2. Accessing the system from mobile devices

The mobile version is a simplified version of the system and serves mostly to instantly locate

vehicles. For a full-featured application use the PC version.

2.1 Logging into the system

To sign in enter http://m.satmaps.net into your mobile device's

browser. Then enter login credentials.

Note:

In case you have not received or deleted login credentials, contact

Satmaps system support.

2.2 General controls

For clarity, the status of the monitored vehicles in the system are

distinguished by different colors (chapter 1.3.).

The mobile version of the application is designed to use as little data as possible. Therefore,

the data are retrieved only once and does not update themselves. In case you need to

update the data, press the button in the upper right corner of the screen.

2.3 Monitoring

To get the current position of a vehicle click on the vehicle in the vehicles list and then click

on the map button.

III. Control of private/business journey switch

The function of distinguishing business/private journeys is

controlled by a switch located in the interior of the vehicle.

Position I (on) activates the business mode. The 0 (off)

deactivates the business mode (private mode is therefore

activated).

This switch has a direct impact on the journey register where

driven kilometers are shown in private/business mode.

I – Business journey mode

O – Private journey mode

IV. Remote control of unit’s functions

User functions of the vehicle unit are controlled by commands, which are sent in a

form of SMS from any mobile phone to the telephone number of the vehicle unit.

The command is always sent together with the PIN code, that uniquely identifies the

authorized persons. PIN code is a four digit number and can be changed for safety

reasons at any time.

The PIN code is set by manufacturer to value 4321 (symbols **** are used instead of

PIN code in the text below). The commands are not case sensitive.

1. PIN code change

Command format: **** PIN xxxx yyyy

xxxx – new PIN code

yyyy – confirmation of new PIN code

Default setting: 4321

For security reasons we recommend to change the

PIN code as soon as possible.

Note:

If you forgot the PIN code, the factory reset of the vehicle

unit can be done only by the manufacturer.

2. Remote control of switching relay

Current state of relay is shown at the Vehicle card

(chapter 1.4.).

2.1 Relay switching for unlimited time

Command format: **** SWITCH n

n = 0 – calm state of the relay

n = 1 – switched contacts of the relay

The relay in the vehicle unit can be switched using

command SWITCH with parameter n, so that particular

devices in the vehicle can be remotely switched ON or OFF

for unlimited time.

2.2 Relay switching for preset time

Command format: **** SWITCH xy

x – time for which the relay stays switched (from 1 to 240)

y – time unit of the number entered by parameter x

y = s – seconds

y = m – minutes

The relay in the vehicle unit can be switched using

command SWITCH with parameter xy, so that connected

devices in the vehicle can be remotely switched ON or OFF

for limited time.

Example: PIN code change from

4321 to 2828

4321 PIN 2828 2828

Example: Relay is switched

4321 SWITCH 1

Example: Command for switching relay

for 5 minutes. After this time elapses,

the relay automatically returns back to

unswitched mode

3. STOP function

Command format: **** STOP n

n = 1 – activates function STOP

n = 0 – deactivates function STOP

This function is specially designed to safely stop vehicle's

engine. The output is activated only in case the vehicle

stops / lowers its speed to 0 km/h (e.g. on cross road).

Current state of the STOP function can be viewed on the

Vehicle card (chapter 1.4.).

4. Setting of car battery level monitoring

Command format: **** MCBAT xx,x

xx,x = monitored battery voltage in volts, allowing one decimal

number (e.g. 11,7).

Default setting: 11,8

Range: 10 – 25,5

X = 0 – deactivates the function

It is necessary to also set and activate this function in the

online monitoring system (chapter 1.6/E).

After activating this function, the system informs the

user via SMS in case of battery disconnection or its

voltage drop below the monitored level.

5. Setting of over speed monitoring

Command format: **** MSPEED x

x = monitored speed value in km/h

Default setting: 0

Range: 0 – 255

x = 0 – deactivates the function

It is necessary to also set and activate this function in the

online monitoring system (chapter 1.6/E).

After activating this function, the system informs the user

via SMS in case of over speeding.

In case of multiple or long-term over speeding (e.g. fast

drive at motorway), the system sends SMS alerts once

every 10 minutes.

Example: Activation of STOP function

4321 STOP 1

Example: Setting of the minimum

monitored car battery level to 11,7V

4321 MCBAT 11,7

Example: Setting the monitored

over speeding to 120 km/h
