6 Configuration commands - for Falcom STEPP

STEPPCONFIG VERSION 1.8.14
2.1 Version History
2.1.1 Falcom STEPP operating with Firmware version 1.8.14
All commands and parameters having the symbol ( i ) are available only in the
Firmware 1.8.14 and greater versions.
The following features are improved:
��This firmware version is based on the SiRF firmware version 2.3.2,
while earlier versions were based on the SiRF firmware 2.2.0.
��The receiving SMS messages, when the vehicle enters or leaves the
user-defined master region (either by IGN() or WATCH settings),
have been changed. Changes are noted to both parameters in the Notes
descriptions.
��The STEPP device will store the latest valid GPS fix into the FLASH
memory. After the GPS engine initiates a reset and during the restart
time no GPS-fix is being obtained, all values included in the GPRMC
protocol are set to 0. When the user requests the device configuration
setting (by using either &REQ CNF or $PSRF108,CNF) and the
current position of the device is invalid, the device holds the latest
stored valid GPSFIX (longitude, latitude and altitude) and sends it to
the message sender in a string formatted as shown below.
Additionally, the validity status indicator in capital letter inside the
$GPRMC and $GPGLL protocols (on the serial interface) will be
switched from A to V –letter, instead of A to S –letter implemented in
the earlier versions.
Example:
Send:
&REQ CNF // The user request of configuration was at
12:39:55.
Receive:
…..
GPSFIX=5040.4014,01058.8657,280103
…..
In event of alarms, the STEPP sends to the target phone number the
current received GPS data. If this data (the current GPS data) is invalid,
the STEPP device does not hold the latest stored valid data (GPSFIX)
from the FLASH to send it to the target phone number.
2.1.2 Falcom STEPP operating with Firmware version 1.6.10
All commands and parameters having the symbol ( h ) are available only in the
Firmware 1.6.10 and greater versions.
The following features are improved and new parameters are added:
��The new GSMWRST() parameter has the ability to reset the GSM
engine of STEPP device in interval of times. The reset occurs when
the specified amount of time, determined by the value, has passed and
no GSM activities are available at this time.
��The GSMCALL parameter is no more available for use, it is removed.
