Additional Components Preparation

The following steps should be performed as part of the initial setup procedures: 1. Provide a computer running Windows XP. If the Vista operating system is installed, run the computer in XP compatibility mode or run the software as administrator. NOTE: There are certain versions of Vista which do not support the installation package. In such cases, please use an XP operating system. The computer should be connected to the internet. In order for GSM/GPRS to work properly, a location close to a window is preferable. Working spaces in basements (underground) are not recommended. 2. Provide a SIM card that is open for GPRS and SMS use. To test the Handsfree kit, the SIM card must be open to voice traffic. GPRS must be really available (surf the internet to confirm this). For a simple evaluation environment set up, the SIM card should be PIN-free. Use a cell phone to remove PIN protection from the SIM card or order the SIM card without a PIN. You may program the unit for PIN protection and PIN locking using the programmer after the initial set up. Obtain the access point name (APN) for GPRS traffic, from the cellular provider. The APN usually contains the words "internet" and/or "gprs". Some providers also provide access points for WAP. WAP-only APNs may not support TCP/UDP protocols, and therefore cannot be used with Pointer applications. 3. Provide a 12-24 VDC, 2A min power supply. It can be a standard commercial power supply. Set a current limit of 3A to the units feeding or otherwise use the fuse included in the kit. 4. A USB to serial multiport device is optional but is recommended. For regular operation only one serial port is required, but some advanced techniques require several serial ports.

4.3
Defining Reports per Sensor

Once all the required sensors are selected, the contents of a triggered sensor report must be defined. To define a report for a sensor, perform the following steps: 1. In the CAN Filters Editor, click on Templates. The templates window opens. 2. Click on the + button. The Sensor page opens. 3. Click on the sensors to add to a Template and, optionally, click on Add GPS Data Module. The example below shows a template with Speed and Odometer sensors, as well as the GPS information selected. 4. Click OK to save the template. 5. The values of all sensors in that template, in addition to the optional GPS information, will be transmitted to the server when an event is triggered.
Page 74 of 102
NOTE: in some cases only three sensors can be reported. An appropriate template with up to 3 sensors must be prepared for these cases.
4.4
Assigning Simple Triggers

For each sensor a set of conditions (trigger) under which an event will be sent, must be defined. Simple triggers are selected in the Trigger window. 1. To set a trigger for a specific sensor (filter), in the CAN Filters Editor, click the Add New Trigger icon. The Trigger window opens.
Page 75 of 102
4.4.1 Setting the Input Sensor

1. Select the Input Sensor from the dropdown list of those sensors that were previously defined.
4.4.2 Setting Input Processing Mode

1. Select one of the Input Processing modes: Threshold Trigger Delta Trigger Periodical Event The three processing modes are explained in detail in the following sections.
Page 76 of 102
NOTE: More than one condition (trigger) can be assigned to a single sensor.
4.4.2.1 Threshold Trigger

The Threshold Trigger detects when a sensors value has exceeded the predefined maximum or minimum level. 1. In order to define the threshold, define the Threshold Type, the Threshold Value and the Threshold Report Policy.
Page 77 of 102
2. The Threshold Type can be a Minimum Threshold or a Maximum Threshold type. The trigger will be activated according to the Threshold value selected. A Minimum Threshold trigger will be activated whenever the measured sensors value is below the specified Threshold Value. A Maximum Threshold trigger will be activated whenever the measured sensors value exceeds the specified Threshold Value.
Page 78 of 102
3. The Threshold Value is the defined level which, when exceeded, activates a trigger.
Page 79 of 102
The Threshold Report Policy is set to either trigger on each exceeding update or Single trigger per session. Trigger on each exceeding update policy reports on each measured value (update) which exceeds the specified Threshold Value. A per session trigger policy reports once when the sensor's value exceeds the specified Threshold Value. Further reports will only occur if the sensor's value returns first to normal level, and then exceeds the Threshold Value again. It is recommended to deploy the Single trigger per exceeding update configuration so that the network will not be flooded with information and communication costs will be excessive.
Page 80 of 102
For example: To detect over speeding, assign a threshold trigger and maximum value threshold type. Select the maximum allowed speed in the Threshold Value parameter and a "single update per exceeding period" for report policy. Note that because the speed is reported on the CAN bus, 10 times a second, generating an event on each update in excess of the maximum permitted speed rather than per session is not recommend as done as it can result in excessive communication costs.
Page 81 of 102
4.4.2.2 Delta Trigger

