1. Introduction
ST940: Personal / Asset Tracking Device
The ST940 with its holderis a waterproof (IP66compliant) hard-cased ultra-mini tracking device to be used for various
purposes like an asset tracker or a personal tracker.
Without any efforts for connecting wires, the ST940 (hereinafter referred to as ‘device’) works autonomously with its
built-in battery. If users want to track an object with the ST940, all they have to do is just simply put it into the box or
the carry bag where the object is contained. And then, users can track the locations of such an object and receive an
alert if the object enters or leaves a pre-defined zone.

<Notes>
** If the Network does not require User ID and Password, these fields should be empty.
** If RX_GPRS_CMD is enabled, the device should keep connection with the server though GPRS so that the
device can receive a command from the server.
Sometimes, the device may send ‘alive reports’ to keep the connection because the network provider may
disconnect the GPRS connection if there is no communication for such a time-period. Also, the device may

send ‘Alive Reports’ to re-connect with the server while the device is disconnected from the server.
Automatic Setting for GPRS Network

If you set the device to ‘Automatic GPRS Set’, the device will automatically set the parameters for GPRS with
the data available on the inserted SIM card.
For instance, if Airtel SIM is inserted, the device will set ‘AUTH’ to ‘0’, ‘APN’ to ‘airtelgprs.com’, ‘USER_ID and
USER_PASS’ to empty respectively.
And then, the device reports response string after adding real GPRS parameters, if ‘Automatic GPRS Set’ is
selected.
0
DNS
SEVER_IP and B_SERVER_IP field can be filled with direct IP address (for example 111.111.111.111) or
domain name (for example, suntechint.com). If this field is written by domain, the device will find real IP
address by DNS and sends reports to IP address.

<ACK in case of UDP>

UDP is a protocol which does not check if the data has been transmitted successfully. So, the device checks
completion of sending with ACK(ST910ACK;111111) depending on UDP_ACK type.
ACK is sent by the server when the data is received.
If the ACK is not sent for more than 2 minutes after sending, the device recognizes that the data has not reached the
server and sends the data again.

setting.
OFF_TIME String minute 1 to 9999.
It is a command which is needed to save battery power when the device is in a safe area and has no plan of
moving for a time period of ‘OFF_TIME’.
When the device receives this command, it turns the power off and on after OFF_TIME minutes pass. During the
time period of ‘power off’, the device cannot send either any reports or alert. It cannot receive any commands
either. This action is exactly same as power handling by pressing the key.
Instead of this command, you can turn off the power by pressing the key and turn on the power by pressing the
key after OFF_TIME minutes.
Caution: Please eliminate the ‘data cable’ after you set ‘OFF COMMAND’ in ‘SyncTrak’ program.

the time period of <GPS Module On> in order to enable the device to catch GPS signal of satellites to better
facilitate the time period of <GPS Fix>. In such a case, the user can set a Value of time period of <GPS
Module On> ranging from 10% up to 80% of the interval of Parking Mode. If this Value is set higher, life time
of the battery gets shorter. Before you make a decision, therefore, you need to think about how high/low this
Value should be. You need to be selective in setting this Value in consideration of how you practically use
the device.
2. The default is 33%. The GPS module of the device is On for 60 seconds, which is 33% of the Default
Parking Interval (i.e. 180 seconds). Maximum time period of <GPS On> is between minimum 1 minute and
maximum 10 minutes. 0
3. Sometime, you may need to change the existing Parking Interval. In such a case, the saved value of the
<GPS On Percent> has an influence on the time length of <GPS On>. Therefore, you need to think about it
and may change the value of <GPS On Percent> if you need to do so.
4. It is reported that some users utilize the device to monitor just the vehicle’s movement without utilizing
Motion Functions of the device. Some areas may have a problem in making the device to fix GPS. In such a
case, you can get better location information about the device if you change the value of this parameter
depending upon the area where you utilize the device.

1. The device will include MODEL/DISTANCE/CELL/MCC/MNC/RSSI/LAC/TM_ADV/SATT/SIG_GSM if

“ADD_INF = 1”.
2. In a case that the device has been configured not to check MOTION. In such a case, even though any
motion is not made, the number of DISTANCE may increase little by little. In such a case, life time of
the battery could be extended. If the device is used under operation conditions having a very good
connectivity with GPS and GSM, it can be used approximately 5 days at a reporting interval of every 3
minutes.
3. If Field of <FIX> has <F>, there is a possibility that the GPS Module would have a problem. In such a
case, users have to contact Suntech.

10.3. What to do if PC displays “Alcatel Single RNDIS Interface”
This ‘Appendix 10.3’ covers how to solve a problem that a PC may recognize ‘Alcatel Single RNDIS Interface’ as
‘Network adapters’ when a USB cable is used to connect the ST940 with a PC. Please, check the steps below to know
if the procedure to connect a PC and the new ST940 may have a problem.
 Step 1. Probable problem in connecting a PC with the ST940 by using a USB Cable
There is one thing that you, as a user of the ST940, should be very careful in a case that you have never installed a
0
‘USB driver’ on a PC to enable the PC and the ST940 to be connected with each other by using a USB cable. In such
a case, “Network Adapters” of your “Device Manager” of the PC will recognize the ST940 (whose battery is OFF) as
“Alcatel Single RNDIS Interface” and the ST940 may not work. The following picture shows how such a case happens
to the PC:
 Step 2. How to start solving the problem
In such a case, the first thing that you have to do is remove the “Alcatel Single RNDIS Interface” from the
“Network Adapters” of the PC. And then, remove the USB Cable from the PC
 Step 3.
You should install ‘USB Driver” on that PC as described in Appendix 10.2.
