To set up my TK102-2 to operate with gpsgate.com buddy tracker
0. Make sure I have plenty of time as it sometimes does not seem to work.
1. Make sure the sim works with text messages.
Put it in my phone (unlocked of course).
Send a text to my phone.
Send a text back.
Don't laugh. Some data only sims are not activated for text messaging it seems.
2. Put the sim card into the TK102 and make sure that I can communicate with it.
Wait for the LED stop stop flashing quickly. The mostly off occasional short flash on seems to indicate connected to the mobile phone system.
We use the imei command as this does not require the GPS to have a fix.
Send text
imei123456 where 123456 is the default password.
and after about 10 seconds I get back.
3. Configure TK102-2 for GPRS with Gpsgate.com buddy tracker service.
Send each of these as a separate text. Wait for the response.
begin123456 BEGIN ok!
Adminip123456 69.10.131.178 30176 ADMIIP ok!
Apn123456 telstra.internet APN ok!
t030s***n123456 T030S***N ok!
The last line sets it to continually send at a 30 second rate. Obviously can be costly so don't leave it like this if the thing is going to be left on for a while
t005m***n123456 sets it to 5 minutes.
4. CHECK GPSGATE
Have a look and see if the icon has turned green.
TK102-2 LED FLASHING CODES
This is my guess
LED OFF = Power is off
Fast Flashing = Searching for phone network
Long ON Very long OFF = GSM OK. NO GPS
Short on flash = all ok
I do not think it sends a first message until it has received a valid GPS fix. Then it sends continually at the programmed rate. If the GPS drops out, it simply sends the last good fix.