This trigger type is used in order to report when a sensors value has exceeded the programmed Delta Value from the previous report, e.g. the Delta Trigger is used when a report for every 100 Km is needed.
Page 82 of 102
4.4.2.3 Periodical Event

This trigger type is used as a periodical update allowing the user to define the required timeout in seconds. In fact, it is not actually the time that is counted. The trigger occurs after a preprogrammed number of specific sensor updates (measurements). Since the frequency of updates is normally defined in the CAN protocol, it is designated as a period.
4.4.3 Setting the Trigger Outputs

The following Trigger outputs are available: Inactive trigger. The trigger has been disabled. Realtime CAN message trigger creates a real-time message. Real-time values of all defined filters are sent each time a trigger is activated for each of the sensors selected (a maximum of 8 or 25). This type of message is not recommended because: It does not clarify which of the sensors has violated the condition. It is not equipped with a GPS stamp. It is not logged and not repeated, which means that the message will be lost if there is no coverage at the moment of generation. The message is of type 9, sub data type 2. Specific data trigger generates a message containing sensor values in accordance with the assigned template, as explained in Section 4.3. The message is of type 9, sub data type 3. If GPRS is not available, the information is lost. Specific data logged generates a logged message that is stored in the message queue and is sent when GPRS is available, in accordance with the assigned template, Cellocator Compact CAN Evaluation Manual Copyright 2010 by Pointer Telocation, Ltd. Page 83 of 102
as explained in Section 4.3. A message is limited to three sensors plus GPS information. 1. To set a trigger output, select a trigger from the Trigger Outputs dropdown box.
2.
Click OK to activate the defined trigger.
Page 84 of 102
4.4.3.1 Setting a Template

If one of the Specific Data type triggers is selected, the user must select a template for event generation. A maximum of four templates can be defined.
1.
icon below the Trigger output dropdown box. The Templates Click on the window is displayed.
2. 3.
Select from the existing templates (Template 0, Template 1, Template 2) by clicking on the relevant radio button. Click OK.
Page 85 of 102
4. 5.
If the existing templates are not suitable, close the Trigger window and define the required template in accordance with the instructions in Section 4.3. Reopen the Trigger window and select the new template.
4.5
Assigning Complex Triggers

A Complex Trigger can occur upon concurrent violation of two simple triggers for a predefined time period, or violation of a single trigger for more than a predefined time period. A complex trigger can be defined based upon a subset of the mentioned parameters e.g. one sensor and a time filter, or simultaneous activation of two simple triggers. In other words it is possible to select two single triggers (assigned to the same sensor or different sensors), and the time interval during which both are simultaneously activated before the Complex Trigger message is generated. Complex triggers are selected in the Trigger window. The maximum number of complex triggers is 8 (in both 8 and 25 sensors version).The time counter of each trigger is up to 255 seconds. The same single trigger can be used for more than one complex trigger (although it is not supported yet by Cellocator tools). The complex trigger input can only be constructed from triggers of the "Threshold" type, with a single trigger per exceeding period. Each simple trigger can be set as either part of complex trigger or simple trigger. The same trigger cannot be defined simultaneously as part of both a complex trigger and a simple trigger. To set a complex threshold trigger, perform the following steps:
Page 86 of 102
1. 2. 3.
4.
In the CAN Filters Editor, select a Filter and click the Complex Trigger icon. Select sensors for Trigger 1 and Trigger 2 in the dropdown lists and, optionally, an Additional Sensor. Select the Trigger output type: Specific Data Specific Delta Logged Set the time counter of each trigger up to 255 seconds.
The complex trigger interface allows setting two simple sensors and the time of simultaneous activation to generate a trigger. Since the template of (logged) complex triggers is invariable, the form lets the operator assign one additional sensor. The example demonstrates a complex trigger, setting the Speed and Engine RPM simultaneous violation for 15 seconds. The following example presents a screenshot of the configured complex trigger screen.

