower corner.

4.5.3.2. For ADSL subscribers with routing function enabled, the current IP address refers to an internal IP address such as 192.168.1.103 is internal subscribers. In order to obtain a public IP address, it is required first of all to find out the IP address of the router (the router IP address is a proprietary IP address rather than a public IP address). Type in the router IP address into the location field of the IE explorer and then log into the configuration interface of the router following entering the user name and password of the router. Due to different manufacturers, the router configuration interface may differ from each other. It is strongly recommended you to read through the user’s manual of router.

Attention: As your public IP address is not fixed but dynamic, it changes each time when surfing the internet via dial-up internet access, thus directly resulting in failure of GPRS connection. In such a case, it needs to set up current IP address via following the Step III. If your IP address is fixed, there is no need to consider troubles mentioned before and once set up, it can remain valid for a long-term.

4.5.4 Which are ports that can be configured?

They range from 1024 to 65535 in number and are not allocated to certain service without alteration, this is to say, many services can use one port. Deploy the command Netstat in the Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 to examine ports in use.
Click “Start/Run” in turn and then put “cmd” into the field to open the command prompt symbol window. Type in “netstat –a -n” and then press Enter to display the number and status of port in connection with TCP and UDP in the format of digits





All the ports displayed in the interface are occupied and not available for use. Select any number within the range of 1024~65535 other than those numbers displayed in the interface.

4.5.5 Attention: The ports in the tracker, router and system setup of the map monitor center should be identical.



4.6. Modes switch between “SMS” and “GPRS”

4.6.1 Send SMS “GPRS+password” to the unit, and it will reply “GPRS ok!” and switch to “GPRS”mode.

4.6.2 Send SMS “SMS+password” to the unit, it will reply “SMS ok!” and restore to “SMS” mode.



4.7. Router Port Mapping Method

4.7.1 For ADSL subscribers with routing function disenabled, there is no need for port mapping.

4.7.2 For internal subscribers surfing the internet via ADSL router automatic dial-up or co-shared internet access, it is compulsory to map ports.

4.7.3 What is necessity for port mapping? Let’s focus on how GPS data in the tracker to transfer to the personal computer with the monitor platform software installed.



The tracker transfers GPS information to the network operator's machine room via GPRS first of all. Through wireless network, the GPS information is sent to internet and then a public IP associated with the router. The personal PC is connected with the internal network allocated by the router. In order to realize transferring GPS information to a personal PC correctly, the router must be able to transfer information received from WAN to the PCs in a LAN.



4.7.4. In the first place, open the IE explorer and type in the router IP address in the address column. This IP address refers to neither a non-public IP nor IP in the personal PC but the router IP address which can be obtained from the user’s manual of router. Enter the IP address mentioned above and then put the default user name and password as well into the password entry dialogue box shown up subsequently. The user name and password can be found in the user’s manual of router. Log into the router configuration interface and find out the option of port mapping or transfer protocol. Set up the transfer port according to the tracker port configuration. Put in 7070 and then the internal IP address for information transfer. For example, enter 192.168.1.10 （192.168.1.10 is the internal IP address for the computer where the monitor center software is installed）and select TCP or ALL as protocol. Click Save and quit. The configuration is done at this point.





4.7.5 The following takes ALCATEL511 as an example to demonstrate how to map a port.

4.7.5.1 Open the IE explorer and enter 10.0.0.138 (IP address of ALCATEL511's Control Interface) into the address column. When the IP address is typed in correctly, IE displays corresponding information about the built-in control interface of ALCATEL511 as shown below.



4.7.5.2 When logging in, the basic interface of ALCATEL511 appears and then click the column ADVANCED in the left of the screen



An interface pops up subsequently. Here we can set up the port mapping function. Click NAPT in the left menu.

4.7.5.3 Although the router operation interface differs from manufacturer to manufacturer, the function of transfer or mapping is common for various routers. If unable to complete configuration alone, seek for technical support from network technicians or router manufacturers.



Following NAPT control interface login, an interface shown above appears and some fields must be filled out.



4.7.5.4 Select the TCP mode and then enter 10.0.0.1 into the column of Internal IP that is identical to that in the PC.
Type in 7070 into the fields in connection with Inside Port and Outside Port respectively.

When configuration is done, click Apply to save.



Finally, click Save All in the left upper corner of the screen to save those settings. All the configuration information is stored in the firmware of ALCATEL511 and remains retained when no power is supplied to the ALCATEL511. However, the configuration information gets lost in the process of setting up router or updating firmware.
When configuration is over, the port mapping function of ALCATEL511 ADSL adapter is available following reboot.
