The tool works for all devices, that send data by a data connection. SMS is not supported. Please note that different hardware types send data differently. https://service.sw-management.at/boxserver/partneradmin/ Please note that The username and password will be given by us. Please contact us via phone or email to get the username and password! The IMEI must be entered 100% correctly. Also the email is necessary to get events and to get the list per email!
After you entered a valid IMEI: Click on the link to see the data. You can also use this link on a smartphone or tablet, if you do the installation in the vehicle! Installation is only complete if the following mandatory test results are accomplished successfully: TS (Timestamp): Current data is shown (check ts coloum for the timing, be aware of time zone differences, it uses Lat / Lon /Alt (GPS Position): the gps position and altitude is shown, you could check the values by entering them in Google Maps. Speed: when driving speed is higher than 0. Dig In 1 (Digital Input 1) must be 1if ignition is ON (only if ignition signal is connected to digital input 1) Dig In 1 (Digital Input 1) must be 0 if ignition is OFF (only if ignition signal is connected to digital input 1) Certain accessories are also shown Drivercode: if an ibutton is connected to the reader, there will be 1.3 SIM Cards (usually already in the device) Refer to your vendor for SIM card related issues. It could be that the SIM card is already activated and inserted in the tracking device. The right SIM cards must be available for starting installation. The partner / customer is responsible for acquiring the right SIM card. The SIM card must fulfill special requirements (refer to UserManual). The tracking units only work with the SIM
card and operator that has been configured on the tracking unit (GSM operator, country). SIM card should be inserted in the module while the connector is plugged off (while module has no power). Make sure that GSM number of the SIM card is labeled on the box SIM card PIN has been deactivated SIM cards have been tested in a mobile phone (SMS and GPRS must work in a mobile phone) If SIM card checks fail, you cannot complete installation. For inserting the SIM card you must unscrew/open the box and place the SIM card in the SIM card holder in the right direction. 1.4 Mounting Recommendations 1.4.1 Vehicle Tracker When connecting the connection (2x10) cables to the vehicle, the appropriate jumpers of the power supply of the vehicle should be disconnected. Before dismounting the device from the vehicle, the (2x10) connection must be disconnected. The device is designed to mount in a zone of limited access, which is inaccessible for the driver. All related devices must meet the requirements of standard EN 60950-1. Before usage, the device should be placed so that its LED indicators are visible, which show the status of operation the device is ON. As any electrical device the tracking unit is susceptible to humidity or too much heat. Placing it safely under the dashboard should be a safe. 1.4.2 Mobile Tracker & Container Tracker In this case it is only necessary that the device can face the satelite! 1.5 Connecting Wires If there are cables to connect, the following rules apply: Wires should be connected while module is not plugged in. Wires should be fastened to the other wires or non-moving parts. Try to avoid heat emitting and moving objects near the wires. The connections should not be seen very clearly. If factory isolation was removed while connecting wires, it should be applied again. If the wires are placed in the exterior or in places where they can be damaged or exposed to heat, humidity, dirt, etc., additional isolation should be applied. Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or control units If unused, insulate the ends properly to ensure that the unused cables do not short to anything in the vehicle or any other cables. 1.6 Connecting the Power Source / Ground If a power must be connected, the following rules apply: Permanent stable power is very important to operate the device. It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in the fuse box. Don t take the power source from the radio as this might affect the quality of your radio. Be sure that after the car computer falls asleep, power is still available on chosen wire. Depending on a car, this may happen in 5 to 30 minutes period. When module is connected, be sure to measure voltage again if it did not decrease. If power cable of the device is connected to ignition, this impacts the quality of tracking as down-times (device is off power) will occur. Connecting power supply to ignition might only be necessary in case the vehicle s battery is too weak and depleted fast. In some cases the box installation caused a radio noise effect. Don t take the power source from the radio. You can avoid this noise by re-locating the box and the antennas far away from the radio.
1.7 Anschluss Zündungskontakt Sollte ein Anschluss an der Zündung gefordert sein, gelten folgenden Regeln: Stellen Sie sicher, dass es wirklich das Zündungssignal ist (kein Spannungsabfall während Start) Stellen Sie sicher, die Box auch mit Strom versorgt wird, wenn die Zündung aus ist. Stellen Sie sicher, dass das Zündungsplus nach Abschalten der Zündung tatsächlich 0 ist. 1.8 GPS Antenna If the device has a GPS antenna, the following rules apply: When placing antennas avoid easily reached places. Hide antennas UNDER the dashboard if possible. Please place the GPS-antenna on the dash-board in order to check the box during installation. After you have got a correct GPS fix you can fix it. Make sure that the GPS reception of the position is good (no metal shielding). Not all antennas are optimal for hiding them. Avoid GPS antenna placement under metal surfaces. GPS antenna must be placed so its state is as horizontal as possible (if antenna is leant more than 30 degrees, it is considered incorrect mounting). GPS antenna cable cannot be bent more than 80 degrees. GPS antenna must be placed sticker facing down. It is recommended to place GPS antenna behind or under dashboard as close to the window as possible. A good example of GPS antenna placement is displayed in a picture below (below area colored green). If you need accurate GPS data and want to reduce the time to GPS- Fix, the antenna should be mounted on the dashboard. Important notice regarding position of GPS Antenna: Hiding the GPS antenna below the dashboard (near to the front window) is generally possible according to the producer and must be tested for each vehicle. Under certain circumstances hiding the antenna will deteriorate the GPS Fix (the quality of the GPS position) and could lead to higher power consumption (search for GPS). 1.9 GSM Antenna If the device has a GSM antenna, the following rules apply: GSM antenna must be placed with as little metal obstacles around it as possible. Avoid placing GSM antenna near car radio, speakers or alarm systems. After hiding it, a test of GSM/GPRS connection must be done. Important notice regarding position of GSM/GPRS Antenna: Avoid connections that could cause interference with radio, speakers or alarm systems. 1.10 Power Consumption Please note that external factors might cause the box to enter sleep mode (searching for GPS, reloading batteries). Different factors (box operations, antenna positions) will cause different power consumption. To avoid total battery depletion after very long inactivity you can add a main power switch that can be installed hidden so that you can disconnect the device from power if needed. 1.11 Installation Tests Test must be done outside to have a GPS connection. All tests must be done according the instruction. For devices installed in vehicles: Drive 500 meters, switch off the ignition for minutes, switch it on again and driver back and stop in front of the workshop if possible. Verify your test using the online data tool
For mobile trackers: Trigger some data points outside Verify your test using the online data tool 1.12 General Trouble-Shooting Sometimes in rare case, if happen that devices are not sending or send not as expected. For devices installed in vehicles the reasons might be: Loose cables or damaged cables Wrongly fixed, damaged or moved or slipped antennas Wrongly connected permanent power Wrongly connected or not connected ignition A damaged antenna or device or cut cable For mobile trackers the reasons might be: Battery A damaged device 1.13 Damaged Device / RMA If a device is damaged, it must be sent back with the SIM card with a completely filled out RMA form. Without the RMA form the device will be processed. The RMA form can be found on www.gps.at 1.14 Documentation After finishing your installation and tests you should send a Installation Document to your customer/partner: For a better overview the list of installed vehicles shall be summarized and handed over. Please send us a list with all the vehicles, SIM-Card-numbers and IMEI. IMEI of Box GSM number Vehicle name Odometer Odometer Reading Date Location of box / special remarks We recommend to fill in the vehicle service for every installation. It is an approval document that the installation was tested. You can download it here: http://www.gps.at/downloads/vehicle_service_form.doc