4.6
Adding a New Sensor

A user can build and name filters for each sensor. To create a new SAE-J1939 filter, perform the following steps: 1. In the CAN Filters Editor, select a Filter and click the Add New Filter icon. 2. To define a J1939 Sensor, in the Sensor Type window select Extended Identifier.
3.
4. 5.
In the New Sensor window, enter the relevant information which should be taken from the SAE International Surface Vehicle Recommended Practice J1939-71 document. Click OK. The filter will appear on the main window of the Can Filter Editor. The following is the most important displayed information. Filter Type: Active or inactive filter. Start bit offset: Start bit information to be extracted. Data Length: Bit length to be extracted. Multibyte endianess: Extraction order little/big endian.
Page 88 of 102
A maximum of 8t or 24 filters can be defined in the 8 sensor or 25 sensor unit, respectively. A maximum of 8 complex triggers can be defined for each unit. Please refer to the following table for details. 8-Sensor Unit Sensors Simple Triggers Complex Triggers 8 8 8 25-Sensor Unit 25 24 8
4.7
Saving CAN Parameter Definitions

CAN parameter definitions can be saved as INI files. The .INI file relates the indices of the sensors and triggers reported by the CAN messages to the actual names. It is therefore also of interest for software integrators. 1. To create a sensor .INI file with CAN parameters, use the Programmer CAN Filter Editor. 2. After building filters and triggers in the CAN Filter Editor window, save the file in File>Save CAN parameters list to file. 3. The Can parameters file can be loaded into the Communication Center in order to display them as explained in the following section.

Dedicated Compact Security Evaluation Procedures

Dallas Key Code Programming
The Cellocator Programmer facilitates programming of Dallas Key Codes. Each Dallas Key is supplied with a unique code which is written on the base of the button. This code could be written in the appropriate window of the programmer but this is a tedious process. A more elegant way is to acquire the code using the Programmer and the evaluation set, and then to copy and paste it to the appropriate window of the Programmer. For programming the Dallas Key Code perform the following procedure: 1. Verify that the Cellocator unit is connected to the appropriate evaluation kit and communication exists with the Cellocator Programmer. 2. Verify that the Ignition Switch of the vehicle simulator (tester) is turned On. 3. Touch the Dallas reader on the vehicle simulator with the Dallas button. 4. Press the Master Status button ( ) on the Programmer tool bar. Page 100 of 102

5. Scroll down the Units Status data, the last detected Dallas number is listed. 6. Copy the number and Close the Master Status window. 7. In the Security >Dallas folder, select the desired Dallas code entry and double click it.
8. Paste the copied Dallas Code in the Enter Value field and click OK. 9. Repeat the steps above for the remaining Dallas buttons.

Learn Lock / Unlock Sequences

In Order to Arm / Disarm a Cellocator Compact Security system, the unit installer must teach the Compact Security unit the signals that are sent by the vehicle, after receiving a Lock or Unlock command from remote controller. The signals are recorded from thee wires: Lock, Unlock and Directional Signals (Blinkers). For example, when the driver locks the vehicle using the vehicles remote controller the vehicle activates a lock pulse and the two directional signal flashes. The Cellocator Compact Security system unit will store that sequence as an Arm command. Once the sequence has been stored, the unit will detect the signal sequence and Arm / Disarm the alarm system accordingly.
2.2.1 Learn Procedure

To activate the Learn process, perform the following steps: 1. Press the Learn Sequenses button ( Sequences window is displayed. ) on Programmer tool bar. The Learn
2.2.1.1 Lock Function

To learn the Lock signals sequence, perform the following steps: Click Lock. The unit beeps (using the siren output) twice to confirm reception of the Learn Sequence command. Page 101 of 102 Copyright 2010 by Pointer Telocation, Ltd.

Press the Lock button on the vehicles remote controller (or in a Signal Simulator). The unit records the signals sequence generated by the vehicle and beeps 5 times to confirm end of recording.
NOTE: If no signal is detected during recording, the unit will activate the siren output for a few seconds to report the recording failure.
2.2.1.2 Unlock Function

To learn the Unlock signal sequence, perform the following steps: 1. Click Unlock. The unit beeps (using the siren output) once to confirm reception of the Learn Sequence command. 2. Press the Unlock button on the vehicles remote controller (or in a Signal Simulator). The unit records the signals sequence generated by the vehicle and beeps 5 times to confirm end of recording. NOTE: If no signal is detected during recording, the unit will activate the siren output for a few seconds to report the recording failure.
2.2.1.3 Unlock 2 Function

This function is required for vehicles that employ more than one signals sequence to unlock the doors. In such a case Cellocator Compact Security unit may learn another Unlock sequence. To implement the Unlock2 function, perform the following steps: 2. Click Unlock2. The unit beeps (using the siren output) three times to confirm reception of the Learn Sequence command. 3. Press the Unlock2 button on the vehicles remote controller (or other required operation to unlock the vehicle). The unit records the signals sequence and beeps 5 times to confirm end of recording. NOTE: If no signal is detected during recording, the unit will activate a siren for 1 second to report the recording failure.
