0.1 <strong>STEPP</strong> CONFIGURATOR Overview<br />
The <strong>Falcom</strong> Stepp device is an easy-to-setup GSM/GPS terminal. It can be<br />
configured for use in a wide range of applications including automatic<br />
vehicle location, fleet management and vehicle security and recovery.<br />
General information about <strong>Falcom</strong> and its products is available at the<br />
<strong>Falcom</strong> home page at http://www.falcom.de/. The latest versions of the<br />
Stepp device firmware, configuration software and manuals can also be<br />
found at the <strong>Falcom</strong> home page.<br />
Configuration of the Stepp device can be done using a PC in combination<br />
with a Stepp starter kit or via a GSM connection, either using a data call or<br />
SMS messages.<br />
A GSM data connection can be made to the Stepp device for real time<br />
tracking. The device can also send SMS messages in various situations, for<br />
example if a vehicle equipped with the device goes out of a pre-configured<br />
region. Other than real-time tracking, the device can also be used to store<br />
parameters such as location and speed. The stored history can be retrieved at<br />
a later time, or over a GSM data call.<br />
Voice calls can be made to and from the Stepp device. The device also<br />
provides four digital outputs, four digital inputs, two analog inputs and<br />
digital inputs for the ignition and battery status in a car. Each of the inputs<br />
can be configured to trigger the device to send an SMS message or initiate a<br />
data or voice call.<br />

starter kit, while Chapter 3 explains how to install the Stepp <strong>Configurator</strong><br />
