About this Manual
Welcome to the DRAFT TrimTrac
TM
1.5 Locator Technical Manual. This manual is
intended for use by system integrators, service providers and application developers
(collectively, “Resellers”). It is not intended for end-users of the TrimTrac 1.5. Any
end-user documentation is to be prepared and furnished by the Resellers.
This manual covers the TrimTrac 1.5 with 1.xx and later firmware and operating
on 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 1900 MHz Global System for Mobile
communication (GSM) networks. Data and Event Reporting support is by Short
Message Service (SMS), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), or both. This
manual describes how to set up, configure, install, operate, and troubleshoot the
product. Even if you have used other GSM or Global Positioning System (GPS)
products before, Trimble recommends that you spend some time reading this
manual to learn about the special features of this product. If you are not familiar
with GSM or GPS, visit Trimble Component Technologies’ Web site dedicated to
the TrimTrac product (www.trimtrac.com) for a look at the device, GSM and GPS.
Trimble assumes that you are familiar with Microsoft Windows (2000, XP),
including HyperTerminal, and know how to use a mouse, select options from
menus and dialogs, make selections from lists, and refer to online help.
While this manual does not apply to earlier versions of the TrimTrac locator, the
TrimTrac 1.5 locator is backward compatible with applications developed for
earlier versions of the TrimTrac locator.
